>>> Asus P4G8X-D <<<

[jhites]

Still waiting on my board, since ordering on Wednesday. :|

Shows to be out for delivery today, finally. 😛

Geeezzze Thugs - you are half a continent further (Texas/Florida from California)
and you get yours first. 😉

That's what I get for being cheap and using free shipping.

How's that 200 coming? I was thinking that the chipset might be more stable
and give you a higher OC than you were getting on your P4B533.

Thugsrook, good luck, scores look great so far!! 🙂

Did the det 40 drivers not work out for you?

 

[THUGSROOK]

all the det 40s do nothing but crash crash crash.
the 4180s were doing really good ~ but they also randomly crash for no reason.
det 40 quality leaves much to be desired too.

ran M86 last night ~ passed 195fsb easily with turbo on 🙂
still gotta work on 200........

Schweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet! 😎

Thanks for the info Thugsrook...are you gaining any ground on 200fsb? At what point are you gonna plug your 2.26b in? 🙂😉

What's your overall opinion of the board so far? 🙂

if i dont get 200 tonight, its getting pulled ~ then im going over to Erik's house and stealing his 2.4b (shhhh dont tell him) 😉

the board itself is awesome 🙂
super solid, super stable, super easy ~ its super 😉 😀
as you can see by the benchmarks the real power is just starting @ 166fsb....

 

[Mikki]

Cool! That means I can fly over and steal your 2.26b.....😀

 

[THUGSROOK]

i did verify that agp/pci lock (80/40) does work @ 197fsb.

Auto also works and gives better benchmarks then locked .....:Q

😱

 

[jpetermann]

Crazy man! Crazy!

That's cool...I wonder if it steps up at certain fsb's like it did on my -E? 🙂

 

[THUGSROOK]

ill be running more tests on "locked vs auto" with my 2.26b.

 

Very impressive scores!!

 

[THUGSROOK]

thx Phocas 🙂

its a shame cause if it woulda got to 200fsb i prolly woulda left well enough alone.
but insted im gonna hafta install my 2.26b (can do 167fsb) and give you guys another review 😉

(ill just append to this one)

😀

 

[oldfart]

Any chance of a table comparing 845E/GB scores @ same CPU/FSB speed?

 

[THUGSROOK]

ow man! 😛

put me in <copy> <paste> he11 why dont ya?
ok ill see what i can do.

😀

 

[Mikki]

hehe...oldfart, you're gonna mess up his nice, neat format...😛

but the problem is that the P4B533 can run this chip @ 225fsb stable ~ so the real winner is the P4B533 😉

[oldfart]

The 2.26 results should be more applicable to the "average" overclocker that doesn't use a mobile chip, and stays to a closer to Earth FSB speed???

 

[THUGSROOK]

we'll see tonight oldfart 😉

ive always said the p4b533 is an awesome board and will be the cheapest alternative to canterwood 800fsb 😀

 

[poMONKey]

someone or something should be paying you, man ( obviously, your'e having a blast 😀 )!!!

.... this is great stuff

maybe i'll pay you since im getting so much out of all this, it'll be like another cable bill ( $120 a month sound good? 😀 )

 

[oldfart]

ive always said the p4b533 is an awesome board

It is without a doubt.

P4 2.26b review starts here

 

[Flakk]

ooh im so excited! 🙂
