Dothan screams like scalded CAT!!!

oc'ed dothan 2.0 + sp-94 + panaflo l1a undervolted =

[felinusz]

I want to see what one of these will do under Phase, or very good watercooling.

With better on-board features, we could be looking at the next great overclocker's chip. From what I have read, it is all about the motherboard at this point.

Better motherboards = better memory performance/limits. Better memory performance/limits = better across-the-board performance

Heck you might not even need the panaflo in a well vented case.

That's what I'm most interested in about Dothan.. Building a truley silent SSF box that can still perform. Need to fiqure out something with Vcards though.

That BFG I have you can literally hear in the next room.

DFI's new board.



I have word Asus maybe doing a board also thats 915 based with Dual ddr1 support.

what is wrong with this picture?, i see 2 ide channels and no second controller

[Mathias-K]

Will that fix these problems?



All due to memory right?

I think Charlie's talking about jumping from SC FSB100/133 to DC FSB200, which would accelerate the Dothan quite dramatically - just look at how it reacts to going from 1:1 to 3:4

Uhm, on the picture it says 852/855 GME on the right side of the socket... so this isn't a DFI with 915 chipset but the pro moddel of DFI's i855 board, the one fugger reported about earlier, right?

[sky]

right,

oh and bigtoe... any chance to get a bit more info on that asus 915 with dc-ddr1? that sounds like a true winner right there.

I cant wait for dual channel on the Dothan. We need a new King of the Hill.

Yep - will be a nice one, but does it work like this:

[reject]

i made a post about this in the news section and it disappered
sonoma is better than nforce4, not sure how AMR compares
but in aust, 400 for 725 dothan 1.7g and another 400 for the aopen. god knows how much the new one wil be

[macci]

...but reconfiguring the cpu die to accept higher fsb, more bandwidth and so on isn't something that can happen instantly.
There are documented issues that stopped the release of speeds of dothans initially as they couldn't get certain fsb's working, i can't remember exactly but i think the dothan was supposed to be a 200Mhz fsb part, but it simply wouldn't work at that, in single channel, so was released at a lower fsb. SO there are issues there.

Really?

Nothing wrong w/ Dothan and high FSB

[saaya]

hmmm thats odd, i thougt those chips can only do 200fsb max?
is this a new revision or was the chipset limiting after all and not the cpu interface?

[macci]

The original Dothan mobos (like DFIs i855 and AOpen i855) couldn't run high FSB.
Now with the adapter and i865/875 mobos things seem to be totally different.

[saaya]

ahhh so it was the chipset after all! good to know
i should get one of those boards with adapter then and see what my old 1.4ghz banias can do ^^

it survived all those tests with my homebuilt pentium m adapter that i never managed to finish ^^
time to let it have some fun after all those months of torture

I figure this might be the thread to ask the following question, what is the average OC for dothan's on air, and does initial speed make much of a difference. The reason I ask is people have found a way to OC dell 9300 notebooks, by grounding a pin on the 400 mhz fsb variants which allows:
1.5 ghz to 2.0 ghz
1.6 ghz to 2.13 ghz
1.7 ghz to 2.26 ghz
1.8 ghz to 2.4 ghz

since you can only go to one speed (this is partly true) you must be stable at the higher speed. Anyway people have had very good results up to 2.13 ghz with some success at 2.26 ghz, but 2.26 ghz and 2.4 ghz is not very consistent....I'm just wondering if this good be a PSU issue or is it necessarily a processor issue?

Or a heat issue...after all it is in a confined notebook.
