p4m & multi?

hi guys

finally got all my stuff together (it7max2 v2.0 + p4m 2ghz) but some new problems came up

first of all this p4m is an engineering sample with all the multis unlocked.

i had it work 8x 200 on my asus p4pe (and a lot of other combinations)

but now on my it7max i can only select between 15x up to 21x. all other multi selections give 15x which kinda sux. only if i select to high a mhz frequency and it boots in "safemode" i shows me 12x100. but if i change the fsb again it defaults to 15x again

any ideas why this might be?

i was hoping for >200mhz fsb and it seems that might not be possible

but at least it will boot @ 15x200 with 1.5v

sounds to me like some boards recognize unlocked cpu's differently cause they aren't made to run them. The only thing you can do is go as high as you can I guess.

bios issue.
it's the same with my th7-II

current bw-bios: multis from x15-21
older bf-bios: either x12 or 20

so on your p4pe the mutli was 12 and you got to 200 fsb iam looking to but a p41.7-m i was just wondering if the p4pe can even make it to 200 fsb???

bump

whoops sorry didn't read this forum in a while.

my asus p4pe made it to 200mhz fsb. but with 12x200 the performance won't be all that great i think.

why wouldnt the performance be great at 200fsb 2.4ghz and 400 ddr its slow????

well because it's only 2.4ghz

and you only have ddr400 unless you have some really good ram that you can run with a 4:5 divider making 500ddr

Has anyone got their IT7-MAX2 to boot windows past 200 FSB? Right now the highest I can get is 197.5 stable. It is not a memory issue either, I have Corsair 512-XMS3200C2 and it Memtests up to 434 MHz. I have noticed sometimes that the mem ratio does not hold because sometimes i have it 1:1 and it boot windows 3:4??? I don't think the AGP and PCI lock are working at these high FSB speeds. Anyone have any clues, please let me know.
