Hello eveybody!!!
I'm almost sure nobody's going to see this post, but anyway, I have to try it.
I'm looking for the 1009 beta 003 bios for my P4P800SE, but it looks like it had never existed... every link I find is empty...
Does anyone of you have this? Can you email it to me?
Thanks in advance for even reading this...

Wellcome to XS!!

If it is good in 1009-004 or 1010-001, there are...

this beta bios exist and runs on my rig at the moment!

Thanks for the wellcoming...
I don't know what you mean with this... My english is very bad and I don't understand...
I'm looking for 1009-003 because I've read of the unlocked multiplier, but I can't find a valid link.
Does these bioses also have the unlocked multiplier?

pvhk, can you please email me the bios? xxx@xxx.xxx

Thanks you 2 for all...

Hi odefruto,

Yes,1009-004 can change the multiplier.
1009-004 also have unlocked multi.
I have 1009-004 now, please tell me if you need this.

Using now my second-PC at 1009-004, P4P800SE, M750 with CT-479.
Now working 200x12 @2.4GHz Vcore1.28V.

In BIOS,
Advanced→JumperFree Configration→Mobile CPU Ratio.
Can change the multiplier with this menu.

Cheers!

Hi Omega3,
That's exactly what I'm looking for... I have a M760 and want to use 200FSB (my memory doesn't like OC) without overclocing too much (I'm thinking of 12x or 13x). If you could email me the bios, it would be perfect... xxx@xxx.xxx
Thanks for all...

Hi odefruto,


OK, I sent to you.

Cheers!

[odefruto]

Thanks OMEGA3, I've got it!!!

Hello there,

I'm new to this great site. Look my results with a cheap M715, I'm quite happy so far. No way to get above 168Mhz.

good for a 715.
whats the rest of the configuration?

[micheld1]

P4P800 bios 1021.006 (beta)
2x512Mb DDR PC3200
Geforce 6600 256Mb
Disks: 2x200Gb & 2x300Gb all SATA
Plextor PX-755A
Lian-Li PC60

XP Pro SP2

Any way to get this mobo higher than 168Mhz?

[odefruto]

Hi again everybody.
I've another CT479 and I can get an almost free Celeron M430, I think Celeron M4xx series is compatible but I'm not sure.
Do you know whether it is compatible?
Thanks.

Lately I discovered that a 0501 BETA BIOS is available for P4GPL-X motherboard. Since I have two P4GPL-X boards running I'm interested whether the BIOS has any benefits over the official 0401. Anyone who knows - please post!

As a sidenote: Celeron M4xx srs uses the same rewired socket as Core Duos. Thus I believe that it will not work with adapter.

[odefruto]

Thanks 459, after what I've read, I think you are right. M4xx are Yonah instead of Dothan based, and I don't think they are supported by CT-479.

Hello, there`s a way to get more on those 7x5 CPUs, Kamerat on this forum got some celeron way beyond that too (it`s the same trouble with the Celly-Ms and Pentium Ms that are 100FSB stock). Some soldering to the 3.3V are the way to go.

Hello CT479 / XS Community....

First sry for my bad english.... i will do my very best to explain my problem.

First my System facts:
P4C800 Deluxe Bios 1021.005 Beta
2x 512 Winbond BH5 (Twinmos)
Pentium M 740

I found the CT479 Mod by Hipro in this forum.
Cause of my miserable soldering knowlegde, I buy a ready-modded Adapter.... Hipro Mod + VCCA mod

And thats my problem:
with my unmodded adpater, my system can boot with 210x13= 2730 (it wasnt rockstable at all, but 24h prime stable.... very rare reboots or freezes)
VCore was in BIOS @ 1,6V (CPUz 1,576)
24/7 settings: 201x13 @ 1,376

Now with the modded one, the highest clock is under 203x13=2639 @ 1,576V
And i have to increase Vcore to 1,475V for my 24/7 settings.

What did I wrong?
VCCA is on 1,931V.... should I adjust it to 2,2v or higher?

Neither adpater FSB nor RAM are the limited factors.... I tested it with lower multiplier an divider.... so the problem must be on the adapter... because the CPU boot at 210x13....

Any details or ideas?
I hope you can help me....

In last consequence, i have to rebuild my system with the unmoedded adapter... but i hope it will be not necessary

Greez loopy

UPDATE: my settings @ time are 201x13 @ 1,408V => reboot.... "Head => table"

Try to reseat your heatsink. It may be overheating. Also, did you perform the Vdroop mod for the P4C800-Deluxe MB? Your cpu may not be getting enough volts to go up that high.

My P4C800-DLX had the vdroop mod which made the system very stable. I was also running a Pentium M 740 @ 2.9 GHZ. I'm running on a non-modded adapter.

I think it's time to revisit the Dothan again!

[loopy83]

my temps are very ok.... idle 28 and load 34.... cooled by a sonic tower @ sandwitch

my board is complete unmodded....

but it makes no sense.... same settings, same hardware (excluding the adapter) so i have to search the mistake on the adapter.
with my unmoddded adapter i can boot with 210x13 and 1,576V Vcore.... with the modded it dont work... same board

any other proposals??
Thanks....

Up the vcore to 1.6 or a little more. I had to set it at that to boot at 220x13. The drooping in the MB made it unstable for any power use (CPU @ 100&#37 until I performed the vdroop mod. Also, make sure your PCIE frequency is also set to Target FSB/2.2 to stabilize the system. Mine is set at 110 right now.

[loopy83]

Its a AGP Board
PCI/AGP is fixed..... I will try CT479 Jumper @ 400....

[MacClipper]

Has anyone done a successful S3 sleep and resume with their CT-479/Dothan setup? Seems S3 resume can no longer be done. All I can find is someone else asking the same thing sometime back,

http://www.motherboardpoint.com/t210...m-adapter.html

[loopy83]

S3: OC failure and then 3 times on-off ??
I have done it.... very often.... Board P4C800 Dlx... 1021.005 BIOS

[Muffin_man]

Did I get a lousy chip? I have a 740 on a P4C800 with the latest beta bios, allowing mem dividers and vcore adjustment, but I only get 2460mhz stable on default vcore - but I do not get one single mhz more from raising vcore. Cooled by a CNPS7000ACU @ 5v.

Mem divider used so this is not my PC3200 sticks making trouble. My not very impressive overclocking result could of course be due to a bad chip, but since i max out at default vcore i suspect there is something else that stops me from pushing the 740 further. Any ideas what that could be?

EDIT: If i exeed the speed described above the board freezes @ post screen. This also happens if i use lower mp and higher fsb to get past ~2.4 ghz.

[oohms]

A lot of dothans get stuck at ~2.4 ghz
