Dothan @ CT-479 - howto and fixes.

[uclajd]

I'd like to see how you are mounting the Chilly block, since I have one. Any pics?

Cooling is as said before an OVERKLOKK modded Mach II with Chilly1 evap.. Approx -50 deg C evap temp/-25c load without Ricky mod, and approx -15 load with Ricky mod.. It is truly a nice little mach

Have a look at this thread, same way someone used to mount Vapochill LS (stoolman is Eel at XS).

[rozzyroz]

i did some tweaking and got over 31k now... still under 2.4ghz

[stergiopilus]

anyone ever tried adding a P4's IHS on the Dothan to protect the core? Does it fit nicely, meaning, no more modding needed, just put the IHS on top of dothan, secure it, and fit a HSF?

I have tried, but it seems that the Dothan core is slightly higher than the P4 core, so there is a bit of a gap around the edges. I will still be using it when i mount the vapochill on though, is better than the bare core.

[uclajd]

Yeah, that's what I was planning on. Was just looking for something different.

New CPU PM770, new OVERKLOKK modded prommie for the videocard.. (Haven't voltmodded the videcard yet though..)
Gotta repeat myself.. dothan rocks..!

And, i have insulated the adapter and the socket for Chilly1 evap in a different way now.. works great..
here are some results..




This is getting more fun day by day!

nice, nice, nice..........

So the higher binned 770 outperformed you earlier CPU?

thanks for the answer. what do you plan to use to level/fully fit the IHS on the core?

Does anyone know how to get clockgen to work in ghost mode.
I'm using P4P800SE motherboard.

It freezes on me when I run it in ghost mode.
I created a save.txt with the following lines:
[CG-ICS952607]
FSB=225
AGP=66

I'm able to set it manually in clockgen but when I use the save.txt file it freezes my system. Can someone tell me what I'm doing wrong.

Yep, sure did... by far actually.. i only had a about half an hour to bench last night..so i would assume that the 770 is good for a lot more.... i am going to test Dry Ice tomorrow to see if i can push 21 seconds in superpi

[uclajd]

How you mounting your phase to the GPU?

After a long satisfying benchnight I got to this:



~2750 seems to be the CPU max.

Right here Im balancing my ~250max Mushkin LVL2 BH5 quite nicely.

Oh, 7700 on the CPU, 40 load @ 1.6vcore, 3.5vdimm.

From here on, its tweaks-only I guess

Now running in diag mode + priority only.

I'll get that 25sec!

(Broke 27K in 3d01 with my dusty non-modded 9800Pro on air but it needs more work)

Hey guys! I'm going to buy an dothan setup too But i must choose now between 2 boards: The P4P800SE and the P4GD1. Is the P4P800SE really a pain in the ass or not? I think the P4GD1 is the best choise but the P4P800SE is really cheap for me so... What board should I take ?

[Always]

Keep in mind p4gd1 has no pci locks above 220FSB, I'm also willing to got that route. Check this by Kamerat, many hints 'bout the p4gd1 http://home.no.net/comerade/pc/p4gd1.html

He used pci-e freqs up to 225Mhz

Hmmmm........Do you remember how high and with how much VCore did this CPU went?...Thanks......

So i could better take the P4P800SE or sucks that board too
I'm going to buy Pentium M740 with Watercooling

A new BIOS for Asus P4P800-X showed up yesterday.
Can't find any info about CT-479 support though.

If you can live without PAT the P4P800SE is just fine (You can have PAT up to 200FSB, but you need to boot at 201+FSB to get AGP/PCI locked).

Besides PAT my earlier P4P800SE clocked equally good to the P4C800-E DLX I have now. Actually, it went all the way past 300FSB, which is more than my current board can.

I sold my second hand almost new P4P800SE for the same price I gave for an older P4C800-E DLX. If you can find such a deal go for the P4C800-E DLX.

I'll add that to the front page when someone reports something

This is how i mount a chipset block (made by eleven) to my dothan - p4c800-e deluxe mobo.
Temps at 2800(rock stable) with 1,5vcore are 36 idle and 43 full load.

[Always]

Reffering to the p4gd1 mobo, what's the best DDR ram to pair with 915P chipset?

[DaWaN]

I think BH-5 just because i915 can't hit very high FSB because of lack of PCI lock

Btw, so the P4P800SE is fine with Dothan (740)? And the P4P800 suck don't they? I just want some confirm because i don't want to buy a bad motherboard

[nathan400]

is it possible to flash my P4C800-DLX(non-e) with the newest P4C800E-DLX BIOS with all the voltage/multiplier options?

[Stoolman]

Finally I am in the 40k club... thanks to the wonderful Dothan initiative from Intel, and the brilliant idea of the CT adapter from Asus.. My new 770 processor clocks real well, and my new OVERKLOKK modded prommie for the videocard really rocks....
here are the clocks and the scores..
btw; used EIST to increase mltpl, CG to increase fsb, 875/865 tweaker to tighten ram settings.. and of course two prommies modded by OVERKLOKK with R507...@-45 C
