The memory controller that Granite Bay uses is the same one used in Plumas (E7500) and Placer (E7505). Springdale/Canterwood's (i865/i875) memory controller is a new design based upon the Brookdale-G (i845G) memory controller. Canterwood is basically Springdale with no gfx, ECC support, and...
I'm CPU-limited though, PJ seems to have an issue with the P4-M and 8INXP which limits his OC. I bet if my CPU was up to it I could hit 190-195MHz without a problem. I should be able to get my mitts on some 2.26 C1's in a few weeks and hopefully I'll get an even better 2.26 than the one I have...
My Asus P4G8X Deluxe goes as high as my CPU lets it - 180MHz FSB. Here are some benchmark numbers in case you're interested..............
GB180 Benchmark Results
Asus P4G8X Deluxe, 180MHz FSB (720FSB), Pentium 4 2.26B @ 3.06GHz (1.65v), Kingmax PC2700 DDR SDRAM @ DCDDR360 (CAS2/2/2/5 Turbo...
I've seen a couple of instances where people have got their GA-8INXPs above 175MHz. One guy hit 200MHz and a hardware site (using the F2 BIOS) reached 183MHz, you can read about that here (scroll to the bottom of the page). Have you got some ASIII or something on that MCH HSF? What's on there at...
What goes wrong exactly? I thought you could select up to 200MHz (in 1MHz steps) in the BIOS? The TBreak review hit a maximum 170MHz FSB with their 235MHz-capable unlocked P4 but they didn't mention a specific bug.:confused:
Hope you can get it sorted, maybe a new Beta BIOS will do the trick?
That's a great idea. You could have a 'maximum FSB test' using a P4-M and see how high a FSB speed the MCH can manage. Those P4-Ms should be easily capable of 220MHz+ and that'll probably find the limit of the MCH before the CPU.:)
My extremely reliable Intel source says that Springdale+Canterwood will launch at around the same time this year as i845G did last year. That means around the end of May - about 4 month's time (as long as there are no problems or delays). It should be well worth waiting for though. Yes, it...
I think they mean the DPS (Dual Power System) module. You can read all about it here.
Running it in dual-power (6-phase) mode should be quite beneficial when using very high-speed P4s (3.5GHz+) because it'll keep the voltage regulators much cooler. For the truly hardcore overclocker taking...
That's a good point. If I had a hat it'd be off to PJ for giving this a go - for the benefit of GB owners everywhere!! This is a situation where I'd be very happy to be wrong.:)
The main difference between Canterwood and Springdale is that Canterwood has a special 'turbo' mode that improves performance by decreasing system memory latencies. It decreases those latencies by providing a bypass route through the MCH for memory transfers between CPU and main memory. All you...
A word of warning guys............
From the reviews I've seen of the E7205 chipset I'm not convinced that it's the best chipset for ultra-high FSB speeds. I've only seen 200MHz FSB achieved once and nothing higher than that. With unlocked P4s, the maximum FSB speeds in dual-channel mode were in...
Are you talking to me or PJ? We're both maxing-out at 1.65v by the looks of it.:)
My P4G8X Deluxe overvolts while the system is idle.
eg. When BIOS is set to 1.60v vcore the actual reading is 1.68v!!!
Then, when under load the vcore reading drops to almost exactly the same as the BIOS...
