P7805u, new cpu

Hello all!
I've got a P7805u, and I've got a t9600 on order (should arrive in a couple days), and I have a few quick questions:

-When I install the new cpu, will my lappy simply recognize it (i know it's compatible), or do I have to track down some kind of driver?

-I know that it's pretty impossible to overclock without doing a pin mod, but after installing the new cpu will the TME still be active, as it was with the stock CPU? I'd like to know that I can boost my new CPU, should I need to. I realize there's a 3Ghz cap, an dthe T96 is already 2.8, but it's a pride thing.

Thanks in advance for your help!

 

It should PnP for you.......... Not sure about the T9600 and TME......

 

Depending on the risks, I'd like to try to overclock the CPU I have in right now. I'm not too concerned with cooking it if I have a new one on the way.

I know there's a chance I'd cook my motherboard, but I'm fairly confident in my soldering skills. I've been pouring over threads on the pin mod (most of them off this board), except it seems that the intrest pretty much died out last year. I know there's a few people on this board that have managed to pull it off, but the lack of pictures horrifies me.

The best two threads were

and
http://forum.notebookreview.com/har...pll-pinmod-overclocking-methods-examples.html

The problem is that they constantly reference eachother...

Edit: If someone can produce a picture/point me to the pin, I'd be spuer greatful. As far as I can tell, if I put in a resistor, I'll be able to overclock the new cpu through setfsb...?

 

Just be carefull, these boards are not the best for handling power or CPU heat..........

 

you should have just opted to get a X9100 instead unless you got yourself a sweet deal on the P9600.

saves you the hassle of having to mess around with soldering and pin modding etc.

 

Been running a T9600 almost since the day I bought my 7801 (same as a 7805). Runs fine, heat is not an issue... just use a good thermal paste and be careful not to damage the thermal pad on the chipset cause you will need to reuse it (unless you are going to use ICD7 which is really thick and can 'fill the gap')

1. after installing the CPU, you will need to boot Windows and go in the device manager. Under processors it will still show the original. Delete both of them (the 2 cores), and reboot. Windows will then pick up the new cpu cores.

2. No... unfortunately, you can not overclock this cpu (or any other as far as I know)

You will definately notice the difference in speed between the T9600 and the stock P8400

Enjoy!

 

These are fine at stock but he wants to OC. Since the OC would involve SetFSB everything gets OC'd. So there is not only the added CPU draw btu ALL components will be competing for draw from the power board etc.

At stock these systems should have absolutely no issue even with the T9900. With the X9100 even at 3.2 GHz it is not an issue, start going above that and you can start to see the stress and this is without additional components drawing more power than stock draw and a 180w brick..................

 

Ok, My chip's here!!!

I'm ready to install it, but I'm terrified to do it. I've seen more than enough tutorials on ripping my lappy apart, but when it comes to switching out the processor, I'm worried. Do I just pull it out, lather up the thermal grease, and stick the new one in?

 

dont forget to turn out the locking screw ( a quarter turn IIRC) next to the CPU before trying to lift it out.
