the P4C800 cards are for me absolutely the best card ever made! its stable, and clocks like hell!Quote:

Damn thing wouldn't quite give me 17k today w/ aircooled video :D

But I got my 3GHz :D

nearly 23sec SPi 1M too.
Wow, very nice. I hope the future for these chips is bright, I wouldn't mind picking one up.
good job macci. Maybe with 3.4 or higher, u will take down the #1 spot for 2001.
that's amazing! aircooled scores Macci.
I must admit the P4C800-E was the best motherboard I ever had :woot:
Another vote for the #1 motherboard :)
Yeah, great board... I killed 2 of 'em...Quote:

awsome, macci please do some sub-zero runs, beating anyone on3dmark01 with a dothan would be insane.
go for it!!!!
p.d. my notebook has a 1.8ghz dothan i might take it out sooner than expected :)
How did you attach the alpha PAL to the X800XTPE? I have one without using here...
That theory can be tested. As soon as someone can get a Celeron - Dothan model 350j with 1mb cache up to 2.6Ghz at 200mhz fsb ( has x13 multiplier), we can compare them (vs. FX-55) clock for clock, same mem speed and both dual channel.Quote:

My old benching Asus P4C800 is now used for gaming and I was wondering how to pep it up as it only has a P4 3GHz Northwood in it, this looks like the answer.
However, what is the Kyosen VDIMM mod and why is it needed for stability ? When you say needed for stability do you mean at normal overclocks, say 2Ghz to 2.4Ghz or are you now talking up at your 2.8-3Ghz overclocking ?
Of course, for gaming I would just be running around 2Ghz+
In think I need to do some background reading, I have not looked at intel for years, I am so rusty.

kyosen mod aka connecting 3.3V rail to Vdimm directly. A fellow overclocker made a little mistake while modding the Vdimm and because of this it would give very unstable Vdimm and also totally wrong Vdimm values (2.55V from bios would be 2.95V in reality, even with the vmod disconnected) :DQuote:

Andy, for a S478 upgrade just get one of these 730 chips and set it to 200x12=2.4GHz for some great gaming performance ;) Should be very doable and given the very low heat output of these chips it will be very silent too.
Thanks for the info, with my memory I will not need any mod I don't think due to the 533 FSB speed as default, gives some headroom.Quote:

Do the 875 features have to be turned off, such as PAT ?
This takes me back to my trusty BX motherboard where I bought a 100Mhz PIII and overclocked it to the same value as the highly expensive 133Mhz FSB PIII's .. 650Mhz to 933+ MHz ..those were the days .. that was an another great chipset, the BX.
This is making my mouth water, my gaming machine has been worrying me for a while, this will give it some new legs. Thanks for bringing it up in the 3dmark forum, I never go in the Intel one ! Good luck with the 40k + macci.

Hey Macci
What kind of clock could you get aircooled with the 730 (stable)
Would you choose an other dothan with a higher multi ? 730/740/745? (price in CDN $$)

Andy,
Be sure to get the 730 and not the 1.6Ghz 725 model. That one has a 16x mult.
The latest offical ASUS P4C800 BIOS supports the adapter and Dothan chips so no tricks need to be made. The bios doesn't have any Vcore options when the adapter is used so it will use the correct voltage from the start. Basically for the 1.6GHz 730 model (stock 12x133) you would set up the BIOS as you would when useing a 2.4GHz P4 800FSB CPU ;) FSB to 200, DDR400, TURBO etc.Quote:

Most if not all Pentium M Dothans will do over 2.4GHz aircooled (some may need higher than default Vcore, but its not a problem).
it would run SuperPi 8M test at 2800MHz aircooled, but this was around +10C ambient. So for normal use I'd say 2650-2700MHz.Quote:

Depends on what your lookings for - for LN2 runs a 740 or 750 might be better as they offer 13 and 14 multipliers for some higher overall CPU speed w/ fast 1:1 RAM settings.Quote:

For aircooled rigs the 730 is optimal.
Thanks Jay and Macci, that clears it up in my mind now ( forget the PM about locked multiplier macci ).
I'll bench my 875 with latest Asus BIOS to get a benchmark tonight and then buy the parts soon.
Cheers guys, appreciated.

Andy
Good to see you busy macci, I got a new p4c800 to try again with my dothan rig.
Socket 480 is coming quickly and that has dual core and dual processor with dual core on .065nm dc ddr2 ...
Grat stuff Macci. Aircooled vga and near 40k. Amazing
:slobber:
How much vgpu have you on your x800 with aircooling?
And now I feel bad because I sold my P4C800E dlx. :slap:
awsome stuff macci i was wondering how you adjusted the vcore if the option wasnt in the bios thanks
I did the Vcore mod (50k VR between those soldering points). This allows up to 1.568V. When combined w/ VID-mod (connect VID4 pin to Vss pin = default voltage 1.568V) even higher voltage can be obtained.Quote:
