Dothan @ CT-479 - howto and fixes.

[runmc]

Go to the Asus website to get drivers, bios, utilities.

Just look at the menu across the top - ASUS

The link is very slow and may not take you exactly where I was sending you - Asus is busy You may have to find your way

This is a great thread! (and nice to see a dane taking initiative here on XS )

But i think the info on the different supported boards is confusing. How are multiplier adjustments on the P4P800SE for example? What about making a consistent list of info, like this (example):

Vcore = Up to 1.8V
Vdimm = Up to 2.85V
Multi = 6 - CPU-MAX

And repeated in on all the boards. I see alot of users confused about what board to get, if the P4P800-E DLX is better than the P4P800SE and such questions

No multis in bios with p4p800se. Also Vcore is 1.6 max in bios.

I have 2x thermochill 120.2 and a mcp650 pump.
the 6800gt has a nv68 on it so it runs a lot cooler too.

the system would be quiet if it was not for the high pitch wine of the mcp650
but the way my rads are built into the base of the case i plan to noise insulate around them with he pump in the middle.

rads in case

I have a feeling that it wont go much higher from what i am seeing here once thay hit that wall thats it but it will be fun to try.

The P4P800-SE does not have multi adjustment in the latest (009) bios, just vcore (I do hope they wil get it at some point) and ratio (more options above 200 FSB) as well as vmem. You need to adjust the multi using a Windows utility. CPUMSR works for me, haven't gotten EIST to work (anybody? Bueller?).

Sweet! Nice frriggin price too. Gotta love auctions. Come to think of it, I still have my TEC sitting around, but with a Vapo and a cascade, what's the point? N/B?

You should have no probs cooling that with a 120x2 fan raddy, since that's about 200 watts. It will give off some heat to the room though, 'specially if you have a hot video card (Jesus H those 6800s are hot). And damn, I just noticed how much friggin' heat HDDs give off, since they are all sitting outside of my case now.

One sweet thing Lee, your system should be high performance but also very quiet.

P4P800-SE never did have multiplyer change in bios... only -VM.

By "never" you mean in its 478 incarnation?

I don't see why they couldn't at some point, since all of these P4Ps seem to be able to digest any P4P bios...

[kiko]

w/ my 725 and P4P800D (1007.003 bios) i hit a wall at 159.9 FSB Pi MOD 1.4 stable.
160.5=no go. :/

I had a question, i'm trying to get my p4c800-e and 730 dothan up and running. Who i got it from did not send the retail box and therefore it doesn't have the cd's. I was having some trouble locating the chipset drivers (that worked) and the audio drivers. I went to intel.com and downloaded some for the 875p, but those didn't work for some reason. Any help would be appreciated. Also, dunno if its the board or what, but it was having a lot of trouble reading the lite-on dvd drive and my WD 160gb HD. Thanks again

Easiest way to obtain working software for your P4C800-E board is to grab them here in the download section.

[JamesAvery22]

No I havent. I've looking to see if some other P4P800 SE users have similar problems... It seems to do it using both bioses (offical and beta). I'll try with my other board (Celeron in it now) and see what results it gives.

It boots at 201 and is rock solid at 240 (x10) right this moment.



Thanks

So you can boot at 201 now? Thought you couldnt boot past 155?

[Ychocky]

So you can boot at 201 now? Thought you couldnt boot past 155?

Yeah, anything between 153 and 176 does not boot.

201 seems to be working fine.

2.4 is no problem with multiplier at 10 or 12.

Haven't tried to go any further than 240 in clockgen. I'm scared

2 Questions
Are there any programs that allow you to change voltage from windows
Are there any places that sell headsinks for the dothan that i dont have to zip tie to the mounting clip or any hassel like that

[jrw]

Read the frontpage!

Not that I know of.
Read the front page for tips on easiest non-stock aircooling.

[gclg2000]

Here's a couple recent dothan testing from me.

P4c800e flashed to p4p800
M 730 533fsb
DDR booster
OCZ 600w
XP Pro
No 3dmark tweaks or windows tweaks. Going to get some more runs in soon, w/ a better tweaked windows install and etc hopefully.

[illmatik]

gclg,

What cooling are you running to get the 3ghz clock? Is that a 24x7 stable clock or just benching speed?

where does your 730 come from: philippines or malaysia? Did you managed to boot directly at >190fsb?

just bought a p-m kit, it should arrive here in about 2 weeks. can't wait to start "playing"

How many volts to the memory?

[Stoolman]

I've done some testing recently.. and i would say that the results are not too shabby.. Using a PM 750, on a P4C800-E dlx fully modded, with the simple U-wire mod, Eist to increase multiplier, clockgen to increase fsb. Using the 1022.003 bios.. And of course... an OVERKLOKK modded Mach II with Chilly1 Evap...







After trying to figure out what to insulate with, and how to get it 100%, we just said f**k it, and used vaseline... works like a charm... The hooks are some ceiling hooks, slightly modded, works perfect..
My plan was to post some 3d mark 01 results.. butr unfortunatly i just killed my x800xt pe last night, so i guess that will have to wail till tomorrow, when my new x800xt pe arrives... Managed 36k last night with stock speed on the video card.. but unfortunatly no pics

Heres my shot of 27sec superpi

did yours do 27secs at this?

i cant find the modde superpi so if someone has the link ill re run the test at 2.6ghz.

*edit* the screeny is a shot of my rig

I've had this conversation before, but it wasn't about computers.

Good to hear... means I'm not alone...

Updated the frontpage with all new results. Please let me know if I forgot any

Lets show how well our Dothans do in the Extreme Grand Prix!

Go go go

I am having some AGP lock issues on the P4P800SE with my X800 XTPE, despite booting at 200. Anyone know a workaround?

I'm ready to murder.
