Thanks again, teqguy! That should do the trick. I need the Vcore options for some overclocking of a Dothan core Celeron....

Has any one tried flashing a p4p800 with p4p800 se or vm bios i have my ct-479 , 1.6ghz 2mb dothan and a p4p800 just waiting to run.
Try it and you will be first to know :) You got some other board you can hotflash with?
not another asus board just a abit ic7-max3.
I am tempted to try but it's a good board and dont want to trash it. I had my p4 2.8c up to 3.7 stable 265 fsb on it so i have high hopes for running the dothan on it with a cascade(cathar) water cooler on it.
Well, you can probably hotflash with the MAX3 board, it uses awd right?
I just found a hotflash guide explaining how to remove the bios from a good board / insert the duff bios and re-flash it so i will give this a go later on just need to find my bios remover first.
asus have a download section for the ct-479
ct-479 downloads
the max3 uses pheonix award bios just like the msi nforce2 i have.
Will check the 2 shuttle sff systems i have too
i just booted the p4p800 and it's using ami bios.
i tested the p4p800-vm bios 1009 first and afudos says the rom has an invalid romid is is incompatible with this board. :(
I guess if you new how you could get the rom id from a p4p800 bios and update the p4p800-vm bios :confused:
no need for that if you run /n /pbnc after the file name it will force the update which i just did and i am about to restart the p4p800 (deep breath)
hits reset
it booted ok with the p4p800vm logo but it gave a pci irq error.
I can get into the bios and everything looks ok.
i will do some testing and get back.
I had flashed from a bios that predated the CT-479 support with a CT-479 in use. In the BIOS it just showed my CPU as being a "Genuine Intel". This was on a P4P800-SE and the bios was dated late '04. Just thought I'd throw that out if anyone wanted to know.
I have windows xp installed no problem. The only thing that wont work is the 3com lan as the p4p800-vm uses an intel lan.
Just need to get the ct-479 installed and upgrade the bios.
this p4p800-vm has no overclocking options at all I hope the new bios for the ct-479 is better.Has anyone run a actual p4p800-vm with the ct-479 ? I might have to try the p4p800-se bios see what that does.
P4GD1 now officially supports the P-M adapter

Nice to hear, ordered the Asus P4GD1 on Friday. Gonna use the adapter and a Celeron M 1,3 GHz 1 MB. My first new Intel system i 7 years. Back then i had a Pentium II 300 on an Asus P2L97. :toast:Quote:

When I got to 1.55Vcore, something died. I haven't tested everything yet but I'm pretty sure it's the CT-479. Even though I couldn't get the cpu past 2.25, it did that speed at 1.25 volts / stock cooling. I wish you better luck than I Kamerat....Quote:

I'm not as good at board level work as I'd like to be, but I think the problem is inherent in the fact that while the CT-479 is receiving external power via a molex connector, the socket is still recieving power from the motherboard.
So far, everyone who's had problems with this adapter came out of it with a processor that survived.
If the voltage regulation on the motherboard and processor have no scope of the voltage regulation on the CT-479 adapter(and vice versa), it might be leading to more power being drawn than neccessary.
Try unplugging the 4-pin molex connector on the motherboard (the one that's proprietary for Pentium 4 boards).
If it boots, then it'll prove my theory. If it doesn't, then it's probably due to inferior components on the CT-479.
Wht hard modd ? putting a small wire across 2 points of the socket so the board thinks the cpu has a greater vcore range or is there another way on the ct-479.
Not had time to connect the ct-479 but will tomorrow but i do have clockgen and eist to make changes with out the bios.

just curious..
It requires that a bios be modified to support the Pentium M.Quote:

Give me a model number and I'll see if it's possible for that board.
Yes the hard modd is the wire between 2 pin of the socket :D
like abit ic7 for example..Quote:

besides helping to recognize correct name and some minor microcode update to cpu itself..
the only thing incompatible would be maybe vid-pins..
like you put a mobile celeron onto abit i*7 and mobo only gives it 0.7-0.8v by default...

The point of the adapter is to rewire the socket to support the Pentium M.Quote:

Sorry about your loss. :(Quote:

btw, was it the J-stepping or older one?Quote:

Ok, I have a strange problem, using the 1009.001 beta bios for a while and I can't set my VCORE below 1.500V. It always defaults to 1.56V in the BIOS. I used to have the full range of options, however suddendly all but 9 of them disappeared :confused: and I can only select between 1.500 - 1.600V. Now this isn't much of a problem with my Celeron M 340 (Banias core) but it's a problem for my C-M 350 (Dothan core). When I plugged it in I thought maybe it'd redetect the proper VCORE but no, 1.56V! This thing is supposed to run like 1.26V or so. I can lower it to 1.5V but that's still too much for comfort. Flashing back to the official latest BIOS didn't help at all with any CPU (P4C, C-M 340, C-M 350).
Anyone have a simular problem with VCORE settings?
No, I didn't try that,...but I will when I figure what died and order a replacement. Just a bump in the road.Quote:
