    I wanted to know if it is possible to install a 400mhz FSB Dothan Core CPU in the Asus z70va without problems without pinmodding?

    Also, can I pinmod successfully using an Asus Z70VA?

    Has anyone tried it?

    Thanks. :p

    Yes...I know it will void the warranty.

    Well, I went ahead and bought a used Pentium M 1.6ghz 400mhz FSB Dothan used off of Ebay for $85 shipped priority. :eek:

    Looks like the answer is a YES since the Z70VA has a 915 chipset.

    Can't wait!
