Soyo's any good anymore?

I have built three home computers over the past three years, in my spare time. Each home computer has a SOYO motherboard. I built two based on SOYO SY-P4I Fire DRAGON motherboards in early 2002, when they were new and available on sale. These were considered fully featured motherboards at the...

Soyo SY-P4I875P

This setting automatically configures the memory latency settings. Normal uses conservative settings, while turbo uses the fastest settings compatible with your memory.

Overclocking PC3200 to PC4000

I have a system based on a SOYO SY-P4I875P motherboard with a P4 2.8GHz 800MHz FSB CPU, and I would like to try overclocking the FSB speed to 1000MHz+. I would prefer to keep the CPU-to-DRAM ratio synchronous at 1:1. Currently, I have two sticks of Corsair CMX512-3200C2 running at DDR400 with...

soyo p4875p dragon 2 platinum.. any body have this board..

Has anyone used the latest "overclocked" BIOS revision P4CW4A3R for this motherboard released on 7/24/2003? If so, have you noticed any significant performance improvements or instabilities with this BIOS. Currently, I'm using BIOS revision P4CW4AA2, which includes the 0.8 DRAM:CPU divider...

SOYO claims that the SY-P4I875P also will support the Prescott CPUs. They state this in the SY-P4I875P Manual on page 3 as well.

I contacted SOYO technical support today by phone, and the agent e-mailed me a copy of the most recent BIOS file for this motherboard (pc4w603r.bin). I was told by this agent that this BIOS has the 0.8 DRAM:CPU divider, but it is still in BETA testing and it has not been released for download...

Newegg.com will waive the 15% restocking fee if you are replacing an RMA'd item. You just need to call their customer service at (800) 390-1119 to request that it be waived. You will need to supply the customer service agent with your new order number. This is hinted at on their RMA FAQ page...

DocACE, I am running a system with this motherboard right now. I just put it together last weekend, so I am still tweaking it and playing with software settings. I got the motherboard from NewEgg.com, who has the best price for it at $190. I would appreciate getting a copy of the BIOS that...

DocACE, What BIOS revision is it? Is it the same as the BIOS available online? Does it provide the 0.8 DRAM:CPU ratio? Is this multiplier available only for P4 CPUs with the 800MHz FSB?

Soyo 875Pro - 5:4 or 3:2 memory divider?

DocACE, I don't have a definite answer for you about the "CPU:DRAM ratio" for this motherboard. As I had stated in another thread, according to the manual, the available "DRAM:CPU ratio" settings in the BIOS are AUTO (1:1), 1.33 (4:3), and 1.25 (5:4). However, on page 19...

I'd like to know the same thing. According to the manual, the available "DRAM:CPU ratio" settings are AUTO (1:1), 1.33 (4:3), and 1.25 (5:4). Of course, these are stated in reverse of the common convention (1:1, 3:4, and 4:5). I suspect that AUTO could also include 0.8 (4:5), or 5:4 by the...

8PENXP.....where can i get it?

Weird1468, Thanks for the info. However, for that price, it would be FAR more reasonable to just get a GA-8KNXP from a vender here in the USA, particularly if the motherboard is defective and must be returned to the retailer for a replacement.

Steeldragonnyc, I have a SOYO SY-P4I Fire Dragon motherboard that I used to build a computer system in March 2003, and what jaeger66 stated about their lack of BIOS support is absolutely correct. This motherboard is based on the Intel 845B-step chipset with support for DDR266 and Intel P4 CPUs...

PR497, Thanks for the information. You described exactly what I was planning on doing, although "temporary" for me might be more like 6 months to 1 year, depending on my pocketbook and CPU prices. My main goal is to build a computer now with a MB that is highly upgradable, but saving on other...

Thanks, Jaeger66! I had not seen the description regarding improved support for Willamette CPUs in BIOS version F5. I wonder how the Gigabyte technicians who told me that a 400MHz FSB is not supported by this MB are going to explain this? Maybe they will stop feeding me BS and actually put me...

Caboob, Thanks for the reply. I'm not expecting that the 800MHz FSB will ever be supported OFFICIALLY by the BIOS for this MB, since it is not officially supported by the BIOS for the ASUS P4G8X. However, THG's testing shows that the ASUS MB is able to identify and operate normally with the...

Recently, I read an article on THG from 4/29/03 reporting that the ASUS P4G8X MB is capable of supporting the newest Intel P4 3.0GHz CPU with an 800MHz FSB. The author seems to imply that this holds true for all E7205 based MBs, but he only reports data for the ASUS MB, making me question if he...

I realize that this question might not interest the more hardcore participants in this forum, but I am in the process of replacing the motherboard of an existing system that has a P4 400MHz FSB CPU. If I get the GA-8KNXP, will I need to replace the CPU as well? More specifically, does this MB...
