How do I find the clock generator on m15x alienware laptop?

Hello my computer is an alienware area 51 m15x and i am trying to figure out the clock generator number on the chipset in the mother board of the laptop. If anyone of u have the same specs as me and have open up your alienware laptop or if have not please do and tell me the number u see on the chipset because i am inexperienced at opening laptops and i just bought my laptop and i do not want to break it. i need the chipset number to overclock my laptop. dont worry i have excelent cooling fans.
these are my specs if u have the same specs and chipset please check to c the chipset number(which is the clock generator by the way) and please tell me what it is.

Intel(R) Core(TM)2 DUO CPU T9300 @ 2.5GHz
2GB ram ddr2
32 bit vista operating system
chipset GM965

thanks in advance.

 

i highly doubt others are going to just open up thier unit to satisfy your stand alone request.
there may be some that will that have chaged to CPU or have done other things to thwart the warranty, but i have reservations about others.
all you have to do is unscrew the bottom plate and there you go....if you desire to OC, then learn how to remove the bottom plate...

 

and yet...

something doesn't quite work out there. not sure exactly what, but something definitely doesn't work out.

 

i was thinking the same...you just took more time to quote....

 

I wouldn't waste your time in OC ing with that cpu.

 

For warranty purposes, we will recommend not to overclock your system as this will void it if any damage is done during and after the process.

Thank you.

 

why not o and this is not to satisfy my own needs im making a chipset with a couple of my buddies to help out other people with the same problem about not being able to oc their computers because there bios are locked and they cant use setfsb. we are making a setfsb clock generator to help other people out and as u can see it is not to just satisfy my own needs just to clear things up. i have an oced desktop alreadyjust want to help some requesters out.

 

how would i be able to do this without breaking it, if u cold point me to a tutorial maybe i could open it myself instead of asking other people. Link wouuld be greatly appreciated ryujin

 

not wanting to criticize you, but you, umm, want to "help some requesters out" by, you know, asking us to help you out?

 

As well as speak more clearly please. lol

 

thanks anyway guys ill just post up another question in the forum asking how i can dissaseble my lapotp to find the info thanks for ur help tho

 

seems self explanitory to me...or you could go to the AW support site and look it up.
if your so inclined to OC a unit, you would or should know more about how to get inside...
you said you had a desktop that you OC'ed....do you know how to get in that one?

 

well, seeing how many have failed at this, it can't be that easy. the bottom plate doesn't cover the entire mobo, so theoretically, the PLL chip could be somewhere unaccessible - knowing AW and their, umm, "distaste" for OCing the m15x, that's pretty probable.

beyond that, even if the chip is accessible, you first have to find the chip - motherboards tend to have a lot of them all over the place

 

Assuming you can click links without further assistance from the generous crowd here at NBR, you may want to have a look here:

Sorry for the sardonic tone, but you may want to really read our responses carefully for answers before dismissing your whole thread.

 

I have an alienware m15x laptop computer and i would like to know on which side of the motherboard is the ic chip with the clock generator # on it.
A. the keyboard side
B. the bottom side.

And if it is a is their like a guide that tells me how to dissasemble that part of the laptop. Links would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance.

 

Why don't you go ahead and disassemble the whole think and then come back and tell us... I don't think we can overclock the CPU can we?

 

I'm pretty sure AW's got that locked. Even if you knew the clock generator, I don't think you could set new clocks.

 

you can my m17 you can OC with the AW bios

although it orginally was a OCZ Whitebook
the asus's was under the GPU heat sink

 

yoyoyo man, just turn that laptop into parts and do it yourself. i am sure after many days and many parts you will find it, when you put it back together dont have any extra screws around.

 

well i just want to have a look see at the motherboard of my laptop and my warranty is already done. So any help would be appreciated thanks.

 

first, remove the service cover from the bottom of the laptop. then, remove the rubber feet, and unscrew the screws under those. remove all other external screws. then, gently start pulling your lappy apart. on a side note, watch out for the alien staring at you from atop the optical drive cage.

 

What exactly are you wanting to fix or take out?

 

i want to see the ic unit and look at the clock generaotr #

 

on the bottom just remove all the screw its pretty much it (no sarcasim here)

 

Is anybody who has this same ic chip know the clock generator # for it. And is anybody willing to open their computers to answer my question. Iknow this sounds very farfetched and nobody might be willing to do this but if u can thank you.
And if u think i am asking to much please do not post anything bad i just really need this information
my motherboard/pc is an alienware m15x

 

I'll just mention that the clock generator is also specific to your computer's motherboard, so you might want to mention the model of your laptop as well.

 

its a m15x and this is his 4 thread about it

 

im sorry about the posts i ust want to have a lot of information about it before doing anything serious to my laptop

try that

 

Your four threads have been merged...keep related questions in only one thread.

 

thank you Kdawgca

 

i highly doubt anyone will open a unit (m15x) to satisfy your query. you said your unit is out of warranty, so why dont you go ahead and do it yourself.
why should we break our warranty and possibly an investment for your satisfaction?

its not that your not asking a question...its the fact your asking others to do your dirty work. no go.

 

Should we be expecting a fifth thread with the admission, "So I don't really have an m15x, but..."

 

lol....i was half expecting that

 

What are the odds that his "friends" don't have one either?

 

he never said they did.

 

if he does open it up just put on here some super close up pics should get it done quick that way

 

ok ivee finally opened up my m15x but i can not find the gm965 chipset or the clock generator # here is a pick could u guys tell me were on this pick is the clock generator #. here is the link to the pic
http://www.techspot.com/articles-info/106/images/Image_14.jpg
please tell me where the ic chip is. thanks

 

i've marked the CPU in red on the pic. the PLL should be somewhere there.

 

that is not your picture now just stop posting i was being nice but this is to far. Your just insulting every one

 

what if he doesn't have a camera?

 

rightttttt lol

 

thanks guys and that pic is not mine by the way its from the internet but it looks exactly the same as it is in my laptop. Thanks for ur help whizzo u were always the one answering my questions fully and in detail.

 

no problem. keep us updated how the search goes.

 

good luck just next time dont make 5 threads

 

LOL @ thread move

on a side note, didn't we have a guy here a few months ago who totally took apart his m15x?

 

i dont remember it but i haven't been here long

 

Whether or not he has a camera, or whatever the case may be. I almost peed my pants laughing when I saw that the "pic of the inside of my case" was a techspot review photo.

 

ok i looked where u said whizz and i looked under the coil that attatches to the fan and i found 2 #

which one is the pll clock generator #

 

If you are trying to find the PLL or clock generator for the m15x to run the SETFSB program, it has been discussed many time before like this one:

If you are looking for it for other purposes then good luck !!! I hope this helps. God Bless
