Wow.. Just away for few days and V4 comming out! Thats rock! S478 long live! Btw, raymond5105 register me on the list! P4 3.0E user here.

Fylon - 3.0E @ 3.6 | Asus P4P800 Deluxe | Kingston 256mb *2 + Hynix 256MB *2 | GeXCube 9800PRO

Lol... Seems like is the mobo which limiting the proc oc ability huh..

Thx ray for the registration! Haha.. Hm.. Was thinking about it. Currently had pump my vcore til 1.45v already. Dont dare too add much due Prescott produce alot of heat. Now running at 3.6 full load almost reach 50'c in hot day. Scare..

Haha.. Well.. Just thought of this after read the article tat ray posted in 2nd post! xD Mobo might be a factor as well. Yup.. I know that. Was thinking of changing my ram and add in a ddr booster in. Lucky my 4 stick ram are all single sided. If double sided, i dont i could reach 3.6Ghz.

Lol.. Kinda satisfy already. Just thought on push more ma. See how much juice can my procs been squeezed! Since is D0 stepping, produce lesser heat (thats what i read from from review), then try lo. Aim higher.. Plan of reaching 3.8Ghz. Heh.. Yea! 3.6Ghz kinda enough for recent game liao. Im playing Dawn of War with this speed and pair with my 98's GC, no lag at all.

Haha.. No la! Where got hardcore. Just to stabilized the ram voltage ma. By then its rare item. I saw 1 on garage sales! Yup.. up vAGP will help on stabilizing the system. That what i did before. But dont up too much lo. Later GC got doomed.

Duh... Already put the loosen one that my ram and mobo. in order to get 3.6 eh. Now is 3-4-4-8. loosen then the ram itself timing. Haha! Play game with 3.6 is very syok already. The gaming loading is FAST!

I guess my procs still can be push more. Since sHawTY can hit 4G with the same procs as mine. I guess mine atleast can hit 3.8 on air! Probably is the ram which limiting the OC wall atm. 4x 256 with single sided ram. One of the chip failed reach the speed already cause the system unstable lo..

So fast! 1st day of V4 has reached 2page! S478 really kicking @ss! Haha.. 3.8Ghz will satisfy me already. Dont worry! Was hunting for better ram now. So can go beyond 3.6Ghz! Lol.. Hm.. How to read north bridge temperature in Asus board? Was wandering about this question. Btw, PI score was use to measure what? Measure the speed of ram?

Hehe.. Depend on the ram & procs as well. If can push higher sure will wanna go beyond 4Ghz! Getting new parts? Thats great bro. Im searching for better ram as well. Haha.. Found Supertalent brand ram in garage. 250 for 1G kit include postage. Is that worth? The ram claim can run at 2-2-2-5 speed wo.. Supertalent or Teem extreme?

Btw, just tried with 3.61G and guess wad.. 10secs prime then restart me! Seems my current ram really hit the wall..

Yea.. Was thinking of take off either 1 pair of the ram and see how was it perform. Should be of the ram chip having problem to reach 241fsb.

Yea.. Found on garage sales! haha.. Hm.. There was 3 performance ram on sales on the moment. Haha.. PQI, TeamExtreme TeemX, and SuperTalent. Was wander which 1 are better then grab it. All the price are in between 250-200 lidat. Hyper X? Heard that it wasnt preform wise wo.. Is that true?

By then was waiting seller reply about the ram. Hehe..

Ar... Still got such problem? BH-5 picky? What do u mean bro? Hm.. Then die lo duno what type of ram to choose.. DDR booster just an option for me. Hehe.. Might wanna get it if the price is cheap.

Ic.. Usually whats the problem will be? The system cannot boot up? Hm.. Sounds scare to me!

Wah.. Learned alot about RAM thiggy! Haha.. Was planning to get a better ram so can go further. Hm.. Need to make consideration before make any purchase. Otherwise bought wrong then worse! P4 system need high speed instead of tight timing? Learned agian. Hah.. yea.. Feel the needs of loosen timing when my rigs go over 230fsb.

Haha.. Shawty bro now cannot la.. Really stuck at 3.6G atm. Cant even prime my system at 3.61G le.. 10secs then system go restart already. Maybe can hit 4G after i change my ram. lol.. 4x 256mb wasnt that good for OC eh. Too many chip on the ram..

@ray, dun wna la.. Dont dare to take the challenge. No fund for getting better ram as im now stuck at 3.6 eh! lol!

There is only 2 games on my pc atm. Dawn of war and RO! LOL.. Was accompanying my gf play that online game. As for myself.. I seldom play game. Unless the game really hooked my interest! Might wan to try LOTR after finish DOW!

Haha.. Gigabyte board huh.. Should be ok with Prescott gem i guess. Try flash the bios to the latest version and try. By then.. Its running on sis chipset. Was that good for OC thou.

Ha.. Dont la.. Later make shame ar! Haha! Yup.. Was planning to take off the kingston ram and see how it perform. Since the other pair ram is hynix D43 chip i bet it can goes beyond 240fsb thou.

Wah.. Advises from 'old folk' eh! Haha.. Jk jk! Thanks for the advise albert. Really learn alot! Tonight go home try with 2 stick hynix and see how it perfrom. Else then gota lower down the ratio. As for me, i prefer to run at full 1:1.. But that kinda hard for 4x stick ram.. Compile excel sheet for OC!? OMG! Thats really pro! Haha! Got do homework type!

