Ok, bad for u that it doesnt respond to high voltage. My 730 LOVES high voltage. It goes fine @2520 on default voltage. And it did go to 2750 on my p4c800e dlx@1.6(1.55). And that with the default alu cooler. But the temps then@2750 where was high. From 50@2520 to between 65-70@2750. I`m getting 3x2GB adata 3200 sticks later this week plus my rmaèd ocz dual el ram set back. Hope those cheap ass wrong priced(half price) sticks clock at leat a little bit.Quote:

Asus has totally f**ed up this once great board! No other option than Auto for VCore!
What a waste of money... :mad:
In addtion to my griefs.. I got a celly m 370 today from the same supplier (shg.no) of the board, that didn't even managed to post at FSB133.. Not a great day I'll say.. :coffee:

good news is i'm getting a refund on my screwed dothan 760 :)
maybe yonah, found a guy in china selling one apparently :)
Just a quick off-topic post... :)
Had to try to dismantle my laptop (HP dv1045) to check if that "strange" 710 installed could fair any better than my "disgusting" Celly M 370...:mad:
Oh yeah baby! This is a strange "customer".. not much info on this proc.. Intel doesn't even list this model.
Found info about 710 under Intel "thermal design".. This has a TDP rating of 10watt!!
And sure it's cool.. even though it perhaps may be rated as LV (low-voltage) it *did* work in CT-479.. Default VCore is 1.24... Put it to 1.375 and FSB166-168 (which seems to be a ceiling for this one...more VCore does not help)...
Almost 1Ghz OC and full load temp 33 C.. is "good enough"..
This made my mood improve significantly from yesterday.. :D
And it was fun to dismantle the laptop (a "first-time" for me). Lot's of small screws.. and a couple hidden under a sticker that slowed me down for a while... Now it will be interesting to see if the Celly M 370 will work in the "lappy"..
On topic:
I reinstalled a u-wire in one of my adapters.. and installed my "best" 740M in the new P4GPL-X (from my P4P800-SE).. Vcore is then 1.58-1.60 booting.. and I use Eist in a .cmd (Starutp-folder) to reduce Vid to about 1.48-1.50 @ 2.75Ghz.. With my X800Pro it scores just under 32k i 3DMark01.. Acceptable..:cool:
YES!!!!!!!!! I finally succeeded in getting a P4GD1 :D.......... and at 80$ here in Denmark :). My P4GPL-X will hit the trash can faster than crack can sell a saturday night! I'll post my results as soon as possible...
I registered on XS after reading this thread, as I have just bought a P4GPL-X, and only have the auto option for Vcore.
I sent a rather, how shall i say, strong email to Asus, and I seem to be making progress. The person I have contacted is getting a p4gpl-x, a ct479 and a dothan in the next couple of days so as to try to work out what the problem is with only Auto been available for Vcore, as soon as I hear more I will let you know.
Heh, Good effort Arnie, I'll be interested to hear any development on this.
Bit the bullet and did the vcore mod already on mine which is working a treat.
Anyone else had problems with the marvell yukon ethernet adapter disappearing?
Just got a P4PGPL-X, and was wondering about the bios...it came with 0301...should I be flashing it with anything different? I threw a 2.8 Prescott into it for now because I wasn't sure if I would need a bios update for the CT-479.
FWIW, vcore on my board seems locked as well. No biggie, as my 730 doesn't seem to gain much with added voltage anyways, and I can u-wire it if need be.
Now waiting for the 7800GT to roll in.
Cheers

The newest bios is 0401 and works good for me. I have not really tried any of the older ones.
The Marvel ethernet controller goes away sometimes for me too. I find that allowing the operating system to install the driver is better than installing the driver with the disk. Also there is a driver update for it via windows update.
That sucks about the voltage core problem with you guys boards. My voltage core works fine. If anything it overvolts. If you guys need any numbers from my board let me know.
I just replaced my x1800xl with a x1900xtx and did 11,690 in 3dmark05 :)
There's a known problem w/ Marvel GigE adapters authenticating to 2000/2003 domain controllers, so I usually end up just disabling them anyways and using a generic realtek 8139. I'll leave it enabled just to see if it disappears though :)
Dont have this problem with marvel lan adapter at my board. Using newest drivers from win update. I have also had my machine on almost constantly for serveral weeks.Quote:

Had my P4GPL-X for a little while now and was wondering someone could answer me a few questions -
1, Has anyone found a way of changing multipliers on the board.
2, Does everyones board overvolt by 0.08v - 0.10v and display temps 10c + hotter than actual.
3, Where would I be able to take a true vcore reading with a DMM
Any information would be appreciated.
Cheers

I'm also having the same problem with my P4GPL-X not being able to adjust vcore (auto only). I have done the u-wire 1.55v, but I would like more voltage. Can somebody please post some clear pictures/directions as to how to vmod the P4GPL-X to get 1.65 or more voltage?
I notice there is one picture in this thread with the vmod, but that picture tells me nothing. I see that where that 2 wire connects. The problem is I don't know where are those 2 wire are leading to. Can somebody please offer a newbie some help?

Thanks for the help Cirthix and Lawry.
I want to see how accurate the Vcore reading in BIOS/Windows is.
I hope its not as wildly inaccurate as the temp reading.
I am having trouble getting my 750 to run stable in windows at 2.7Ghz even when using a vcore of 1.525v (1.61v - 1.62 with the overvolt as reported by BIOS/Windows).
I think it should be able to run stable at this speed as it hasn't hit a wall as such and isn't running too hot 61c under full load (which is probably more like 50c in reality). My previous 740 would run stable upto 2,54Ghz and then would not even load windows 5Mhz higher than that.
I think it will. I am able to boot up at 2.96ghz and play NFS-MW for a good 3 hours. Heck, I'm even able to boot up into windows at 3.16ghz, but unstable. This is all done at 1.55 uwire. I'm pretty sure with more juice, I can easily go over 3ghz. btw: my temp is 60c (on 100% load) on my P4GPL-X, which means it's really like 50c since it's reading is around 10c above.Quote:

From past experience, I'd say the temp sensor is 15 degrees too highQuote:

BUT, the biggest problem is that the dividers are totally f*cked up! I ONLY HAVE 5:4! If I choose 400/333 doesn't matter, it stills 5:4! Someone has a solution to this? Would flash to P4GD1 help? And how big is the succesratio of that?
Started reading old thread since I got a cheap 740 dothan and p4gpl-x :D
Yes, newer revision boards do not change vcore. This is hilarious. I got rev 1.03. I don't remember revision of my old board but I could change vcore no problem.
It seems uwire mod is the only way to change vcore
Well, dothan of the 9th week of 2006 is prime stable @ 2600Mhz 1.32V DMM
Will post uwire mod results later
