P5P800, SL7PU 530J = "little monster"

[Supertim0r]

ill vmod the board by monday...
vdroop with a HIGH quality trimmer/pot + vmod with a on/off switch
wish it will be better

[charlie]

so far i'm not happy with memory related problems. i can prime with the stress the cpu option near 4ghz, but when i hit blend, i can only go like 3750. i've tried lots of sticks and haven't found anything that gets along with the p5p800.

that's awesome! on AIR???

yes, with the boxed cooler
the cpu is good, i will put it under dry ice.
the mainboard is beautiful, fsb at 282 with 1,6 volt on agp

my OCZ Plat Rev2 will do 270 memtest stable @ 2.65v but the damn multi wont work properly !!!

btw Charlie, i tried 5 530J & 4 540J on my AS8 and no 530J prime stable, 2 540 stable with 1.6v

me love 640 <3

Vcore drop on AS8 boards are a BIG problem, tried a 530 and a 540 cpu and none of them were totally stable at 4.0Ghz (more than 12 hours of 2 prime smallFFT sessions), same cpu's are rock solid on an Asus P5GD2 with just 1.4v.

Perhaps mosfet cooling can do something there, I didn't try it.

Now with the same 540 cpu on my new AA8XE it needs 1.475v on bios to be totally stable, when stressed uGuru software shows vcore readings of 1.42-1.44v.

I stopped messing with it and I'm back on my 3000+ @ 2700mHz 24/7....
I like it a LOT more than the Intel.
I'm thinking about what to do with the 530j, 630 and the p5p800....
For me to feel satisfaction with the Intel, I need decent ram that'll do 270+ 1:1 no worse than 2.5-3-3...
I really don't want to drop the $$$ for a 925xe board and ddr2.

//edit:
i sold my water blocks and bought a mach

There is a VERY eazy vdroop mod for AS8, it keeps my 3.2@4ghz voltaga stable @ 1.5

4ghz isn't enough !!!

I only have water cooling and I can only do it 258FSB with 1.52V. And that's the max voltage ppl advice me to run my pressy....

[charlie]

I have a lot of faith in Intel's new little 6xx line of CPU's... however, the memory problems hurt me... waiting for a primo set of sticks...
My new 630 just LOVES to run... ON AIR!!

//edit:
but ..... only screen stable ?

[b|lly]

OMG, that's 630 on AIR ?

I want one of those!

I haven't been able to get this mod to work yet, I've soldered to two different locations and it doesn't seem to work either way. An EXACT location of which points to solder and what value resistance would be helpful.

Charlie + z1erer: Do you mind sharing the FPO/Batch of your wonder CPUs? A friend of my got a 630, week 38 of 2004 which only overclocks to 4GHz on water. Pretty crappy compared to your numbers
