I am a little concerned about powering a rig using the ASUS adaper.
According to ASUS, the adapter provides power to the CPU. And I have seen posts from people who had to remove harddrives and such from the power lead that goes to the adapter. I've also seen people that had to remove their 6800 Ultras to get a decent overclock.
At the same time, I don't see anything from the pictures of that little adapter that suggests it could power some of the overclocks that people are doing...???
I guess my main concern is that I want to run my 6800 Ultra. And I have dual 12 volt rails on my power supply. One 12v rail just powers the motherboard (which usually includes the CPU), the other 12v rail powers everything else (including my 6800U). If I were to plug the adapter into a floppy connector, it would end up being on the same rail as my 6800U. I'm afraid both together might be too much for one rail...?
Thanks.
You're right. There are some people experiencing problems with dual rail PSUs.Quote:

You can also use a 20k VR, but remember this mod is for the P4GD1 (or for boards using the same buck controller, RichTek RT9248A). :)Quote:

Dothan/CT-479 does NOT like UTT ram including G.Skill GBGH and Redlines. I'm having best results with OLD bh-5 and MUSHKIN HiPerf PC4400 (tccd)
And I'm booting at 190, have agp locked (at least I think so) and have run 1:1 up to 250, 260 with BH5 and 4:5 run up to 210/260. PAT can be enabled with 875tweaker, am I missing anything by not booting at 201??
And the sub27s superPi at 2700mHz doesn't suck, either :D
OH! And one more ??, those who've done the Vcore mod, do you remove the wire mod from the socket?? And does anyone have a Vcore measuring pt for the P4C800E-Dlx?

No, the adapter does not power the CPU. It's pulling less than 0.1A on the 12V (less than 1.2W) line and isn't using the 5V rail at all (just disconnect the 5V rail and it's still working). If you're experience problems with dual rail PSU's, you can make an adapter that feeds the CT-479 throgh one of the fan connectors on your motherboard, remember not to use one of the temprature contrelled outputs. :)Quote:

Pics please! How did you mount the MFer??? :confused: :confused:
BTW, torched my adapter. :shock: Gotta buy a new one. Man, these pressed-ham hands are great for palming a basketball, but bad for soldering. I wish I lived in a country where I could exploit some little kids with small hands.

@Kamerat
I have understod that the PCI/PCI-E frequency can not be locked on P4GD1. Has this caused any problems for you, how much PCI-E overclocking can your X800XT handle? For example can you use FSB range 170-200Mhz?
And by the way, can you modify voltages with EIST in windows?
What temps do you need to to get to get 12x250 3gig would a water cooled pelt be enough say about 120w ?

what can i do??
help??
:slobber:
clear cmos?
EIST allows you to undervolt, but not overvoltQuote:

helppppppppppp
Disconect everything not needed hard drives ect. make sure ram is in correctly. remove the ct-479 / cpu and put back in.
set the clear cmos make sure the 12v connector is in and the power to the ct-479 and switch on. give it a little bit and switch off then set the clear cmos back to normal and try again. do you have a speaker connected to the mobo does it make any beeps ?
do you have another board you can hotflash the bios with in case of a bad flash ?
try another vga card.

thanks but i found my problem and now the borad work only i cant control the vcore volt in the bios and not the multi who i fix that?
also who i do the vcore mod?
thanks alot!
Interesting. If that's the case then we can go for higher clocked dothans (740, 750 etc.) without having to boot up at 201FSB. Which bios for that?Quote:

That's a common problem with B1 and earlier Dothans across all boards. If you got a 7x5 chanses are high that it's a B1 one. You can use CPU-Z to find out which revision you got.Quote:

At 200 and turbo the asus boards sets a MASS of tweaks including strap tweaks etc. if you want awsome ram speed to around 220 with BH5 set 200 and turbo and use clockgen to clock. If you are looking for higher set 201 and use 865tweaker to dial in some speed.
i flash my p4c800e-deloxe bios to p4p800e bios!! and now i have alot of thinks in the bios (like vcore)
but still even if the vcore is 1.6v i cant boot at 200 fsb or 201!! i can only boot 133-198 but not 200 or higer!!
way? and what i need to do to get multi in this bios? and also what is vid coms? or some think like that! i see it in my bios!
thanks
Yep, that's how I've been doing mine as well. Obviously, take care in tightening down the heatsink evenly. When I had the fan bracket out of the heatsink, I removed the stock fan. Got a high flow fan on it now....soon to be ducted.Quote:

