2.8Ghz Prescott & Voltage??

[x2c]

I just wanted to know what kind of voltage people are giving there 2.8Ghz Prescott's?
I've put it at 1.5v but didnt help get it stable any higher.
Anyone pushed it higher?

ya these scottie won't do good on air (assuming u have air since only 14x225).
some have put 1.6v into them (since thats the limitation on most boards)

[x2c]

My friend got his out of the box and put it stright to 250FSB with no vcore movement and its rock stable... I've now had 2 and both are stuck at 225FSB, we are both running the same board.
I guess he just got lucky :confused:

[a5h]

losen ur timmings? change divider to 5:4 or 3:2?

[a5h]

no way its stuck at 225... and to have 2 of them stop at the exact same speed is unreal. stock cooling?

It seems that something else is holding you back.
My 2.8E did 3520MHz w/ good aircooling at stock volts (1.38V) and at 1.5V it did 3781MHz w/ same cooling.

something is holding you back. Its not the chips that stops at the exact same speed.

For the life of me I can't figger out what it is :(
I have the latest bios in my board. My memory can handle doing 280MHz.
Any chance of it being the board?

[skate2snow]

It can be the AGP/PCI clock too.....

[x2c]

I've already locked that :)
I'm in windows at the moment @ 235FSB and 1.5V but I'm yet to see if its stable.
Plus when I change the vcore in the bios I don't know if the board is changing it or not.

[x2c]

This is how things stayed the whole way through the test, keep in mind that I've set the vcore to 1.5 :confused: and I'm at 240FSB now

[CODE 4]

I can do up to 1.6 and that is it on my P4C800E. Anything above and the damn thing will not post. I would love to be able to do 1.7 or more. I think that will give me a killer OC. Oh well time for a Abit Max 3 I guess

I have no problems hittin 240FSB on default volts

[x2c]

I'm getting rid of this board. It's the only thing I can think of that is holding me back :(

[althes]

get the max3 and you will be able to go far.

[macci]

P4C800-E will get ya even farther :D

You can keep that max3, wasnt very stable for me. I'd take a volt modded IS7 over a stock Max3. Ordered one, tried it, Modded it. Still the volts were everywhere.



I've put 1.7v to a prescott trying to get to 4ghz, didnt help over 1.6v.

best stable i could get out of a 2.8chip was 3.9ghz, @ +35C in my Vapo PE with folding running.

Thanks for the replys guys :D
I will be ordering the P4C800-E. I was looking at it yesterday, hope it gives me more joy.

Oh one other thing do you guys know if my vcore is locked on my board? P4P800SE
