"Dothan" is the B1 stepping 400fsb part. Sonoma is the revised C0 stepping 533fsb part. Dothan won't OC past 165 fsb.... Sonoma will go 100mHz higher than that on the fsb.

How to tell the stepping off of the chip?
in CPU-Z it tells you...
Here's my B1 chip!
http://xtremesystems.org/forums/atta...chmentid=31397
I have P4P800-X and I think to buy Celeron-M,but this mobo is not supported.
Can I use bios from another mobo ?
than all fsb533 cpus are sonoma???
Sonoma is the platform that supports 533FSB, Carmel only supports 400FSB. 7x0/C0 stepping are the ones to get.
My Dothan hits 267 Charlie. I know I'm nitpicking. ;)
well, every 730/740/750/760 is a C1 right?
Yes ;)
well, i was warried my 740 was a B1 :D
and guys, i have ordered a boxed one, because is the only one i found...what the hell is the boxed coler in this pakage?
there is NO boxed cooler :DQuote:

It looks like I misunderstood Charlie's message that I quoted. I thought he said his is a Sonoma (C0), but it is a Dothan (B1). I am 99% sure (who on eBay can you really trust?) mine is a C0, but I won't find out until tomorrow or Tuesday when it comes in the mail.Quote:

Is it C1 or C0? :D
Are all ES chips B1?
This is my chip here
Need to get another adapter, bent pins on the one I recieved.
Yes I know I can straighten them. I'd rather not risk a processor that I spent an entire paycheck on, with it. :D Plus the whole RMA process takes too long and is a bit of a hassle. Quicker to order a new one.
Need a power supply and some better ram. That Value Select stuff won't do.
B1s are 400mhz FSB and C0s are 533mhz FSB. Click here to see.Quote:

My 730ES is an exception, it is a B1 chip with 533fsb operation enabled on-die... but it's still a B1 die, and OC's like one :rolleyes:
It was made just for testing and validation on early and pre-production 533fsb chipsets.

what would be an A2??
Please, where is the glue? This thread needs to be stickyfied!
So what is the sSpec for that chip? This way people can stay away from it! ;)Quote:

It overclocks ok anyways, 2700MHz on air apparently to the pervious owner iirc.
Just need a board for it. CT-479 coming in a few days :D
yeah, 1.6ghz 400fsb chip (16 x 100) will do 16 x 150 easy... like 2400mHz... and with 1.5v, should do 160-165....for 2600-2700mHz.

The 725 is a 400MHz FSB, thus not a Sonoma...Quote:

I've done everything I can think of and read 4 forums for help, but it still isn't working. I know everything but the P4C works properly, but it could be a proprietary CPU on HPs behalf. I think the next step is to RMA the P4C.Quote:

You know the u-wire mod in the CT-479 socket, what voltage does that set the vcore at?
Waiting for my P4P800 SE to arrive, should be here friday :D
You can get up to somewhere around 1.72v via the pin mods IIRC. I think the highest you can get with a single u-wire is 1.6v.
FYI everyone... you can set the VID4 wire mod to get 1.55v and then you can use EIST in windows to lower Vcore, set to like 1.22v it gives real voltage of 1.44v. Something to keep in mind for when "not" benching...
C
guys i have just bought my new bench rig. P4c800-e deluxe , Dothan 750 (1,86) and of course the adapter.But i am having a problem. I cant change the multi. By default it is 6. I tryed from eist, systool but nothing. I cant find the option in bios either. I flashed two times my mobo from asus update proggram. i download the bios from asus site.
What do u suggest?
I'd like to hear more about this, details, pics, proof of concept. :confused: :confused:

Take VID4, VID2, VID1 and VID0 ALL to VSS and it should give 1.70-1.71v

Im a little busy with exams and stuff right now, but rest asured I'll do some heavy updating on this thread the upcoming weekend.
Nice info charlie!
charlie take a look at my post... do u suggest anythin?
Try Flashing with AFUDOS and use /NC /PBNC switches.
Ive had the same problem with two or three p4cs too. BIOS flash fixed it in every case.
thanks for the quick reply bro :)
And THEN use EIST to lower teh Vcore in windows... if neccessaryQuote:

Box cooling,default vcore for a start...
Also, taking your running a 740? Is that the max FSB you can hit?
<edit> Didnt see the Mem FSB, NVM </edit>
As he said, its initial testing with stock vcore and heatsink.Quote:

the option is in the same area with cpu speed. set to manual, with my 730@200fsb the mem options are 266,320,400,500,533. it should show up the same if you hit that speed in bios. but if you set it in bios @133 the the only options its seems are 266,333.Quote:

it shows only 266,333. I cant run at 200fsb cause i cant change the multi.
@sharp bro i run it again and it shows 29,325 @ 2428

