Cheap Processor Upgrade? - Page 19

What's everyone doing with their old 533Mhz processors? Doesn't seem like there's much of a market on eBay.

I am thinking of getting the Asus adapter and putting it on a real motherboard(intel 865 chipset.)

How are the chips doing people? Notice any probs after some more time with them?

Hey, BTW, could one of ya sorta finalize a pin diagram of which pins you are crossing? There's that earlier one which shows the FSB change, but the voltages aren't shown.. I'm not sure which pins you guys are crossing... Something that summarizes it would be really great.

Ziddey's Pentium M FSB Pinmod Guide

Ziddey that's a very nice writeup. Now people will see the link . You could also use that image of the wire bridge in the socket that someone else posted earlier. Would be a great illustration of what you mean there.

I'm debating on whether to go after a Pentium M 1.7 or 1.6. I am not overly interested in volt modding the chip so 2.13 may be the goal I shoot for.

i think soemone got 2.26 without voltmod

but even if you cant, you could always use rmclock or a program like that to set the max multi itll use so you still have 2.13. but thats getting a little dependent on software which im personally not a fan of

Here is a link to mine also. They got knocked off the fornt page so quick. I have a link to Ziddey's in there too.

WhyOWhy,
I would like to personally thank you for the write up. i've been lurking in this thread for a while and have been wanting to do it. I even pm'd you once. I have a 700m and a 9300. both with 1.6's. I was wondering what would happen if i swapped procs. I started the process today when i got my replacement 9300.
Wow, it took a while. the 9300 was a sinch. the 700m on the other hand, you have to take the WHOLE MB out and turn it over then you have access to the CPU. I didn't realized this before I started and THANK GOD otherwise I would have given up. half way through, I couldn't really turn back. so I swapped the procs and booted up my 700m to make sure it would work so that I could go on and install the 400fsb proc into the 9300. it did and so I was off.
Here's the nasty part: I got done and was so happy that I finally ran out of screws (had then all put back in place). I booted it up and it turned on. YAY! i thought. until it finished loading. 10 Seconds later, BLUE SCREEN. DAMN IT!!!!!!!!! NO!!!!! My first thought was that I would have to take BOTH lappy's apart to swap the procs back because I didn't have a good OC'ing proc.
I swapped the memory, took out the blue tooth card, tried whatever i could and to no avail, BLUE SCREEN. It's like it was taunting me.
I then remembered that I had RMClock installed and that I had that set to run at certain voltages. I swapped the harddrives with between the 2 9300's I have and with the fresh install Hd, (with bloatware from Dell) It booted right up and didn't blue screen. by that time i had the hd in the other 9300 and Turned off the voltage monitoring, actually I just put it back to stock.
You couldn't believe how happy I was when I was done.
Here I sit with a 9300 with a 2.13. =P

Congrats brigga4u69

Have you tried undervolting your new 2.13GHz CPU to see how much voltage headroom you have compared to stock? This would be useful to know for those contemplating higher speed 400MHz CPUs as their baseline.

Also, what speed did your 1.6GHz 533MHz bus CPU boot up as in your 700m? 1.6GHz or three quarters of that at 1.2GHz from the slower 700m bus?

Noody

I tried undervolting. I'm at 1.292 volts right now. that's about as low as it wants to go. I used to be able to go pretty low with the 1.6. oh well. I guess that's the price you pay right?
Also, in the 700m, it boots up at 1.2Ghz, which for me, is more than enough for word processing and surfing. that's all I really use that laptop for.

Also, I ran prime for an hour and it ran with no tests. from previous overclocking experiances, if it'll run for one hour, It'll be good for most people without any problems.

Excellent work and useful info brigga4u69

Brigga, thanks for the update. I'm glad it worked out. I really think we will almost never see a failure with the 1.6 to 2.13 mod.

Unfortunately for me, my 1.8 --> 2.4 mod on my XPS2 did not turn out well. The laptop would POST and I could get into BIOS. BIOS reported that is was running at 2.4 GHz, but as soon as Windows started to load, BAM, BSOD, Windows has shut down your computer to prevent damage.....STOP 0x0000007E... So I tried grounding Vid3 to give it a little more voltage. No difference, same result. I thought maybe it was just that particula installation of Windows, so I tried a reinstall and it spontaneously rebooted or BSOD'ed during setup. So for now, I'm back at 2.0 GHz. At least I put AS5 on my proc so it runs about 4-5 degrees cooler now.

One note, if anyone pulls the GPU heatsink to put AS5 on, be carefull putting it back on. I read somewhere on this forum that the screws were hard to get to engage when putting them back in. So, I was turning pretty hard to get one of them to engage and the friggin' screw snapped off in the standoff. It doesn't seem to have affected the temps or performance, but just a warning. I guess if it does become an issue, I can buy another heatsink and standoff from Dell small parts.

Oh well, you win some and you lose some... Anyone interested in a (barely) used 1.8 GHz 400fsb Pentium M?

Had a quick question, my wife has a 1.6 in her 700m.. so I think i'll probably be taking that and swaping out my 1.73 and putting the 1.6 in mine and pin modding it, now that I know the 533 chip will work ok in hers.

But as for my question I know the pins are the same so what would happen if you put a piece of wire in the slot on the 700m would it still control the chips bus speed and bump it to 533 or have no effect?

The 700m uses a different chipset, so it won't make any difference. It should run at 1200. 12 X 100fsb.

a 533 cpu already has the bsel configured in that manner. doing the wiremod on a 533 would have 0 effect

the fact of the matter is that the 700m doesnt support 533 and will always revert to 400fsb

1733/133*100=1300mhz

Ok thats what I figured, since I haven't really heard alot about pin modding on the older chipsets. Guess she will have to live with 300 mhz less for her internet browsing and chatting.. I think she can manage, just won't tell her so she doesn't know she lost anything hahaha.

she wont

i mean most of the time when youre clocking down, itll be running at 600mhz anyway

on automode, when i do something intensive, i can definitely feel the lag as it clocks back up. i'm sure she wont notice it much if at all

How about a 1.5 celery?

Ive read through the whole thread and did not see this brought up.

I have an I6000 coming next week.

It has a 1.5 celeron.

Can this be overclocked?

what do you think a 2.0 celeron will be equivalent to?

this thread is awsome, my thanks goes out to those that are helping others.
