Thread Starter 
just letting ya guys know i did the cpu mod with the 745 cpu and it works great i must stress though that lapping and applying articsilver5 to the heat sinks are a must im getting 34C idle and a max of 60C at 100% i havent seen the processor go above 63C after 3hrs of testing with CHC

i wanna run prime to see how that works but i feel thats gonna be fine as this is stable as a rock

o yeah and them temps are with the fans on low the whole time if i increased it with fangui to high then it would hover aroun 57 at 100%

in normal processing though like watching movies and stuff it never reaches more then 50 with fans on low

just thought id let you guys know

I got my 1.7 to 2.26 running between 32C and 42 C. The Silver 5 is wonderful!

Was this the 1.8 that came with the Dell? Or did you have to buy a seperate processor? What did you use for the jumper? Sorry for the newb questions, but I would like to know.

new update just ran the system over night (10hrs) using CPU Stability Test 6 which is imho more stressfull then prime95 sense it not only does prime but 5 other real world test at the same time not only that i was DL all night with limewire as well temps never went over 64C on low fan level all night : )

You can try running cpu-z from cpuid.org, and check the stepping (something like 6 or 8) and revision (something like B1 or C0).

My 700M 745 1.8 reads stepping 6 revision B1. I wonder if it would work. Did you have to tweak the voltage??