Interestingly enough, I have the same exact problem. I have an M740 with a P4C800-E Deluxe board and the CPU runs ROCK STABLE at default voltage at 190FSB but I can't even boot at 200 or 201 FBS regardless of the voltage.Quote:

Btw, all of you guys ROCK for having figured out the power of Dothan. I was very close to getting a San Diego CPU for my new setup but decided to go with Dothan instead and I couldn't be happier. :) :) :)
Thank you all for the infos. I don't currently have any working dothan setup but I am hoping to get my dothan 730 by the end of the week. I have P4GD1 and other stuff waiting for it. So at the moment I am just doing some research here in the forums.
Has anyone chipped their dothans when installing the zalman 7000 heatsink?
how it can be that all the guys can go with dothan 740+p4c800e-deloxe and thay rich 3400 ghzzzzz and i cab go over 2500 why???
also can some one give me alink to download the tweaker that can enabeld the cpc from windows?
thanks
isnt it in the sticky thread called 865/875 tweaker? :stick:Quote:

:mad:
i am soory that i flow this thread... but i realy need some help and i dont see something that can help me.. soo can you help me rich hi fsb? thanks alot..
and again soory :p:
Have you done any vcore mods?
Might be that you dont get the vcore you think you do when setting it in bios...
Try the u-wire mod. Worth a try anyways.
New beta bios for P4C800-E Deluxe added. Please report back if you test it :)
i am now use the new bios for p4c800e-deloxe it only give me the vcore but still not the multi :(
and i still cant boot at 200/201 fsb!! :confused:
what all the guys here do with the same board and dothan 740 to over 199 fsb?
As far as I know it is not currently possible to change the multiplier in bios with any of the motherboards.(exept maybe on the VM)Quote:

:YIPPIE:
PLEASE HELP. we have read everything but still can't figure out a solution :confused:
thx in advance :bows:
What memory are you using ? it could be something else that is stopping your overclock like memory or agp/pci lock , psu etc
try running memory at 320 with fsb at 200
what temps are you getting.
what happens of you boot below 200 and then use clockgen to go over 200.
how far did you get with the asus cooler with 13x200 thats 2600 with the u-wire for 1.568 it should work but be a little high on the temps.
give us some more info and we can try out best.

i dont do the u-wire bicuse i can get 1.6 volt with the bios!!
thanks
it could be you have a poor cpu that wont overclock. you are able to run over 200fsb with multi if 12 so thats not the problem.
even though you have vcore of 1.6 in bios i bet it drops down to 1.55v like the p4c800-e deluxe i have next to me.
i am using the new 1022ed.003 bios on a pc4800-e deluxe and it is locked at x6 in the bios. Vcore works ok but the range is 1.5-1.6 and at 1.6v it runs at 1.568-1.55.
i have reset bios defaults / used the afudos that came with it with /pc as in the text file also used the older one i have with /n /pbnc but still locked at 6.
lucky eist or cpumsr can change it in windows.
i tried running at 6x250 with memory at 320 but it wont post with the stock cooler and vcore at 1.6.

any advise welcomed!

if i will do the vid4-vcc pin it will work?
also can some one give me agood photo hwo to do this mode to the cpu?
thanks
ok!
i do the u wire (1.55) and still have problems to over 2580 mhz!! why is that?
i see guys with this 740 dothan that go over 3400 mhz!
what i need to do to goo that to?
thanks :toast:
you REALLY need to study this better... no offense, but you ask questions like you haven't read the threads. 3400mHz is on LN2, a LOT colder than a Vapo.Quote:

my dothan steping is sl7sa!! this is good?
@charlie
wtg man nice to see you hit 3ghz with your new cpu :toast: :woot:
They have found quite annoying combinations of settings to put in the bioses at Asus, always one piece missing from the puzzle preventing overclocking. :) Maybe they are still testing something and trying to figure out if it is safe enough to allow overclocked usage. And when they see it's all safe they will release bioses with full options. :rolleyes:Quote:

