Hi,
anyone an idea whre to buy this adapter ? Cant find it in germany and i like to have it till Saturday .
regards
I recently got a good heat sink for S478 from a dumped Shuttle XPC (poor XPC got its ICH5 fried because of the USB hot plug sudden death syndrone)
Tried to install that heatsink into my CT-479 system and the result was quite successfully.
This is basically what I did
I bent all standing up pins on the CT-479 so that they don't block the heat pipe (The CPU on the CT-479 was a C4M 1.6, just use it as a place holder in case if the test goes wrong I won't crack my 740's silicon :) )

Moreover, use Glue Gun to make 6 pads on the CPU's organic packaging. I found this method is quiet handy, the glue is very hard when formed, hence can protect CPU silicon from being chipped, especially the 4 weak corners.

Then here comes the big guy:

Another important lucky thing that I found was the S478 steel back plate. I fixed that thing on top of the cooler's base, so the CT-479's two clips can be used directly.

This, is what it looks like when installed. The heatsink is so big that it nearly step out of the case! :wow:

Completely silent LOL, (no unless I find someway to shut the video card up)
This mod is done on a P4GD1 motherboard.
i got ct-479, M740 and works at 13x200=2600@1.45V
super pi is 34s. it's extremely small, so is it cos of 2x256MB memory not operating in DC and workin at 400MHz or whay? i have the P4C800-E DLX with 1023 BIOS
My got 29s in Spi, running 512x4 @ 200MHz, 2-3-3-7
check your timings
yeah i'm aware of that i wrote i have s h i tty memory:( 2.5-3-3-8 what's the difference beetween 512x4 and a OCZ platinum kit 2x1GB 2-2-2-5@400MHz?
2-2-2-5 would definitely run faster
Its possible, but theres so much weight that you need to put a IHS on it otherwise it will lose contact with just brackets.
I took the brackets off the CT-479 and bent them to slide them on the ninja, then just bent them back to normal, and it works perfect, difficult to get on but its obviously much better than the stock heatsink.
I managed to take a picture of it after it was all set up, you can only see the C through the fan on the adapter.
Its a 740 dothan at 2.82ghz with a bus speed of 940 mhz. Max temp about 48C, voltage 1.504.
Thats also using some thermaltake white goo, since i lost my AS5
Question for CT-479 experts: Is it possible for the Vcca mod to kill ram? Doesn't seem like one would affect the other, however, I lost one stick and then a second a day later. Happened while attempting to set a high FSB through clockgen. Never had a problem with this memory until the day I did the mod. other info: p4p800se mobo and TCCD ram... Mem voltage never set out side of 2.6 - 2.8 range.
I bet mobo took your ram......Happens all the time I believe with the P4GD1 and P4C800.....I've lost three of my rams on these mobos too......Rams that where working 3 years onto ABIT IC7 mobos......:(Quote:

At least on my rams, SPD was dead.......Quote:

Will a CT-479 work with this version or do i need a newer BIOS?
Its says on the ASUS website v1007 "Added support for CT-479".
Is that still included with version 1008?
Da_maniaC
Yes it is work with bios ver 1008.
OK, thanks. :)
I also have 1 stick with dead SPD and impossible to restore using that Typhoon SPD writer.Quote:

I have a P4P800-VM.
I'm thinking about picking up a CT-479 and a Pentium M and doing a little overclocking.
Based on the first post of this thread, I'm going to look at the 730 and 750 CPU models.
And I know I'm going to have to resort to using clockgen since the P4P800-VM doesn't offer any overclocking options.
Has anyone been successful overclocking the Pentium M on this motherboard?
I've searched the forums and I can't find anyone who has.
If it's possible, what should I expect in terms of results and what should I look out for?
Krick, I should be able to let you in a bit. I swapped out a P4C800-E Deluxe for a P4P800VM because I need an SFF rig to put my Dothan 730 in.
So far, I have not gotten the multiplier support to work on this board...so it appears we're stuck at stock multi out of BIOS at least.
I also have a weird issue completely unrelated to the board. Out of 3 boards, and several processors, I always have a default voltage of 1.55v. I pinmodded my adapter last year, and removed it ages ago...yet the results seem to have "stuck"...there is no way it seems for me to lower the voltage. I even tried forcing a pin mod for 1.356v to no avail. And even on this P4P800VM which doesn't even have vcore options, it's still way up there at 1.55v. :confused:

I have a 730 on a P4P800-VM.
First thimg I did was use the pin mod to up the VCore to 1.55v (see Tricks thread)
I see the multi to 12 in the bios and boot at 133. During the STARTUP, I run clockgen and get the FSB to 200mHz. This gives me a 2.4g processor for my HTPC. I am using stock cooling, running around 57C at load in an A/V cabinet.
PI time is around 31s for 1M (my P4 OC'ed to produced 34s). It has been very stable at this speed. I might get more but I wanted greater stablilty.
Where in the BIOS did you change you multiplier?Quote:

For a P4P800-E, you need to flash to a P4P800SE BIOS. If you search this thread, you can find instructions for doing it. Most importantly you need an older version of AFUDOS or you'll kill your board.Quote:

Also, about the bootblock.
Will the correct version of AFUDOS just leave it alone or do i have to use extra parameters?
Thank you. :)
