the 2mm come while the dothan dont have a heatspreader. the p4 has a heatspreader. sorry for my bad english.

Worst case is you get no contact. The only one that I know will work is the Intel retail HSF.
There may well be others - I think one of the SLKs may work - but I only have experience with the Intel HSF.
DFI's motherboard is officially out.

Does the problem with the OCZ Booster also occurs in the latest/retail versions? :confused:Quote:
DFI ® Brings Dothan to Performance Desktop Computing

DFI ® Brings Dothan to Performance Desktop Computing
- The new Pentium M based 855GME-MGF “green motherboard” aims at energy-conscious enthusiasts who demand the best cool and quiet platform for overclocking or underclocking --
DFI, maker of the award-winning LANParty™ and record-scoring LANPartyUT series of motherboards, today launched industry's most enthusiasts-oriented desktop Pentium M motherboard, 855GME-MGF. Based on the Intel mobile 855GME/6300 ESB chipset and supports socket 479 Pentium M processors, this motherboard merges cutting edge mobile technology and performance potentials onto an environmentally friendly platform. Its low heat generation, virtually fan less operation and performance-oriented design makes the new 855GME-MGF the perfect solution for small home servers, silent home theater PCs, or blazing fast gaming systems.
Designed with versatility in mind, the 855GME-MGF is based on the standard micro ATX form factor and features support for low latency DDR333 memory and AGP 4X. Similar to the CPU socket used in notebooks, the motherboard features a low profile CPU socket that fully supports socket 479 Pentium M and Celeron M processors with 0.09 µm Dothan or 0.13 µm Banias core. Migrating the mobile chipset and CPU platform to the desktop means DFI users can now truly enjoy green computing without the expense of performance degradation. From lowered energy consumption, low heat generation, low noise generation to a possible fan-less system design, the 855GME-MGF motherboard promises more than any current desktop can deliver.
In addition to the green features of this motherboard, DFI's 855GME-MGF also brings performance desktop computing to a new height. “In general application performance, a 2GHz Pentium M actually outperformed the desktop chips and even in gaming and workstation applications the Pentium M was competitive, all while running at significantly lower temperatures with much lower power requirements.” said Anand Lal Shimpi, Editor-in-Chief of Anandtech.
To equip overclockers with the best platform to work with, DFI's new Pentium M desktop motherboard boasts a robust BIOS that is packed with optimization options at the widest ranges. Advanced BIOS features include adjustable CPU clock (100 to 250 MHz), adjustable CPU ratio (6 to infinite), adjustable FSB to memory ratio (1:1, 4:3, 5:3), asynchronized PCI/AGP modes (33/66, 36/73, 40/80), and built in stability testing for both memory and CPU. In intensive gaming, DFI's new 855GME-MGF with an overclocked 2.8 GHz Pentium M processor flies past competing platforms with ease. Compared to the performance of Athlon64 4000+ and Pentium 4 3.4 GHz Extreme Edition in Doom3, DFI's new solution tops the chart with a large margin lead (see chart).

The DFI 855GME-MGF will start shipping in North America through DFI's authorized distributors and resellers starting November 8, 2004. Each motherboard is bundled with a specially designed heatsink/fan to ensure highest compatibility.

bump for new toys :D
Just waiting for the DFI to come into the retail channel...
@ all can any body test the aopen bord with booster in the first slot is it there running to?
my ram has cooler and when i put the ram into the same slot as kyosen i cant put any booster or ram in the other. so i must put the booster into the first slot near cpu. but is that runing? can anybody test that? my bord and my 1.7gigg dothan comes friday.
Greets Dennis
It looks like the Booster needs to be trimmed or re-sinked cause that little extra piece of heatsink of the mosfets blocks a CAP if you try to put it in the 2nd DIMM slot...if you put it in the 1st DIMM slot it block part of DIMM slot 2 area....I think best option is to trim down the heatsink on the booster and put it in 2nd DIMM slot...gonna do that this weekend..Quote:

i got the board but w/ my BGA dothan no signal to the video. :/Quote:

I do not know what thinking...:/

Well if it is BGA isn't it very possible that there is no contact being made between the socket & the ball grid?Quote:

I am dreaming? :)
Now i am not at home but tomorrow i give it a try.
P.S. but are we all sure that socket was universal?
EDIT: is your 1.6@2.3 dothan at default vcore?
EDIT2: unfortunately it is a no go. Only a dream. BGA dothan on aopen does not work. :/ aopen manual is at this point a little weird. :/

nice chip the 725. :)Quote:

kiko it give a adpapter for bga dothan. on pga sockets.
i did not think that it needed an adapter. I have no adapter. But adapter is not sufficient coz you have to knit (i do not know if is right in english in italian is "saldare") it to the socket.Quote:

Good find charlie. Hopefully it'll reach some other retailers and drop a bit...
Hopefully i'll get my DFI today...at least it was sent out to me yesterday.
Darn, i wish i hadn't promised my gilfriend to go snowboarding this weekend so i only have a few hours to put the sys together and run some benches. :(

You've got quite a nice one yourself, Siphilon.. Hows the temps? :)
