Nice score, try windows 2k and SP4, should give a little boost.
Got 1 9800 run in with TCCD, needs re-running with a clean install, maybe windows 2k, some older drivers etc...

Not bad for an all air run though, these Dothans pwn!
Nice.Quote:

In fact, you are correct Intel seems to prefer XP over 2k, though sure someone mentioned 2k might be good for ~ 100 points more. If you run a fullly tweaked XP, boot in diag mode, run a services killer etc, sure its as good tbh.
Yea the older cats seem to do a little better 01 wise, ran those as they were on from a 9500NP @ pro softmodded bench, just wanted to get a rough idea of what the card could do..
What do you consider to be "a fully tweaked XP"? Apart from the things you already mentioned?Quote:

Last question here, that mulit option looks awsome, but can you go higher? Is say a 730 capped at 12 multi and lower, or could you do say, 13 / 14 (worried about 1:1 ram as mine maxes at 250 atm). ahhh look at me, I am worried about all this and I dont even have the cpu yet :p: Dothan madness I say. Its like an A64 in Intels best chipset (875) :slobber:
Nope, as with the A64's the chips are unlocked down only, so no 12+ options on the 730.
Check how bad the vdroop is on your board, some chips dont like over ~ 1.55v so running 1.6 should put you about that.
N-lite the install, remove everything thats not needed. Kill services, high priority, ricky tweak. Thats about all off the top of my head, others will know of more for sure. Running order can make a difference as well, DL, LL, CH, DH, LH, N and re-run CL seems to work best. Everyone has their own favoured order though :)Quote:

I'm running on stock air with the AS5 thermal paste. I'm using Corsair TWINX1024-3200C2 1GB kit with OZ booster. My power supply is COOLMAX CR-450B 450W
My settings are 11 X 225 Mhz. My RAM setting is 2-2-2-6 at 1:1 mem divider. I'm using the latest 1009 beta 003 bios. My VCore is set at 1.6V in bios and OZ booster is set to 3.3 V. AGP locked at 66 and stock 1.5V
My temperature at idle is around 45C and running Prime95 its goes up to 65C. Is my temperature too high?
I try lowering my RAM settings but that didn't help. Can someone help me?
Temps are a little on the high side, will it run 2.4 at any lower voltage than that?
Would be worth getting some better cooling on there if you cant drop the volts tbh, see Charlies thread below for more info on that.
It could be that the cpu is just maxing, the 533's seem to do this as the 400's do with FSB.
Dropping temps should allow you to OC a little further though (unless the cpu IS maxed) 1.6v is a LOT for *only* 2.4ghz though.
I can use lower voltage to run at 2.4 but I'm trying to get to about 2.7-2.8 on air.
I have the Zalman 7700cm that I haven't installed yet. I'm waiting for Charlie to post some pics on mounting P4 cooler onto CT-479.
I'll try lowering my voltage and see if i can get higher clock.
Is it better if I go to 12 mulipler or stay at 11. The reason i went to 11 was to get better FSB since I can't seem to pass 2.5Ghz
If you cant pass 2.5, with the higher multi and those volts, then chances are the cpu might be maxed. Better cooling might well help you out, but dont be surprised if it doesnt. This 730 is maxed at 2.57ghz stable, tho burning in does seem to be helping a little, can pass pi at 2.61ghz now, where 2.57 was the max possible before.
Shouldn't the 750 be better at OCing than the 730?
What is your CPU temperature?
Its all luck of the draw. Just because a CPU has a higher stock, doesnt mean it will clock further.. Look at the 3000 venices for example, most hit 2.6ghz, with the good ones hitting 3+.
CPU temp is 49 deg, thats after 3 hours of prime, with cpu fan at 80% on the stock cooler with 1.35vcore (201*12)
I too seem to be hitting a brick wall at 2.5ghz :(
http://www.turbanator.nildram.co.uk/dothan/28s.JPG
Does 2.5ghz ON STOCK VOLTS! But trying to up past this to 2.6 etc, taking the volts upto as high as 5.75 just freezes the computer :(
My memory isn't the one maxing out cause I can drop the multi down to 10 and do 250mhz... so it's the chip which won't do a higher clock speed.
Oh well, it is the first day of me having setup this rig, my memory isn't burnt in and hell, the systems only just been setup to be honest. I'll continue to tinker :D
I haven't really play around with the voltage after installing the new bios.
I'll try lowering the voltage to lower the temperature. I'll set the multiplier at 12 and see how high I can go.
okay... time for some more indepth testing *installs the 3dmarks* >:E
ps: 3 in the morning here... got work at 9... de dums... :p
pps: what's really annoying is that I set myself a goal of a sub-27s superpi... unless I figure something clever out with this gear, doesn't look like I'lll hit it :( Might be able to achieve it by lowering the multi and upping the fsb to increase system bandwidth... depends how far off 27 i actually am in that last 1s.
results: 2001 => 28,656
2003 => 13,792
2005 => 5597
had to boost my vcore from default to complete a run of 2005...
I'm new to the forum, I only want to tell everyone thanks for useful infos.
Mostly the new beta bios for the PC800-E that allowed me to make futher experiments without U wiring.
I already had a sony Vaio fs115S (FS550 in USA) where I obtained:
Dothan 1.7 with fsb forced to 533 = 2266mhz rock stale at stock voltage, mybe a little hot on heavy load but undervolted better.
So I suddenly bought a PC800-E and the CT-479 to make a silent server for my home as I had the old notebook's 1733 Dothan.
At first tryes, not bette than 2400 mhz, because of wrong multipiers in MB.
But, with the new bios
a wopping 2612 mhz (201x13) at first try and at 1,41v, max temp under load 52c with stock asus heatsink.
Now all night long running ok.
I think Intel has some surprises on dothan architecture, because it's too easy to overclock that it's retained underpowered I think.
Again thanks to All

new bios? which one??

Anything above that, it'll put out a pi run or 2 but thats about it.
Primed overnight (still running now fingers crossed) 2.4ghz (201*12) on 1.35v set in bios + vdroop. Windows is reading 1.31, is there a read point for vcore anywhere to check what the actual voltage is?
New bios, check back in the main intel thread ;) One for P4P and one for P4C

i have a really bad problem with my daily use HD, if i open asus update utility, task manager or if i tri to linch regedit or msconfig the program start but disappear in 2 seonds...i am disperated, i have run 1000000 antivirus, done a so repair but nothing to do :(
ideas/place to ask for infos???
Is it a seagate? IF it is go to their website and download seatools, then run the repair one. It solved my problems with my HDD.
no, but i said HD to say daily use OS, win xp with games internet ecc ecc...i think end /OT, i will search... thx the same a lot!
