New p4 1.8a here!!! Update!!!

[LastRide]

JuicyFruit its dipswitch 6 on your mobo.All you have to do is turn on 1 switch.The one your talking about is for the VM board.Check out this new link.1:1 will be actually be 3:4 in the bios.There were some problems with the P4B533E that you should read about on the link I gave you.I know its a long thread but have read a few like that over a couple times..LOL.Here is another link and shows how to set your board. Settings

okay.

so basically just set dsw2 switches (multiplier) accordingly.

set dsw1 switches (cpu external frequency) to agp=70 and pci=35 AND in this setting, set 6 to ON.

then in bios settings, select 1:1, which is actually the 3:4 over 132fsb.

is this correct? my god this hard.

or is everything OFF and 6 ON?

All you have to do is flip dip switch 6 "on" and nothing else with the switches.The rest of the switches stay "off" like they should be when you bought your board.Only the one switch you turn on DS6 and your done.Before you do that,go in your bios and select 133fsb with a 1:1 ratio save and exit the bios,then power down your computer.Now you go and flip DW6 "on".Power up and go back in your bios and select 134fsb cause 133fsb has some kind of problem with the E boards so stay away from 133fsb.Save and exit the bios and thats it.Now you can go back and try higher fsb's and do some testing.Its reall quite simple.Remember 1:1 is actually 3:4 now that you have done that and 4:3 will be 1:1.

you're a sweetheart.

thanks for holding my hand through this.

 

[LastRide]

Glad to have helped.Sometimes I wonder if I am actually helping or giving bad info.In your case I am fairly confident.I still recommend that you read the whole first link I gave you cause there is some interesting stuff there you should know about.Mikki has the same board as you in that thread so you should check out his testing with the 3:4 ratio.

 

[JuicyFruit]

i read somewhere in that post, which was later refuted, that the agp/pci had to be set to 70/35?

 

[LastRide]

No,Lock your agp/pci at 66.66/33.33 this is what they run at.Turn off everything you don't use like onboard sound,USB in the bios and whatever else.Unless you are using them.

1.8a is on sale now in the Forsale forum....

 

[THUGSROOK]

sold that chip fast Duvie and way too cheap too

 

[Duvie]

Thugs...you got PM...

Yep it went in 15minutes....I am not into really profiting on this...if I asked more then going newegg price where a person may be lucky enough to get a 68Q 1.8a dieshrinked chip, I would have to give more gaurantees of the overclock....


I basically list my system specs and said equal or do better....I wont gaurantee anyhing cause I see how some ppl build systems around here....I think if he has an i845d or i845e/g from asus or epox he will get his 2.4ghz at default vcore. Hell if he uses the asus p4b533 he likely will get even more due to the 1.56v of the overvolting asus mobo...
