I do not know that, really....
If the multiplier is adjusted after the fsb:
a.) That would not be difficult to fix.
b.) I won't be able to post past 195Mhz FSB (2.758 limit 14x stock multi).
However,
perhaps you are right, but it's always the 12x multi. 'cause I can't always post at 228MHz or higher, yet below that is fine.
228*12=2736
Very close to my chip's max - and usually a lil harder to boot then 1M-PI anyways.
But who could fix that? :O Im just mad for this P4C800-E Deluxe cause it won't accept any memories to go full speed! That's just not nice... Im quite sure that my PQI 2gb set has potential to go much better but not with this mobo. :(
yes, i would like a BIOS wher that would be fixed :) ASUS, do you hear us? :D
Im quite sure they don't actually care! :D
I have a P4C800-ED with a PM740 that boots at 260ish MHZ FSB @ 10 Multi @ 1.6vcore (bios). Stock heatsink.
It works fine if you know what you're doing. I found the main problems with high FSB on this MB is related to two things:
a) transition from cold boot low vcore (something like default 1.3 volts) to set vcore of 1.x but after the multi has been applied which limits your max cpu boot speed
b) ram timings are set fairly agressive depending on your FSB:RAM ratio and SPD readings.
I have cheap DDR400 value ram @ 2.5-3-3-8. Very little headroom for OC. Maybe DDR420 max at those settings. If I drop the FSB:RAM ratio, and get DDR333, the times tighten up automatically in the BIOS and limits my max FSB in windows.
Loosen your ram timings in the BIOS -> 3-3-3-8, then see if you can boot higher.
You can then test your max FSB vs Timing in windows with EIST and TW865. I now boot at 220 FSB x 10 multi and crank my FSB to 280+! Now if I can have RAM to match it 1:1 then I'll be set.
Current Max stable core is 2820 MHZ. Just got a Zalman Alcu 7700 and will see if I can get it to 2900 on air 3d stable.
Well i have tryed everything but it just won't boot over 225FSB. Sometimes it might boot at 226, but not always. It really seems to be that it first set FSB and then Multi. An it actually makes sence. 12*225=2700 and this will go about 2600 for little benchmarking. Maybe i could wait picture in post at 2700MHz.
For me better cooling didn't give any better clocks. Its just colder now. But 2800 it's cool with aircoolin still! Im waiting pretested 740 going 2600MHz with stock voltages. Hoping that will reach 2800MHz! ;)
But this motherboard multiplier/FSB problem is from deep... Im just wondering is there any point to buy P4GPL-X. It's cheaper than this mobo, so i wouldn't even lose money.
mine won't boot above 235fsb :( , and it certainly isn't nice booting above 230! errors, crashes etc etc.Quote:

my mates wouldnt boot above 235 just like mine but boots @ 249 with 400fsb jumpers.
I've tried it myself, but when i press the on button, it starts up, then shuts down after about a second :(
hopefully, if i get a p4gd1 from saaya, i'll be able to boot higher...
ln²is fun!!!

nice scores there mayk-freak.
I might be getting a p4p800se if i can't find a new p4c800-e dlx.
ever tried running 4:5 divider on ram? any performance increases?
is there a way to enable PAT over 200 fsb?
Cheers
Well guys, been reading some posts in this thread, I don't have time to read all 89 pages x) But im thinking of buying a dothan P4C800-E Deluxe and the adapter. Is there anything special I should think of? Will be running with x850xt and 2x BH-5 and a DDR booster. My biggest issue is the money.
735 : 247$ US
740 : 251$
745: 293$
750: 297$
Dont want to spend anymore then 297$ on the CPU, and I know its impossible to tell how good / bad a CPU clocks as its from CPU to CPU. But are there any of these who are particulary good in OC? Anyone of them that are known as good / bad overclockers? I cant stand a bad OC anymore :stick:
the 740/750 is always gonna be best.
I paid the extra for my 750, but i got it cheap OEM on ebay.
it does 2.7 benchable, but who knows how well the 740 i could have got would have clocked..
PAT will not enable fully over 200FSB on boot. You can boot at 199MHz with DDR266 (1:1) to get PAT enabled and locks enabled so you can clock upwards.Quote:

Yeah, but at 200 you get no locks. So 199 and up with CG.Quote:

I've got the same problem...I got 2x512mb sticks of shiny Geil One BH, and with the DDR booster regardless of voltage it is not stable at 228, and won't do crap over 230 :brick: Lol, my 730 is so wierd, as its favorite settings are 250x10 with a 4:3 devider...kind of an oximoron :p:Quote:

Vitality and Lrrywild:
Drop your Multis to 10x and see if you can boot @ a higher FSB.
I just mounted the Zalman AlCu 7700 and had to fiddle with it for over 30 mins to get a good contact with and without the stock dothan shim off the heatsink. No shim now... still testing.
Set Vcore to 1.6 volts, CPUZ READS 1.520, VAGP to 1.8, VRAM to 1.5 (crap ram)
FSB 245, Multi to 12x = 2920 MHZ all on AIR!
Its not 3D stable yet , SPmod 1M crashes out, but better than my last full cold boot at 2820 MHZ. I think I can squeeze a higher windows SS soon.
RAM = 3-3-3-8-4 AAA , RAM DIVIDER @ 266 MHZ so real ram speed is 180 ish.
Will play with the system more tomorrow, install droop mod and see.
wow.. I hadn't thought of that one mate :eh:Quote:

Have to try that... What about that adapter jumpers? Some effect really? :O Have to try everything... :)
Whoa, some nice clocks there :D Too bad nobody puts 730/740 under ln2, just the 780's usually. Luckily, I might soon change that situation :rolleyes: :DQuote:

This is with Bios 1009 (final).
It's not fully enabled. Boot at 201 and boot at 200 and you'll find 200 way faster regardless if PAT is enabled on both. (I know - I used PAT right up to 300FSB)Quote:

In P4P800 it's that PAT what makes it faster when FSB:DRAM 1:1 cause it doesn't work if not in sync, and isn't it just locks what would work only over 201?
anyone has P4P800se bios 1009.04? I just got my board from rma and it noway clocks as good with newer bios. Could also be that my adapter got screwd up.........
probably just the board isn't as good.. :(Quote:

Stranger still is that priming at 200*12 isnt a problem, i just checked, and its going strong for the past 1 hour and 30 minutes. i haven made any changes except for installing new videocard drivers and the starforce update tool to make gt legends run.
Does anyone have an idea whats going on and how i can solve it?
Looks like that problem is in your graphic card. Check it's fan and try to underclock it. Or try with older drivers? What card u have?
i have the asus v9999ge, thats a 6800nu with the memory and clocks of a gt.
i tried with the card back at stock settings (for benches its oced to 445/1260), and the artifacts stay. With the dothan at stock speed, i get no artifacts, both at stock and at 445/1260. I will try with 81.95 drivers tomorrow or this evening if i get back at a decent hour.
Now im using 82.02 drivers if anyone wants to know.
Have u enabled AGP/PCI lock in bios?
definitely set the locks to 66/33 or 72/36. maybe up vagp. artifacts are definitlely not a cpu problem, if you don't beleive me, boot at whatever you've been using that you know artifacts. then use eist to drop the mulitplier, and test for artifacts again. they should remain.
also, is your power supply really crappy? dothans dont pull much power, so oc'd and stock are only about 20w difference, but on a really low end power supply, 20w might make it droop or fluctuate too much. stick a multimeter to it
i set the locks at 66/33, vagp at 1.8 My psu is a levicom 500W, voltages seem ok, only the 3.3v is a little on the low side, but i dont know how this would become a problem now after working fine for a few months.
i already tried lowering the multi with cpumsr, and the artifacts dont seem to change.
could it be that the graphics drivers mess with the locks or the cards tolerance for higher agp clocks??
what is your fsb? on changing from a 9800xt to a 6800gt i got the same artifacts.
with the 9800xt i could run fsbs >280 no fuss.. with the 6800gt and pat enabled
i could only go to about 180.. everything over that with pat enabled got me artifacts
now i changed some timings and can now do fsb 311, mem at ~250 (5:4) with the
6800gt.. also.. it's no issue of the powersupply. i had that problem with a fortron
300w, a lc 550w and later on with the ocz powerstream 520w (that i'm still using)
- with no artifacts now. you need to slacken the timings of the nb..
sidenote.. if i want to bench anything 3d >~305 fsb i have to lock agp at 72/36,
vagp @1.8v
this was with a pm760 @ 2.6 to 2.8g on a p4p800-se
anyway... i could narrow the issue down on the fsb, since i could run 15x166 and
not get artifacts, or i could run 200x10 and would get artifacts - same voltages
and a lower overall clock, but higher fsb... so i went to work with clockgen, from
the bottom up to see at what point i would get artifacts.. in my case it was around
180... no matter what everything else was set at.
/ed
i could also elimnate the card - even underclocked it, because initially i was
thinking the power supply was lacking.. didn't matter, the card would do
way more than stock without showing artifacts in another rig, with all parts
the same but the mainboard...
it's the nb-strapping, pat & and timings :) - took me some time to figure it
out
prime plus 3d benchamrking program in loop - maybe your case is not well vented....
check for dust also!
i start getting occasional artifacts even at 133 fsb, also i just noticed that when i play music, it plays for a second or so, and then just stops.
i just flashed the board with the latest p4p800-e bios (1010.001 beta) and the exact same thing happens.
could it be that my board is :banana: :banana: :banana: :banana: ed?
-edit- i just started prime torture test and rthdribl to test like bcn asked, cpu at stock (13*133), going without problems so far.im going to report back in an hour or so.
Chipset is probably overheating. If vAgp is greater than stock [1.5V] then set it to stock [1.5V]. If that doesn't help, then removing the chipset heatsinking and using some decent thermal interface.Quote:

