1333 fsb duo dore wont post

you posted a statement of fact not a question.
it will support
not
will it support(a real question)

well NO
and NO PC stated, only mobo.(lost the PC ?)
nor that this PC was mobo bought in India?
YOUR mobo is core2, not core(tm) processor
they are not even the same class nor socket
no
here is the list of core i3 (all are LGA
your mobo is core2. (older )
all are over 1000 pins, LGA1156 (gen 0)

you can not stuff 10 pounds(or kg) of mud in 1 pound sack.
no can do.

I don't see the Gateway GT5238E motherboard supporting an Intel Core2 Duo E8400.....

The motherboard in the Gateway GT5238E has an Intel G965/Q963 motherboard chipset.
Front Side Bus, (FSB), support is 1066MegaHertz. (1066MHz)

ARK Intel G965 Express Chipset Intel 82G965 Graphics and Memory Controller


ARK Intel Q965 Express Chipset Intel 82Q965 Graphics and Memory Controller


The Intel Core2 Duo E8400 requires an FSB support of 1333MHz,

Sounds more like in-correct power supply ?

Intel core tm duo cpu e4500 motherboard
Intel = Processor (CPU ) manufacturer
Intel Core tm = Trademark. The Intel Core is a Trademark from Intel
CPU stands for Central Processing Unit. Another term used is Microprocessor, or simply - Processor for short.
e4500 is an Intel Core2 Duo processor.
Maximum frequency rate ('Speed') is 2.2GigaHertz.
2MegaByte of L2 Cache. (2MB of L2 Cache)
800MegaHertz Front Side Bus. (800MHz FSB)

Tells me Nothing about the actual motherboard. Look on the motherboard for a Model Number. May be in center of motherboard. May be on edge of motherboard. May be in-between one of the expansion slots, on motherboard.

Also post what the problem is, in your best description.

Computer does not turn on. (Power Supply does not turn on)
Computer seems to turn on, but get No Signal on monitor, or Sleep Mode on monitor, or Power Saver Mode on monitor.
LED lights light up, and fans spin.

Go to http://www.gigabyte.com/support-downloads/download-center.aspx?kw=GA-965P-DS3

and click on revision 1.0 - 3.3 as there may be additional CPUs supported in Rev 3.3 vs 1.0, you have to determine what specific Revision you have.

PU Socket Type : LGA 775 CPU Type : Quad-core / Core 2 Duo / Pentium D / Celeron FSB : 1333/1066MHz
Good luck...

Yes this is normal. It is set under control panel /system icon /advanced tab /settings under performance and then advanced tab again.

buy any motherboard BUT asus.
asus tech support is rubbish.
i run my system on an ASROCK motherboard.
excellent boards, 2500mhz bus, can handle any cpu, most have 4 ram slots.

Hi proenza. you're making good sence! You're D945GCL MB should be able to run 1066 FSB. Not 100% sure you're memory will keep FSB up to 1066.
Here's the trouble though. The Intel Core 2 Duo E6850 will not run on the Intel D945GCL motherboard because it is not supported. Look here at Intel's web site. Supported CPU's.

Intel E6700 spec sheet. http://www.dealtime.com/xPF-Intel-Core-2-Duo-E6700-2-67Ghz

This CPU is supported by the D945GCL MB.

In order to get 1066MHz (CPU can run at), you'll also need the memory support at 800MHz. The D945GCL MB can only run DDR2-667MHz.
Many people buy a CPU to run MB's specs (1333MHz) just to find the same MB does not support DDR2-1066MHz or DDR2-800MHz. Motherboard Mfg's are lagging. DDR3-1333MHz is out there now to support the 1333 MHz CPU FSB.

I hope this has helped you make a decision proenza.

Good Luck!

This board wont take a 1333 cpu. The fastest it will run is 1066

This motherboard supports the latest Intel® Pentium / Celeron CPU in LGA775 package with 1066/ 800/ 533MHz FSB, Hyper-Threading Technology and core-speeds up to 3.8GHz and beyond.
Make sure your RAM is DDR2 800mhz
The Pentium D830 runs at 800fsb which is in line with the board capabilities.
