The official HWBOT OC Challenge March 2010 - stage 1: wPrime 32m thread.

I've dusted off my old Abit IC7-g MaxII, 3.2C, and 2x512MB OCZ Platinum Rev2. This should be fun.

Dreadlockyx, no, no. It's a crappy low-end Asus. And as many know - the low-end Asus is a crap worse than Asrock and MSI (in overclocking means).

Get a normal P4P800 or the deluxe board. The one you found has a 865G chipset - with integrated video. And it's mATX.

 

JLK03F150, nice stuff

Maybe it's this ? http://cgi.ebay.ch/ASUS-P4P800-SE-Gold-2-8-GHZ-Intel-Sockel-478_W0QQitemZ270543848439QQcmdZViewItemQQptZDE_Elektronik_Computer_Mainboards?hash=item3efdab83f7

Hope so...

I've remembered about a new feature - the MoBo page.

Sapienti sat.

 

The first link tells you to look only at Asus and maybe Abit IS7-E. The second shows how much the 875P grabs comparing to 865PE. Now I see that I'm lucky that got my hands on a P4C800-E.

Thanks! It's performing really well too!

 

Don't forget the Abit AI7 865PE mobo. It's also a great performer.

The RAM divider doesn't work right on the IC7-g once the FSB is past 250 MHz, so you need to have really good RAM for high overclocks with it.

If I were you, I'd try to find a similar BIOS chip and flash the BIOS from other ABIT 875 and 865PE models. Maybe the MAXIII model BIOS will do the stuff. And yes - nobody denies clockgen boot at the frequency when dividers work and push in windows the speed you need.

It's as easy as it sounds.
