Thus:
Extra height of the CT-479 (1/4" for argument's sake) = bending the clip down by an equivalent 1/4" to reach the extra distance to the retention bracket.
And if you are talking about hooking the clips somewhere else, like on the CT-479 itself, where is there a secure and sturdy enough spot to do it? Wouldn't it damage the circuit board of the adapter?
Along the same line of thought, raising the clips with washers would be wrong too, wouldn't it? How about mounting the clips using the same screws, but underneath the heatsink instead?
Somebody correct my error in thinking, here, if I am wrong...

Yes this is another possibility.Quote:

Bending the hooks backwards is necessery to make them shorten in length because the processor will indeed be risen by the CT479.
After bending them backwards you should take the tip of the iron hook and bend that back to make it fit back into the retention module again so it will fit like it normally should.
For anyone who is looking for the older ICS952607 specific version of ClockGen (aka CG-ICS952607.zip) that supported "ghost mode" and can be run at windows startup, I've collected all the old versions I could find and put them on my web site. Enjoy...

Nice.
Too bad i cant seem to stop my Onboard sound chip to get affected by overclocks.
Even though my bus speed is locked in the BIOS.
(My northwood didnt have this problem at all on the same motherboard).
i solved the problem in my own way about how to install XP90 on CT479. you should mod CT479 power supply module. i will send pics later.Quote:

The link on the first post is dead. Does anyone have a copy of the pic or know where to find instructions on how to do it?
I also recently got ahold of a P4P800 Deluxe. Does anyone know if the latest beta BIOS 1021.006 has Dothan support? The first post of this thread only mentions beta bios 1021.003.
I'm still not sure which board I'm going to use the Dothan on. Any thoughts?
I'm using bios 1021.006 on my p4p800 vanilla (non SE) and it works flawlessly with my 780ES. this new bios adds the vcore adjust which is absent in bios 1021.003Quote:

The idea is to have the heatsink apply the same amount of pressure to the core of the Dothan/CT-479 combo as it did to the P4 mounted in the original socket. Since the Dothan?CT-479 raises the height of the heatsink, it means the clips would need to be pushed further to hook onto the motherboard bracket. Pushing the clips further means the heatsink would place more pressure on the core of the CPU. We want to alleviate this and the only way to do so is to permanently bend the heatsink mounting clips downward by a distance equal to the extra height of the Dothan/CT-479 combo. We want to negate the extra height to keep the mounting pressure the same. Bending the clips back (upward as is depicted in your drawing) will do the opposite.Quote:

I think the idea of bending the clips to mount an XP-90 is a great idea and will work as long as you bend them in the right direction: downward toward the motherboard.

i got the say the dothan 730 is one of the best oc chip i got mine to 2.7 with 225 x 12 with 1:1 ratio just cant the 2-2-2-5 timing vcore at 1.6v
most stable with 1.6v would be 217*12 at 2.6 with 730 dothan
Hello
My p4p800SE has been died :( I have a p4c800 deluxe and I put bios beta 1021.005 so that it can work with they dothan and it works well but by defect multiplier 6 is put and there is no way to change it :mad: to somebody but happens this to him, or knows as I can solve it?
Salu2
What kind of cooling are you using?Quote:

ZALMAN 7000 works fine, without mod.
the only thing u r going to do is to reverse the clip and find two long screws.

What's up with this ebay link listing the Dothan as 478? Is that correct? Does that mean I wouldn't need the CT-479 adapter?

You definitely do need the ct-479 adaptor, I have recently replaced a
p4 2.6c in my p4p800 deluxe (bios flashed to p4p800se 1012.001 beta)
with a dothan 715 @ 2.42ghz. I got my adaptor here in Australia for
$59 only 4 weeks ago but they now don't have it listed anymore.
I think Intel still views it as a 478chip even though it is not compatible
with that socket. Just make sure if You get one off ebay that the
Piccy matches up with the description, as usual buyer beware.
Mine runs at 162fsb and ram at about 404mhz on 333 ratio.
I recently borrowed a 730 533fsb unit , and even though you can
get over 200fsb no problems It doesn't make any difference to
ram bandwidth, which I found surprising, although the 533fsb
units will give you about 200mhz extra.
By the way it kicks the old 2.6c's ass when it comes to games.
Has anyone got a piccy of the simple 1.55v u-wire mod? [Link dead on the first page, unfortunately]
Just got my 750 through the post this morning, £50 off ebay, so I'll find out what my P4P800-X makes of it tonight if I get time :D
I found a picture of the wire mod in this thread...Quote:

eWiz.com has pretty cheap prices and I've never had a problem.
If you use Froogle to find the items, click through, and add them to your cart, you get a special discounted froogle price. You can get both for $162. The items should show up in your card prefixed by [FR]. See attached picture.
Here's the Froogle links...
CPU $120: http://froogle.google.com/froogle?q=...m%20730%20ewiz
CT-479 $42: http://froogle.google.com/froogle?q=ct-479+ewiz
Superb - thanks a lot krick, appreciate it :DQuote:

The CT-479 comes with it's own special heatsink. No modifications necessary.
I've got a Pentium M 730 overclocked to 2.7GHz using the stock heatsink in my P4P800 Deluxe motherboard.
The only reason I'm asking questions about other heatsinks is because I want to try to get to 2.8GHz or higher.
Well I did a pin mod of my own earlier, but not the good kind. One of the corner pins of my CT-479 snapped off in the socket, rendering both board & adapter useless until I can fish out that pin. The odds were stacked against me with an unsupported board, unless I get that pin out I can't even try a dodgy flash from a different model, in an attempt to get the chip to post. Ah well...
sweet, might have to shell out the dough thenQuote:
