3 x BOD. M/B CPU Compatibility

#1 Post by Oraklini » Sat Jul 19, 2008 7:10 pm

Hello again from the UK,

I've been presented with two T20's & one T21 exhibiting BOD symptoms.

2647-21g T20 650Mhz
2647-84g T20 700Mhz
2647-cgg T21 800Mhz

Hopefully I have found a great deal on four brand new sealed in static bags 12p3875 system boards. From the research I have done I think I should be good to go sorting these machines.

246-21g is 9/10 externally, so I wish this to be the best build. Am I ok in presuming the 800mhz cpu will co-inhabit with the 12p3875?

The system board pulled from 246-21g is 12p3044

Please bear in mind I can't boot these machines to update bios etc

Thanks for any input :help:

Both mobo numbers seem to exist, but are not mentioned in the HMM.
A Google search does not match them up either.

Have you got a match of 12P3875 with another mobo?

Assuming this new mobo is for a T20/T21, any CPU should fit on it.
If you find a 850/900/1000MHz, then you need the larger T22 CPU cooler.

Just installed the 12P3875 system board into 2647-21g T20 650Mhz
and all is well.

I bought four of these brand new boards for £10 each so four more
TP's get a new lease of life :D
