    Prescott 478 - What's your max stable vcore?

    With your socket478 & Prescott, Considering more than enough cooling provided, what's your max stable vcore without pushing the clock too much? What's the max vcore can Asus P4C800 take?.. or is it the Prescott CPU?

    List your system spec too plizz..

    I read in another thread here that the max vcore you can supply a Prescott on the P4C800 is 1.6v. Anything higher than that requires a vcore mod.
    Less is more.

    np dude

    What variation of the 478 Prescott are you playing with? I was thinking of picking up a 3.0e 478, but would only do so if they are consistently hitting 4GHz. I know the 2.4a's are great clockers .

    As I posted in my problem thread "p4c800-e oc probs" I believe there is a board/bios or chip failsafe that prevents boot if anything above 1.6 is selected in BIOS.

    I have 0.125v undervolt ... when I set 1.6 -> 1.475 actual -> boot fine ... rock solid stable.

    When I set 1.625 -> should be only 1.5 acutal -> no post

    EDIT-> this is with a 3.4E

    yea it's a 3.2e.. i forgot what stepping it was..
    seems to be a nice chip. It really loves my supercooling. managed to do 4.3ghz prime and game stable.

    Turned out that the lack of vdimm volts caused random instabilities when hard gaming for hrs..
    This system needs a lot of vdimm volts for my memory. Mem clk is only at 215 but at tight timing, but needs a lot of volts to get it very stable. but man it's voltage hungry. :banana4:

    O Charlie,

    nice...


    what enabled you to run it at 1.95v? was it the vcore mod or something else? .. or is this the Asus thing that doesn't accept >1.6v? input plz.
