    Previously: cooling on P4- now P4 and Asus problem

    yes, 1.5GHz.... Update------- I have actually gotten this thing to boot (with only an AGP video card and SCSI card) at 1995mHz- 15 x 133fsb. Unfortunately I have noticed one thing with the Asus mobo. When using the jumper block to set frequencies etc, the bios setting for CPU voltage...

    Previously: cooling on P4- now P4 and Asus problem

    Thanks to all for the help. I finally had a resolution to the problem. After receiving a new mobo from the place of purchase, I am up and running. All I can say is this thing eats my previous P3 1GHz for lunch. I have it running 1875mHz stable @ 39degC with just a globalwin heatsink and 7200...

    Previously: cooling on P4- now P4 and Asus problem

    I got the motherboard from PowerStartPC and the CPU from American Design Componenets... I am a stickler for saving money sometimes.... but when there is a $50-100 difference between the next lowest retailer... Yeah, I tried a good ole fashioned 2Meg Cirrus Logic PCI video card to no avail...

    No, we are talking about tri-cities Tennessee.... nope, no P4's around here. Unfortunately, I wish I could blame it on windows but..... it locks in the bios while it is just sitting there. I don't think it will sit indefinately anywhere... even if I put a 2ton weight on top of it. ;)

    Previously: cooling on P4- now P4 and Asus problem

    Unfortunately, frustrated2, I am the only person I know in my tri-city area that has a P4 system. My penalty for being cutting edge. I am sure there are others but so few and far between, I would never be able to find them. Around here, we are still stuck in the area of celeron 600s. The Duron...

    Previously: cooling on P4- now P4 and Asus problem

    I bought the Asus P4T retail box through an online reseller... I am starting to lean toward a faulty mobo but I am still uncertain at the moment. I have had several offers for the 40 gig maxtor. It is the original 5400rpm ATA66 model. (Make an offer- I usually won't go below a certain %{which...

    Cooling issue on P4?

    It hasn't anything to do with Hard drives, windows, device database or anything. It will hang just sitting idle in the bios screen--- before it even gets into the "meat" of booting. A kind soul- and you know who you are- pointed me toward the fact that the 1002 bios on the Asus...

    Only a fool would buy or build a P4 system.

    One must remember that technological advances must sometimes break the boundaries of ugradability and compatibility...

    Cooling issue on P4?

    Yes, you are correct. It is the Antec 403 PS in the case.

    Cooling issue on P4?

    unfortuantely, I am typing from work behind several firewalls and it doesn't allow IM or any other program. I have actually been in windows so I don't think the HDs are a problem. (I had a previous install from the computer I just parted out to put this thing together.) It detected all new...

    Cooling issue on P4?

    I am thinking you are probably right. The mobo is reporting 69C but the processor doesn't even burn a finger. I have stripped the contraption down to just the Asus 6800 GeForce card(which I kept awaiting the NV20), the processor, the ram and the heatsink... and still have problems. I am...