You're welcome. Had the exact same problem. Was only in DirectX 7/8, not in 9 so I figured it would be the chipset ('cause 9 is pretty much all vid).Quote:

Guys whats a respectible OC for a 770 on air using the P4GD1. I can't get past 182MHz FSB (2.92GHz) but from what I've seen these cpus can achieve upwards of 3GHz "easily" have I just got a pap cpu or is it the board thats more likely at fault?
PS vcore is @1.6v !!!!!
2.92 is still quite respectable.
cheers wwwww, once I've done some testing I'll fire it into ur database :up: Was hoping for th big 3.0 but guess I'l have to wait for a very cold day to come round, or water coolin' :D
Hi guys. My friend have a combo Celer 1,4 Ghz + P4P800-VM.
Max stable oc is 2100- 150 fsb.
I tryed another cpu 1,4 GHz Celeron only different code.
The same results is 2100 mhz.
I think 2100 mhz is verry low to oc this cpu.
Its possible bad mb for oc ?
you're maxing the fsb of the chips. the celeron ms can't seem to get above 170 without a lot of work.
150fsb though.. . thats odd. try upping the vcore
What kind of results are being getting on 730/740/750 on extreme cooling
Itching to go for some Mach 2/Dice fun but can't afford any of the higher range chips
This is a little low for Celeron M, but it depends on stepping.. C0 versions are better than B1's (usually).Quote:
Originally Posted by ex.treme
As ex.treme says.. it is difficult to get past FSB170.. some have reached beyond 180 though with good cooling (not air I think).
My 2 Celeron M's hits FSB166 (M350) and FSB170(M360).. that is 2.16 and 2.4 (stock air cooling).
Neither of them will respond to increased VCore...
Your friends P4P800-VM has no option for increasing VCore in Bios (I have the same board in one of my Celeron M rigs).
sorry, i dont got time to read entire thread...
but the problem is:
i got my PM 780 yesterday and the oc is quite nice.
2900mhz with freezer 4 + TT Volcano 12 fan @ min rpm and 1,51v
it was pi stable @ 2980mhz too.
but the problem is that when i oc with clockgen the pci and pcie clocks goes
to sky.
i boot with 133mhz fsb and start rising fsb..
i lowered the multiplier to 12 and hit 242mhz fsb.
but then pci freq was over 60mhz and pcie over 180mhz :D
it was pi and 3d stable but it didnt find PS2 ports and only
thing that worked was usb mouse :p:
so how can i overcome that sky high pci/pcie freq?
it was easy with pm 740 cos then i booted @ 200mhz fsb..
but i cant boot pm 780 @ 17x200=3400mhz and i cant chage multiplier either..
any ideas?
also sorry about my bad english :(

:D how can i boot @ 200mhz? :eek:
then its 3400mhz, or mobo lowers multiplier automatically? :confused:
anyways, little testing wiht my aircooled system:

bench voltage was 1,62v for cpu
max superpi 1m:

crappy time because of 187mhz mem and that was just cpu testing
max 3dmark:

http://service.futuremark.com/compare?2k1=8803479
just testing, again 187mhz mem phucks things up :p:
damn that i dont have my GTO2 yet..
max screen was 3300mhz with same voltage(1.62v)
but i didnt do it becaus i tried 3350mhz and it freezed during "save"