I would understand it if he had temp problems, but temp does not seem to be the bottleneck here. Please correct me if I'm wrong.Quote:

Whats your FSB max?
Do some methodically testing to rule out components. To me it sounds like either a bad CPU og tricky memory. OR simply a misunderstood way of getting some juice out of these Dothans...
I would pull off the vapo, work on getting above 200FSB on air with low multis (charlie managed to get a 3GHz clock though booting below 200FSB...)
Otherwise sell that multi 13 CPU and get a 730 (multi 12) instead.
maybe its your sata disc ye-3333
many thanks to STRYG and VANOVICH :)
can someone please post a "newbie" detailed explanation of the vcore mod and vdrop mod?
The 1008 bios is not multi unlocked either.Quote:

with 1.6 in bios+v-mod you don't need any more the pin mod...nice!
I have to say i am getting a little frustrated with the dothan.
I just finished doing the vcore/vmem and vdroop mods the a p4c800-e deluxe rev2.
setup a stormg4 water block and 2x thermochill 120.2 rads with mcp650 from the p4 i used to use.
the new geil pc4000 arrived today so i can run at 250fsb no problem
set bios to 1.6v 230fsb still have multi mocket at 6 but that is ok i can just set it in windows.
boot into windows ok as normal cpu-z confirms i am running at 1.64-1.62v
set fsb to 233 and the system just hangs so water cooling and 1.62v made no differnace i still cant get over 233 any more.
just trying with setting fsb to 166 in bios and ram at 200 see how far i can push that.
it could be the bios causing me problems with the 6x multi but i dont think so.
the only thing that's left for me is get the temps down with a water cooled pelt or somthing like that.
So, at this point wich board works better with Dothan CPU's. OC's better, is more stable, has better options and both multi and fsb can be changed...?
Any suggestions?
I did read the first post from top to bottom, but live experiences is what I need :D.
i have my old p4 2.8c running again @ 3569 with the new geil pc4000 at 255 2.5-3-3-8 2.95v
first super pi 1m againts my best dothantime at 11x233

p4
http://www.ljsnet.co.uk/p43d2k1.jpg
and dothan
http://www.ljsnet.co.uk/3d01-2800.JPG
The p4 is so fast in windows everything responds instant when windows loads but the dothan is slower you can tell after running one after the other.
but the power of the dothan side is impresive ..most impresive
It's been said before, but I'll just reiterate...
You need a 730 or a 740 to run them on AIR the way they're meant to be run. I've tried for 2 days to get my 750 to load windows on AIR (even my Zalamn7700Cu) and it just ain't gonna happen. Once in Windows it'll run sPi 1M at about 2750 on AIR, but won't load windows at 2814 (201fsb)...
So just to remind peeps... 730 or 740!!!!!!
EDIT!! I did manage to get it booted/loaded on AIR, lol, but by resting the evap of the autocascade on the edge of the heatsink for 10 minutes and THEN flipping the switch, hehehe...
C
It seems even the 2600 that the 740 requires is a bit chancy. So the safest bet is the 730. And the 730 seems to overclock just as well as any other. Quite often people will buy higher rated chips to get the better binned pieces. But with these it doesn't seem to matter much.
yup...
Only bad thing about the 730 and 740 is if you're competitively benching with phase/DICE or LN2 and you wanna' run 250-260, 1:1...
The 12 and 13 multi's may leave you a bit short.
C
ask x86-secret guys (or anyone) to make a bios-patch for controlling EIST multipliers in bios..
oh why, oh why, dothan won't boot up like mobile p4 - using lowest mult :mad:
I wish....Quote:

for the 7700 you simply turn the "clips", the little "L" shaped bits of metal upside down, sliding them over the main clip and it works... it is a slightly "sloppy" fit, but seems to work well.

