Dothan oc'ing
 

Did a voltmod for the cpu today.
Now I still got to work on the VDimm mod an d Vagp.

P M 725 @ 2410 mhz, ram @ 4/3 divider and 2-2-2-5 timings.


Now I got to get the VDimm up so I can reach higher ramspeeds. :o
I wonder what kristos is doing. :D

nice :o

good news for the DFI fans :)let's hope we don't have to wait too long for these new boards, maybe I get a new board from RMA, I'll be able to arrange for this new revision :D

/goes on dreaming :^D

Bah and I'm still stuck here with the old revision. :grum:

if it's any conciliation, it'll be at least another month before dfi brings this new revision out and probably more.

it's not even been officially and they probably won't untill they got rid of all the old models...

I installed the PCI graka this evening again. Some strange **** happend. When I use clockgen and put it on 140 FSB, after a while it freezes. So I increase vcore, but the same happens again. Then I tried to mess with the timings. I can boot 140 FSB at 2-3-3-5 but when I boot (140 FSB) with 2,5-3-3-5 or 2,5-3-3-6 I can't boot and it's (the motherboard) giving long beeps. Maybe I should lower the divider... :grum:

Default Vdimm is 2,5 Volts. :gay: :rolleyes:

MOEHA!! :grin:

7.1 sound (I think), vga, dvi, tv-out, dual-lan and 4 usb ports. What are the others?

D-sub
DVI
TV-out
other VGA-put thingie, for the very first TFT screens, forgot the name
and red-green-blue vga-out.

Thx. ;)

looks nice, but I think the 12V connector is a bit overkill.
Keep the cables clean and just don't useit. It's not like a default 25W CPU is going to need it.

BTW it's about time the dothan is comming to desktops. Apparently no one is thinking about all the power that's being wasted on a daily base just by CPU's running to fast for what they are doing. Not too mention the teenie wheenie boxes they can make with them. I estimate a fully functional PC about half the size of a normal laptop off course with extra screen and KB-M

I want that board so badly, you guys are always ahead of Xtreme Systems with news, I love ya for that. DAM I just asked JNav about any boards supporting Pentium-M's and in his AMD fixation he said no. I'll get you booyo

:o

Mobo is in RMA :(

Pentium M is still too niche for me to play with on desktop. I understand they perform well in some things, but so does A64. Just b/c intel is putting out a CPU that can keep up with A64 FPU doesn't make it the best thing in the whole world. It's a good cpu don't get me wrong, but if AMD put this cpu out, nobody would care. It's just b/c the P4 has been such a relative flop lately with it's lack of gaming prowess that bringing back a good gaming CPU is so attractive, kinda reminds me of new and old/classic Coke.

Corrective actions could only be taken when mistakes or not the right move is made ..... Intel does not admit the "wrong", hence no corrective action is taken.

If I only wish AMD will make some money; I'll be a happy man.:)

Actually, there's a biiiiiig sticky at XS :)

but it's in the Intel forum, a place not often visited :^D




It also needs to mature but changes are on the horizon with the 533 dothans already announced and the 915 chipset :) for dothan desktops on it's way (due march afaik but only aopen has showed a board with the 915 chipset, no word from DFI yet)

My board arrived today :D
A glimpse of the box :^D

promising.. http://www.vr-zone.com/?i=1687&s=6

what CPU will you be using?

omg 29s on 2.8 ghz, that practicly the same like an a64 ~3ghz with high mem speeds!

My board still ain't back :grum:

But if my board didn't come back this week, I would get a new one on the shop's expense, so there is light at the end of the tunnel, finally :^D

I want more benches :D

Now I hope the price drops a bit.

Goodluck with the project vegeta.

I mis my own pc. Sharing one now with my dad. :(

LoL so you're pornless :p

And gameless. :grum:

I thought about getting a FX55 or if I have enough money I'll go for P4 550 Extreme:D

those CPU's will really shine on that motherboard :super:

uhm.. to fit on that AOPEN BOARD?

What's the problem :D? I can MAKE those CPU fit in that board :^D

These are the first result with an unmodded board and stock (crappy) HS :banana:
Only wiretrick has been done :D

All tests are ran with single BH5@2-2-2-5 syncronic (means divider 1:1 :^D ) and AGP/PCI locked on 75/37)

And my fastest SuperPi (currently :grin: )


Max FSB achieved :o (till now, must do a vdd mod :grin:)



Sadly this board doesn't work with my loyal AIW9800se and softmodded catalyst :(.

Love @ first I must say :^D. Love my dothan :spank: :D
Doesn't need much efforts to oc it. That can't be said with my 2 banias CPU's, they where really a pain in the *** :puke:

I'l get back to you when I get my stuff to do the mods :king:

hehe freakin nice I'd say ;D

lol you lucky [fill in rude word here :D]!



Most people get stuck at 140-150 fsb :^D



or perhaps you found a way around this? ;p

I couldn't wait for my OCZ powerstream :grin:
So I've done some preperations saturday night
Modified a Chieftec 360W PSU to up the 3.3V rail :D
But I'm dissapointed 3.42V->3.55V :grum:, I thought it would give me at least 4V :(. Crappy PSU, but I'm settled for now :^D.
Don't mind the crappy DMP :D, but it does the job.



Also done the Vdimm-mod :D
Used a SMD grabber. In case it goes wrong, I can still RMA this expensive board :grin:.
I spend more time modding the SMD-grabber than soldering the VR. The grabber was too thick to grab the leg of chip:^D.

I've done some testing :D
All test were run with a single stick 256MB Corsair PC3500 BH5. Shove 3.5V up its arse :^D
Result speak for itself :super:
Standard SuperPi=>28s not too shabby huh :^D



I've also ran the controversial Patched SuperPi.
It gave me a full second lower time :banana:

pretty impressive results:)

don't think that BH-5 needs 3.5 to reach <250Mhz speeds though:)

howly mother nature :o
that beats my nasty 3000+ :grin:
its time to do some tweaking & better cooling.
Going to say to friend @ school
=> YOU BETTER MAKE THAT WC BLOCK OR ELSE:^D

I just did in precaution :D
I've tried the 3/5 divider. But SuperPi didn't took advantage of it.
I had to remove those Corsair heatspreaders to obtain more than 255Mhz. And without heatspreaders I only achieved 261Mhz :grum:, after I've runned SuperPi it booted (unstable).
Maybe these are crappy BH5's, or need some more voltage :^D.
It's hard to believe that this RAM is crap, 2years ago I've spended 135EUR a piece (got 2). Maybe I'm in a denying phase :)
Even tried lower the timings to 2.5-3-3-7, still stuck at 261 :grum:
I think it's board limited, but it's strange that I can do 183FSB stable on 3/4 (BH5@261with 3/5 divider is 157FB)

Now I wish I had some TCCD ram (or any other ram that can do 300+ on 2.5-3-3-7) to test it.
To be sure whether it's board limited.

BH-5 is meant for CL2, CL2.5 won't do a thing for the OC

not sure if running TCCD at 283 1:1 CL2.5 3-3-7 will be better then 261 CL2 2-2-5, actually.. I'm pretty convinced the BH-5 will beat it:)

At school we have an CNC-mill. But I don't think I have access to it, I wish I had :D (maybe ask a friend to do it :) )

The "COOLEST:^D" thing about a dothan is that it barely generates heat, 30degrees stressed with the standard Heatsink (that wa provided with the board) :o. Don't think it would OC lot better

:grin: Is my dothan ready for THIS :grin:

do I see a MAC in the background? ;p

the container is way too small :p
it could give you some more mhz :p with the accent on "could":^D
