Looks like I'm getting ready to load an unsupported Opteron 185 CPU in my
Gigabyte K8NS Ultra 939 mobo. It's a 939 form factor CPU and appears for all
practical purposes to be identical to the AMD 64 4800 x 2 CPU, except that
the Opteron wafer is a bit heftier and instead of each core running at
2400GHz, the Opteron cores are running at 2600GHz. There is some marketing
hype BS between the two which describes the L2 cache of the 4800 as 1MB x 2
whereas the Opteron 185 is described as 2MB. Other than that, I can't see
any real differences and if the Opteron heat sink is up to spec, it seems
like this would work .............sooo........anyway, I gotta' try this. I'm
going to put on my blast suit before boot up.

OK then. The 165 is supported but the 175 is not.

http://www.gigabyte.com.tw/Support/Motherboard/CPUSupport_Mo del.aspx?ProductID=1839

If it works with the 175, then maybe I'll be good. This mobo has been out of
production for a while so the 175, 180 and 185 may not have even existed
when it was in production. We'll know for sure on Tuesday night.

Here's some other info that is interesting. Looks like the GA-K8NS Ultra 939
has an equivalent sibling, the K8NSNXP-939. This might be a good
Paris mobo with a single core 939 CPU.

Thanks,

Deej

HI Deej,
As long as the board posts into the BIOs you will have a chance to make
it work. You might have to mess around with the BIOs CPU settings.
