Overclock CPU on 9400?

This as been brought up about 50 times (search feature)

NO, there is absolutely no way to overclock the processor. The onlyoverclocking option is to purchase the M1710 & a T7600G processor. The T7600G processor will not overclock in the 9400. This is a feature of the M1710 BIOS. You cannot flash the M1710 BIOS onto the 9400, it will turn it into a paperweight.

The PLL is unknown on these systems. People have tried many times to find a PLL that works. Sorry to dissapoint you.

The only overclocking hack that was available was the Yonah pinmod, which does not apply to these processors. (400---->533MHz)

Hmmm i will do a manual search for a pll on the board next week, maybe i will atleast get a serial number for a start. My local dell warranty rocks so i have nothing to lose :P

I used to know the PLL they used. I forgot what it was. You cannot modify it though. If you want to try be my guest lol but this has been a dscussion here since the Gen 2.

the same happens with the voltage mods, noone really tries so it stays in the dark. try searching your inbox, if you remember the pll y might do some "social ingeniering" to gather information about it.

Bsel-mod may be? T2500

Haha damn this is old...soft fsb or coolfsb or even speedfan these days might be able to overclock that thing via the fsb.
As for voltages, RMclock utility is the best thing on earth for that...even though it hasnt been developed for the last 2 years.

may be you know real 100% working variant?

Oh you're the same guy in the other thread. :P
Um, not really, I would use google and type in "pll e1705" and you might be able to find the pll chip used, then I would download one of the programs I mentioned and try to find that generator. I've heard it's locked but you never know.
I know for 105% SURE that RMclock utility can change the voltage of your cpu though.

As for pinmodding it, I've only done that to a pentium once, and have no idea how you would go about doing it for your cpu...although it's certainly plausible.

105%? This nothing(

Thanks. But I read this page (on links)--
BSEL / FSB mod doesn't with Intel Chipsets
I try now this method
1---FSB 200 wont work--scroll lock light and caps lock blinking.
2---FSB 133 work--T2500 have 1.6GHz, memory 533 (original 667)
To 1--may be problem with memory?
Need processor with 533 FSB?

i am not sure i get what you are saying.

I read this link and checking (trying overclock) with my laptop (e1705)
http://forum.notebookreview.com/hard...ml#post4964438
FSB 200 wont work (error says- on panel indicators--caps light up and scroll flashing on\off). Downclock to fsb 133 work.
Problem with chipset not support 800MHZ? May be need processor with lower fsb (533)?

yeah our chipsets only support up to 667mhz. so 800 won't work, plus the memory wouldn't work at 800 either, meaning your bus speed of 200mhz (x4 duh) can't work.

The highest bus speed you could reach is 166.6mhz

From what you found, thats a goldmine, proving that you can overclock it, but theres a few issues, if the intel chipset finds that you've messed with the fsb it will lock itself into the lowest multiplier. and again, 965 supports it, but the 945 won't go higher than 667.

The pinmod on that thread you're looking at for going from 133 to 166 is A20 to B24, but I think the chipset being an intel would still lock you into the 6x multiplier and you'd end up having worse preformance. Plus it might not even boot if the memory doesn't support 667mhz, being a dell bios.

I think your cpu is already running 533, which is why 133 bus speed works. (bus x 4 = fsb) The only improvement in bus speed would be 166. Since the 945 chipset supports ONLY up to 667. but being intel it'll lock at the lowest multiplier.

I understand...
this is bad news...Laptop is nice...if be can OC it...
Now I be check memory for support SPD 800 with lower clocks (may be 7-7-7-21 or another) and may be try again.

Hmmm maybe I think theres smth called the jdec table or smth that comes with most new laptop memory telling the memory how to behave at certain speeds, I've never seen a 7 as part of a timing set, lowest I've seen are 6s. The only way to tighten up timings I found was to buy 5-5-5-15 ram at 800mhz, and its jdec table stated it ran at 4-4-4-12 at 667, which is how it works in my laptop now. That and you can use programs like setmem or rightmark memory analyzer to adjust your timings, you can adjust EVERYTHING with them, EXCEPT for the CL (first number) timing....which blows being that its fairly important.

If you had a different chipset (not intel) that mod would've worked!! I'm remembering it for future reference
The easiest way for you to overclock is to get a t7600g and to flash your laptop with the m1710 A07 bios. That way you'd get core 2 duo support and be able to have access to all multipliers. If you're interested, the t7600g has a cpuid of SL9U5, and there's many programs out there that let you force flash the m1710 bios (and to extract it from the dell installer program for it).

An m1710 is IDENTICAL to the e1705. The only thing missing are soldered connections for the led lights and sometimes the dock. I'm fairly confident a flash to an m1710 overclockable bios is safe.

You says 945m intel (locks lower multipler even with OC) impossible OC anyway? may be is PLL pin mod?
(memory Hynix 555-15. I think memory not support 800MHz also. I don't have memory with 800 that trying OC whit it)
