Good Luck! the 1.7 has a much higher success rate. i went from 1.6 to 2.13 and sold my "old" 1.7 for what i paid for the "new" one, so it was a great deal. either way, enjoy the process. don't forget to put some AS5 on the heatsink for your CPU and Video Card.

Well, I just got the 1.8 from eBay for AUS$132 (US$97) !
I realise the 1.7 has a much higher success rate, but Im keen to give the 1.8 a go...I like playing with things...

Oh and I bought some AS5 on eBay to, so I'll do the GPU at the same time as doing the CPU mod...

I'll post results when I get it going...

Its in and going!

Wouldnt get into Windows @ stock voltage.
I shorted F1-F2 and F3-F4 (VID1 & VID?)

I also applied AS5...CPU idle temp @ 30!!! (even though its forced to 2.4GHZ all the time, not using speedstep).
I applied AS5 to GPU also, but temps seem to idle around 48 in Vista. Might need to re-apply the AS5 to the GPU.

Whats the best way to benchmark the CPU compared to others?

Thanks to all the poeple who have put in the effort to get these mods going and let others know so much!

Also, just curious...Vista still reports the CPU as being a 1.8 @ 400 FSB...is this normal? i9kfangiu is reporting 2.4GHz as is the BIOS so I am sure all is well...

Thats odd Vista shows 1.8 ghz chip running at 2.4ghz for me on my friends 9300 with the same pin mod.

well the cpuid string will still say 1.8ghz. however, if you look at the clock, it's actually 2.4ghz. nothing wrong with that. not sure about vista, i can't ever use it for more than 20 minutes at a time before losing my mind and reformatting back to something more realistic.

but in winxp, in the system properties, it shows pentium m 1.5ghz and then it says 2.0ghz for me.

the first is the cpuid string and the second is the actual speed.


your cpu should run 800mhz/2.4ghz lo/hi


edit: congrats by the way! voltmod or not, 2.4ghz ain't shabby

Thanks

Yea I just installed the latest build (5456, released a few days ago) and it is reporting 1.8 and 2.4 so its all ok now!

does it also works with a 2.0 Ghz processor?

In theory yes I think it is, but it would require a decent increase in voltage, which may get a little hot for the notebooks cooling abilities...I might look into it in a few months when finances allow it...

Hey I have a question. I recently PM'ed my 9300 from 1.6-> 2.13. Ran Prime 95 for 16-18 hours with no problems. The question is that my system switches to 800 MHz from 2.13 if I am not doing anything even on AC power. Is that because of the Intel speedstep of it just my processor acting wierdly.

I think its speedstep but just want to make sure therez nothing wrong.

Also Right mark shows my CPU load above 90% where as my cpu usage in task manager is 5-10%. Whats that about ?

speed step.

the cpu load isnt really 90%. that's the idle clocks and what intel chip is doing in speed step.

Celeron 380 upgrade to Pentium M

I just bought this Toshiba a105-s101 laptop yesterday Tiger Direct

It has a Celeron M 380 1.6 ghz processor. Here is the Celeron M 90nm settings from Intel http://www.intel.com/distributed/mod...ronm_spec.html

Its 400 fsb and 1 mb cache

The chipset for this motherboard I think is ATI Radeon® Xpress 200M. I'm pretty sure I can upgrade the celeron M to a pentium M. Now is it possible for me to buy the pentium M 1.6 ghz 400 fsb 2 mb cache and pinmod it in this motherboard so that it can be overclocked to 2.13 ghz? I just want to know if this chipset is suitable for the upgrade. Its new so I think the 200m will support the pentium m processor

ok i want to do this since my CS:S frames suck butt.

only 1 thing holding me back......this is really a school laptop hench i need battery life.

will 1.6 400fsb pin modded to 2.13 @ 533fsb make my battery life go down ? and if so around how many mins do you think.

It won't be any worse in battery life @ 2.13 than a real 2.13.

And if it's a p-m and not just a c-m, then it'll have speedstep, so it'd be able to run in low mode @ 800mhz, which is the norm for 133fsb models, as opposed to 600 with the 100fsb ones.

If you'll be underclocking as well (which youll most likely be abel to do) you may actually pick up some battery life, especially since youll be spending most of your time in low mode @ 800mhz.


For instance, low is usually 0.988V @ 6X. So rather than running 600mhz @ 0.988V, you'll be running 800mhz @ 0.700V, or if that doesnt work (I've had 2 715s that both worked @ 0.700V at 6x), then you'd actually possibly pick up 10-15 min.


I'm very unsatisfied with the high capacity battery in my i6000 though. It's been one year and I haven't even used the battery too much and it's at about 40% life left. I used to get about 3.5hrs with decent usage and now it's about 2 or a little less with lighter use.

I had a toshiba that never lasted long-- about 2 hours, but even after 2 years of ownership, it was still lasting 2 hours. Oh well

ok thanks man. so battery life wont change if i control it like i have been on my 1.73ghz with CHC.

now i wish i could sell my 1.73 ghz 533fsbcpu for more than the 1.7 ghz 400fsb one. they are like the same price thats kinda not cool

1 more question i a few posts up about if it doesnt boot up with stock voltages you volt mod it? how do you do that? just in case worse comes to worse.

Word of caution: You CAN overtighten the torx screws on the gpu. I broke the bottom of my torx screw off into the board by doing this.

uhh.. does applying AS5 on either the GPU or CPU void warranty? Im 80% sure but just need confirmation X_X

I just put a 7800gtx go into my I9300---did all the power upgrades, flashed the bios, etc.When I put the gpu in I went ahead and pulled the thermal tape, cleaned up the surfaces, & applied as5.
I reassembled the computer just enough to boot it up to make sure all was working so far---which it is.I downloaded the 91.31 drivers from http://www.tweaksrus.com & everything appears OK.
However, when I check the idle temp for the gpu I get a range of 50-58c from coolbits & 44-52c from I9kfangui with fans on low.Ambient temp in mid 70's.
First of all, is this an acceptable idle range for this setup?
Why the 6 deg. difference in reading & which is more reliable?
I have not put any load on the gpu, nor do I want to until I'm sure the idle temps are within tolerance.Since I installed this & put the as5 on at the same time I have nothing to comp it to.It just seems high for idle, but maybe not.
Thanks in advance for your views.

what would the highest acceptable temp to run a 735 at?

Bingham,
Those seem like reasonable temps to have for the 7800gtx. I have a i9300 that has been fully modded with a 2.26ghz non-pin modded CPU and the 7800gtx and the vid card runs 45-50c idle. The CPU runs at 30-34c idle.

As for the difference in temps, I use ifangui and trust the readings. It uses the sensors on the board and accesses the temps through your system BIOS. So I would say that they are a pretty good source for system temps. I can't comment on coolbits since I haven't ever used it but sufficeth to say that do a quick google and find out if it uses the same means as ifangui to detect system temps, or it may rely on whatever means that the Nvidia control panel uses- which tend to be a few degrees celsius higher.

Hope this helps.

Good luck!
