So I got a P4 processor in......
And I love it! It's a 3.2 GHz, with 1MB L2 cache, and an ASUS P4C800-E mobo to run everything. I think it's a very nice upgrade from my Athlon xp 2400, runs much faster. The board came with built in firewire, which I didn't realize until after I got it, so I guess that was an added bonus.
After I got everything set up and running, I decided to see how it would handle overclocking, and this board incorporates "smart" overclocking, meaning I just tell it how much I want (5, 10, 15%, etc.) and it does it automatically. I am still able to overclock in manually, but this makes it a little easier. The weird part: I overclocked it 5%, so the processor is running at a very stable 3.36 GHz. I tried then to return it to normal speed in the bios, but it wouldn't accept it, it kept telling me "overclock failed!". I returned it to a 5% overclock, and the system runs perfectly. I don't get it . Not that I mind, but I'm just wondering now why it won't accept its normal speed... |

The P4C800-E is one of the most feature-rich P4 motherboards Asus produces, so of course it has firewire.

By the way, what are your motherboard and processor temperatures? (Check in the bios, or using Asus' Probe utility.) I'm just curious... |
