Giving some credit to those here who've worked so hard on it? He should at least do that.

more cache helps the cpu run faster, but is not manditory for this pin mod. 400fsb is required though.

Took mine apart for the second time this week, this time with a Torx driver, and applied AS to the GPU and graphics memory. Idle temperature seems to have dropped to 52c from 57c before, so well worth it.

Unfortunately I broke one of the Torx screws trying to tighten it too hard; I think the heatsink plate should be OK cos the other three are still holding it on, but it's still a nuisance.

Yeah, I'd never used one of those Torx screws before...will be more careful in future! Do you know if I can buy a replacement screw for it?

That's how I ended up with a 7800GTX!

Compaq made the Torx famous, what a pain! It should be fine with 3 on it. I am surprised it broke, the springs acted as a ratchet on mine.

OK thanks, got a bit worried when I realised the end had come off! Stupid screwheads, what's wrong with a standard crosshead?!

it probably keeps the average joe from opening it. I had a hard time finding one locally that was the right size (T-8).

Hello,

First am sorry for asking such newbie questions but it's been like 2 hours browsing and couldn't find what i wanted to ask

Anyway, I have an HP Pavilion dv1071ea that comes with an Dothan but i don't know which Mother Board it has but i think the 850 not 915 so here's the questions

1) Which Mother board do i have? look at :



2) If it's 850, the pin mod will not work right? What will happen if i tried it? will i frie something??

3) is there anything else that can be done to increase the perfermance (even a small enhancement) ??

Thx
