I'll be getting the M1710 with a T7200 and 7950GTX

Just curious what the T7200 can typicaly be pushed to without any extra cooling or V mods.

Also what programs are you using to do this, I'd love to get another 200Mhz out of it, am i asking to much?

You are only able to Overclock the T7600G chips. So your not going to get anything out of the T7200.

Sorry.. Hopefully someone finds a way to make it happen, but so far..

Is it because the Multipliyer is locked?

What about pushing the FSB a little bit?

No clue what is locked, but when you look in the BIOS the entire option is grayed out.

How would you increase the FSB?

the 7600G can be overclocked because it is multiplier unlocked. No dell laptop bios has ever supported fsb oc'ing.
No one has ever managed to hack a dell laptop bios for overclocking either (AFAIK).

You will not be able to overclock your t7200 unless you pull it out of the laptop and put it in a desktop MB that is desigened to support merom cores. Of course, then you have a desktop and not a laptop, and you'd be better off with a desktop chip...

What about windows based overclocking tools?

I know lots of people were using that with the Acer Ferrari's for overlclock...

As stated above, NOTHING will work. The multiplier is locked, so your ONLY option would be the FSB. And since the BIOS on Dell's mobo does not allow any FSB above 667, that could only be done by modifying the BIOS.

And if you successfully do that, I will love you forever

lol, i dont know the first thing about modifying BIOS's. Plus, my GF already loves me

Thanx for the info... Which alse leads me to my next question, is the performance difference between the 2ghz or 2.16 at all noticible? Will i regret not getting a slightly faster proc.... the 2.33 seems to be out of my pricerange.

If you think the 2.33 (T7600) is out of your price range, you should see the price difference for the 2.33 (T7600G). Dell is really raking people over the coals for this.

Actually Dell is not raking ppl over the coal the price difference is do to Intel. The price difference it basicly the same as buying an extreme proc over a standard proc on a desktop. Since the T7600g is currently a limited production proc and Dell is the only selling it you have to (unfortunately) expect the price to be a bit higher. Hopefully the sells of the proc go well and Intel likes what they see and put the procs in to mass production so the prices will come down.

I have overclocked my Rock Xtreme XTC laptop to with a T7200 to 2.29GHz which is stable after running prime95 for 3days.
I can push it to just to a max of just below 2.4 but it is unstable.
The increase framerate in Rainbow Six Vegas, TDU and Stalker has been brilliant.

I simply used clockgen

Clockgen tools will not work on ANY dell notebook due to locked and secret PLLs only a XPSM1710 system with a T7600G will be able to OC.

Oh my apologies, I assumed when everyone was saying it was locked they meant they couldnt change in the bios which is the same as with the Rock laptops.

Thats ashame.

wonder if anyone has tried to hack the dell bios...surely some nerd has found out something

Yeah why can't somebody hack the Dell BIOS?
They managed to hack the GPU BIOS, so why not the other BIOS too..

The bios hackers are here no more afaik...It is much easier to interprete the hex digits of a vbios than the executable of the system bios

Can you explain what a locked and secret PLL is?

PLL stands for Phase Lock Loop.. it'a an electronic circuit that controls an oscillator so that it maintains a lock on the frequency of a specific input, or reference, signal. A PLL ensures that a communication signal is locked on a specific frequency and can also be used to generate, modulate, or demodulate a signal and divide a frequency. A crystal oscillator is used for a reference signal for the PLL.

If you do not know who makes the PLL chip there is no way to access or modify the frequency.


In lamens terms It provides the signal that maintains the speeds of the busses on the system. Unless you know who makes it there is no way to alter that signal.

Considering these are 1st page results for t7200 overclock, I figured I'd correct some outdated information.
The above replies stating that overclocking is impossible were posted before the pinmod was widely known.
Overclocking the 7200, as well as many other processers, is not only possible, but pretty easy.

Here is a link to the thread.
