Old School Dothan (what Re Your Daily Usage??)

[hey]

hi guys! ,, i just started to use dothan 780es daily with asus p4p800se..i just wanna learn at what voltages and speeds you re running your dothans with ct adaptor,,,

here is mine on box cooling for now,i had no time to find most optimized settings yet,,1.45v in bios but droops upto 1.41v according to everest,,,i need vdrop mod..:(

Give it 1.5V+ real and it should do a lot better. This is nothing special for a 780 chip. Vdroop mod is very useful if you use a vcore higher than 1.3v (lol).

i have a dothan 710 that runs wcg 24/7 and holds the Wr for that chip type at 2.7 it really needs a v droop mod tho as 1.575v bois = 1.5 v if i,m lucky

If i remember correctly, wasnt there a pinmod that delivered 1.5v to the cpu that had much less vdroop vs setting through bios? U-wire mod i think it was called......been a long time lol

yea i tested it but didn't deliver what i needed so i removed it.

I think the problem lies in the adaptor as these older dothans need a higher voltage than the asus adaptor supplys. Hipro5 (George) worked out this and modded adaptors to suit the dothan chip that was being used.

My chip loves voltage and i sure it would go into the 3ghz + zone if i could supply more stable volts to it. really smash my world record again instead of small climbs of 5 or 6 mhz

Every CPU is different...my 780 OEM for example didn't like high vcores at all. On a fully modded board/adaptor, 1.55v was its sweetspot, even at subzero temperatures. Other 780's were often like this as well. Especially since these use low power transistors, all of them might not respond so well to vcore. I would say that 2.85GHz on air would be the average oc for them though.
