Bringing the Pentium-M to the desktop

[lowfat]

To the people who have watercooled their Dothans. Did you all just use 2 screws that are visible, make the little adapter things that were shown on XS, or if not how did you mount them?

I have a lot of watercooling stuff, and would still like to use it.

I guess I need to list mine up, now that I've played with it a bit.

cpu - Dothan 735 (1.7/400)
mobo - P4C800-E Deluxe, no mods
ram - 2 X 256 old skool Corsair XMS3200 (BH5)
vid card - X800XT-PE (Thank you ZZF for the great deal )
cooling - Zalman CPNS7000-Cu
current speed - 2400 MHz (160 X 15), ram at 200 MHz
vcore - 1.53-1.55
max speed - 2431 (143 X 17)
stepping - have to look it up, but it's the regular 735 stepping.

It's not a great overclocking chip, but I only paid $120 for it on eBay so I'm still satisfied. I do plan to get me a 730 later on to try running 200+ fsb. I don't know if it's the proc or the mobo, but it gets squirrely above 160 fsb, no matter what multi is used. I have the memory set for 333 in bios on the ram speed setting presently, but leaving it on auto or setting it to 266 doesn't help the fsb overclock either.

Hey Mud, I have a question.

I have seen that CPU being reported as a socket 478 chip. (Intel sSpec reports it as a 478.)

Is this true?

Will it fit in a regular desktop board? (Can you run it without the adapter?)

I have the same chip and no. It does have the extra pin. I dunno why the thing is reported the way it is, as a socket 478.

 

[alexio]

It has S478 pins like the normal s478 P4's, the only difference is that the pinout is different and to make it less confusing they called it s479.

That is correct.

I'm getting an old pci card today, I hope this fixes the problems I'm running into at this board and hope to get 24 secs on stock air.

More results tonight I hope

Are P4GD1s still being produced? Can I buy them anywhere?

I don't know about production but over here in holland some shops still have them.

 

[JohannM]

Has anyone run Dothan under Phase change and if so, what kind of results is possible?

You should be able to keep it extremely cool under load with a vapo?

average results with unmodded vapo/prommy have been like 3-3.2ghz and with modded ones and cascades and with DI 3.2-3.4.
dothan just screams for LN2

Hey guys i'm trying to find out if the Asus P4P800-MX mobo is compatible with the ct-479, anyone have any experience or know if it is? Thanks for the help

 

[g0dM@n]

I don't know about production but over here in holland some shops still have them.

Holland... I want to go there someday.

 

[Sjaak]

Holland... I want to go there someday.

You're welcome to stay here for awhile. I recommend just after christmas, big LAN here then

 

[g0dM@n]

I always think about one thing when I think about Holland, and I think you just may know what I'm thinking about.

So anyways... have the prices on the Dothans dropped enough for me to try one yet?

Sjaak, wtf is up with your sig... looks like one of the robots from iRobot that just had too much to eat.

That's Marvin, the depressive robot from THHGTTG. Now, back on topic.

Prices dropped a little, i hope we get some lower ones when Yonah starts to show up.

 

[Zork]

Guess I will post my resulst so far as well..

cpu - Dothan 730 (1.6/533)
mobo - P4P800-SE, no mods
ram - 2 X 512 Kingston BH-5 (the old stuff)
vid card - Sapphire X800XT-PE
cooling - Custom R22 phase change built by me.
current speed - 2950MHz (295X10), ram at 236MHz 2,2,2,5 (prime/3dstable 24/7)
vcore - 1.50-1.58 (board fluctuates ALOT)
max speed - 3052mhz (Not stable, board needs droop mod BAD)
stepping - Forgot to write it down before i glued the heatspreader on

 

[lowfat]

pretty awesome for a cheap motherboard. people say the P4P's don't overclock as well as the P4Cs. Is it worth the extra $150CAD from going from the P4P800SE to a P4C800e deluxe?

 

[Jimbob7]

If you already have a P4P800SE then try it. If you don't i'd just buy a P4C800 straight off.
