FSB question

**Blakeman** · 05-27-09, 11:13 AM

Ok I think I might have made a mistake, but I need some of you tech heads to determine if I did.

I just bought this mobo... (no comments please, it is what I can afford)

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16813131329

Which has a listed FSB speed of 1333mhz or higher if overclocked.

Now I bought it thinking that was fine with this...

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16819115003

intel E6600 processor with 2.40ghz and a 1066mhz FSB speed.

Will the mismatched FSB speed cause it not to work? The sockets match up but will the mobo burn out the chipset or vice versa?

Any help appreciated, hopefully I do not have to buy more parts.

Yes, it will work fine. If you are ever in doubt go to the manufacturer page for the mobo, it will tell all supported CPUs.

Thanks! Front Side Bus is one of the things that I still can't wrap my head around fully. I had just spent 350 bucks on parts and was hoping I wouldn't have to send any back on account of my ignorance of it.
