does any one have any problems with the p4p800 se
multiplyer selection of "8" in the BIOS ?

and does the newer bios let us overclock any higher ?

overclock what..? what processor are you using? i use the 1009.004 beta bios on my p4p800se and i dont have any problems overclocking so far

obv a P-M. They are the only Intel's that can be lower than 14...

On my P4P800SE, the lowert I could use was 9, 8 immediately hung on me.

8 doesn't work. 6 and 7 are fine. 8 is no good. for me at least

bhoward, do you boot at 280 or clockgen to 280 from 201 or somthing? and is there a way to raise the northbridge voltage so you can get the fsb higher.. mine seems to stop somewhere around 260

Does any one else have any issues booting up past 249 fsb 1:1 with 4 sticks of memory @ 3 3 3 8
4x512

multi 8 = freez

[ibby]

When I chose multi 8, it freezes,
and once i select 6 it boots up with multi 8

I used to boot at 9 x 210, then run SETFSB in my startup to set it to 280.

Now I am run a 750 at boot=10x201 then SetFSB to 275.

what voltage is that at.. anything above ~260 an i get a reboot even though its only at about 2.4ghz, and i can run 2.5 very stable at the same voltage

[bhoward]

VCore = 1.6v bios, 1.584v in MBM ... never moves
Memory = 2.85v
AGP = 1.6v

Stock cooler for now, idle = 38c load = 52c (MBM again)

Will be installing a Zalman 7000cu tonight ... hoping for better temps but not much more OC.

my 730 can run 250x10 @ 1.350 vcore so i tried to boot with vcore set at 1.4 and then clock get the fsb up to about 265x9 and i got a reboot instantly and this only equals about 2400 mhz so there must be somthing that is holding me back form higher fsb.. either the chip hits a wall or the northbridge voltage needs to be increased for some more fsb. i have hear that the vagp is really the northbridge voltage, is this true and is why you have it set to 1.6 instead of 1.5?

Now I am run a 750 at boot=10x201 then SetFSB to 275.

How do u set it ?

Please explain how.
and links to software would be great.

[bhoward]

You can find SetFSB here (http://www13.plala.or.jp/setfsb/). I use the one for the P4C800.

It takes command line parms being

"C:\Program Files\SetFSB\SetFSBu_P4C800.exe" -s276 -w3

where -s is the fsb to set and -w is a wait time in seconds. Create a sortcut on your desktop, right click for properties, change the target to include your parms.

Copy the shortcut to your startup folder to run on boot.

Thanks bhowards.... :)

I boot at 249 fsb x10

go into windows and increase the fsb to 260 x10.
@ 1.45v it is stable.

But my problem starts when i reboot the computer,
It does not post, I then have to clear the cmos and it defaults every thing back to "stock settings".

i have the same problem if i try to reboot after raising my clock with clockgen... jsut try shutting down instead of restarting, then just press the power button and turn it back on. works for me

[ibby]

Any reasons why it does that ?

[bhoward]

As stated in another post, the fsb set be clockgen is sticky thru the next boot, therefore, it is trying to post at 260 ... which it cannotdo. Simply reduce your fsb before rebooting or power off and then on again ... I know it's a pain!