charlie what bios are you running on the p4c800-e deluxe ?
i am having problems with the latest 1022.003 detecting the multi it's locked at 6. After setting multi to 12 with eist some programs still show the cpu speed as if the multi was 6 and sandra benchmark gives cpu score of 5000 when it was 11k before. memory benchmark shows fsb 4x230 which is correct but ddr speed of 2x115.
I am going to use the 1021.003 bios see what that does. I could try the p4p800-e 1007 bios but the p4c800-e has intel lan and so the 3com one on the p4p800-e bios stops lan from working.
Quote:

Some benchmark will revert the speed to the original speed you use when you boot (6 x whatever fsb you set in the bios) no matter what speed you set using clockgen and eist.
Sisoft sandra, everest, and pcmark 2002/2004 are those which are affected and gives very low score.
3dmark 2001, Final fantasy benchmark, aquamark and super pi are those which are not affected.
I think its related to the bios (remember, its beta bios and still buggy).
Anyway, I am actually quite happy with the beta bios, I can boot with fsb higher than 200 using pentium M 760. The voltage regulation also works very well, showing voltage ranged from 1.3 to 1.6. Those asus engineer are getting there to provide us with perfect bios (change multi and voltage). :)
GO GO GO ASUS, GIVE US THE PERFECT BIOS !!! :D

when i first had this m730 i was running at 12x233 2800 no problem on air now with air or water it just wont go above 2760. 12x230 2760 is solid not a single problem i tested my ram upto 257 with a p4 on the same mobo too so that shouldnt limit me.
I did break a pin of the base of the ct-479 lucky for me it's one on the outer edge and i can put some wire much like a u-wire mode into the socket and it works ok without the wire and it wont post but that should not limit my OC.
as sandra ect are synthetic benchmarks it does not matter that much as long as the system perferms as expected.

It should be possible. When i used my Pentium M 730 in the unsupported P4S800-MX it booted with 6x MP. To bad it refused to boot Windows, but Linux worked just fine. :)Quote:

Can anyone guide me thru an Asus P4C800-E with a Dothan 725? I got this today and flashed it to the beta BIOS 1022.003.
It WILL NOT boot without saying NEW CPU INSTALLED press F1 for SETUP or F2 to continue (loads defaults), If I change the setting for halt on errors (F1) it will boot and just load windows with the defaults again.
I can change the multiplier in BIOS and it will keep that 6x 10x whatever, but FSB, dividers, etc it sets to defaults on each boot stating the NEW CPU message as above!!! (it did this on a P4 prior to flashing the BIOS as well) So I'm stuck in this loop, So,......Is this mobos fuxxored or is there a simple fix?
************************************************** ***********************************************
New adapter with all the pins means the mobo keeps BIOS settings because it can see it's the same CPU as the last time it booted now :)
HOWEVER, There does seem to be "issues" with this BIOS as as I cannot go over 160FSB or it won't boot, or will lock in Windows (if set there) with this Dothan. This is a 2.4Ghz @ default volts CPU on the P4P800SE, but on this P4C800-E it won't 166FSB at any speed (6 x 166 etc) this is 1:1 ratio on the mem : FSB.
I just swapped to a 1.3 Banias and it does 2.4Ghz 13 x 185FSB no problems whatsoever, so I'm gonna stick with that I think for now.
Suggestions on the FSB issue on the Dothan on this mobo? Changing to another CT-479 adapter made no difference.
Cheers,
MM
The 400FSB Dothan (e.g. all 7x5 ones) are know to hit a ceiling at ~160FSB.Quote:

your board is setting multipliers?....I wonder if its a 400fsb thing where the 533 ones won't?Quote:

I can confirm the latest beta for the P4C800E does have full multi support with the 400fsb cpu's...so try this, adjust the fsb jumpers to 400 on the CT479 and see if this allows you to adjust the multi for the 533 fsb models.
my banis hits a wall at 2 gig no matter which fsb combo i use
To quote myself I actually tried this as i have both CPU types, with the older 400 core the bios has full multi controll but the FSB is limited, with the 533 models the Multi is not there so we are back waiting.Quote:

Didn't do squat. The 1022 BIOS makes it boot up at 6x, and changing the jumpers for a 400MHz didn't change anything. I'm typing this up folding at 217MHz fsb, so that looks ok as well.Quote:
