hey what would happen if you did this on a 533Mhz P-M? Would it do anything or could it possibly f*** up your system.

It would run at 533 MHz just as it's supposed to.

really? it would be cool if it bumped the fsb up to 666Mhz

My 1.6 -> 2.13 is running at 800MHz right now. That's a 400FSB chip. Look at Everest's Overclock pane to watch it change clocks.

So minimum MP 6, maximum MP 16?

Then 1.7@2.26 for me IT IS

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.
incorrect

both have min multi's of 6.

at 400fsb, this would be 6x100=600mhz

at 533, it would be 6x133=800

I tried to pin mod a dothan 1.5GHZ and it didn't work well for me. :-(
I checked the bios and it said 2.0GHZ. But windows would not boot up. Everytime I tried to start windows it would restart. I had to take it out... I'm one of the very few unlucky ones who couldn't do this mod :-(. I do have a dothan 1.5GHZ in another one of my laptops, I'll just pull it and see if it works and if the one that I bought works in that other laptop, then that would be awesome.

I'm not sure what you are talking about, minimum multiplier on pinmodded 400fsb is still 6x so... what??? Talking like an expert on the subject without actually doing it is what sounds stupid to me.

Standard voltage to standard voltage, well then its 1.3 for both. No change. But the obvious fact is those that overclock are also keen to play around with voltages and compared to a -stock- 9300 they are achieving better battery life and better performance.

could be that it's overheating. did you screw in the heatsink assembly tightly? try removing the thermal interface material and substituting as5 or something

I was just assuming the 400FSBs had a higher min MP cos of the lower FSB. I always thought they had minimum speed of 800mhz (8*100) but they have 600mhz (6*100)

It's not impossible that the chip can't do 2.0GHz. I mean, it's specced for 1.5GHz and Intel bins them so there's a huge spectrum of possibility there. But yeah, you should make sure that the heatsink is on right. If it's not bad things will happen, especially with it overclocked like that. The thermal protection my not slow it down well enough to keep it stable.

Well, it did seem very hot after the overclocking. The only thing that I did differently, was that I simply used rubbing alcohol to remove that gray stuff on the little piece of aluminum. I did not scrape off the aluminum pad that was on the heatsink. Could that be the reason why I am getting the crashes? Btw I used AS5, and I tightened it semi-hard, because I was kind of afraid of cracking the core or something.

I see some people's sig with modded I6000.

Will this mod indeed work for the I6000? I'll try for 1.6 725 @ 2.13
Fangui says max supported is 1800mhz proc. ANy ideas \?

I just took it apart and I tightened the heatsink pretty tight. I still have the same problem. My 1.5 -> 2.0GHZ was unsuccessful. I did everything correctly, yet it still does not work. In the bios is shows up as 2ghz, but it will not boot up into windows. I tried to put in the dell recovery disk and the system would lock up due to the processor locking up. It was not hot at all this time, I felt it soon after I turned it off. I am going to return this processor to the ebay seller that I got it from, after I try the swap with the dothan in my other notebook. :-(

Man...I think I just fried the sucker...I put my old 1.6GHZ back into it and I cleaned off the heatsink and cpu, I went into windows and then it shut off... I tried to turn it back on and the display wasn't working. Moments later, the display was working and windows was about to boot back up, then it shut off. Now the display won't work and the caps lock light won't even turn on. When I press the power button, it boots up...the fans turn on, I hear it working, but my display isn't working. I'm so pissed off...I was already pissed off because my pin mod didn't work...now on top of it...the system won't work at all...

check to make sure that your LCD ribbon cable is securely plugged in


and also YOU SHOULD NOT HAVE ANY THERMAL PAD LEFT WHATSOEVER ON YOUR CPU OR THE HEATSYNC... scrape the crap off as your processor is not getting an even contact with the sync...


your fans should automatically turn off after a few seconds after the bios is able to query the processor's thermal probe otherwise you probbably have an overheating problem...

when you put the old chip back in.. did you pull the wire out?

I completely stripped off the thermal pad and I made sure that everything was flawless. I got it to work after I did the system reset that Dell tells you to do. http://www.dell.com/fixit Man I was relieved. I found out the problem is in the 1.5GHZ processor that I ordered because I put it into my other laptop, and it would not boot up. I am going to return it ASAP to the seller.

Before I forget.. does it matter what kind of material the piece of wire is made of? Will a copper lead work?
