Ok, I need some help from the pin mod pros. I got my 2.0GHz from a 700m. I've got my jumpers from B16<->C16 and then F4<->G4. As I understand that should give me 1.596v. Well, I get about 95% done loading the BIOS and it stops. Should I try to up the volts or just say it can't do it.

Same thing happened for me. The chances of a 755 chip doing 2.66 even with 1.6V is still very slim (maybe 5 out of 100). I just dont have the time or money to go through dozens of chips just to get a slight boost.

And how much does he want now? $400 plus shipping?

Well, first I tried stock and nothing. Then I tried VID4. Then VID4 and VID0. Then VID4 and VID1.Then I thought maybe it was too much V's so I tried VID0, VID1 & VID2 and still nothing. I guess this chip just can't do it.

I can see why he's charging so much. It takes a lot of labor to go through and test 70+ chips and pick out a few good ones. Being a college student, I'm almost constantly broke or in debt. Plus, I think I'm content for now with 2.4ghz.

I just got a used 755 off ebay, and popped it in with the pin-mods.

I must have gotten really lucky! I paid $250, I see 760's selling for about $250 everyday. You'll basically be out some time and some shipping, just a few $$$, if it doesn't work, then pay the extra $$ to mr. chip-sorter.
