My recollection is there has only been 1 failure at 1.6.

I just wanted to report that I suscefully pin modded my Inspiron 9300 following this guide. I used a M725 1.6 Dothan, everything is running great also I applied Altic Silver 5 to the CPU and the GPU and got a temperature drop of about 8 degrees for each.

If anyone is interested there is a very good thermal compound remover available called Arctic Silver ArctiClean I used it on the CPU, GPU and heat sinks, it left them spotless.

Thanks for writing this guide Why0Why. [IMG]attachment.php?attachmentid=9479&d=1146361300[/IMG]

I do not understand how a video card can be "cough", in production "cough" for 3 days, but there it sits. Oh ya , It`s the weekend.."LOL"

All, I need some advice about doing this mod. Please read and be gentle:

1 - I am (was) planning on modding my i9300 (1.6 GHz, 533 FSB) laptop to 2.13 GHz.

2 - I purchased a 1.6 GHz, 400 MHz FSB Dothan and a new palrest/keyboard.

3 - The warranty on my unit was set to expire at the end of April so I purchased an extended 2 year warranty from Dell.

4 - I am pretty much set to do the mod BUT I am concerned that if I do the mod I will effectively void the $170 warranty I just bought. I am considering just replacing the palmrest/keyboard and leaving it at that.


What would you do? Do you pinmod (and void your new warranty) or sell the chip and be happy with your current configuration? I did not spend $170 on a warranty just to be told that it is unuseable.

Thanks for your replies.

i did the 1.6~2.13 successfully too. i figure i'll pull the pin if it needs service. you should be fine as that is not a very agressive overclock. i actually undervolt mine, so they can't say i'm running hot. good luck!

OK then, I appreciate all of your replies to my concerns. I have all the parts I need to do this mod except for the AS5. I bought some off Ebay but the seller was so slow in shipping that I just cancelled the order.

A lot of people are recommending that I mod my unit, save my 1.6 533 FSB chip and replace it if I need warranty service. Has anyone ever SUCCESSFULLY done this where their pin-modded i9300 needed to be returned to it's original state and sent into Dell for service? I am just curious if anyone had done this and been denied.

Thanks ...

There is no way they could tell if you put your old chip back in.
