The main difference is that the P4C800-E has the ICH5R chipset which runs the SATA through the SB rather then through the PCI Bus...Quote:

While the P4C800 works through the PCI bus...
OMG.. i got the gigabyte 875p mobo (GA-8IK1000).. and its worst then my 865pe.. i can't even boot at 250mhz.. on my 865pe i could boot at 260mhz stock everything .. now i can't get into windows with 250mhz... time to return the mobo and get probably get the P4C800
Perhaps it has stricter memory settings by default? Check to make sure it isn't undervolting (or that the 865pe isn't overvolting). If you want to make a comparison, you've got to make it even. :)Quote:

The Asus boards do undervolt... I would check what memory timings you have since at 250Mhz FSB you WONT be able to use 1:1 :D
Well, unless you're using some of that SUPERB GeIL PC4000 CAS3-4-4-8... *rolls eyes*Quote:

True.. But I am not sure if those are worth it yet...
Hey, I was being sarcastic! :D :p :confused:Quote:

my ram can handle 250 sync on my old mothebroard.. and i didn't get the ASUS one colossus.. i got the gigabyte one... and i checked the timings .. its the same as i had them on my old gigabyte board... i even relaxed the timings and kept them on SPD... DAMNIT! i guess i'll get the asus one
Are you going to return it and pay the restocking fee or what? If so, what is it?
Well did you try Async???? Such as 5:4 since PC3700 is NOT PC4000 :DQuote:

Also did you try vdimm of 2.8v?
Also... I think the problem has more to do with PAT then it does with the motherboard :)
Even with PAT running memory at full speed is difficult...
its werid.. i can't seem to run ato 5:6 divider.. DAMNIT! lol.. lets hope its stable at 270mhz.. which i'm running at right now.. with 3:2 divider
ARRR this is pissing me off.. i can't use the 5:6 divider.. or it won't boot at all or get into windows.. and its unstable at 250 with maxed dimm (2.8v) and i tired using 1.68vcore and still nothing.. i think i'll just exchange the mobo and pick up the IC7-G or the P4C800 tomarrow.. ARRRR!!!!!!!!!!
which mobo should i get.. the Asus mobo is about 30$ cheaper
270mhz with a 3:2 divider... That would put your FSB at 400mhz, would it not?! At first, I thought you meant 2:3 divider, but that would put your FSB at 173mhz... Explain. :)Quote:

its messed too.. because in bio's it says my temps went up crazy Degrees with my water cooling.. i max out at 50degrees full load.. when befor i would never pass 35degrees full load.. trust me ive reseated and recoated the cpu twice.. and still nothing.. and i know applying AS3 at first is suppost to make your temps go high.. but not this much.. 15degrees.. OMG
Sounds like an infant BIOS to me...Quote:
