Can anyone with a 533 fsb chip try to confirm this, that he is able to boot at higher fsb's with the 400FSB jumpers?

I have a 730 chip but my p4gd1 doesn't have multi change in bios, so max boot FSB is 225, which can be done with both jumpers easily.

hipro5: Can tantalum capacitors be used instead of the ceramic SMDs (the 1uF/63V)? If yes what is the orientation (ground and +) of those spots?
Just asking because those I can buy one at the time where as for SMDs I would need to order 10,000

I have everything collected and as soon as Hipro gives me the okay on the parts I have, I will bag them up.
PM me if you want one of the kits. http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/...6&d=1134563448

No they can't.......Each capacitor is made to do a certain job.......;)

First of all, MOVE AWAY the 100uF electrolitic cap from the PCB......IF you take a good look underneath it, you will see MANY lines.....Those lines are carring DATA and they are from the CPU.......They are "printed COILS"......Move away of them the cap and place it in another direction......It is impossible to boot only at that fsb!......Can your CPU handle more frequency?......Try to lower the multi and see if you can boot at higher fsb than 246MHz......

run how many mm are those 100uf? I have the 5mm they will only fit, max is 5mm between ct and mobo.

Can this be replace by a SMD 22uF/6V Tantalum capacitor?

Damn now I have to find someone/someplace where I can get those 4 ceramic SMD capacitors :/ since I don't feel like ordering 10,000.

ofcourse i tried lowering multi, and yes it could handle more frequency on 11x anyway..

i dont understand? why would the cap touching the pcb cause any problems, i'm pretty sure moving it another direction wont do anything..?

Good since now I found a place that can supply me those ceramic SMD capacitors and only have to buy 10 ;). Shame that I can't use SMD Tantalum capacitors instead of those ceramic SMDs :( since found these http://www.mouser.com/index.cfm?hand...oductid=193978 at my local shop.

Can I install the 100uF, 47uF and the 22uF capacitors and use the board while I wait for mu 1uF SMDs to arrive?

On how high fsb could you able to boot?......

It matters.....You may encode lookups within Windows and unexpected freezes......

Have you tried ELFA?

Mats: Yes I have and my local ELFA told me minimum is 10,000 but now getting them from Yleiselektroniikka.

ps. Kan vara att ELFA säljer i mindre, men försäljaren var trött ;)

nah it's fine in windows mate ;)

even with the VCCA mod alone, i was able to boot 246..

i'll probably re-solder the VCCA mod when i'm finished skool in a few days.. :cool:

All my components arrived today, Hypro can you give them your OK?

100uF/16V electrolytic cap

Murata 25V/1uF ceramic smd cap

Tantalum cap 22uF/10V Low ESR

Tantalum 47uF/16V smd cap

Also ordered 1K2 1% smd resistor to replace the existing one.

Thanks

I am able to boot that high without any VCCA mod done using the 400FSB jumpers.

Hhaha ok. they are 5mm ? You can compare with the 100uf's @ youre audio controller of dfi nf4 ;) Otherwise place them on the top site of the ct :D