With the wire mod (1.55v) you can't boot up at 14 x 200??Quote:

Hey guys,
What would be the best mobo for the CT-479? Goals is to being able to change vcore, vdimm to 2,8 is enough, and fsb of course, also agp/pci lock.
I would like the mobo being able to reach 250 fsb. Wich mobo and bios would be the best for my demands?
Thanks
Highest reachable vcore from bios on non-modded board, is with the P4P800 SE bios 1009. It gives you ->1.6vore from bios.
The 1.55vcore uwire mod is rather easy though.
For pure performance my guess is the P4C800, for easy 24/7 air use my guess is the P4P800 SE.
Haven't got mine yet though (RMA) :)
Doesn't have dual channel, so that's no option.
I'm looking at the normal P4P800 with the bios from the E version, that will give me vcore adjust etc. But in the first post it says that it has difficulties getting above 170...this true?
what do you mean doesnt have dual channel. both P4C800 and P4P800-se have dual channel. Make sure you looking up the right boards.Quote:

Anyone care to explain ? What is CPC ? Where is the tweaker ? My dothan can only boot at 173 MHZ, any way to lock the agp/pci ? Using clockgen, the maximum fsb is 194 no matter which multi I use (even 6x) so I suspect the agp/pci does NOT lock.
Any help will be appreciated !
Thanks :)
May be is gonna be nice , if you tell us what MoBo you have , which model Dothan you have , nobody here is fortune-teller...Quote:

May have been a mistake to get 760, with 15 multi... you need to boot at 201fsb to lock the agp/pci and you can use software once in windows to enable performance memory mode, change multipliers, change fsb and adjust memory timing.Quote:

Works absolutly stable. V-Core on CPU-Z is not korrekt, Speedfan shows real V-Core.
nice ,, :d
@TigersClaw
That's very nice, I am also planning to use P4GD1+ct479+PM740. I just hope the processor will boot with 200fsb to windows. Once in windows it should be possible to lower the multi with EIST if things are not stable.
Is it possible to adjust fan speeds with the Speedfan on the P4GD1?
(warning: I am from Finland so there could be some typos...)
No, Speedfan can not adjust fan speeds on P4GD1.Quote:

HA, the -65C should do it. Let me know how the air goes. I should have a pelt up and running on it in few days to help me out ;)Quote:

Then went ahead and pin modded for 1.706 to see what that'd do. Again, a flat 1.55v. It seems like the mobo is stopping the startup voltage short at 1.55v for some odd reason, even though the VID is set for 1.6v and beyond... :shrug:
Does the P4C800-E Deluxe have any trouble with vcore or vdimm? Someone I know can perform a mod for me if it would be nescesary.
What would this board need to perform good?
All you guys with satisfactorily running Dothan rigs, could you post some details on your rigs along with descriptions of your setup procedure?
Would be the bomb! :D
Board? (mods / no mods?)
Bios? (flash method)
CPU?
Bios boot settings?
Windows overclocking actions?
Tools used?
Please add results as well - 1M and 3d01...
Then I'll start condensing actual OC results, to give people a better idea of what setups to go for. Would be nice with a more uniform impression of the average Dothan Powah! :)
P4C800-E Deluxe BIOS 1021
Dothan 730 C0 Sonoma
217x12 BIOS boot, max aggressive timings
CPUMSR used to reduce multiplier, Clockgen used to increase FSB
End result 2680-2740MHz(11x243-249)
VCore 1.55v, VDimm 3.3v

I dunno how it'll respond to higher vcores than 1.55v, but like I said earlier, the board won't allow it with simply pin mods. If you want to try more, you'd have to vcore mod. Probably would help on phase change or above. VDimm mod is a must if you're using BH5/UTT (best choice for this platform). Even below 230 2.85v doesn't cut it for the max aggressive timings.Quote:

Pentium M 730, Dothan C0
229x12 in BIOS while booting, PCI-E @ 225MHz
EIST to reduce multiplier, ClockGen to increase FSB

Using Prometeia Mach II R404a
Benchable up to 3100MHz 1,75-1,8V (11x282 3-2-2-4 3,7V with OCZ EB, 12x258 2-2-2-4 3,7V with BH-5, PCI-E @ 235MHz, chipset voltage 2,0V)
Super PI
3DMark 2001, X800 XT clocked a bit
P4GD1, BIOS 1005
Celeron M 350, Dothan B1
175x13 is maximum regardless of VCORE, managed 180x13 in the unsupported Asus P4S800-MX
It seems like voltage is the key here. I'd better get down to doing the vcore mod then. Wouldn't have expected 90nm mobile procs to need 1.7v on air to shine.
All results in this thread added.
