Abit BH7 & 800fsb P4

[tuzzi]

I am curious if anybody has tried this combination yet. Would it be worth it to get a 2.4c for this mobo? How do you think it would OC? Thanks

abit engineers say that this board will work with 200 fsb

Hardocp just did a review of this chip. The review was with a Canterwood board though. The overclocking results look promising.

Here is another review. A 3.0C on another Canterwood.

I'm pretty sure the chip will handle it
Question is will the BH7 do it? I would also like to know...
But even if it would do it, there is no room left for overclocking...

Well, like tMQ said, they advertise the fact that the BH7 will run at 800 mhz fsb. If I were you though, I would wait a while. Try and pick up a later revision of the P4C chip which would hopefully o/c better...plus you know hardware sites are going to try this setup. Abit claiming that their board is capable of this is a lofty goal and I'm sure that many will want to test this.

Just my $.02.

I doubt the BH7 will do much more than 200 FSB, so you won't get much of an overclock out of it. Feel free to prove me wrong though. Will the BH7 support a 12X multiplier?

 

[raskren]

And what may I ask, is your basis for this argument?

Based on the reviews, the board will easily do over 200; the problem is that the 3:4 memory ratio seems scre**d!!!

I use a Pentium 4 mobile ES.....

I think most of you know about the cpu so that I have not to explain any more.

I can choose all multis higher then my default and lower then default multi, BUT when I choose a multiplikator lower then 15 the computer boots up with a multi of 15... -so the minimum multi is 15 (P4 2,4C 12x200)

Because of this I think there will be some problems with this board....

The board itseld works of course with fsb200 and more...

I have a BH-7 and I've used a P4 mobile in it up to 225FSB and
now I'm burning in a P4 2.4C at 220.

The 3:4 divider is not working right, 33/Fixed does not work right,
but the board is solid as far as I can take it, which appears to
be 220-225 depending on memory.

Even if the BH7 mobo will do 220 FSB, then a 2.4C will only be running at 2.64 gig. I'm running a 2.4C at a stable 3.3 gig (275 FSB) on my IC7. If you're going to overclock and if you want a 2.4C, then get a Canterwood or Springdale mobo.
