Everything but the 6800U will be here friday. Grin  The 6800U says estimated shipping date is the 10th of this month...but i doubt that is anywhere close to be true.

good luck with that system, I was in the same boat as you as far as 939 socket boards for A64's however 1 mobo is about to come out that made me go A64, I got a 3500+ with the MSI K8N Neo2 board which is the top A64 board right now and fully supports all the nforce3 features..

the mobo is actually not for sale until the end of this week/beginging of next however it has won several awards already..

anyway it will be fun to compare your system to mine once we get them assebled..

The 3500+ paired with a nforce 3 is what i wanted to do but it costs more and i couldnt wait any longer for a good mb to come out.  Hopefully i can get a good oc out the intel.

Looks like a great setup to me BlackHawk, and I hope it does well for you. There are a lot of P4C800 setups out there OCX'ing their asses off, so it's very likely you've a winner combo...

same set up as mine except for the 6800U and the asus mb. looks good. i got real lucky with my 3.0c the first one i ever owned runs 3800/3900 with a sp-94 and 92mil tornado and ofcourse with the mach1 it goes a tad faster.... youl like it man ive pitted mine up against a fx53 and didnt loose that much infact the scores would suprise you. now that was at 4200mhz but still.... good luck mate hope all goes smooth for you...

yeah i tried it all...cleared the cmos...threw multiple mice and keyboards at it...removed the battery...post code matched the errors i was getting.  The two times it did post the keyboard didnt work and so i couldnt even get to the bios. 
Also since it wouldnt even post i couldnt try to flash it either.  The mobo is on its way back to the egg.  I'm still waiting on my 6800U anyway.  I HATE  waiting LOL

How you comming with this new rig BlackHawk? Haven't heard about it in awhile, and would really like to see you have it up and kickin' ass...

Might wanna check out the OCZ Vdimm booster once you get things settled down. The things really do work as advertised. Higher voltage to your dimms = higher bandwidth...

Well i'm back at school now with no computer so it makes it hard for me to find time to post.  The new motherboard is on the way and with any luck it might get to my house back at home tomorrow...Luckly i only live an hour away from school.  If it doenst come tomorrow i will for sure have it on monday.  Trust me i'm as anxious as anyone...this past week has killed me especially bc my 6800U just looks at me every day wanting to be put to use!!!!!

I only ran prime for about 4hrs...to me thats pretty stable...once i let it burn in some more i might try to go faster but right now it doesnt like to go over 250fsb and i know its not my mem bc i lowered it and it still wasnt stable.  Also i'm about to flash my 6800U so once i get some good results i will post benchies

Primed again for 9 hours and its rock stable.  Finally after finding a rev2 nvidia bios and then editing it for more voltage and raising the AGP voltage i got my system 3d stable at DEFUALT speeds.  It does run oced now as well.  Currently its far cry and 15min doom 3 stable at 440/1.2  Afro  My internet went down at my apartment so once its up i will link some benchies and screens!

Well come to find after all this time that my prime stable oc to 3.75 isnt 3dmark stable!!  My vcore is drooping up to 180mV so a droop mod is a must here real soon.  I can now run my 6800U at 450/1.25 but only when the processor is running at 3.37 with 1.7vcore.  I doubt my power supply can be blamed but obviously the power pull from the 6800 is causing the crashing.  I know i can run 3.75 its just a matter of getting the PC enough juice.

I want to kill myself...I f*cking broke the damn capacitor while doing the droop mod...I had it on there just fine but i wanted to try to clean the soder up just a little bit and i tombstoned the cap and while trying to fix that it just broke.  So now i'm going to try to RMA it to new egg and try my best to hide the fact i f*cked it up Evil.  Damn this was such and easy freakin mod...i'm sooo pissed right now!!!

What's wrong with this picture, you are going to RMA something you broke your self trying to mod the card & you say you are going to be trying to hide what you did?

I know...i'm studying to be an electrical engineer TOO(already have my Associates Degree)...i have built all kinds of S**t and even used SMT parts before so i knew this could happen yet didnt think it would happen to me...guess i learned.  I probably was in too much of a hurry and just wasnt carefull.  I know i can do the mod, just next time i'm sticking to the "macci soder dot" version where to dont have to get close the cap.  Someday i will get this system up to me expectations!!

Sorry to hear about your troubles there BlackHawk, but gotta take my hat off to ya for your integrity! Most every other site I visit, that m/b would have been an RMA.

