Setting it to 270 in the bios, the bios shows the memory at 450. CPU-Z reads my system as 274x15 and it shows the mem at 438.4
Sandra benches it at about 6000 MB/s even.

There you go. That's a 5:4 divider (274x1.6=438.4).
As I said, the MSI BIOS is full of shiznit ;)

That's hilarious...my MSI 865PE has the same huge jumps in FSB as well. And it keeps going up...270 gives 274...272 gives 277...274 gives 279.2 (that's as high as I could go at 5:4).

can you tell me wich are the voltage for vc....v-dimm and v-agp for asus p4p800??
thanks

1.95 v-core, 2.85 mem, 1.8 agp

I put the P4P800 back in the prometeia.
I can't belive this, The Turbo option is gone:eek:
I flashed and flashed and it doesn't come back. The only bios Asus shows on the web site now is the 1006, I need the 1005 to see if I can get the Turbo back, without it the board loses major points in benching.

Anyone know where I can get the 1005? Does somebody have one of these mobos, they could extract the bios and save it.

OPP

Here ya go opp all the bios files here :

ftp://ftp.asus.com.tw/pub/Asus/mb/sock478/P4C800/

Thanks Major but they have vanished any trace of the 1005 with turbo.
Somthing is up:eek:

OPP

pm me with your email opp and I'll send you any version you need, I have them all here.

I just checked the link and they are there again ?? whats up with that ! hehe maybe their messing with you cause you got top spot with the MSI ! lol

Major, I need the bios for the P4P not the P4C :D

OPP

Sorry Opp didn't notice that !!! didn't mean to get your hopes up !:)

I found a 1002 bios, maybe it will put the turbo back in.

OPP

Opp my P4C800 utility cd that came with the mb has a bios restore feature that flashes the bios to v1004 maybe the P4P800 has the same feature ?? you might could find the bios file on the cd if v1005 is what came installed !

Hey OPP...if the P4P800 is like he P4C800, the ONLY thing Turbo mode did was force 2/5/2/2 timings. And by force, I mean you can set the BIOS differently, put CPU-Z shows 2/5/2/2.

I got identical scores with it set to Standard, and manually setting the timings to 2/5/2/2, as I did in Turbo.

The Auto setting, however, sucks...and I have no idea what that does (it doesn't bump clockspeed or affect mem timings, so I have no idea).

I have my IS7 and 2.8C here now and she primed overnight at 250fsb using the 5:4 divider at 2-7-2-2 default Intel heatsink, 1.58vcore (1.65 in bios) and 2.74vdimm (2.80 in bios)

Currently the best I can do is prime for 6-7mins at 3640 @ 1.62vcore default cooling but the temps get to the 80s!! :eek: I can get her to prime at 220fsb 2-7-3-3 using 1:1 mode too, but 2-7-2-2 reboots PC halfway into windows.

Thats about all the testing I have done so far. Ill put her in the Vapo today or tomorrow and will have more results then.

Im enjoying this very very much :)

Well it took all of 4200 Mhz on the P4P800 but I finally beat the MSI in 3D2001.
4200Mhz, I was on my tippy toes for this one :D I wish the MSI would clock this high. Time to look into a Canterwood that is a good overclocker, how's that Asus P4C, any good?

OPP

Once again Congrats!! :toast:

I couldn't tell ya Opp ! I don't have the kind of cooling it takes to get my 3.0c above 3800mhz. I have seen alot of high fsb on the P4C800 though. all of the top listings on wcpuid fsb list are P4C800's.

What are the voltage options on that mobo?

OPP

check this out, P4P800 is up there too along with a IC7

http://holicho.lib.net/wcpuidv3/wcpuidv3.htm

Vdimm=2.85 (still looking for vmod)
Vcore=1.95
Vagp=1.8

The thing is exspensive, $200:eek:

The same voltage as this mobo, I like this P4P, it's a solid mobo except for the Prometeia reset thing and the fact that it lacks in benching.

thanks OPP:)

whats more according to that those p4c800's are doing those fsb at only 2.85v in all but the top one!!! i.e. no need for vddr mod to get there!

having said that, that table is VERY misleading because they are all engineering samples and they are all running at non overclocked cpu speeds (infact most of them are underclocked), so how meaningful that is when comparing boards I dont know. I guess it shows the P4c is capable of highest fsb when the chip is NOT overclocked, but isnt it possible that other boards are capable of higher than the p4c can do when the chip IS overclocked? the first overclocked chip is 11th in that list at 328 and is using a MSI neo. does look like the p4c's are capable of going very high without much vddr though. I think p4c just moved to top of my list.

The P4C800 is one fast mutha btw :D

sandra buffered at 298 (5:4):

unbuffered at 238FSB 1:1:
http://www.solidhardware.com/macci/p...238unbuf_s.gif

The unbuffered score is just insane considering the FSB used. I can take the IC7 up to 250FSB 1:1 and still can't beat it:

nice scores macci :)

still, i've seen so many high benches at 5:4, when it comes to it, its always relatively low CPU speed, relatively low Vcore and rarely 3D stable :(
