Re: P4C800 Deluxe broken cap

Yes sorry i was wrong, the Memory frequency is 500mhz, actually the fsb is set to 250mhz.

I post some screenshot of the actual CPUID and GPUZ.

Thanks....

Re: P4C800 Deluxe broken cap

Hi,

yes but in this system the bottleneck is actually the CPU, the HD 3850 is overkill for this configuration, I doubt that the videocard is the problem, with the akasa freedom force the max GPU temp under load is 47c°, and if I lower the fsb everything return stable so it seems to be an intensive CPU load with high framerates that keeps the cpu unstable at that temperature (57c°).

Even the RAM seems to be ok, I ran memtest for 2 hours, no error at 450mhz fsb, 1:1 ratio.

If I set the vsync on forced by...

Hi to all, thanks for tour answers,

Yes, I'm using a 240mm cooler master AIO liquid, 3rd gen mirror pump, with 2 noctua cooling fans, max temperature under load Is 57 c° at 4.0ghz. Everything Is stable until I enable some antialiasing, seems to be and increased load on the CPU to me, as you said, related to thermals.

Anyway I'm pretty impressed by the performance i gained overall, next week i'm going to polymer cap all the board, then i'll keep you updated.

33.156pt 3D Marks2003, seems to be good enough...

Re: P4C800 Deluxe broken cap

Hi, thanks for your suggestion.

Yes I noticed that the polarity was inverted, I have a good equipment, ESD safe iron station, max 500c°, so i think I'll do the recap as soon as I can.

Yesterday I made some overclock, the CPU tolerate only 1.6v from BIOS, if I go higher the system don't POST, I think it's related to that kind of prescott CPU, anyway I don't want to go with a northwood .

Memory can only go up to 240mhz fsb at 1:1 with 3-4-4-8 timings and 2.85v, but it seems ddr500 pc4000 are nowhere to be...

Re: P4C800 Deluxe broken cap

Sorry for the double-answer, I missed some details.

The other smd cap missing was near the Speech POST reporter chip, but I managed to resolder another one with success ( much better solder than the other one you've seen in the photos ). I checked all the motherboard and there seems to be no other damage apart from the junk I already cleaned out.

Luckyly there was no blown-out capacitors, even if I read from other posts in this forum, that the capacitors in this board are far from good-quality ones.

I think...

Re: P4C800 Deluxe broken cap

Hello, thanks man for your complete answer,

I was wandering around with VOGONS, Phils Computerlab, Retro Hardware, Druaga1, Majorgeeks, Linus Techtips and Gamer Nexus, I don't know why I didn't came across this site.

Anyway thanks for your Happy welcome.

Today I found the courage to power it on , the first boot attempt was done with a weak setup, to prevent any damage: ati 3drage II+ PCI and 1 slot of ram, no audio card, no sata plugged.

The first attempt was anything than good,...

Hello to all, first af all thank you for the existence of this forum, I discovered it only 2 days ago.

I have a question regarding a used p4c800 mainboard I bought few days ago for a retro P4 project that I'm doing.

My system is: p4c800 deluxe, p4 prescott 3.2ghz, Corsair xms twinx platinum series 2-3-3-6, saphire HD3850 agp with modified bios and pencil mod, verbatim ssd 120gb, Audigy 4 sb0610, 650w corsair PSU and a Corsair Spec Delta case.

My previous motherboard was an Asrock p4i65g, not very good in overclocking but I managed to oc the cpu to 3.73ghz...

Re: New Members - please post your introductions here

Hello

I'm new to this forum, I came here to find a solution to my Asus p4c800 Deluxe, I'm a
Cisco Systems computer Technician and I'm making a retro pc with a Pentium 4 prescott 3.2ghz and a hd3850 by sapphire with the akasa freedom force gpu cooler.
