Do you know any motherboard based on 946GZ with official support of 45-nm CPU?
I just pulled a Pentium E5300 (SLGTL) from my scrap bin. Just tested it to be good. I do not know of any 946gz boards that support a 45nm cpu. I do have a Intel DQ45CB board that supports 45nm and 65nm cpus, but not Pentium D or Pentium 4 cpus. Kinda thinking it would be easier to have a newer board support older cpus.

I just tried and it does not work. No bios beep codes or display. Only gets a little bit warmer than room temp.

So BIOS patch will not help.

Good day! I test this bios, computer start correctly, but cache size in bios is 0kb. I test E5300 and E7500 CPU.
UPD. E7500 working at 1600 MHz.

Hi, I flashed the modified bios from this post and board successfully started with C2D E7500 and also with Pentium E6500, but there is one problem - the frequency multiplier is stuck at x6 value, which causes the CPU not working at full speed. Is there any way to fix the multiplier at the bios level? I attach the CPU-Z txt report if it helps somehow.
