@uclajd

have you try single channel with your board ? (one memory stick)

If that no works with higher fsb your board are really limited.
Asus P4P800-SE rocks

Nope, I could try that.

Asus P4P800-SE rocks

Just got one on ebay for $61.

[Ychocky]

So is the P4P800-SE the only board I should be looking at for this application?

uclajd: How much does a 760 cost in your area/where did you purchase? It's $950+ (CDN ) anywhere I go here in Canada.

Thanks

PS: I get a kick out of the screenies with the Intel CPU Identification utility warning us that we have an overclocked cpu! HA!

Of the P4Ps, it appears so. I haven't looked into the P4Cs. Be sure to check the Dothan overclocking thread and see what they are all using. Some P4Cs in there.

I got mine at mwave and picked it up will call.

[Marlowe]

No, I have a 760 (2.0 533).

So this screenshot you posted is not correct?

[uclajd]

Yikes, apparently not. You can see from the FSB it is a 533 bus. I guess CPUZ 1.26 can't deal with the 533 Dothans. Here's an updated screenie:

hi there guys, ive got a 1.5 2mb dothan cpu (400fsb), im running it on a vdroop + vdimm modded p4p800-e deluxe mobo...

and i jus cnt seem 2 get over 2.4Ghz no matter wat the voltage

i mean anything over 160fsb and my system becomes unstable instantly, altho its stable @ 15x160 = 2.4 with about 1.52v .........

so im starting 2 belive that its somting else holdin me back and not the cpu?

ive tried 2 disable turbo and i still get the same results

also there is a option in the cpu section of the bios, i belive its called "cpu vid" this is set at "62" .... should i change it? of so 2 wat value?

Hi, sorry, if this has been posted before, but this link contains very useful information on size/shape of any heatsink and the actual chip itself

Who do we contact about sticky-fying this thread?

130+ posts in 10 days is a helluva lot better than some of these stickies have done, and just about everyone seems intriged with these Dothans.

I have a P4P800se and used a Banias 1400 to test (I didn't knew if it was updated to the latest bios)
Surprisingly the board boots (bios rev 1005)
So I didn't need a P4 cpu to flash the board :p.
Dunno if a banias will boot on other boards or bios revisions

Just orderd a 2nd ct-479 and 1.6 533fsb m730 dothan and all should be with me wednesday.

The 400fsb 1.6 is going in a silverston tek lc13b HTPC case and i also orderd there own heatpipe cooler too should have some fun mouting that with the ct-479 but will be worth it.

What about other multis? Can you get near 2700 with lower multipliers?

[Malachia]

is a p4p800 deluxe?? (not -e delux or p4p800) how hight can you go with fsb???

[jrw]

Yes. Multi 11 or 12 would be more interesting

[Mauri Antero]

That mobo which Tunex used is coming to me and will tell later the results with 740 dothan

[TuneX]

is a p4p800 deluxe?? (not -e delux or p4p800) how hight can you go with fsb???

Mauri Antero will tell results with lower multiplier later. i'm waiting p4c800e-deluxe and p4c800 mobos now and hopefully we gonna have some LN2 action on 2nd of July... or earlier


EDIT: my mistake... it was P4P800 E Deluxe... sorry

[Malachia]

ah ok...

i am searching for a p4p800 se or c800 but here there is nothing...i will try p800dlx hoping it will work well...

[uclajd]

EDIT: my mistake... it was P4P800 E Deluxe... sorry

K, that's an officially supported board.

[Evilsizer]

im wondering why this thread isnt stickied yet.....

setting 200fsb with the BSEL pins is easy, in 400 mode just sleave or remove BSEL1 and you force a boot at 200fsb.

Now you do that with a 400fsb dothan and you will be forcing a boot at max multi x 200fsb....not good.

What would be a LOT better for us is for Abit to release a bios that supports the dothan on the IC7...now that would get us cooking on gas

I mailed Asus 5 times, they choose to ignore me, i will now try an alternative method of getting them to help us out here.

[Malachia]

the thing really needed is the multi change in bios...

[olDirdey]

Hello to everybody, which Bios are you using for Asus P4P800-E DLX. Can I use 1007.003 from Asus P4P800-E non DLX?

Thank you!

Your efforts are greatly appreciated Sir!
