OK I got my P4PE Going, Now for the problems!! grrr

Our memory is somewhat close. I get about 3200 in both int and float benches in Sandra. Have you done any BIOS tweaking to your memory?

How about a Sandra cpu bench?

I haven't done it but I can if you want. The memory timings are 2-3-3-6 at 150MHz, 3:4 and 161MHz at 4:5 settings for DDR400

Is your score at the same settings?

ooops
I see oc.com isn't letting anyone uplaod pics anymore.

Sandra says my mem timings are 2.5-2-2 but in my BIOS it shows 2.5-3-3-7.

Anyway in your BIOS memory timings Choose Enabled for Memory Turbo Mode. and there is a option right above it or the 2nd above it for a memory setting that give infinite for for a choice. Choose enabled for turbo and infinite. I gained about 60-75 points by having those 2 options enabled.

This is one of my new babies..let's see if it uploads

Mike... I have this problem too. Fluctuating vcore is the main issue here.

Here is my story: I use paint tricked to modify P4 1.8A processor with 1.700V as default voltage, and I also set the vcore to AUTO in P4PE's BIOS. At the begining, the BIOS and Asus probe reported the vcore of 1.789V (over-voltage) for 2 or 3 days. Everything went smoothly, and overclocking well up to 145FSB.

After a week passed by, my existing OC setup went bad , and I got the problems like yours, BSOD, crash, won't boot, etc. Fortunately, I noticed the VCORE reported by BIOS is now lower 1.522V (under-voltage). I said WTH??? after tweaking this and that..... I finnaly gave up. I have to satisfy now with 135FSB instead.

Solutions: I think you need to increase the Vcore more in BIOS and watch the Asus PC Probe. If you are sure that your mobo is under voltage, you can set it high, for examples. 1.800V ?

Sandra score

OK, here is my CPU test score, that says it is 3.09 and the front side bus is 588.............how do I get my FSB up higher???

By the way Mike, you can upload pics.....I just did....????

I knew you could link to another site, to see or post a pic, but I couldn't find anywhere to uplaod directly to ocs.com. I have in the past though. Score is alost identical to mine, half the time. Although the other halh the time I get 8300 to 8600. Don't know why it fluctuates.

Cheers.

Yeah I had read your problems in another thread.I found out what was causing my crashes, it was a WinXP setting. My BIOS vcore does read about 1/10v lower than programs in WinXP but I understand it is common trait of the mobo itself. After I fixed my wrong setting in WinXP everything has ran real well.

Bummer about your voltage though.

Mike

any idea how to get the FSB higher?
can t fix the fluctuations, but the board is a good one except for that I beleive.....

Well you could get some higher rated ram so you could start your ram oc at about 355 and start oc'ing your fsb and cpu from there.
And then you could also choose Turbo Mode for your ram. The rest of the memory timings I'd leave alone.

I believe I have the timings at 2-2-2-6?? NOt sure,. I did try turbo and a few other settings once and it locked up, I'll have to get back to you on that.....The Higher ram, I have been thinking about it. Other things on the list first tho, just got the parts for the raid 0 together, that is the next step.....I'll keep you posted tho. n thank you.
