Who wants P4GD1s in the US? I've got a plan...

[Movieman]

M8, I'm just suprised you convieniently had a friend in Zagreb Croatia.
Yes, friends all over, south africa,canada, austrailia( visiting here in Feb)
This one shocked me, I'd done my searching, got nowhere, asked the guys on my ICQ list if they would help out locally and this guy I'd known less than a month through a guy in Utah,saw an add in a local paper, called the guy who had bought it months ago for a project he never did and drove 15 minutes to his house and bought it.

Did the boards ship out today ? :confused:

[Newbie_User]

Report a mobo death....
related to i don't konw....

Previous rig was :
Ce M 370 J
asus Ct-479 adaptor
Tagan 330W Power Supply (+24 pins to 20 pins adaptor connector)
2x512 DDR Corsair XL 2-3-3-6
Board was running well...then died....

Cpu was a little more 2.6 Ghz (FSB around 173-175 and Vcore to 1.45 V)
So it is.....

Board was unmodded

Will advice you to wait for Sonoma based architecture mobo's....

24 to 20 pin == BAD

[cirthix]

the 20 to 24 pin adapter won't do any good or harm. if it was wired wrong, the psu would short out instantly and turn itself off. if it was wired correctly, its not going to cause a problem.

newbie user: test each component seperately, ram in another box, cpu in a lappy, vid card in another box, use a known good pwoer supply, p4 in the mobo, reset bios, the works.

[Drakey]

20 to 24 is ok but 24 to 20 == bad

[Ratax]

20 to 24 is ok but 24 to 20 == bad

Well, let us know why please...

[cirthix]

good news everyone :D. saaya has shipped the boards to me, in their boxes, with all the cables and goodies for all. i'm not sure if i'll need to pay him more than what we estimated, but hopefully he got a good deal. either way, they are shipped and thats what matters now :).

and to you guys about the 24 and 20 pin adapters, they make no difference either way. its a pin to pin connection, unless they are connected to something they shouldnt be or not connected fully, they will make no difference for the better or worse. I'll personallybe using one, but that's because my new power supply's mobo connector is really short and i need it extended

[Vapor]

24 to 20 pin != bad. Period....the extra four pins are just for extra current draw if required. On top of that, a 24 pin can plug directly into a 20 pin and have 4 pins just dangling out no problem as well.

Good news cirthix! That means that those of us getting boards directly from saaya should have ours shipped fairly soon as well! :woot:

Sounds like wishful thinking to me :slobber: :slobber: I'm in the same boat as you Vapor :D

[Drakey]

sorry was @ work didnt have time to explain.


yes 24 pin that you can take off the extra four to make a 20 pin is fine.

however when you use a 24 to 20 pin converter it gives the last 4 pins extra current giving the mobo more then required. ive seen so many mobos come back with no post since they released those converters thats why they now came up with the ability to slide the extra 4pins off if you mobo does not require them.

[Weaselblade]

Given that the additional 4 wires come from the same spot in the psu, I have a hard time imagining them having this effect... It should really make no difference if the 4 extra pins are disconnected or joined with the wires to the existing, corresponding pins; all they are is additional parallel paths between the same places.

[Vapor]

Exactly...it's ONLY to allow more current to be able to be moved as wires can overheat and eventually get to the point where they have a resistance and CAN'T supply the current. Adding more paths for power to get from point A to point B isn't going to hurt point B, regardless of how little power it uses.

I've run a 24-20 pin converter for as long as they've been around on my Fortron server PSU to my old P4 board and there's been no damage what-so-ever.

