ASUS P4P800S-E: Standing Out in the Crowd

FSB Overclocking Results
For FSB overclocking, the following setup was used on the P4P800S-E:| Front Side Bus Overclocking Testbed | |
| Processor: | 2.4C Pentium 4 (800MHz FSB) |
| CPU Vcore: | 1.525V (default) |
| Cooling: | Thermalright SK-900U with 120mm Thermaltake Fan |
| Memory: | Two 256MB Corsair 3200LL at SPD |
| Power Supply: | Enermax 350W |
We weren’t surprised to see the P4P800S-E hit a relatively unexciting 262MHz FSB with the above overclocking setup. Compared to FSB overclocks from motherboards such as the DFI PRO875, ASUS P4C800-E, ABIT IC7-G, Gigabyte 8KNXP, and other motherboards, the P4P800S-E’s FSB overclock is considerably worse. Quite frankly, there’s no other way to say this — serious and hardcore overclockers will not think twice about the P4P800S-E, and will instead look at the four motherboards mentioned above for the best overclocking performance available on the P4 market.
For the casual or occasional overclocker, however, the P4P800S-E is a superb choice.

When you do test comparisons, could you please give the reasons for choosing the hardware you used.TheInvincibleMustard - Tuesday, September 16, 2003 - link
It's been asked before, but I'll ask again. Is there some way that you fine folks can highlight on the graphs the motherboard you're reviewing? It adds a lot to the ability to read the graphs meaningfully.Other than that, this sounds like a pretty sweet board for cheap! Good review.