Hope you get the new board soon tho, and get your S**t fired up and runnin'. Do your droop mod, then install one of those OCZ dram Boosters, and OC the ass offin' that thing...

Thanks for the support.  Its tough sometimes when i'm in school, broke although i have a job, and trying to feed an expensive computer habit.  I know it will all come together here eventually.  I just have to be more patient.  I ordered from zipzoomfly so the new mobo, which is the 3rd P4C800e i will have had in about a month, should be here on friday.  3rd times a charm right!?!  Huh

BlackHawk, be sure and at least checkout this memory booster. It is a really good way to increase the voltage to your memory, without the risk of soldering. Mine works really well with the P4P800 and OCZ ram. Their running less than $50 now, so it might fit your budget...

Good luck with the new board...

when did you get the OCZ booster farmer? hows is working out for you? ive thought about getting one but i can already get 280 1:1 i dont see my memory going much higher even if i crank the voltage up some more?? i deff want to buy one just to have cause for an AMD rig and from what your saying also intel is getting use out of this new toy OCZ has released. how much are they 50 bucks?

*edit*
 nevermind that last question im an idiot Smiley  you said in your post it was under 50 bucks...

I really didnt have a problem with the memory.  I was running 250fsb at 2.5-4-4-6.  I had put the divider at 5:4 to check and see if i had more head room but the processor didnt seem to want to go any faster.  However, the vcore was dropping ALOT so that may have been the reason.  I had set the vcore at 1.7 and under load it would drop as low as 1.53.  So that i believe was the reason for my instability and also why it wouldnt run any faster.  That is also i was doing the droop mod and why i will do it to my new one.  This time though i wont fail!!!  If i come to find that i'm not getting enough out of my memory i might get that ddr booster.  Does that ddr booster help you to be able to lower timings though or just increase stability at high frequencies?

extra volatge = tighter timings at higher FSB's + added stability overall (but more heat as well) Smiley

Well strange results but i finally got this thing stable at a decent speed.  Who would have ever thought more voltage would equal less stable...not me.  Anyway...the droop mod didnt work for me...dont know why.  I checked the soder joints but all that happened was vcore was about 100mV higher than what was set in the bios no matter what resistance the pot was.  Since i dont have a DMM i couldnt really check to make sure everything was correct (obviously something isnt) but no matter what i did the vcore still drooped.  At 3.75 i could boot at defualt vcore up to 1.6.  After 1.6 it wouldnt even boot til it got to 1.7v.  However it wasnt stable at either.  I finally found that 3.67 at 1.6v which is a 245Mhz fsb was as high as i could go.  Any higher and it would reboot while priming and folding.  Any increase in voltage would cause instability or just a fail to load windows.  Temps are great with my tornado and sp-94.  Never gets over 44C while priming and folding at the same time.  So i'm slightly disapointed not reaching my goal of a 250Mhz fsb but its still pretty darn fast.

i wounder why its not that great in 3dmark01? probly the drivers or somthing. you would think that the driver makers would do somthing about the weakness in 3dmark01. how bad is the 6800gt in 3dmark anyways?

Hmm...comparing it to bert's X800XT-PE's compare link...it seems that the X800 is a lot faster in the low detail tests, by 100fps in one of them...

Imo, I would use 3dmark03 for these newer cards, it seems to give a more accurate rating, although it is more gpu-dependant then 3dmark01 i've found...

Well i dont know if using rivatuner to set the LOD is really an acceptable tweak but in my researching i have found that that is why my 01 score is so low.  By using the tweak i gained almost 1500 points.  Also, my benchmark results line up with all the other ones on the orb when doing a compare matching my cpu and gpu.  Here is the new compare link.  The nature test gained 74fps!!  All other tests pretty much remained the same.

You're getting higher each time! Still 23.5k aint too bad for 3d01, and your 3d03 score is still great! Good luck with tweaking it more!

Hey skid what are your clock speeds on your gt.  I'm running my ultra at 450-1.25.  I havent tried any other drivers yet besides the 61.77 so i dont know if i could gain any more points or not.  Your AMD is probably what is beating me for all the other benchies.  Also, the LOD tweek only helped my nature score.  However, the image quality is really bad when using it so i dont know if i really want to post that as my highest score bc i would never play any games with that tweak on.

Opps sorry missed this thread.  I'm running my GT at 365/1.07 (it overclocks like crap).  I'm sendning this card back to eVGA tomorrow though and upgrading to an Ultra.  I'm going to try the LOD tweak real fast before I do though.
