i doubt i'll go to vista anytime soon.not much of a difference for me and still alot of incompatibility with softwares.

maybe i'll wait till SP1 or 2 comes out

gonna install my Ultra90 soon.and hopefully able to push my proc higher

if your proc suck in OCability then its no use also if you get good coolers and etc
Pray hard, my friend, may the OC force be with you

I think is limitation is the mobo itself,use the Asus P4P800-X.The original northbridge cooler runs hot when loading,this is also one of the factor as it's just a passive cooling heatsink.Second thing is the Vdimm,only 2.685V max with the bios setting.

I dont think you are poor.. You got alot of high end 478 stuff. Not cheap at all when it released last time. haha.

If you have the space, dont sell your old 478 rig. Just not worth it. I dont feel good when i selling mine

This PSU is good enough for 478 but not for c2d and 8800gts. Now even with default speed, the 12v rail almost dry up already. I am so worry now. Dont know can stand till Silverstone OP650 arrive end of this month or not. haha.

478 still can support vista if you have the right spec. 1.5gig ram at least and a direct9.0c GC. can stand for another few years unless you are into high end game else a major overhaul is not needed.


yeah... 478 still rocks despite its ages.

aiya... shouldnt get the Ultra 90. it probably good enough for 478 but when u upgrade to c2d. you will need to buy a new one.

Oh man seriously i am not rich but those high end stuff i was also getting those 2nd hand one,not new one. And for me i think the S478 is good enough for me right now since i still not going to do any projects that require high processing power. Opps,i forgot that you are using the 8800GTS on your C2D man.Definately the Acbel I-Power 450W is not enough for your monster.Your 12V rail drops until how low?Just curious to know as mine also will be staying at 11.7-11.8V stages now.

Oh I see..... Ya, if didnt use that much power, no point getting a c2d. Kind of overkill for alot of program. hehe..

Really want to see mine ar... Let's me print screen and show you. I am so worry now.

Guys, who have any info about P4 s478 3GHz 800FSB Prescott? I wanna know the price range right now. Thanx.

Thanks man.

yeah.i think that my old msi mobo is way better then this p4p800x.was rock stable with almost all at default values but clocked at 2.82ghz and i've already changed the TIM on the northbridge heatsink.

wow irangan that's really low dude can be quite dangerous..ur +5v is also abit too high imo..


ps.just installed my Ultra90 + 90mm Evercool LED fan and the temps went down to 34c idle from 38c

totally agreed with you. p4p800x really limited oc settings.

nice. have you push higher? i lazy push mine but seems ok with the temp after prime for 6 hours after installed.

bravo on the new low temp

just a matter of time before we shift to the darkside...

that temp is to be expected from 3 Ghz range

Yeah, but its worth noting that his P4 is Prescott, 2.4 oc to 3Ghz, ain't the new temp obtained from the new cooler something nice to achieve compared to stock/regular cooler?

will try to push higher soon.but my mobo temp is worrying me.now im gettin like 38c

last time b4 using this ultra90 the temps reached a low of 33c and average 35c dont know whats happening.could it be the hot ambient temp of my room?


btw,nice temps there on full load

not extreme oc la, but silent and cooler worth more. hmm, mobo temp higher than before? maybe the aor flow is different from last time, stock hfs blow down, ultra90 blow side. perhaps the warm air from ultra rise up mobo temp. Just my 2 cent.

My mobo temp decrease to 33c. Coz the big fan just above it. hehe.....

yeah thats what i thought at first..dang looks like my Aero4 actually did more then just hsf cooling

ps.this temps is with the side panel left open. i've noticed that lately my ambient temp has risen quite alot

if close side panel, nows the temp?

havent tried yet,will put it back later..sigh.i guess that's the price to pay for using those kind of hsf.

now im scared to oc my comp,knowing that the temps are quite high already

wow.. after so many years there's still a thread dedicated for P4.

can I be in the list? (I know, I'm like 5 years late)

cpu-z id: 176845

P4 2.8C@3.5Ghz
512MB*2 Corsair XMS3200Pro @ DDR400 2-2-2-5-1
P4P800 Deluxe
BFG Geforce 6800GS

you might be a tad late but your PC specs are really good


i've just tried to close my sidepanel and it wont close the Ultra90 is blocking it.that's if i have a fan on the side panel lah.

damnit now my GPU ambient temps are higher then usual.heck,my whole PC's temp is higher then usual

Wao crazy man drops to 10V + only? Can't imagine it. You really need a replace on the PSU,too dangerous.Then your 8800GTS working fine or not with the PSU ? Got insufficuent power problem?
