no. banias is old and not what youre looking for
it was made on 130nm process and only had 1mb l2 cache

you want to be looking for dothan or 2mb cache version

I did the AS5 mod on my 9300 nice tutorial you had here next up is my XPS Gen 1 I think it could benefit from the same mod.

Will this pin mod do anything (good or bad) for my i600m (855 chipset supporting only 400mhz bus) with a 1.6 Dothan Pentium M?

I wants me to crunch ze numbers faster!

won't do anything

Would the Pin mod work for this CPU?
http://processorfinder.intel.com/scr...sp?sspec=sl6n5

Its date stamped 2002.


It doesnt look like a dothan so im not sure if it would be a good CPU to OC or not.

Thanks

hmm that's a banias 1.7ghz
banias was built on the older 130nm process and dont scale quite as well as the dothan 90nm process

and even with dothan, 1.7ghz doesnt have close to perfect success rates so i dont know how a 1.7 banias would fare

17x133=2266 etc

if it's a question of whether it would operate at 133fsb, then the answer is yes. it's the motherboard thats determining what speed to run it at, not the cpu itself. the cpu will run at what its told to, assuming its stable

Any thoughts if this would work on the 700m? Its already a 400FSB CPU. It'd be a great way to make that smaller laptop work way faster. Since i have a 2.13Ghz in my XPS2 and a 2GHz in my i9300 its pointless for me. But if a 1.8 runs at 2.4, thats a different story!

Would this mod work with a XPS2 running 2.0 chip? I have 2 xps2's now one with a 2.13 and one with a 2.0. Wouldn't mind modding up the 2.o if it'll work.

Nope those chips are already 533mhz you need to get a chip with the 400mhz I dont see why the pin mod wouldn't work on the xps2

I have an XPS2 which was pin modded to turn a 1.7 Ghz dothans into a 2.26ghz one oh and uh AS5 ROCKS! my max load temp dropped from 57c to 51c idle used to be 49c now its 44c

Just to make sure my thinking is correct here, the motherboard/chipset needs to be 915 (i.e. not a laptop that can only support the 855 chipset)?

Could one expect to have better battery life after changing to an 855 chip?

No, the battery life will be exactly the same @ the same clock speed, a little less @ higher clocks. However, if the CPU is idle, the battery drain will be exactly the same. You can get better battery life by undervolting the cpu using rmclock. With this mod, you can not undervolt as far.

Sorry if this is a newbie question, but how do I check my CPU/GPU temp in Windows?

search the forums for i8kfangui and i9kfangui and you should find what we're using. That only works on certain dell models though.

Ok, I am a proud owner of an I9300 with an overclocked Pentium 1.6 to 2.13GHz cpu.

I noticed that when I went to the Windows System Properties it shows that I have a "Intel(R) Pentium(R) M processor 1.6GHz 2.13GHz" I guess it's just stating that the physical processor is a 1.6GHz cpu running at 2.13 GHz.

EDIT: One tip for you guys who are planning on doing this mod. When I was following the Dell Technical documents on how to take the palm Rest off, it states to take 11 screws off the bottom of the laptop then take the top palm rest off easily. Well, it didn't and I realized that I needed to still take the other screws off like the bluetooth module cover and the CD-ROM BAy lock screw. Good thing I didn't force it off!

What's the failure rate for 1.7@2.26?

Also, how much worse is the batterylife at the pinmodded cpus, the minimum speed is 1ghz right?

unsure about 1.7

the battery life is the same for non-volt modded cpu's. in most cases those that overclock are also using rmclock to undervolt the overclocked processors. i'm running 1.6 overclocked to 2.1 ghz at 1.132 volts where all the stock processors run at 1.3.. so i actually have more battery life than when i started (not much, but a bit more)

400FSB-CPU minimum MP is 8x (8x*100=800MHz)
533FSB-CPU minimum MP is 6x (6x*133=800MHz)

Pinmodded 400FSB-CPU's minimum MP is still 8x, which means 8x*133=1 GHz 1 GHz = more heat and power consumption than 800 MHz.

Don't forget an no-pinmodded CPU can also be undervolted, so compare standard-voltage to standard-voltage, and undervolted to undervolted please. "My pinmodded and undervolted cpu has better batterylife than a standard Pentium M" just sounds stupid.