[Drakey]

I C,

Maybe just a :banana::banana::banana::banana:ty converter that came with the psu then.

well learn something everday

[Johnny Bravo]

Exactly, just because there are exta wires doesn't mean there will be extra current BEING FORCED into the mobo. The board will draw as much current AS IT NEEDS, its the same as the myth that you buy a bigger ATX PSU and it'll cost more to run. Rubbish! It'll draw exactly as much power from the wall as the last one did, however, it will have the ability to supply more in the future!!!!

mission control, the eagle, err.. boards, yes boards, have landed.
now all we need is the chips :D

[MeltedDuron]

I have chips... :p:

[sang]

you don't necceseraly need to boot at 200
u should go something like 160*17 to boot then lower the multi with eist and raise the fsb with clockgen..
Asus will release another bios for the board,let's pray for the best :)
too bad the chipset 915 is slow.. :(
the board would be perfect with decent preformance&fix ..


hehe - just try 160x17 and raise FSB in windows with CG and see what will gonna happen :)

the correct boot for 780 owners is 167-200 FSB interval.Otherwise u'll be in big trouble.

[BlueWonder]

SOooooo, what's the status of the boards that WERN'T going to cirthix?
No updates from Saaya makes Blue a very dull boy. :(

[cirthix]

ahhhh, i cant wait untill tomorrow, hopefully they will be in. there's some other goodies i'm dying for too, but the mobo.... dammn the tracking for not working, the suspense is killing me. sleep will pass the time, so i'm off to go do that. goodnight all

[saaya]

can somebody tell me what is max voltage fod ram on p4gd1?2.9v wich results in 2.92v :)

sorry i didnt keep you guys and the thread up to date for a while, my roomate is not getting treamtnet and his family came to pick up his stuff... was a weird feeling to see him suddenly go insane after knowing him for around 3 years now... :/

i was busy moving his stuff out and cleaning up the room and apartment to prepare for a new roomate, me and the other roomate now have to find a new guy asap. plus as soon as i had recovered from the stomach flu/food poisoning thing a buddy who was travelling through spain for a mopnth came ack and imported a nice flu he sneezed and coughed at me :slap: :D

about the boards, i work for the deutsche post/dhl, so i sent some boards but the station where they receive the boxes closed. so i left them at work and asked a co-worker to send them out and gave him the money.
but there was a problem, you can either send something as "paket", wich is up to 5kg and insured, or you ca send it as a "päckchen" (small box) wich is only up to 2kg. you can chose an option to have each sent via airmail, and in my booklet it said if you send something via airmail its automatically insured up to 500€. BUT what i didnt know was that for some reason those small boxes arent insured even when they get sent via airmail...
a friend of me worked at the airport and always told me about how loads of stuff gets lost there, so when my co-worker called me and told me it wouldnt be insured i told him not to send those boards then.
sending as box costs a bit extra, for some regions like astralia and hong kong a lot extra!
i now sent all boards insured because i dont wanna risk anything... sorry if some of you might be annoyed that bshipping costs more, but i didnt want to risk anything... :/

now to the people who bought from me directly. some also bought a dothan 780ES cpu through me. those cpus arrived later than expected (half have arrived, other half will arive in 2 days) so i didnt sent those boards out right away because i will send the cpu and the board together.

boards that have not been sent out yet:
there are 5 more boards i managed to get from com-texx wich went to bjonz,fewture,ojdr2001,neova,hipro5

vapor and bjonz, sending one box costs around 50€, i will send your boards and the 780ES for vapor together to vapor, ok?
i will get the board for you, bjonz, in 4 days, and will then send it all to vapor and he will send the board to you.

ben babyelf and neova, you guys are all from the same region hong kong/australia, so i will send your boards together, ok?
i can send 3 boards in one box, wich costs around 60€ via airmail, sending each board in a seperate box would also cost 60€ each...
im getting neovas board in 4 days, then i will send all your boards and the 780ES for ben together in one box. please let me know whom i should send all the stuff.

hipro5 im still waiting for the 3rd p4gd1 for you, will send the 3 boards plus the ct479 to you as soon as i get the extra 5 boards.

fewture will send the board plus the 780ES to you as soon as i get the extra 5 boards.


sorry for the delay you guys, it all started with 10 boards, but a group order of 37 boards plus 19 780ES cpus was a much more complex thing :D
so please esxcuse the delays... :bows:

