ask x86-secret guys (or anyone) to make a bios-patch for controlling EIST multipliers in bios..
oh why, oh why, dothan won't boot up like mobile p4 - using lowest mult :mad:

Thanks for stickifying, whoever did this.
Got the new adapter today after running the other one through with the soldering gun like I was a Musketeer. :dammit:
Will try to get it up and running today with the Vapo and cascade and give a report.
NEWS FLASH!!!
Mounted my Zalman 770CU with AS5 and got HUGE improvement in temp... now able to boot at 201fsb, and stable AIR clocks look to be about 2760-2810mHz....

im going to sneak over and steal you system charlie :p: how did you manage to get the 7700 to attach?Quote:

for the 7700 you simply turn the "clips", the little "L" shaped bits of metal upside down, sliding them over the main clip and it works... it is a slightly "sloppy" fit, but seems to work well.

hi there master, could you give us a pic of it? :slobber:Quote:

charlie what bios are you running on the p4c800-e deluxe ?
i am having problems with the latest 1022.003 detecting the multi it's locked at 6. After setting multi to 12 with eist some programs still show the cpu speed as if the multi was 6 and sandra benchmark gives cpu score of 5000 when it was 11k before. memory benchmark shows fsb 4x230 which is correct but ddr speed of 2x115.
I am going to use the 1021.003 bios see what that does. I could try the p4p800-e 1007 bios but the p4c800-e has intel lan and so the 3com one on the p4p800-e bios stops lan from working.

Some benchmark will revert the speed to the original speed you use when you boot (6 x whatever fsb you set in the bios) no matter what speed you set using clockgen and eist.
Sisoft sandra, everest, and pcmark 2002/2004 are those which are affected and gives very low score.
3dmark 2001, Final fantasy benchmark, aquamark and super pi are those which are not affected.
I think its related to the bios (remember, its beta bios and still buggy).
Anyway, I am actually quite happy with the beta bios, I can boot with fsb higher than 200 using pentium M 760. The voltage regulation also works very well, showing voltage ranged from 1.3 to 1.6. Those asus engineer are getting there to provide us with perfect bios (change multi and voltage). :)
GO GO GO ASUS, GIVE US THE PERFECT BIOS !!! :D

when i first had this m730 i was running at 12x233 2800 no problem on air now with air or water it just wont go above 2760. 12x230 2760 is solid not a single problem i tested my ram upto 257 with a p4 on the same mobo too so that shouldnt limit me.
I did break a pin of the base of the ct-479 lucky for me it's one on the outer edge and i can put some wire much like a u-wire mode into the socket and it works ok without the wire and it wont post but that should not limit my OC.
as sandra ect are synthetic benchmarks it does not matter that much as long as the system perferms as expected.

Its already added to the frontpage :)Quote:

nice results charlie heres mine :D
super pi 1m on a untweaked os - non patched
will be goin for 24secs over the weekend soon as i vdimm mod my mobo and use 1:1 on the ram
ive been quad priming at 12x235 = 2820 speed also for over 12 hours now :woot:
cpu = dothan 730 2mb 533fsb
mobo = asus p4p800-e vdroop modded
ram = 4x512mb twinmoss bh5 @ 2-2-2-5 2.85v

It should be possible. When i used my Pentium M 730 in the unsupported P4S800-MX it booted with 6x MP. To bad it refused to boot Windows, but Linux worked just fine. :)Quote:

************************************************** ***********************************************
Can anyone guide me thru an Asus P4C800-E with a Dothan 725? I got this today and flashed it to the beta BIOS 1022.003.
It WILL NOT boot without saying NEW CPU INSTALLED press F1 for SETUP or F2 to continue (loads defaults), If I change the setting for halt on errors (F1) it will boot and just load windows with the defaults again.
I can change the multiplier in BIOS and it will keep that 6x 10x whatever, but FSB, dividers, etc it sets to defaults on each boot stating the NEW CPU message as above!!! (it did this on a P4 prior to flashing the BIOS as well) So I'm stuck in this loop, So,......Is this mobos fuxxored or is there a simple fix?
************************************************** ***********************************************
New adapter with all the pins means the mobo keeps BIOS settings because it can see it's the same CPU as the last time it booted now :)
HOWEVER, There does seem to be "issues" with this BIOS as as I cannot go over 160FSB or it won't boot, or will lock in Windows (if set there) with this Dothan. This is a 2.4Ghz @ default volts CPU on the P4P800SE, but on this P4C800-E it won't 166FSB at any speed (6 x 166 etc) this is 1:1 ratio on the mem : FSB.
I just swapped to a 1.3 Banias and it does 2.4Ghz 13 x 185FSB no problems whatsoever, so I'm gonna stick with that I think for now.
Suggestions on the FSB issue on the Dothan on this mobo? Changing to another CT-479 adapter made no difference.
Cheers,
MM
The 400FSB Dothan (e.g. all 7x5 ones) are know to hit a ceiling at ~160FSB.Quote:

I can confirm the latest beta for the P4C800E does have full multi support with the 400fsb cpu's...so try this, adjust the fsb jumpers to 400 on the CT479 and see if this allows you to adjust the multi for the 533 fsb models.
my banis hits a wall at 2 gig no matter which fsb combo i use
To quote myself I actually tried this as i have both CPU types, with the older 400 core the bios has full multi controll but the FSB is limited, with the 533 models the Multi is not there so we are back waiting.Quote:

Didn't do squat. The 1022 BIOS makes it boot up at 6x, and changing the jumpers for a 400MHz didn't change anything. I'm typing this up folding at 217MHz fsb, so that looks ok as well.Quote:
