Don't get the P5P800 SE. I was going to get it, because my 641 does not work in my 875-t! so ANGRY! i'll NEVER Go DFI Again for lack of support! Anyways...the p5p800 se has a vdrop problem just like the p5p800. http://www.techpowerup.com/articles/overcl...motherboard/122

I own a DFI Lanparty 875-T and whenever I set the FSB in the bios, it is always 1 incriments higher in windows. Example: I'll set the FSB to 250 (4.00ghz) in the BIOS. I boot into windows, CPU-Z reads it as 251FSB (4.02ghz) So I'm a bit confused about that.

UPDATE!!! 02/02/07 For the longest period of time, I've been running into massive errors and problems without any possible conclusions. Now I have found the source of those problems. I have successfully achieved 4.02ghz at 1.45v. Since I am the only user on this entire forum that had a 640 heat up like it was a 520 and not achieving 4ghz literally at ALL, I refused to accept the possibility that it was my "cpu" or that my cpu was "maxed out". Well get this guys. First off, I got this cpu and the motherboard used. I have never ever taken the cpu out of the socket 775 until today. When I did so, I noticed there was a spongy pad attached to the centre of the cpu, where the mini capacitors and transistors are. Now I have never seen a spongy pad under my p4 520 before, now has my friend who owns a 630 has witnessed one either. I instantly took the pad off, since it was acting as an insulate. No wonder my load temps were so high! and a whole bunch of other problems as well!!! Now that the pad has been removed, ALL errors and problems disappeared. I will be posting pics shortly, Thank you ALL for your help and support! Oh, BTW I made a few recent upgrades - OCZ Powerstream 520w Native 24-pin - Antec Nine Hundred Ultimate Gaming Case w/added Antec Tricool 120mm 79CFM@30db fan to the side pannel. - OCZ XTC Memory Cooler Sweet!

How am i going to run into troubles? neither set of RAM modules are running at 100% same timings, same voltages. 0 errors in memtest, there is no explanation for future errors.

Okay, well I got a friend who works at a comp store to directly talk to an OCZ techie and they said it would NOT work...However, i demanded a reason why it wouldn't work, considering in theory, it should work. I never got a response back, so i took the risk anyways. Both types of ram work pefectly together. I get blazing high benchmarking mem scores. The theory has been prooven practically correct. it is possible!

I know what you're saying. I want to get a 1gb or 2gb kit, but i'm low on cash for a while. I honestly think it would work, as long as the DDR stays at or lower than 533. hell i'm sure the pc4200's could handle ddr550 with a wee bit more voltage. Anybody have experience with this attempt?

I currently have OCZ EL DDR PC-4400 Dual Channel Gold *EOL 2x256MB, OCZ550512ELDCGLE-K, 2.9v Timings: 2.5-4-4-7. (Default is 2.5-4-4-8) I need 512mb more of the same RAM cuz 512mb these days just doesn't cut it... but my city doesn't carry it anymore. So as an alternative, I'm thinking of getting 512mb of This: http://www.canadacomputers.com/index...&cid=RAM .178 That way I have 1Gb of RAM. my PC4400's are in DIMM1A and DIMM2A. I'm thinking of putting the PC4200's in DIMM1b and DIMM2b. My motherboard is a DFI LanParty 875-T. Same timings, and my FSB is 250 right now, therefore neither of them would be overclocked. What do u guys think?

Would Any of the 900 series of the P4's (specifically the 930) run on a DFI LanParty 875-T? I want to replace my 640 with a 930..but i haven't found anything anywhere about this board not supporting the 9xx series. And what about the 8xx (like the 805 p4)?:confused:

yes, the load temp is pretty high. it's actually RIGHT at the limit before CPU thermal-throtting. but my voltage is much higher than what yours was. you said you used 1.4v. I ended up having to use 1.5125v. 1.4v would not keep anything stable for me unfortunately.

Okay this time, i've reache 4ghz stable. 16x249 (1.5125v) in bios, in windows it's at 250. Devider is at 1:1, 2.5-4-4-8 2.8v. I took the motherboard tray out of my casing, so now my comp is completely naked however it has fixed my overheating problems my A/C is blasting right at my gutted PC, thus awsome temps. CPU idle 32-36. Full load goes up to 60. GPU is at 35, full load 46C. (ATI silencer 4 rev 2 w/AS5) Vidcard mem idle's at 34, full load 36. Omega Drivers based on Cat 6.5, texture and midmapping set to HQ. OC'ed to 565/621 1.8VDDQ 3dmark05 = 5892 Not bad..? opinions?

I take it all back, same problem as before..i can't reach 4ghz OC. CPU-Z reads my bios as 251fsb, but i set it to 250FSB in the bios. is that odd?

the Bios you recommended worked, I have finally achieved 16x250 1.5v 4ghz clock speed 1.5v was the only voltage that would allow 3dmark03 to run without crashing...going to try prime95 and so forth. if all goes well, gonna aim higher! :nod: Thanks a lot u guys for all of your support

What voltage did you use to reach 4ghz?

on what voltage did you hit 4ghz?
