from their instructions (cut n paste):

Using the remainder of the compound you applied to the base of the heatsink, tint the bottom of the heatsink in the area where the CPU core will contact it. Put a finger into a plastic bag and thoroughly rub the compound into the base of the heatsink using both clockwise and counter-clockwise circular motion. This will ensure optimum filling of the microscopic valleys in the metal.

DO NOT use your bare finger to apply or smooth the compound (skin cells, and oils again)

Re-clean the heatsink surface with a LINT FREE cloth. Do not use any solvent or fluid. You may notice that the base of the heatsink is slightly discolored even after all the compound would seem to have been removed. That is the Arctic Silver thermal compound filling the microscopic valleys.

Re-clean = wipin' it off, BEFORE applyin' it for good...

hope this helps...

If you scroll up it says to do this only with Arctic silver 1, 2 and 3.

well i talked to the AS guy for quite a long time and he said to do it... their instructions (as SOOO many cpys) are prolly not really that up to date and/or they don't put the proper time into doin' 'em...

if you know the logic behind it, then i think you'll see that it's a good idea... certainly won't hurt and might help...

btw, he told me they we're really doin' a great biz 'cause of this forum... lol

To be honest, I don't think AS5 is all that sensitive to how you do it as long as there isn't way too much or way too little on there. I didn't wipe off anything when I applied it to my CPU but it still has dropped 6-7 degrees. I just hope applying it to the GPU will cool it off enough for me to OC it some more..

I didn't apply it to the heatsink either, and my temps seem to be fine. I haven't really noticed the temperature lower than it used to be with the old 1.6, but it's only been a day and I imagine this new oc'ed proc will run a bit hotter anyway. I'm not going to go back in there to mess with it unless I notice the temp spiking to unreasonable temps. But if I were to do it over again I would probably apply it to the heatsink considering the rep said it would help.

Will the pin Mod work in a M70?

I just got a great deal (again - ended up returning the last one) on an m70 at Dell outlet. The only downside to the deal was the 1.6 Ghz processor. However, the CPU I put in the MSI 510C barebones I've been using is a 1.6 Ghz dothan... Anyone try this mod on the M70? I think it should work fine since the chipset is the same. The only difference may be the tear down. Any experiences with the M70 or advice with respect to this mod?

On a note about lapping, I do that on all my desktop heatsinks still and I used to do that to my desktop CPU themselves. Back then everyone was calling it "sanding the slug" when it came to the CPU. My graduate lab had a polishing wheel and I had access to diamond pastes all the way down to 0.25 micron. Those things were nearly perfect mirrors when I was done with them! Back then the big thing was turning 300 Mhz celerons into 450 Mhz celerons.

Inspirion 6000 overclocking cpu options!

Hi,

Ok, I have heard about overclocking the 6000 and the 9300/xps,

has anyone here tried the following cpus and gotten stable results from the
400-533 fsb socket mod with the following 400fsb processors?

Intel Pentium Mobile 735 1.7GHz 2Mb L2 Cache Retail
Intel Pentium Mobile 745 1.8GHz 2Mb L2 Cache Retail
Intel Pentium Mobile 755 2.0Ghz 2Mb L2 Cache Retail

I have my eyes on the 745 (400fsb) model above, has anyone tried this
on the inspirion 6000?

please post your results

Thanks
Andrew

I have successfully completed the pinmod in my i6000. My original CPU was a 1.6 GHz, 533 MHz FSB (Pentium M 730). I'm now running a 1.7 GHz, 400 MHz FSB (Pentium M 735) @ 2.26 GHz, 533 MHz FSB. My 1M superPI calculation time was reduced from 45 seconds to 35 seconds

Check this out though -- When using default voltage (not running RMclock, just stock), my first couple of tests with Prime 95 failed between 1-2 hours. I then ran RMclock, left it at default voltage, and it primed overnight with no errors. How strange is that? Out of curiosity I closed RMclock and primed again, and it failed after an hour. Does RMclock do something else that the BIOS doesn't do in regards to the voltage? I don't have a problem running RMclock to stabilize these conditions, but why am I getting errors without RMclock running?

It is very strange indeed but I am glad you asked this question.
I will be trying my 1.7 SL7EP @ 2,26 soon and if I got those errors I would not have thought about RMclock.

Any ideas if this will work on my Sony S-260 with the 1.73ghz 400mhz fsb chip?

It will only work with laptops that use the new Intel 915 chipset. It looks like the S-260 uses the old Intel 855 chip, so no It won't work

Sorry,

Martian

Does anyone know if putting in the wire incorrectly/using the wrong kind of wire can fry the cpu/mobo?

(I just recieved my cpu in the mail today~)

Thread Starter 
Any kind of conductive wire will work. Normally copper or aluminum(silver, gold, platinum will work too Not sure what will happen if you jump the wrong pins, probably nothing in most cases. The pins are clearly labeled though, so you shouldn't have any problems.

Halp halp halp! I'm in the middle of doing this, and I think I may have dropped the wire onto the mobo somewhere. I have looked all around the socket, and everywhere in the general vacinity of the socket, but can't find it. I think it may have actually flown out of the laptop. Will this mess up the laptop if it is still in there when it is running? (Assuming answer is yes, but i'm hoping)

i'd turn it upside down over a clean, solid light colored sheet and shake the hell outta it... if ya can't find it, i'd use a magnet all around the area where you were wkin'...

good luck

I shook it about 5 times total, I'm 99% sure it's out. My friend and I are going to run to walmart and get a torx set. I might pick up some compressed air while I'm there if it's cheap just to make sure it's out.

Hey everybody, nice work here!

I have pin modded many AMD cpu's so far but having a little difficulty doing my lappy.

I have an Inspiron 2200(cheapo system, can't complain for my needs and the low price I paid) with a Celeron M 1.4Ghz here(it is a Dothan) and the system does have the 915 chipset. So from everything that I see, the mod should work the same and would give me a boost up to 1.85GHz so today, I went to work and pulled it apart and when I unlocked the screw to remove the cpu, it looked unlocked, but I can't get the cpu out! I tried moving the screw again... no luck, the cpu is stuck in the socket... I can't get it out! Anyone else having this problem? I have worked on older Dell lappy's with P3M cpu's, which use the same socket( or very similar) and they all came out very easy. Dell didn't happen to start gluing the cpu's in did they?
