Old Compal JHT00

Hello, i have this old laptop Compal JHT00, trying to boost it up alittle

some specs:

Based on Intel® PM45 + ICH9-M
• Support Intel® Penryn 45nm Socket P Mobile Processor
• NVIDIA® 9300M-GS 256MB GDDR2 VRAM Video

my cpu is c2d p8400 @ 2.26ghz stock and im looking to get extra 4-6 hundred mhz to get from it
i know the compal model has a terrible heating so i drilled a hole on it and put an extra heating on it
my PLL is ICS9LPRS387BKLF
i have found few members here with the same code here put not with the same cpu
and i dont quite know how to use setFSB
any help greatly appreciated

GPU successfully ocd with Nvidia tools 650/600/1600

can i follow dufus step by step guide? have the same pll ithink but not the cpu

 

The fastest socket-compatible processor is the 3.06 Ghz T9900, but this may cause a problem if the cooling in your system is poor. The T9900 can generate up to 35 watts of heat, which is significantly higher than the 25 watts of heat your current processor creates. You could step down to the 2.8 Ghz T9700, which generates 28 watts of heat. This is still higher than your current processor, but it's less of a jump. The fastest processor that generates the same amount of heat as the one you currently own is the 2.66 Ghz P8800.

 

i might go and even upgrade this old worker if i can get t9900 for a few bucks but for now i was thinking more to oc the p8400 if possible

 

Oh, so you want to overclock your current CPU by 400-600 Mhz? I'm not sure if that's doable with your system. According to Intel's documentation on the PM45 chipset, it doesn't support any higher than 1066 Mhz memory & FSB speed. As your processor is already at that speed, I don't see the possibility of overclocking unless you have an extreme-series processor with unlocked multipliers.

 

pin mod? bsel mod? try to contact setFSB creator maybe he can do magic with ICS9LPRS387BKLF? newer version has that clock generator in it only need 800 japanes jen thats like few bucks but will it work then?

 

Is your GPU MXM based? See if you can upgrade it somehow.

Also, try adding an SSD, that will give you a visible improvement in snappiness.

 

Pin mods only work when used with processors that are pin-compatible with the chipset but run at a lower front side bus speed. As your processor runs at the maximum bus speed the chipset allows, this will not work in your case. You can upgrade your system by swapping in a faster processor, but I really doubt you can overclock your current CPU.

 

Upping the FSB as noted is what you'll have to do to make that processor run at a higher frequency. And considering this is a notebook, the only way to do that is via software (questionable reliability).

I'm guessing you're interested in a CPU upgrade because some of your applications are CPU-limited (e.g. 100% usage for extended periods). See what a T9400 or T9500 go for, better yet a P9600. And consider selling your P8400 to make up the price difference.

 

thanks, it has been much help
it should be mxm its not intregated on mobo so i can upgrade gfx also?
the ssd is a great idea ive heard many things about them possible to run os on ssd and make it run faster?
i see p9600 has a bigger l2 cache how much does it count on perfomance how much does it add?

 

The 3MB vs. 6MB cache on the Core 2 Duo does almost nothing for performance, don't pay extra.

P8700 and P8800 are other CPU's to look at.

 

Removable does not necessarily mean upgradeable for mobile graphics cards. To check if it's MXM-compatible, you can compare it with the specifications found here: MXM Graphics Module

Like Charles said, the processor cache differences don't mean much to anyone except the engineers at Intel.

I'd still recommend either a T9700 or P8800 for a CPU upgrade.
