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

Thank you. :)

If you go here:

http://www.abxzone.com/forums/showth...0&page=1&pp=15

you'll find instructions on how to do the flash. The AFUDOS link there is not working, though. If you PM your email addy, I'll be glad to send you what I'm quite sure is the version that worked for me.

One question for P4GD1/P4GPL-X users: at which PCI-E frequency does the SATA Controler fail? Some people say 110 PCI-E, others say 120 PCI-E.

Hi guys - just a very quick question.

My stock cooler (CT-479 on a 770) is dead - need to get a replacement.

Is Zalman 7000CU the best/easiest choice, if I dont want to do moddings on the cooler?

I would love a fast reply, since I have to get my computer up and running asap!

Cheers!

7000alcu is actually a little lighter and cheaper, so that's your best bet. it mounts very easily

Will it cool just as good as the cu model? (and thanks for the fast reply, by the way :) )

The pentium m has so little heat dissipation that you dont need a terribly efficient air cooler to get maximum performance, so yeah alcu is good enough.

My zalman fatal1ty fs-c77 has no difference in temperature when i hold my fan or not.

Very nice overclock. :)

Bend the brackets back so they will tighten the cooler again.
Then bend the 'feet' that hook into the retention module back so it will fit again.

Just keep in mind that everytime you think it fits ok and you want to turn on your computer you make sure it is
thoroughly connected with the processor surface.

Pentium M 725A

Hey guys, I was wondering if anyone knows how the C0 400FSB Pentium M's overclock? I'm looking at a SL89T C0 "725A". But do these CPU's have the same problem the Celeron M C0's have? (~180FSB).

Yeah thats the way, however me being changing cpu's now and then have broken one of my retention clips due to metal fatigue... were can I get new retention clips?
Alternatively some other solution...

I think these replacement clips should work

Try these, perhaps. They're for another model of Thermalright HS, but I believe they are the same:

i try to do it, but i found i can't fit XP-90C on the CPU COOLER module, would you explain it clearly and show me more pictures.

thanks a lot.:toast:

i think if i can use XP-90C and increase cvoltage , it will be good.:banana:

Here's another hand drawing:

See how the cooler brackets are different?

All you have to do is bend them with some tools.

The easiest way to do this is to just put the cooler on the processor and try to point out where you want to bend it to make it fit with your tools.

Be sure to bend it 2-4 mm sooner on the cooler bracket then where you initially wanted to bend it. (This will ensure the bracket will fit tightly on the processor).

Still the risk is all yours, but its not that hard really.

Thx... I'll promptly order one set...
awk... the shipping cost is higher than the clips...:mad:

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.

Ok, I have my 730 installed and it works fine at the stock speed. I want to overclock it but I have two problems with the first page in this thread...

1) the link to the vcore wire mod is dead

2) the clockgen link is dead, and the latest version at http://www.cpuid.com/clockgen.php doesn't allow you to save and load settings on startup.

Can anyone help me out with a copy of the wire mod pic and/or a copy of the right version of clockgen?

Just for the hell of it, I lowered the memory speed to 233 and tried to just bump the FSB speed up just using clockgen *without* doing the vcore mod but it was *really* unstable.

Once I get the vcore mod done and get the clockgen thing worked out, I'm planning on doing some sort of aftermarket cooler setup but I have a very cramped case (the Superflower case in this Tom's Hardware review... http://www.tomshardware.com/2003/12/...review_part_1/ ). I'm thinking leaning toward either the Zalman CNPS7000B-Cu or the Zalman CNPS6500B-Cu as it seems people have had good luck with these coolers.

Can anyone provide pros or cons to either cooler, especially in a cramped case?

Thank you very much. i understand what you said. the XP90 is not hook the rentention module, it is withstand inside the module. am i right? i will try to do it again.:D

i mod CT479, and it is work on my P4C800ED. the cooler bracket is very tight, it is difficult to bend. i will upload pic later.

thanks all.

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:

You can change multi downwards on P4P800-VM if you are using BIOS version 1017. The function has been disabled in newer releases of BIOS?? For beeing a SFF-board it performs great!
