Anyone overclock their P4 C chip on a 845PE chipset board?

[Bad Dude]

I have an Asus P4PE board with the 845PE chipset. I got my 2.53B chip to 3.06 with 1.575V. I wonder if I can get the P4 2.4C chip to overclock on the board? The board FSB can go up to 230Mhz. I have the Kingston HyperX PC3000 running at 161FSB stable with memory speed of 403MHZ. I can run it at 1:1. Anyone has done it? What do you all think?
Thanks.

I'm going to try this when I get a chip to try it with(next month)
but I only have DDR400 🙁 so I don't think i can get that much of an overclock I just want to see if the mobo with run with a P4 800FSB and HT

I have an Albatron 845PE, which the bios shows as being able to go up to 248 fsb (unlikely I know) but I'm also wondering if I can use a P4c chip in it...

according to Asus with the latest bios you can run a P4c .
I have the same board, and am thinking about getting a 2.6c.
I am using Geil GD PC 3500

Here is an example of an 845PE board running a 2.6C @ roughly 2860 MHz, fsb @ 880MHz (220MHz x 4):

Abit IT7 max2 v.2

This is the board i have. i am currently running a P4 1.6A, but hope to upgrade to a 2.4C soon.

By the way, Anandtech's review of the It7 max2 v.2 is giving me the impression that the only factor in whether or not an 845PE board will support the new P4Cs is an fsb limitation in the BIOS. So as long as the BIOS allows the system clock to reach 200MHZ+ (800MHz+ fsb), it will support the P4C processor. At least thats the impression i got...i could be wrong though.

I just ordered a P4 2.8c:beer:
I'll let ya know how it works with a P4PE.
Should have it by Monday:evil:

Phoenix, I just noticed in your sig that we have the same Albatron board 🙂 I look forward to seeing your results with a P4 "c" chip!