[saaya]

warning!
i almost forgot, franck the author of cpuz is working on a p4gd1 tweaker for us :banana:

i was beta testing the tweaker and while i was at it i discovered a serious issue on the p4gd1 board. never, ever, use clockgen and cpuz at the same time on this board!
if you do both will report an increased fsb but the speed will actually stay the same! well whats the problem with that? :D
after you reboot your memory will die... dont ask me how or why, but i lost a 256mb bh5 stick at first and thougt it was a coincidence and the stick was just old, but i repeated the same situation and lost yet another stick... :(


oh and none of the boards i sent out yet have the bios flashed!
im sorry but i only got a cpu to flash the bios on monday, and i had the boards already wrapped in paper and put in boxes.
i will try to flash all the boards i havent sent out yet, but i dont know if i have enough time.

if you get your boards and want to flash them i recommend you to flash to 1006 and not 1005, i dont know if it was me or if the options werent available, but in 1005 there was no option whastoever, no fsb setting, no dram setting, vcore, vdd, vdim, fsb termination voltage, pc and pciE locks etc etc...

the bios is really lame imo, and it took me some time to get used to it. i will make a new thread with tips soon :)

Come on saaya..........Make it quick......I'll get a Shaphire X1800XT for free to test it in a few days........ :D

i can send you one board with ct479 right now :P
but then you pay extra shipping... let me know.... :D
for 50€ i could even send it as express and you would have the board and ct479 in 1-3 days :D

but i wouldnt recommend that... too much money...

:caution: Thanks for the warning. However, if I recall properly, I've used clockgen and cpu-z simultaneously on this board without any issues... but I don't think I'll repeat this as I don't have any "spare" BH-5 around :D

[saaya]

i think the 915 tweaker will go public during theese days :)
ill ask franck if i can share the current version with you guys. atm its just memory timings, but better than nothing :)

franck said he wants to implement multiplier and vcore as well. he would like to implement more settings but he doesnt have the infos about the chipset he would need from intel :/

biggest problem i see with the p4gd1 is the lack of dividers. theres only a 5:4 and a 1:1 divier, thats it... :/

i hope a new bios adds all the other dividers.

and about killing the memory, well my banias couldnt get over 150fsb for some reason, 150fsb was stable, 150.5fsb would freeze the system...

when i had cpuz and clockgen running i could get over 150fsb... or so i thought :D
actually the seed was still the same. when i closed cpuz and restarted it it was showing 150fs again... i rebooted and thats where my memory died.
no idea how this happened, franck has no idea either...

i tried the same thing again and again my memory died, so it wasnt a coincidence...

[sky]

as i mentioned via pm, this might very well be due to a faulty board, as both sticks
died in the same board, maybe even the same slot - i know i'll test mine with some
infineon 6as first ;) not to waste some good ole bh5

[saaya]

i dont think the board is faulty, it worked perfectly fine except for the sticks dieing when using clockgen and cpuz to increase the fsb beyond of what was stable...

[AgonxOC]

What bios works with this board... I am thinking about getting one....

Alex

[saaya]

well good luck finding one :D

1006 or 1007 beta i think is floating around... 1005 and below are worthless iirc, until 1006 there are no vcore vdimm and fsb options etc...

[cirthix]

hey everybody... i'm looking at 11 P4GD1s droolllll. the boards came in today. unfortunately, the shipping bios does not support the adapter and i dont have a 533/800fsb p4 to flash with. good news is that my local pc shop owner owes me a favor and said i could bring a board in (he doesnt know there are 11, so i might hotflash the rest and not burden him.. or i could just push my luck) and flash it using one of his cpus.

more good news is the atx power plug, its 24 pin, but has the little nub all the way along it, so 20 pin connectors will have no problem clipping on.

more good news: 2 people dropped today, the first 2 to pm me gets em:)

bad news: due to shipping costing about 10 bucks per board more than what we expected, the costs of a board is now 150usd shipped. sorry for the increase, but shipping was just more than we expected (and paypal fees too, grr).

