Pinmod in a 910GML Express chipset works!!!

Thread Starter 
I ordered my m3200 with the 1.5ghz Celeron-M about a month ago. I recently bought a 1.6ghz 400mhzFSB Pentium-M 725 from this forum just because I wanted the Speedstep feature.

I wasn't even considering/wanting to do a pinmod since Intel states that the 910GML chipset won't support 533mhzFSB, but while I was installing the CPU, I thought why not give it a shot just for kicks...

Turns out that it supports 533fsb and some! Most of the Intel 725 pinmods pull about 2.13ghz, but mines staying stable at 2.24ghz and 560fsb!!

Not bad for a $90 upgrade.

That dip in the middle of the graphs is just from me messing with the NHC settings. Sorry about the cramped desktop...

Doesn't the m3200 have the 915GM chipset or is that just the ones that ship with the Pentium M 740-760 w/ 533MHz FSB rather than the Celeron?

Yea, the Celeron-M's ship with the 910GML chipset and Intel claims it will only handle up to 400fsb.

I'll get some screenshots up later of CPU-Z and Intel's Chipset ID Utility.

Yea, I got it all figured out. I only ran the computer at 2.24ghz for probably a total of 3 minutes (including the time I took that screenshot).

I know that those speeds can be dangerous, so I decided to do some research before I used the computer again.

Guess what it was?? Lol...

I had High Performance mode enabled in the BIOS which is fine for slighty overclocking CPUs, but not once you've already overclocked it a good amount.

Turned off that feature and it runs perfectly at 2.13ghz and 533mhzFSB!
