best M/B for p4 3.20e Ghz

bazx · Feb 8, 2005

i have had some good results with the asus p4p800/se m/b with celeron
from 2.6ghz to 3.6ghz

but when i tryed a p4 3.2e prescot in the same m/b the results have been poor i wonder if this is the best m/b for this chip

latest bios already installed,water cooled,sata drive,2x 512 samsung ddr 400,

cannot get the fsb over 230 before it hangs

any idears

thanks

Look''s like that's the board's limit. I've upgraded from a 2.6c that I had runnin 3.6Ghz easy h20 cooled on a P4C800 Deluxe rev 1.0 to a 3.0 Prescott running 3.7Ghz. Fsb @ 247, 1:1 with 7-3-3-2.5.

Your best bet would be a P4C800 Deluxe and droop mod it so the vcore doesn't fluctuate. I did the mod on both of my P4C's and it's easy as cake.

if you can find one the ic7maxII is a good board for prescotts as well and doesnt have as bad a issue with drooping as the asus boards do.
