Pentium M on your Socket 478 platform

just so you know....unless you actually tell them you used an aftermarket cooling solution or spill water on it....they have no way of knowing!!!!

Unless they read the artical and then look on the forums!

I've been talking with ASUS daily and trust me they are watching the article and the forum thread

Water Cooling is not having any influence on overclocking that I can tell.

With a 1:1 memory divider I am hitting:

Multiplier x FSB

6 x 222MHz
12 x 215MHz = 2580MHz
13 x 198Mhz = 2574MHz
14 x 185MHz = 2590MHz
16 x 165MHz = 2640MHz

Looks like I have hit a wall around 2.6GHz on my Intel 770 processor

Asus dont read this post,please

I have an Idea to use perhabs all socket 478 cpu cooler those need a retention modul on the Asus CT 479 adapter. (but warranty will be lost...)

You cut a little bit the jumper/pins and the power connector in this and modify the power connector cable. (to the right side outside)
The highness must be vaguely that you can use another cooler.
You will be able to use furthermore the retaining bracket of the Asus cooler to clamp the other socket 478 cooler if you deflection it.

This setting will be interesting to bench with pcmark and ohter applications. O_o

Thanks Apoptosis for the excellent review. I am currently using the P4P800-SE with a Pentium 4 @ 3.2 GHz and would love to know the performance differences between this CPU and the ASUS CT-479 running a Pentium-M 760 or 770.

I'm working on some overclocking numbers and will be doing a PART 3 to this article now featuring the overclocking benchmarks.

Hopefully can complete it over the weekend and have it posted Monday. Tomorrow I have a video card review to post on the site and then Sunday is Easter, so Monday is looking good.

I think he should get a result near 8700-9000 CPU and around 16.000 RAM score in PCMark 2002.

Aquamark 03 would be interesting, too.

If Asus read this:
Really great work. I hope the P4GD1 (Socket 478 + PCI Express and DDR1) becomes support for the CT-479.

A test on a P4C800-E (supports CT-479 in the new Beta-BIOS) would be nice.

no problem, we unterstood that you are busy

i (we) have only a question before you "go":

This program where did you have from ?

FBase|Simon · Post by **FBase|Simon** » Fri Mar 25, 2005 4:01 pm

Maybe from here:
http://www.cpuid.org/download/eist.zip

Post by **Apoptosis** » Fri Mar 25, 2005 4:05 pm

conspectumortis - I got EIST directly from Franck, the person who made the program!

The link is in the article and in the post above. It is really a great tool to use for changing voltages and the multi.

I've been getting e-mails asking what ASUS boards will be supported NEXT...

I just got off the phone with ASUS-USA (yes, they are closed for good Friday, but for some reason they are talking to Legit Reviews today due to the article we posted)

Next on the list is the ever popular P4C800E. The BIOS is due out early next week. After that is the P4GD1, which is the i915P chipset!!!!

The P4GD1:

That is some interesting news that we just found our from ASUS!

The (beta) BIOS for the P4C800-E Deluxe (not the standard version) is already out:

Post by **Apoptosis** » Fri Mar 25, 2005 4:32 pm

According to ASUS it doesn't have the fixes (ie: 1009 beta versus 1008 on the P4P800SE). My ASUS contact told me not to bench the P4C800E that I have till the new BIOS comes out.

FBase|Simon · Post by **FBase|Simon** » Fri Mar 25, 2005 4:58 pm

Of course, Intel is really not amused about this, because exact 0,0 validation.

The Prescott got more and more dark light in his face.

The Extreme Edition (often) assraped by a little mobile processor with a quarter of power consumption.

Can you ask them whether my P4C800 (PURE NON DELUXE) will be supported ?

I don't want to "downgrade" my P4C800 to P4P800 SE.

Thank's a lot !!!

It's logical to think that the P4C800 will be on the list. I'm just not sure how far down it is and to be honest with you I'm not sure if they even have a list drawn out of what boards and when the new BIOS will come out for them.

Not much new in terms of overclocking... All the 200FSB fans should take note this is the best I can do with my hardware. Your results will vary of course.

I ran some PCMark2002 this moring and here are the results...

16 x 133Mhz (2.13GHz) - 7235
12 x 200MHz (2.4GHz) - 7844
13 x 200MHz (2.6GHz) - 7946

FBase|Simon · Post by **FBase|Simon** » Sat Mar 26, 2005 3:03 pm

Thats a little bit bad.

I just reach easily around 8700-8800 CPU Score @ 15x171 MHz on my AOpen i855 board. :-/

Can you verify something for me? I was under the impression for the mobiles that 478 was PGA and 479 was BGA. Your CPUID screenshot says PGA. What type of CPU does the adapter support? I've was able to get 2 1.6Ghz 479 chips for $50ea. They are both BGA. I'm hoping to do beowulf with them running over 2Ghz each

Thank's for the reply. I wish it doesn't take a very long time for them to update the bios for P4C800. Anyway, I will just have to wait. Besides, I haven't found the place to buy the CT-479 adapter.

Do you know where to buy the adapter or it hasn't come out as stand alone product ?

Thank's a lot !

It is currently shipping to local retailers. I tried to get some to give away for a contest, but instead ASUS is sending something else out. So we will have something to give away from ASUS shortly! As soon as I find a retailer with these in stock I'll post it up here!
