How high does the P4P800 OC to? I'm looking to boot Abit.

I spent a crap load on my Max3 and it's giving me only 270 FSB stable. I mean, it could very well be my CPU... I might try another 2.4C or something. But I just think that $200+ for a mobo is a bit ridiculous.

So I'm looking at the P4C and P4P boards. Now, as far as the P4P goes, I hear some talk about it being just as good as the P4C? Is this true? I haven't gotten to try out the differences between the Canterwoods and Springdales because every Springy that I ordered has come in damaged somehow.

Essentially, I just want to know how high I'll be able to go with a P4P. I'm hitting 270 now, and I used to be able to get to 280 on my last Abit board and CPU, but I sold them off. I want to pass 280 now. Having to backtrack to 270 is kinda hurting my ego.

I wouldn't say they are a "good" board for ocing.

You're being sarcastic right? 303FSB???

Yeah, not good...well above average.

I guess you just got a REALLY good chip. I got a P4C800 and it's stable at 275 right now... ho-hum...

275, Is that @ 5:4? I had Hyper-x pc3500 and couldn't get above 260, regardless of timings, dividers or voltage. I switched to Mushkin and BAM, 303 w/ 2-2-2-5. I had to max my vdimm and up vcore to 1.65 to get there though.

yeah, it's 5:4. Should I switch to 1:1? 3:2?

275 @ 5:4 is a nice oc. Is that w/ tight timings? You could get close to 300 with the volt mod. or using the 3:2.

Blah. With my old IC7-G and another 2.4C, I was getting 285 at 5:4. Tight timings too.

275 riht now is at 2-3-3-5

Doesn't that board give higher vdimm setting though?

I should max out the vdimm? I think it goes to like 3.2 or maybe higher...

3.2v and above is where trouble can start w/ ram. Have you tried timings @ 2-3-2-5?... I just did the math...Duh, 275 @ 5:4 is 440 and your ram is rated for 435 I wouldn't complain. You could try upping the vdimm and pushing the fsb or drop the divider to 3:2 and try for 300 fsb or better. What's your vcore @ 275? temp? is all this stable?
