Asus P4T-E hacked/modded bios?

Hey

I wondered if anyone knows about a hacked Asus P4T-E bios that allows FSB setting over 133FSB with correct dividers in JumperFree mode. In Jumperfree mode there is 100-133FSB in 1MHz steps with a 1/3 PCI divider... 44/88Mhz isnt nice. In Jumpermode where you cant set the vcore and have to make vcoremod you can adjust from 100-156MHz FSB... not in 1MHz though. But there are jumper settings for 100-133 @ 1/3PCI divider, 133-156 @ 1/4 PCI divider and 133 + 150 with 1/5 PCI divider.

The japs (i think) have made a SetFSB for P4T533-C and P4T533-C and P4T-E have same Clock generator (ICS 9250AF-37) so the tool works perfectly in Windows, but still it can only set the FSB after the divider used in the setting i made by jumpers or in bios, the software cant change the dividers. SO in if i chose Jumperfree (bios setting) only the 1/3 PCI divider can be used so only the 100-133 with the software like in bios. In Jumpermode i can chose settings where 1/3, 1/4 and 1/5 is used and make settings by the software with the support FSB @ divider by the Clock generator. But my point is that FSB changing with P4T533-C and P4T-E are identical and P4T533-C have a bios where 100-150FSB in 1Mhz steps with correct dividers is possible. Been lots of threads in several forums about using a P4T533-C beta bios on P4T-E where the FSB settings worked correctly on the P4T-E with the P4T533-C beta bios (wont flash with a non-Beta bios i heard). But some bugs is with the P4T533-C beta bios on P4T-E because of the diffrent chips and controllers but still... the FSB settings and stuff worked (max vcore in P4T533-C bios is 1,85v and is 1,65v in the P4T-E.. setting the vcore to 1,85v would give 1,65v they write the ones reported back on using the beta bios). Another problem is that when flashing back to a normal P4T-E bios the board f*cked up.

So... after all this borring reading i would like to hear if anyone have heard about a hacked/modded P4T-E bios where the FSB setting thing is fixed so it works like P4T533-C. Im like 80% sure of that some japs gut have made one but i cant speech or write the langueech so its difficult to search on google etc. I have written Asus about the problem but they dont even answer... I think their Bios Engineers dont care about such a old product now :/

I dont know anything about modding bios'es? is it possible like copy/paste the "FSB formula" from P4T533-C to a P4T-E bios :))))

Hmm, I have the same board as you, and can easily reach 133fsb with the dip switches, but I too have wished there was some sort of pci/agp lock with the latest bios so I can go higher fsb, but to no avail. Maybe someone can create a custom one eventually, but I really doubt it.

I have a P4 1,8@2,4Ghz (SL63X Phili) installed in mine P4T-E, done vidmod for 1,6v and i am running 133@66/33 with dip switches. Ive done vidmod up to 1,75v and this damned CPU gets blackout at 150FSB... 148FSB it loads windows but not stable though... havent tryed vidmod for 1,8 and 1,85v yet. Then i just fry it and a new CPU is expensive for us young ppl... :)

I know my DRCG and memory are capable of running 156FSB*4 @ PC1248 but the CPU just wont clock that high. Turning my RD multiplier down to 3x didnt help, still black screen on 150FSB and it loads windows at 148FSB. Maybe i should try 1,8v and do a overclock once for all so i dont have to demount my cooler and cpu everytime i have to change voltage ^ ^

I WONT THAT FSB @ PC1200 :)

...I bought my CPU and my friend bought one 3 days after me, same kind (1,8Ghz), same place he ordered from. Mine does 2,4Ghz @ 1,6v stable. His does 2,7Ghz at 1,55v and 3Ghz at 1,6v. Its not fair :)

The most likely problem you are having is because the board doesn't support pci/agp locks. When running any FSB other than 100 or 133, the pci/agp goes waaay out of spec, most likely causing your video to blackout, and not load. If the bios supported this lock, then you could easily reach 150+fsb. My 1.8A can do 2.4 on default 1.5vcore on this board as well.

My computer runs 133 with 1/3 PCI divider all fine. 44/88Mhz. 150 with 1/4 pci divider is 37,5/75MHz. Not a problem... its the CPU limiting me
