i've got same combo from Fry's. haven't tried overclocking it since i've heard so much about heat issues with Prescotts and using the stock HSF. it idles at 40C.
i had an IC7-MAX3, had vdimm, VTT problems. if you can get those modded, then it is a great overclockers board.
EpoX 4PDA2+ is good 865PE board. 3.3vdimm, 1.85vcore, 2.2agpv, no stability problems whatsoever (from my experience).
why would 267 FSB at 5:4 or 214 at 1:1 give you PAT? I thought u could ony use PAT with 1:1 memory divider.
haven't tried overclocking my ram yet, i think it can only do 230 FSB at 2.7v, i wonder if it'll hit 250 FSB at 1:1, that would be nice.
i got PAT to work but only when using 1:1 memory divider in BIOS. Are you sure Intel took it out? Cuz EPoX makes the boards and can't call it PAT that's all I think.
well like i said it's a 30 cap 2.8c D1 stepping (30 caps have known to overclock better than 12 cap CPUs), i guess it's a...
use 5:4 memory divider for your ram, 800fsb bootstrap, stay under 2.85v for vdimm (board has stability issues with 2.85+ vdimm), use SPD setting for ram, crank up FSB until you reach max overclock with stock voltage, then add vcore. i had this board but sold it.
well, first problem i had i couldn't get PATAs + SATA drive working together (would get a ntkernel not found error), then i upgraded to latest bios and got the SATA - Enhanced Mode working, now i have PATA backup HD as master on Primary IDE, DVD burner on Secondary Master IDE, and SATA 01 master...
i had a 2.4 that did 3.0 (250fsb) on stock voltage, sold it. had to up the voltage above 1.525v in order to go higher. seems like you've hit your max w/ stock voltage. add more vcore to get it up higher, you'll probably go 3.3 max with 1.65v like mine.
what is your vdimm set at? try increasing vdimm to 2.7-2.8v
you should loosen up your ram timings since you have 4 x 256mb which would make it more unstable then say 2 x 256.
what is stepping and sspec on your 2.8?
previous 2.8c 12 cap - did 3.21 stable
current 2.8c 30 cap (D1 stepping, not m0) - 3.5 stable at stock voltage 1.525v using stock intel hsf.
running ram at 5:4 divider since using Samsung PC-3200
motherboard is EPoX 4PDA2+ (Rev 2.0) i865PE mobo with 2.2 vagpv, 3.3vdimm, 1.85vcore
i'm getting 60 load and 41 idle, then again i'm using intel stock hsf..
you should take off hsf, remove AS5, and reapply AS5, reseat hsf, then take off the fanmate, and run it at full 2600 RPM for Zalman, not really audible.
i had a MAX3. it's not that good unless you mod it, to fix VTT and VDIMM issue. it will be unstable if you use vdimm 2.9 and above. i think Abit fix the VDIMM issue (at least on my board the MC-64(?) cap was remove). VTT issue is still there unless you do the mod to fix it to equal 1/2 of VDIMM...
timings, lower the better. like 2-2-2-5 is best. someone told me the 5 might corrupt HDs.. not sure. overclocking will reduce lifespan of your processor because of more stress on it (like more voltage, heat, i think). u should get some PC-4000 and do 1:1 ratio, so you have memory running in sync...
so you had ur 2.4 in that AI7 @ 285 FSB? then it shouldn't be the motherboards limit right? maybe it's ur CPU's limit. 980 mhz overclocking for 2.8 is very good :D you could also try 3.2vdimm
my last 2.8c 12 cap only did 3.2 and not really stable, hit 3.4 (at 1.75 vcore) boot into windows for few seconds then crash. that's a good mobo you have i think, good vcore, vdimm 3.2v, etc. i had some corsair LL pc-3200, not sure if it's the Asus P4C800-E mobo but had trouble using 5:4...
5:4 divider, so running at FSB 250mhz, memory at 200mhz.
my Samsung PC3200 can't take 250 FSB at 1:1 i don't think. had some OCZ PC4400 that can do 270+ FSB but i sold it.
SL6WT 2.8C 30 cap
replacement i got from Intel :D
not sure why CPUZ shows voltage as 1.632 vcore i didn't change anything and USDM shows it as 1.488 vcore
running on stock Intel HSF
1.7v and under
if u loosen your timings, up your vdimm, and up your vagp that might help get that extra 100mhz to 3.3
3.2 on stock voltage is pretty good, my 2.4 only went up to 3.0 on stock voltage
