Asus P4PE w/ P4 2.4 o/c'd to 3.0g 1.575v on air. I'm wary of going higher since i'm only on air cooling. Temps are 39C idle and 51C load and system is stable. 6 hrs looping 3Dmark on a 9700pro with no problems. Has anyone here had better success with air cooling on this chipset?

processor is a p4 2.4 (400mhz) B0 stepping if that matters.

I have that mobo to, i got my 2.8 to 3.06 after that it starts to crash. The best program to test cpu overclocking is Prime95 because games and 3d mark mostly streses videocard. I can get it to 3240 but then it would freeze or crash or games would just quit. My cooling is also good at 3240 it was 37c idle and 50 max

The 845 PE chipset is designed for 100 & 133 FSB operation. You are not even at 133FSB if you are ~3GHz with a 2.4GHz P4 with 100FSB stock. I'd be more concerned about the CPU giving out (RAM settings can be adjusted to compensate if your RAM can't keep up).

As reference I can tell you that I run a 845GE (similar chipset) at 167MHz FSB and this poses no problems at all. The PE should be able to do the same. Of course this varies, but you are more or less guranteed 146MHz FSB on these chipsets. That would place your CPU at 3.5GHz and I doubt you will get there even with extreme cooling (of course, it could happen).

heh I've got a P4PE, and a 2.4B cpu. My cpu idles in the low 40's at stock speeds (and mid 40's on a hot day (like a 35c+ degree day)), and my friend has one and gets similiar temps too. I'm not too happy to be overclocking considering I'm already at those temps.

i'm running an iWill P4HT with a 2.4B OC'd to 3.19 (my best and most stable), but i clocked down to 2.8 after a stop 0X000000007F error, and the voltage core is 1.6 at 2.8, and 1.9 at 3.19.

finally.. i been looking for a group of guys who has the same board as mine n see if you guys could help me out for the best OC setup for this board just cant past 125 fsb. any help would be real great
thanks in advance

heres my benckmark guys. its also written here how i OCed everything
score was 13363

thing is i cant get past 125 fsb so im thinking of getting ddr 2700 or ddr 3200

That pc2100 stick is definitely holding back your overclock. You're right about looking into faster ram, go for the 3200 btw.

I'll be getting Geil 3200 and looking into a watercooling setup to increase my overclock too.

which one do you think is a better memory, kingston, crucial or micron?
its hard to find corsair or other high end memory here and i dont feel like ordering online cause i got screwed too many times doin that way.
i just like to deal in person that way if somethings wrong with the device, i could get it change right away

Hi all.
I'm using an Iwill P4HT too , with a P4 1.8A oveclocked @ 2.75 ( 1.60 Volts).
When i raise the voltage above 1.70 and fsb 157 i have problems booting or rebooting the computer ...Has anyother with the same mobo , this problem?

I have a 845PE board with a P4 2.4B OCed @ 3.15 Ghz, my FSB is currently 175 w/Vcore @ 1.575. Running smooth, no probs so far, *knocks on wood*. This Albatron board is specifically designed for OCing tho, it has two bioses.
