How to pinmod and further overclock the M11x R1 (SLG= Hardmod only)

noooo 4400 would be when the gpu downclocks itself, due to a heat or unstable clocks. the R1 with the cpu at 1.6ghz and stock gpu clocks will do over 6k

 

Ah, assuming a heat issue in this case. Still refining some settings =p
It was the first run of 3dmark with the new memory. Had me worried :/ From the two pics that I posted, everything looks good to me. With my minimal knowledge that is.

 

Probably just a driver crash. just find a stable GPU clock and you should be good.

 

@tscaf
your ram supports XMP profiles but m11x R1 system does not support XMP profiles.......

try this.... overvolting GT335M to add 0.5V to the GPU

Jai554,
Actually, shortly after my initial question about the ram, I did do just that, the .95v mod. Everything appears to be working great. I haven't pushed it to the "limits" as of yet. After the mod I pulled a 7920 out of 3dmark.

XMP - Having the machine not support XMP simply means I can't use that particular extra feature that the ram has? I doesn't mean I'm handicapped because of it, from my understanding. Is that correct?

 

Did you overclock more after the mod?

Don't worry about XMP here, they're just performance timings which the R1 (and maybe R2) can't support.

 

I did bump the GPU OC up some. The score I just recently achieved of 7920 I got using 580/1400/880. I've only done 2 runs with 3dmark at those settings and have yet to actually play any heavy hitting games to see if it's stable.

 

ok guys.. got my new motherboard. sadly... its an slg =( BUT, i already did the 1.73ghz mod and the gpu is even more overclockable then the firsrt motherboard =D

 

ajslay, at least you've got a working machine again. Did dell just send the mobo to ya and let you install it?

Foolishly, I still hold out a little hope for slg tme unlock and software overclock. I'm sure I had that pin soldered. But I never cut it. Since you've got the pin cutting thing down, next time you are in your lappy, see if you feel like cutting pin 14. I wont have mine apart for a while now. Not sure I have the nerve to try the 2.0 mod seeing as a couple have bricked as a result. But some guy and others shows us what's possible if I get up the nerve to try

 

2.0ghz FTW!

With the summer heat im noticing some raise in temps. ill be doing some cooling mods here soon...

Pics to follow.

 

Any preference for what wattage the 10k resistor should be?

 

CONGRATS Some Guy!!!!! I hope I can get to 2.0 with my Samsung RAM and hardmod . We shall see soon... MUAHAHAHAAAAA!

 

Thanks man.

Couldnt have done it with out DavyGT and nando4!

Im using a 1/4 watt resistor

 

I will follow the guy with the 2.0 Ghz overclock - 1/4 watt it is!! .

 

if you do the math, 1/4W is more than enough.

P=I*V=(I^2)*R=(V^2)/R

R=10000
V=3.3V or 5V
I is VERY low

 

Curiosity sake. How many of you are running overclocking full time? Or do most of you only do it when needed, i.e. a game?
Do most of you only run a CPU OC full time and not a GPU OC?
Obviously the long term affect of running a overclock is ideally shortened life span.

Just curious.
Thanks!

 

true, dell had a tech come and replace it. but i would have done it myself but they said i couldnt because it was the only part that a tech had to replace on his own.. but sure id try the tme mod. pin cutting is extremely easy for me now. i did the 1.73ghz mod in less then 5 minutes and had my machine up and running again in 10 minutes tops all together. once i find an ICS motherboard, il buy that, then do the TME unlock for that, then mess around with the TME unlock for the slg so i have a backup.

 

im on a SLG PLL so i am OCed all the time. technically i have a "switch" hooked up to change it if i want but there is really no point.

Seeing a failure on stock voltage during a chips life cycle would be very rare. even with a small bump in voltage we are still talking about it lasting more than 10yrs with 24/7 use.

I hear ppl talk about this all the time... but try to find some one that actually had a CPU "burn out" on them with close to stock voltage. you will be hard pressed to find someone.

 

Actually, that reminds me. Where as you are manually switched on. I have to step mine up. I've noticed that when I close the lid on my machine, and it goes to sleep, it steps it back to the 1.7 factory OC. Is there anyway of preventing it from automatically doing that? I would prefer to keep it at the 2.1 =p

 

Cant help you there. i havent messed with any ICS PLLs. thats one reason i prefer the hard mod.

Set it and forget it.

 

same here, but the TME mod is a whole lot easier lol.
i have no idea why the 2ghz mod didnt work for me tho.. im clueless. i had everything the way it should have been and it just didnt work.. i dont know what i did wrong.
i did use a 1/2 watt resister tho.

 

wattage wont matter, just the ohms

 

how many ohms should it have?

 

everyone is having success with 10k

higher wattage just means that the resistor can take more current and volts before burning up, the resistance is whatever it is rated at

 

i think i might have gotten the wrong resistors then. damn.

 

if you have any old circuit boards laying around, you can rip a surface mount resistor off of that...


it is small, black and has 103 printed on the top...

 

thanks, il be looking around to see what i can find =P

 

you can see a size reference in the pic I posted a page or 2 back....

 

yeah i noticed the resisters i used were a bit big compared to the ones other people used.
i have the 1.73ghz mod done on my new board but im kindof worried about the same thing happening again with this one too if i try the 2ghz mod.

 

Has anyone had the issue, or noticed when closing the lid and the machine goes into sleep mode, it takes it back down to the factory OC of 1.7?

I use the Setpll to step it up to 2.1GHz. Anyone help on how to keep the machine at 2.1 after waking from sleep, would be appreciated Thanks!

 

@tscaf
i think its almost impossible....
if you really want to keep your laptop at 2.1GHz..... do hardmod project......

 

so...

what memory do I need to break 2ghz?

would hyperx 1333 cl7 do the trick?
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820104158



are there any 8gb kits that will? please link to ebay as I have a 10% off code...

 

i HATE that RAM... read my reviews of it. (im reviewer "some guy") DUH?

This RAM is working well for me:

Newegg.com - G.SKILL 4GB 204-Pin DDR3 SO-DIMM DDR3 1066 (PC3 8500) Laptop Memory Model F3-8500CL7S-4GBSQ

 

@SomeGuy
yeah.... its true!!

@whitrzac
dont buy those hyperx ram.....
those G.Skill ram overclock better and have higher stability.....

 

That specific HyperX ram is made cheaply now, you had to get the good stuff when it first came out over a year ago. I have one of those good kits and it can do 1333 Cas6

I am never selling that kit lol

 

is that ram overclock well?

 

Hey guys, I'm getting Whitrzac's M11x with the ICS pinmod, anyone know what is the best 8GB RAM kit to OC with, or if Thiapoon Burner will help OC?

 

I linked my RAM a few posts ago

 

yeah, I'm more interested in Thiapoon burner since I wouldn't have to buy more ram.

 

sorry, my posts must be on the other page/other thread...


I used typhoon burner to flash it to a cas6/7 but it still won't clock any higher, that was with the integrated GPU on, so IDK if it is overclocking that too...

 

Overclocking the PLL does overclock the 4500MHD IGP as well. Use setIGP, included with setPLL, to slow the core render clock. Your OC wall could have been due to the IGP.

 

I'll do that when I get the laptop some time this week.

 

good to hear that.... hope that you got an ICS pll......

 

its my m11x that does have an ICS...

 

Yep, ICS, I'll try SetIGP when I get it, it whirzac hasn't already.

 

Do I have to solder or pinmod in order to do the 1.73 mod I have
R1 slg..
sorry couldnt find how to do it...

 

for the 1.73ghz mod:

requires cutting pin 2 on the PLL

 

thanks ajslay.
two more things
1.is it the FS_B pin?
2. How did you cut it?

 

i used a needle
and its the FS_B/TEST MODE pin. the one next to the white triangle.

 

@kevmanw4301
cut pin 14 or ground the pin via 10k 1/4watt resistor if you have ICS pll
