>>> Asus P4G8X-D <<<

[jhites]

Still waiting on my board, since ordering on Wednesday. :|

Shows to be out for delivery today, finally.

Geeezzze Thugs - you are half a continent further (Texas/Florida from California)
and you get yours first.

That's what I get for being cheap and using free shipping.

How's that 200 coming? I was thinking that the chipset might be more stable
and give you a higher OC than you were getting on your P4B533.

Thugsrook, good luck, scores look great so far!!

Did the det 40 drivers not work out for you?

 

[THUGSROOK]

all the det 40s do nothing but crash crash crash.
the 4180s were doing really good ~ but they also randomly crash for no reason.
det 40 quality leaves much to be desired too.

ran M86 last night ~ passed 195fsb easily with turbo on
still gotta work on 200........

Schweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet!

Thanks for the info Thugsrook...are you gaining any ground on 200fsb? At what point are you gonna plug your 2.26b in?

What's your overall opinion of the board so far?

if i dont get 200 tonight, its getting pulled ~ then im going over to Erik's house and stealing his 2.4b (shhhh dont tell him)

the board itself is awesome
super solid, super stable, super easy ~ its super
as you can see by the benchmarks the real power is just starting @ 166fsb....

 

[Mikki]

Cool! That means I can fly over and steal your 2.26b.....

 

[THUGSROOK]

i did verify that agp/pci lock (80/40) does work @ 197fsb.

Auto also works and gives better benchmarks then locked .....:Q

 

[jpetermann]

Crazy man! Crazy!

That's cool...I wonder if it steps up at certain fsb's like it did on my -E?

 

[THUGSROOK]

ill be running more tests on "locked vs auto" with my 2.26b.

 

Very impressive scores!!

 

[THUGSROOK]

thx Phocas

its a shame cause if it woulda got to 200fsb i prolly woulda left well enough alone.
but insted im gonna hafta install my 2.26b (can do 167fsb) and give you guys another review

(ill just append to this one)

 

[oldfart]

Any chance of a table comparing 845E/GB scores @ same CPU/FSB speed?

 

[THUGSROOK]

ow man!

put me in <copy> <paste> he11 why dont ya?
ok ill see what i can do.

 

[Mikki]

hehe...oldfart, you're gonna mess up his nice, neat format...

but the problem is that the P4B533 can run this chip @ 225fsb stable ~ so the real winner is the P4B533

[oldfart]

The 2.26 results should be more applicable to the "average" overclocker that doesn't use a mobile chip, and stays to a closer to Earth FSB speed???

 

[THUGSROOK]

we'll see tonight oldfart

ive always said the p4b533 is an awesome board and will be the cheapest alternative to canterwood 800fsb

 

[poMONKey]

someone or something should be paying you, man ( obviously, your'e having a blast )!!!

.... this is great stuff

maybe i'll pay you since im getting so much out of all this, it'll be like another cable bill ( $120 a month sound good? )

 

[oldfart]

ive always said the p4b533 is an awesome board

It is without a doubt.

 

[THUGSROOK]

P4 2.26b review starts here

 

[Flakk]

ooh im so excited!
