Cheap Processor Upgrade? - Page 35

banias would work. no reason for it not to since the bsel is read by the motherboard to determine fsb.

there are just no banias that are 533fsb. also it is unclear what the banias will overclock to. it shouldnt be really worth it. 2.0 would probably be a max with default cooling vcore etc

Guys,

You are just incredible.

I am about to perform pinmod on my brand new 6000D with 1.6ghz 400FSB Pentium M 725.

Wish me luck.

Another pinmod success story

My 6000D is now 2.13 ghz.

Idle 28 C.
Full load 49 C (Prime95 and MPEG2 encoding).

16 minutes of DV AVI converted into mpeg2 in 20 minutes.

Voltage 1.26 V stable.

Thank you all!!!!

Could the tread-starter post the sucess rate in post 1? I am tempted to go for the 1.86/400 pinmod, but isn`t sure about if it will work. Sure others have tried before, but 46 pages of postes is a lot of reading. Is it worth trying the 1.86 pinmod?

???????????????????????????
Where did you see anything about being able to pin mod a 1.86??????????????
Do yourself a favor and read the sticky "A Photo Guide for Pin Modding 9300/XPS and Applying AS5 to GPU"
Your chances of getting a 1.8/400 to run reliably and cool are less than 50%.

OK, I am perfectly aware that it should be a 400 FSB CPU, was a little quick when assuming that the 1.86 version also existed in a 400 FSB version. And the 1.8/400 is less than 50% you say. Well I have to stick with my 1.6@2.13 then.

PS: I have been watching pinmod progress since the first guy posted about it, but I lost track while beeing on vacation :- )

Since I have actually read this entire thread (yes I need to find a new hobby) I'll give some off the cuff numbers:

1.5/1.6 GHz => 2.0/2.13 GHz ................. 100%
(I've not heard of any failures)

1.7 GHz => 2.26 GHz ............................ 90%+ (all recent reports have been sucessful however some earlier attempts didn't work without volt mods. I think that there was one report where it just didn't work at all)

1.8 GHz => 2.4 GHz .............................. less than 50%
(I have read a couple reports of a 1.8 chip doing 2.4 GHz with stock voltages however most require volt mods and some just can't do it.)

2.0 GHz => 2.66 GHz ............................ 0 %
(Yes, it has been tried. There is a report of a 2.0 chip running stable at 2.53 GHz with a software underclock and heavy volt modding so it may be possible to get one stable at 2.66 GHz but I question whether there are any laptops that can handle the extra heat at that speed.


These are NOT scientific numbers they are just educated guesses but I think they are fairly acurate.

Hope this helps,

Martian

If the cpu doesn't post, like fans start and lights light up but know visual. Could this be a problem from heat and could modding the heatsink help at all?

Are there any downsides to this? I'm getting a Z70Va and I can get a 1.86 for about 260, or I can pin mod a 1.6 for about 210. Will the 1.6 be hotter than the 1.86?

i think the 1.6 is the much better deal. youd be seeing 2.13 out of it. it'd run the same heat as a 2.13 or maybe even lower if you undervolt it

Can someone help me with this, i did the pinmod from 1.7->2.26 with copper and silver wire and for both, my laptop just freezes (after about 2 hours of idling) and I have to restart. I have tried running prime95, it runs for like 1 sec and stops saying i have 1 error. Tried running superpi 1M and got like 34 sec but when running at a higher length it would give me an error. Does this mean i need a voltmod?

Its not stable, so yes you need a voltmod but I wouldnt increase the voltage in a laptop...

I would get a 1.6ghz, and try that. I have yet to see a 1.6ghz pinmod fail

The last few people doing 1.7 have reported failure. Maybe Intel is loosening the spec.

Could this be the difference between buying OEM and retail processors ?

is it possible to volt mod and use something like RMclock to change the voltage down if i don't want it so high?

IMO the difference between 2.13 GHz and 2.26 Ghz is not worth volt modding. Get a 1.6 GHz and go for the sure (as far as I know) thing.

If you really must have 2.26 GHz I would try a different 1.7 GHz CPU and see if you have better luck.
