Pentium 725 vs. 730 - 133FSB difference

That is correct, it will mean very small on most laptop...

But if used on an Asus Z71V, that is a lot. If you use a 400FSB Dothan in it, you could easily overclock it by setting 533FSB and having it run sweet..

For example: 1.6 400FSB Dothan, stick that in the Asus Z71V it will run at 2.13 533FSB Dothan eheheh

they sent you the wrong processor?

Don't mind me, just subscribing to this thread. I like your idea smilepak.

Here is a result...

Dude!!! HUGE SUCCESS!!!

Order Intel Pentium M 1.7 -- 400FSB off ebay for $160.00

Received it today, install it with AS5

Boot up, BIOS will show 1.7...

Once into windows, calculated out to 2.26GHz!!!!!!!

Currently running at full speed w/o undervoltage. Average temp on casual usage according to Mobile Meter...58c!!!!

Dude! This is sweet.

Did a SandraSoft Speed Test....

Wow! Is that the PM 735??? It's $249 at newegg!!

smilepak how stable is that, it seems very detramental to the laptop.

It's not at all. Search for "dipswitch"- it will only generate a little bit more heat.

i run a 745 @ 2.4ghz with no problems at all.. so ya.. it is almost a sure thing for a 2.26 and definetly problem-less for a 1.6@2.13

I have a toshiba tecra with a Dothan 1.7 in it..what do you think this thing will OC to..

is the change from a 400 to 533 only doable on the z71v? or any notebook w/ a dothan core

i wonder if asus will let you do it on the z70v refresh

the z70v does not have the dipswitch
so i am 99% sure you can't do it on the z70v-refresh either

well the what is the difference between a regular 2.1 (highest so far) and this oc. Is that just the highest u can oc? because if thats all then what a way to save money.

ohhh and for the z71v what is the model # of the cpu like a 735 or somethin?

run everything at the higher fsb, drop your multiplier and you can drop power conspumption as well

the benefit of running higher fsb is that OTHER components go faster as well and your cpu is not strained as much

i don't really know the difference
i think it is the same, everything about the processor is the same

You could do it with most notebook. However, you could do it fairly easy with Z71v.

On the Z71V there is a dipswitch next to the CPU. All you have to do is flip the switch up or down for 400FSB or 533FSB.

With other notebook you have to pull out some copper wire and manually do a pin modding by connecting certain pins together using copper wire. This is a little more difficult and tricky to do.

Z71V is the only laptop I know of that uses the dipswitch. Which making it the overclocking laptop dream machine!
