Sorry, bro. No post. vdimm and vagp are fine, but I get no reading on the mosfets around the CPU area.:( Sorry, I really wanted this to work out, but it didn't. I'll be sending your stuff back tomorrow.:( Send me a PM with your address, please.
What do you think killed it malves?
Damn this turned out to be FUBAR.... :(
Sorry to hear dude.
I have no idea, bro. But I'm sure someone will blame shipping. :bs: It happened before, why would it be different now?Quote:

Boy that sucks big rhino balls. That was an almost 300 dollar board after mods and such. I paid good money for the board and What turns out ot be allot more in mods as that is what killed it. I don't think anyone can blame shipping, Malves you saw I sent it pretty well packed, well it was packed twice that good last time it went out(For 6 months). Guess I have to ask that there may have been a reason it was gone for 6 months. I know Hell-fire is long gone around here and hasn't replied back to me since I got board back from him. I'm sure hes around under some other name so Hell-Fire just like to say, Thanks allot, I have a quote that youll pay 1/2 of any damages to board if you happen to have a problem, well I'll be waiting to here from ya man.
I got to thank Malves for his quick and courteous help with this. This sucks bad but I appreciate him doing this and would like to say that as long as I get my stuff back this week(J/K LOL). I will be telling anyone who needs help to go there first.
Now the big question is as theres been about 2 steps of upgrades to the Processor and Motherboard Evolution. Do I just buy a new P4c-800E and use my processor i have, or do I step up to PCI-Express as I was just about to purchase new vid card anyway so i can furureproof myself a little more with PCI-Express and have a card I can do SLI with in futrue also. Hmmm.
Whats the choices of AMD 64 Dual slot PCI-Express boards, and can i use my OCZ pc3700EB?
Whats the best AMD64 for a price/performance for overclocking?
Thanks again Malves, wish it was better news, but I really appreciate your help.
That sucks about your board but great to see good people such as malves and cat willing to help people out so quickly.
Yeah..i dont think either one of us have a problem doing probono work such as this for bad :banana::banana::banana::banana: happening to good ppl :)

I talked to Malves and he is not sure if its the CPU or board(Need to find a good P4 to check it). If you guys were gonna recommend a board I can use my OCZ PC3700EB with that does SLI, What would you recommend? Also what is the best AMD 64 out there right now for overclocking?
Its the board....trust me :) For A64 i would wait for venice since all thats out right now is the 05 and those are crap. for LGA.. i would say Asus P5P800 or Abit AS8 (both vmodded of course) and an Intel 640

Well if its the board, I will just order a new board then, Thanks Cat. Is the P4c800-E still the king of the Socket 478 boards?
Is it?Quote:

There is hope yet!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I so hope Malves can bring the board back from the dead for you sierra ....
Malves, u need to solder on the board not the CPU right? If thats so go ahead, don't solder my CPU though please. Thanks
hey, ive sent out my board to hell-fire a while ago too and he is not returning any of my pms now. strangely he was very prompt in replies prior to me sending the money. anyway, does anyone have another method of contact to get in touch with him, say a telephone # you can pm me? i didnt bother asking for one earlier b/c i was not expecting any problems, but now i just want to call him and see whats up. i don't want to wait 6 months to get this board back, and then only to find out that maybe it doesnt even work. thanks.
aparantly the Abit AS8 with a 2 meg prescott is a very bad idea, not a stable combination. atleast from what I remember on sentinal saying when he tried.Quote:

I tried a pci vid card, no good either. I believe it is the board, just want to make sure before I order new one. Even though It goes against all logic to me(With all I been thru) I may just have it drop shipped to malves for modding. Got to make sure its the board and that malves has the time. The P4c800-E still is the best MB for Socket 478 if your gonna mod it right? I know the Ic7 is prob a better stock board but if I'm gonna have it modded a p4c800-E is board to go with right?
I have those two boards and the Abit is MUCH better at low memory timings and scores in sandra compared to the P4C800-E. However, UNMODDED the p4c800-e is the better board since the VTT tracks and the VDD is the same as the vcore, so no need for those two mods.
Also the asus seems to overclock a bit higher fsb wise with divider than the ic7. Although that could change with the VDD and the VAGP mods on the ic7. If I was modding it, I'd go for the Ic7.
The main issue I had with the P4c800-e was the Voltage Drooping and not having enough voltage to the memory. I am only looking for a stable 250FSB @ 2.5-2-2 at 1:1. Now which board do you think I should go with. Would a stock ic7 be better for me for that or a p4c800-e or am I going to have to mod whatever I get to achieve this?
I like the P4C800 better. Check my sig and you'll see why.:D
Sierra,
I was gonna solder a pin back on the CPU. But I won't be doing it, since you asked me not to. I am packing your stuff today and sending it tomorrow via USPS.
Since your CPU has a broken pin, I'd suggest you try another CPU on your board to make sure the board is still good. Without that pin, you gonna need a new CPU, bro:(
Thats my cpu with the broken pin? :banana::banana::banana::banana: I thought u were talking bout something else. Well that sucks. So what is going on here, you think the board was fine whole time and CPU is obviosly screwed?