[saaya]

sorry about the shipping costs thing, i really misread the pricing system :/
but i have to say this dhl pricing table is a pos! :D
its incredibly complex and there are many things that arent mentioned in the right places...

good to hear the boards arrived zizi :D
and it passed customs just fine? :D sweeeeeet :D

Pertinent information:
**The shipped price of a board to the U.S. is 150usd. If you are in Canada, we'll talk in PMs, but it won't be much more.
**Unless you're fine with waiting a week for your personal cheque to clear payment is by postal money order only.
**If you have not already sent me your address, please do so.
**Inside the envelope with payment, there should be three things: the money order, your XS username, and your shipping address. This will help me keep track of things and reduce possible errors.
**Please let me know when you send payment, that way i wont nag you :D
**If you do not respond to my pm to this post within a week, I'll put the board that was reserved for you in the for sale section.
**In the event that a board is dead on arrival, I can't do anything for you, but luckily ASUS is pretty quick with RMAs.
**My heatware is under cirthix and i'd appreciate a review after you get your board.
**All boards are brand new, in the retail box with all accessories, but i'm not going to test each and every one of them.
**In the event that you ask me to flash your bios, I'll put it in my board and flash it there(much easier than swapping everything, especially with a 7700cu).
**I will use one board to flash my bios, it will be out of the stack that is going to the people that need them flashed. This board will not be oc'd and only used for flashing bioses. consider it being tested :P. I'll let you know if you will be getting this one. I'll only use it to flash my bios, and anyone else who needs it will be hotflashed in my personal board.
**If you want your bios flashed, just ask. If you don't, i'll assumed that you don't need it flashed.
**If you have any questions, just ask.
**You have been PM'd a link to this with my address and name, if i missed you, PM me.

hmmm will call dhl tomorrow and see whats up.
if your boards arrive tomorrow lmk so i dont have to call and wait in line :D

kinda funny, the box arrived in hong kong in one week and it takes almost 2 weeks or longer to arrive in a european country LOL :D

EDIT2: uh oh... customs might have your box and thats why it didnt arrive yet... :/ good luck man!
i wrote a note on the box saying those are prizes for a competition here on xs, so they shouldnt ask for any custom fees and if they do they should be low.

you really think your governemtn is very good? or was that scarcasm? :D
at least all those people who demonstrated are very unhappy with the governemtn as its not democratic at all... or so they claim... no idea actually.

AFAIK if You pay VAT in EU country, You don't have to pay it in another country, no matter if rates are different..

i wrote a note on the box saying those are prizes for a competition here on xs, so they shouldnt ask for any custom fees and if they do they should be low.

funny sidenote (offtopic).. back when i got the prize of the xs.logo competition
and had to go pick it up at our local customs shack, they asked whether i had
something in writing that would state that the chilly1 custom actually was a
prize of some competition. as i didnt have any of that, i said "i might email him
(chilly1) and ask him to send a fax over or something" hmm, but that would
have meant another day or two worth of delay.. anyway, after a bit more of
back and forth talking i finally said that i won this rig on a forum ... guess
what.. they made me log onto xs (on a slow as hell pc, probably one of the
first pentiums or some such) and check my pms here and the compothread...

well the end of it was i had to draft a note stating that yes, the part in
question is a competition prize and that i won it here...

that's the end of it.. no taxes, nothing! YAY! (arriving at 5mins to closing
time might have helped :p), so just pick it up and take it home

bla, and yes, customs took it sweet time to send me a notice that they had
stuff waiting for me...

hm your board is still here, still waiting for the board for bjonz and the other guys... i dont know whats up with the shop, the money for the last 5 boards should have arrived for them last week already. i called them the last 3 days but they always claim all lines are occupied, wich i dont believe since its a rather small shop. i sent them a mail and a fax, but nothing :/

if your not going to be at home i could send it all to bjonz instead...
i hope i get the boards asap though, so i should send them out this week or early next week and they should arrive during next week if all goes well...

