P4GPL-X + Dothan OC problems

[HITAC]

Hi...

I have got a P4GPL-X + 1.6Ghz Dothan and I only want to have FSB225, but it is impossible

Hardware:
P-M 730 SL85G @stock cooler
P4GPL-X without Mods
2x SATA HDD
X700PRO PCIe
2x512MB Twinmos BH5



Max. stable FSB with PCIe @ 100 is 215 !
216 MHz = Freeze or Reboot after ~1-5h (while gaming Doom3)
220 MHz = very, very unstable and freeze in BIOS or post screen
225 MHz = NO BOOT

PCIe @ 105 Mhz:
225 MHz = NO BOOT


wtf???

[Kamerat]

Tried run your memory in async mode and increasing chipset voltage?

[HITAC]

Yes - ram @5:4 and all voltages @max (not CPU but it is enough too )

max. FSB is still at 215 Mhz...

[Kamerat]

Have you seen results from other overclockers that use the P4GPL-X? Your CPU a B1 or C0?

some....

FSB240.... up to 290

but never 215

Your CPU a B1 or C0?

C0

At this point IMHO you should try another video card...
Maybe this mobo (first time I heard of this model ) has an issue in the agp lock.

its a pci-e mobo not agp

looks like another interesting alternative for the ct-479... if we could get a decent PCI-E board that supports ct-479, we could run 7800gtx!!!!

Tried raising PCIE over 100mhz?

Tried raising PCIE over 100mhz?

of course


last time i tried:
pcie 120 MHz -> sata not found
pcie 115 Mhz -> sata found, but 220 Mhz fsb is still not stable

fsb 215 works rockstable again

[^don.k's^]

What FSB is set in the CT 479? I get better fsb with jumpers in fsb400 than fsb533. If already tried, go try another memory and good luck...

[charlie]

try benching with IDE HDD!!

C

[sky]

try using this formula to calculate the necessary pcie frequency:

pcie x 2.2 = fsb

so if you want an fsb of ~225 mhz you should try somewhere around 102 mhz pcie
- maybe try 100-104 mhz, whatever works (best)

[charlie]

so what's better, P4GD1 or P4GPL-X????????

C

[^don.k's^]

I think the P4GD1, i own one, and i think it could do good things... But not so good like 865/875...

[Venom21]

so what's better, P4GD1 or P4GPL-X????????

C

I'll say the P4GD1 to. it is based on the 915P that overclocks better than the Intel 915PL chipset.

and if you will use a booster on a P4GPL-X you will loose your Dual channel since it only has 2 DDR dimms.

the 7800 GTX runs great with an oc dothan on the P4GPL-X

you have to put the PCIe frequency to 123 MHz, so you can get 270 MHz FSB.



here are my results with the 7800 GTX and a P-M @ 3,15 GHz






both with GTX @ default

Looking great

[marvt74]

Woah first time i've seen a dothan with a pci-e looking great. Be nice to get some sli action though

Wow, I wish either of these boards were available in America.

Only problem is that there is none SLI PM mobos there so dream on But great idea non the less

[^don.k's^]

Will 4x512 UTTBH run fine on the p4gd1?? Anyone tried??I'm thinking on it but only have 2 sticks ATM and don't want to buy another gig who couldn't run fine....

[Waus-mod]

Ive seen people that set ther pci-e to 105 and suddenly the vga dies because of the increasement. Hope it isnt so

Please give more details!!!! You're the only one we "know" running this configuration, give us all the details and tweaks!!
I bet you're on an IDE HDD right??