Secondly:
If you follow the links/read this thread (search for P4GD1) you will find that you have to set the PCI-E freq to FSB/2.2 to be able to use Clockgen over a certain FSB > 200. For 250 you will need 115 (or that about).

dont get me wrong, i did oc my PM740 exactly same way as u wrote and it had no problems. but if i boot 780 with 133 or 166mhz fsb speed then pcie/pci freaq is normal but when i rise fsb with cg then it goes to sky high.
i i know that cg lies about clocks but that it dont recognize PS2 ports isnt normal. and it makes me belive that pcie/pci freaq is higher than dothan 740.
cos 740 never did that :rolleyes:
How can say that you already know this.. and keep posting an answer indicating that you do not know this? :confused:Quote:

If you boot at 133 and use ClockGen (and eist) to get way past 200 this may bee the problem (have not tested it on my P4GPL-X). Still ClockGen reports "insane" values for PCI-bus when I tested max. FSB with one of Celeron-M (over 50) which would render most of PCI-based HW (as sound) useless(and perhaphs damaged). CG just reports PCI as (FSB-OC/FSB-std*33) as I understand it..

but the cooler would go without adapter mod also..
winterwind, so no modification necessary with AC? if not, i'll be plannign to get one. Do you have IHS on the core too?
razor_sniper, increase multi, turn-on PAT, lower the timing (if the ram can handle to cl2-2-2-5) to increase SPi ;)

I just got today two 740. Both will boot over 2600 with stock voltages, and first will even work fine at that speed. Best what i got Superpi 1M was 2915MHz with air. Only memories are not so good. Not tight latencies, now its 2.5-3-3-5. Wish those could be 2-2-2-5! ;) But still im pretty happy with these. That another i will sell away... Is there someone going better with stock voltages (CPUZ says 1.312v when running, and 1.344 when idle) 8M Pi, than this? I got it just 2650MHz! ;) Not bad i think. :banana:
what do you mean by that other one, the one that you have in your sig, or the one that will boot at 2600, but wont work fine?
I have now two 740's and one 730. So that another 740 and my sig 730 im going to sell.
I have a request for you guys.... I'm thinking about building a Dothan setup pretty soon and I was wondering if yall could look at this system I'm thinking of piecing together and maybe make some comments about things I could change or improve on.

i recommend a used cpu, they are much cheaper. if you want me to find one for you, just pm me and i'll help you look around
>MOBO: Asus P4P800-E Deluxe - $118
i'd personally go for the p4p800se

For thsi price, you might as well get two of these:

250mhz with cl3 (maybe cl2.5) shouldnt be hard for them, even on the voltage-limited asus boards. i just bought one of them and will post resuslts from my dad's ultra-d based a64 setup.

The agp aiw x800pro cards can be unlocked to 16 pipes :). i'd recommend one of those.
>Cooling: Arctic Cooling Freezer 4 - $28
I recommend the 7000alcu, its very easy to install and is quiet

That's an awesome price for that ram though... that would allow me to get 2 gigs. The timings aren't as good, but I'd rather have capacity than timings.
I looked around, but I can't find any X800Pro AIW's.... from what I can tell, there's only the X600Pro, the X800XL, and the X800XT that have one in my price range. On newegg, the X800XL AIW and the X800XT AIW are the same price, so what would you guys recommend? I haven't done a whole lot of research on the X800XL's.
Thanks for the comments :)
take XTs rather than XL
definitely the xt over the xl in that case. you can pm me anytime if you have questions about which hardware to get, i keep up on that sort of thing way too much :p:Quote:

Anyhow after a bit of elbow grease, an OEM 770 and some love I produced this :-

I'm quite happy with that but still think it could do better, it's only on air and the rooms pretty warm what with the winter heating on!!!
What say yee?
nice clocks for a 770.
whats max. fsb without mods?
750+p4gpl-x i can run 260fsb prime and 268fsb for spi 1m =)

i need to get my ram running faster, its crazy im still only on the 1.4vcore and can do 2.7 :)
Im using systool to try and change my multi but it will lockup after a couple of seconds after using it, what other programs will change the multi on this mobo?