Received my P4GD1 "XS edition" and 780ES yesterday. Got my badboy 7700-CU ready for an airstrike, now just gonna give my CT-479 a ramp up hipro5 style and we're set for some overclocking mayhem.

[saaya]

Here's more pics of the 780ES, out of the packaging this time, lol. btw, it's worth a mention that Saaya did very well on the packaging. the 780es was VERY snuggly padded.

[Vapor]

BW....good looking snaps there. Also, great to hear about the packaging :D

saaya....do you know what my tracking # is/will be?

i edited your pics, please dont show closeups showing the marks on the cpu as they could cause the source of the cpus trouble :)

vapor, no idea... weekend, the dhl line here is unmanned atm...
i called them 3 times tand they kept giving me the same numbers i sent you, i doubt they will sudenly have a diferent number for me ^^

but ill call again on monday...

[Vapor]

I didn't get a number from you. I'm confused now. :(

Also, you might want to edit the 2D bar code on bottom center, they can track them that way.

EDIT: changed the wording a little

lol, confused you with frozendeath :D
my bad, too many cpus and boards :confused2

what bar code?

[Vapor]

Lol, np about mixing it up. :D

The little array of dots on the sticker on the bottom middle is a 2D barcode (the ones on stuff you buy at a store that they scan are 1D).

[saaya]

i covered that, maybe its still showing up for you because its in the browser cache :)

[BlueWonder]

Oops sorry bout that guys, I was unawares of how it worked. My bad.

[MorueM]

Hi there, I'm in Canada and I'm looking for one of these P4GD1 mobo.. What's my best bet? P4C800-dlx is fun, but I want that pci-e too:D

[rhino56]

[hipro5]

heheheh

sorry guys, no p4gd1 boards left, and it seems i wont be able to get any :(
and george, as soon as the 780es arrives i will send em out :)

[sky]

oh, they're still not there.. awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwh

[saaya]

:S sorry

sent out today
ah crap, gotta get ready for the next night shift at work... damn this christmas sux :(

[Vapor]

saaya, when are bjonz and mine getting sent?

[MorueM]

sorry guys, no p4gd1 boards left, and it seems i wont be able to get any :(

So no one is still selling this board anymore?
I'm in Canada and could use/buy 3 of these.. but 1 could be a good start.

..seems I'm outta luck today, non-moddable connect3D x800gto, then a reply like that..
Any help would be good.. I'll reread everything again too.
Thanx

[Vapor]

Try to find a P4GDL-X (or something like that). It's a stripped down version of this board (and slightly worse memorywise from what we can tell).

P4GD1s are gone, just about everywhere.

[MorueM]

Yeah, p4gpl-x could do the trick too, even if p4gd1 is my first choice..

I think I saw german sites with the p4gpl-x available, but I just don't understand it.. If someone could help me, would be happy.

[DarkSyd]

I still can't seem to find either one in Canada nor the US. There's some site (ngenx.org) that comes up with the P4PGPL-X when you froogle it, but I've never heard of them, and I can't find them on reselleratings.

This is getting frustrating :(

[Vapor]

Neither board was really made for mass-production and I don't think ASUS really cares much about S478 much any more (gl finding a P4C800 at a half-way decent price) and just wants to move on to S479v2 (Yonah) and maintain their LGA775 dominance.

saaya bought the remaining world-wide stock of GD1s apparently....GPL-Xs never really got popular and I'd bet ASUS just stopped making them.

[DarkSyd]

Heh, never really popular becuase they pretty much chose not to sell them to their intended market.

At this point I'm torn between trying to pick up a GPL-X, and just ditching the whole project and getting an X2.