Hah.. Dont like that la.. Im scare pals! Haha.. Wanna go out now. Mum ask me fetch her go nearby shopping complex buy thing. Later get home then try to tweak the system.. 2 stick D43 here i go!!!

Oh.. Pity kabu! Haha! Nvm.. Tomorrow is holiz! Can rest a home ma.. Take more rest lo..

Pals.. Welcome to this thread. Hm.. HDD size was determine by ur mobo if im not mistaken. It dont have any connection with processor. As for HDD recommendation, u should ask this question in hardware Q&A section actually. Anyways, as for me, try get Western Digital or seagate also not bad thou.

Guys.. Something strange here. Was reset my system to default and start from scratch, and i found this. On cpu-z my ram was running on FSB400/200Mhz which is preset by the mobo DDR400 speed. But whilte in ctiaw, my ratio was shown as FSB533/133Mhz. Whats happening? Which is the correct one? Thou in FSB400/200Mhz i was having full PAT.



Edit:

Tried with 2x D43. Result as below:

Procs: 3.61Gh @ 1.45vcore
Timing: 3-4-4-8 (the loosen that my mobo can go) @ 2.85vdimm (the max vdimm my mobo can supply)
Divider: 1:1, 3:2, 5:2 (Try all type of ratio already)
Result:

A. 1:1 Ratio @ 30secs after error found for 1st time. Try agian for the 2nd time system go hang and restart.
B. 3:2 Ratio @ 1mins and 19secs after error found. (System stable, no hang nor restart)
C. 5:4 Ratio @ 3mins and 45secs after error found. (System stable, no hang nor restart)

Conclusion: FAILED OC!

LOL.. Dono what happen lo.. Maybe PSU not enough juice? Hm.. Wanna try with the other two TCCC ram agian tonight. See whats the result agian. Hehe.. Hows everyone merdeka eve? Im going to work agian.. No leave thou.. But double pay!

Haha.. Yeap! Weird! tonight post the screenie agian.. Thats weird! CPU-Z says 400:200 but ctiaw says 533:133 with full PAT!

Yea.. tonight wanna try TCCC see how much it can go!

Yea, set on 400mhz tats means on 1:1 ratio. But its weird when get into windows ctiaw detected it as 533:133 while cpu-z detect as 1:1 ratio. Thats what happen to me when i set my speed to default which is 3.0E and with full PAT.. Just home from dinner thou. Guess no chance to test the TCCC ram tonight.

Yea.. mine also having the same problem. I set my vcore at 1.45v but in cpu-z it read as 1.58v. Thats scared me. By then, whenever i run priming software the vcore will automatically drop to 1.34v - 1.45v lidat. Not constant thou. Just run up and down. But when stop priming the vcore will drop back to 1.5xv agian.

P/s: Some side track question to ask here. Dont flame!! Planning to change my HDD. Aiming for WD 160G SATAII. Thou my mobo only have SATA support so i assume the HDD still can be use right? Just it cant run on SATAII speed. Am i right? And 2nd question, if i wanna mixed up the HDD meaning SATA + PATA. And i want it to boot up from my PATA (IDE) HDD, do i need to set jumper for the SATA HDD? Or just change the boot sequence from bios?

Yo pals... Here i am! Having same problem as u do.. That happened to me when i go over 3.6Ghz. Gromacs stress i face no problem. But when go for Large in-place FFTs sure failed within 3mins. Seems like the procs can been stress and not the memory for my system. My vcore was set to 1.85v, vdimm 2.85v, vAGP 2.6v. Still having the same problem.

P/s: Btw colin, which priority are u running on? Mine was on 10. Full stress..

Aiyak.. Sorry! Typo error la.. It should be 1.55v.. By then.. See my new screen! My new result! Hehe.. Guess i found out what stopping me for go beyond 3.6Ghz liao.. Now running at 3.67Ghz! Near 3.7Ghz! Guess i didnt supply enough vAGP last time thus is makes me cant go beyond 3.6Ghz! Tried few time with 1.6v vAGP really makes my system reboot or hang after 30secs priming with priority 10 Orthos. Guess when hit high speed, the north bridge need more juice from PSU in order to maintain and stabilized the system. Seems like is not my D43 and TCCC ram fault. Blame the wrong part..



Setting as below:

Running at: 3.67Ghz @ FSB245*15
RAM ratio : 3:2 (Well.. havent try on run at 1:1 thou, but can archived 3.67Ghz with 3:2 count ok already for me. )
vcore: 1.5375v (lower down from 1.55v)
vdimm: 2.85v
vAGP: 1.8v (Taking rise with max up the vAGP and i got some surprise! )
Full load: 56-57'c (Kinda high for me.. Will try to adjust my cable management agian.. )
North Bridge: 42'c
GC: 58-60'c (Jumping up and down thou.. and i didnt OC the card yet!! ! Max vAGP really heat up my GC)

Result:

Satisfy with this result. 3.8Ghz on the way! Although prime for 2hrs only but it can last so long without restart really make me happy like picked gold at road side!

colin, if u're dare enough like me. Try max up ur vAGP and try prime agian. I bet this will be something good happened on ur rigs. See my result above..


Pals.. seems like ur 12v rails wasnt that stable. What PSU ur using at the moment?

might be reading error? Haha.. Try clear ur cmos and see hows the things go. Btw, what mobo are u using ac_N1?