[saaya]

the x2 is definately the better overall performer, the dothan is just good for gaming and bechmarking and for a silent/low power rig.

and vapor, as i said, there are appearently boards left in russia uklraine, but those countries are very corrupt and you would have to pay the customs guys like 60$ or so to make sure your boards doesnt get "lost"

[NiCKE^]

I've found a shop that sells GPL-X and might one which got 12! P4GD1's. I mailed them to confirm it. I can might fix something if someone is interested.

[saaya]

if it turns out you can get some please post about it in the classies.
good luck!

[lawrywild]

I'd take a p4gd1 NiCKE^

where's the shop? priced?

Cheers

[NiCKE^]

They only sell to companies but that could probably be sorted out.
They didn't say if they had any in the first mail, dunno why really.

[saaya]

i dont think they have any... i found odzens of shops and retailers and suppliers claiming they had them, but they just didnt update their lists or thougt they could order them again, and when i acutally requested some whoooops, we cant order them anymore... :slap:

but good luck!

and please keep any discussions about this to pm or in the classies, please dont post any prices or anything.
this thread was an exception of the rule, im admin here and well known and trusted, usually we dont allow selling or dealing outside the classies.
if you still wanna do it go ahead and hit me up though, thats what cirthix did about this thread :)

[NiCKE^]

Well it was wrong shop I got the mail from hehe. :P

[Movieman]

Just noticed a few 780 ES's on ebay. Not sure of the policy of posting links here to sales so just do a search for "780 ES"

[Vapor]

Put it in the deals section, should get some decent attention there.

[saaya]

its a ripp off though :D

[nhenhophach]

Everyone still want P4GD1?????

[saaya]

everybody? no.
a bunch of people? yes :D

Hi guys. Does anyone of you have go to Vietnam for holiday:D

[Movieman]

In Viet Nam buy P4GD1yis easy.:D

What does the P4GD1 sell for in Vietnam and how many are available that your aware of?
Would you be willing to purchase them in quantity? say 20-100?
How difficult is customs over there?
Thats step one, if the price is viable and the other considerations can be taken care of then I can make a call to an importer I know and see if this can be done.

[nhenhophach]

Oh today i have check P4GD1 is out stock. Only have P4GPL-X.

[saaya]

Oh today i have check P4GD1 is out stock. Only have P4GPL-X.
;) i told you guys...
ive checked resellers and trade and distributor channels in europe and asia...
there are no boards left, only some in shops in russia and ukraine, and exporting them is as complicated as having them imported from mars :D

[c0V3Ro]

omg! i'm very interested in buying a p4gd1! :slobber:
can I pay with paypal? how much it will cost to ship by usps ems (or similar with tracking) to brazil, city: brasilia? can you guys ship as gift and declare the total value as US$49.00? i'm asking because brazilian customs will charge me, over the total, in 60%.:eek:

its hilarious as you read this thread, you start out like wow i want one, by the time you get to the end you realize you just wasted an hour and hlaf reading about something you cant get anyways.

maybe edit the first post and warn people :slap:

[saaya]

done :D

[cirthix]

all motherboards except for one have been shipped out. thelonelyswede has been droppped because he doesnt answer pms and he's just taking too long. i'm patient, but not THAT patient :P. the last motherboard is in the for sale section.

[boshuter]

I sent you a pm on here and AT. :)

[ingentingmendeg]

same here, YGPM

[marvt74]

Your fairly late ingentingmendeg All the motherboard allocations are done now and as far as i can tell none are available

[ingentingmendeg]

what the hell lol. where the hell can you get these boards?

[marvt74]

Not many places these days, ebay is about the only place and as Cithrix pointed out the other day a lot of people are selling them for an extortionate rate.

My best recommendation is to get a P4GPLX as its essentially the same board and pretty cheap

true only two ram slots though, so if you are planning on using a DDR booster you will be out of luck.

[Vapor]

It's as close as you can get right now....unless you find a P4DG1 second hand (not that hard to imagine...I'd sell mine if I :banana::banana::banana::banana:ing had it).
