    Most likely is as there are no other 48mhz pins in the datasheet. Seeing as there are no programmable bytes or a TME pin, this pinmod is finished.

    Could try a 100ohm or 1k attached off the pin4 resistor leg. The idea being to pull the signal to < 0.3V (logic 0) on bootup via a pulldown resistor to set 200Mhz. Then you'd be hoping the USB 48Mhz output signals are unaffected.

    Suggest you compensate for this faster clock with more CPU voltage via a BSEL or voltage regulator mod + slower RAM timings. Without these you might get an initial bios screen but BSOD during bootup.

    I'll try that. It'll be pretty tough to fit the mod as the PLL is on the bottom side of the motherboard and there really isn't space to move wires/resistor onto the other side. The screwholes are pretty much the only openings between both sides.

    I doubt I need more voltage. This is just a T2400. What could go wrong at 2.2Ghz. It'll be a while before it's ready for flashing SPDs as this is a salvaged mini, with no hard drive, missing screws and an erratic SuperDrive. Macs can't BSOD. Instead, they give a completely useless message asking you to restart in many different languages but none describing the problem. :D

    Can you use setPLL with Asus G51VX - RX05?

    If setfsb works with the asus G51, then setpll can be made to work.

    Modded my Extensa 5620Z by grounding pin 4.
    Just a word of caution, the picture by masterjumong2012 is not accurate. Its supposed to be the first resistor, not the second resistor (as indicated by the pic)

    The original 0402 resistor was 22 ohms. so it would be ideal to use a 22ohm resistor for a pull down.

    Meanwhile, the results. [i've swapped the original t2370 with a t9500, the fastest santa rosa mobile processor the bios supports]

    In fact, there's still headroom to go but the default cooling just isn't up to scratch. My extensa 5620z restarts automatically when it hits 82 degrees or so

    Hi guys, just a simple question:

    I have a ICS9LPRS525AGLF PLL that for some reason it is not supported by setFSB. After reading I found that my PLL is not TME locked (bit 6 of byte 9 is set to 0 - normal operation) I tried changing the bit 6 of byte 0 from 1 (200mhz) to 0 (266mhz), but nothing happened, neither setFSB nor RW could update the byte properly, after opening the program again it still shows the bit set to 1. And none of the programs gives me an error or anything. What I am doing wrong?

    Thanks in advance.

    byte 0 bit 6 reads the FSx pin logic and are read-only. That would read 266Mhz if you do the FSLx pinmod on your system.

    To software program your PLL requires writing say 0x3D to 0xC to show the other configuration bytes then configure the PLL for software programming. Unfortunately the PLL datasheet tells you nothing for bytes 12-28 which is where the bytes for programming are, but it looks very similar to the ics9lprs387/397.

    So the fastest solution would be to try using setPLL which has definitions for ics9lprs387/397 (see sig) and take it from there.

    Hey thanks! Yes, since I couldn't find 9LPRS398/399, I selected 397 in SetFSB and it seems to work fine, it is the only PLL configuration in SetFSP that doesn't give me the "PLL byte error", and it displays the freq properly. Too bad it is only in shareware version.

    Yes I saw there's a 9LPRS397 config file for setPLL. I might go from there like you said :)

    Thanks again.

    Well, after trying setPLL ics9lprs397dklf 266 (minimun value in the config file), my machine freezes.

    It seems that RW/setPLL couldn't write to PLL, but the LOG file shows the complete opposite (I think)

    Any thoughts?

    Probably 200->266 is too much of a jump. Here's the 200-265Mhz entries you can add to the ics9lprs397.LUT file. Try 205 first. If you confirm a successful PLL reprogramming with that then can work your way up to the point of instability.

    Thanks for your help, I tried 201mhz and the system hanged again.

    It seems like I'm trying to reprogram the wrong control bits.

    So, if I cant find the right control bits, I'm stuck

    [BCLK]
    200, 10, 54, 01

    By the way, what does the last 3 hex/bytes mean? I mean, I know they're the control bits, but I still don't understand where those value should be placed in the control registers. My current control register should have those values (10, 54, 01) right? but where?

    edit: From what I'm reading in the setPLL.rw file, the control bits changed are 0C, 0D, 0E.. (correct me if i'm wrong)

    what setPLL is going to set for 201 (50, 54, 01):

    Local0=0x17 AA FF EF FC DC 80 31
    Local1=0x58 27 75 05 16 50 54 EF

    what setFSB reads in my current control reg.:

    Local0=0x41 83 FF FF FC 00 00 01
    Local1=0x00 25 83 17 16 C8 37 FF
    Local2=0x2F D0 6F 0F 30 38

    shouldn't only the bytes 12-28 be changed? I'm a little bit confused.

    Shown below are steps i..iv, the minimal changes required to program a ics9lprs387/397 PLL. Perform a Set FSB after each. After i. do a Get FSB to populate the extra fields. You can see incrementing register 0x0E then results in a ~2Mhz FSB overclock.

    [​IMG]

    If that doesn't work then check the datasheet and/or consider 'donating' US$10 to Abo, setfsb's author, to get your PLL supported.

    Can I do this operation with setPLL? Since I (still) don't have the full version of setFSB, I can't use the button setFSB

    You could do the same changes using r-w everything. Though it's easier to use the freeware version of setfsb. Select ICS9LPRS365, then go to the Diagnosis window and change the values.

    Well it didn't work, after I do a setFSB/Write (r-w) with the new values it resets again to their old values, this time windows doesn't hang tho.

    I think I've tried everything for this PLL, this might be the time to get a new mobo

    Thanks for your help nando. :)

    Back again,
    To bring up my last question.... how exactly do I do a FSLx PLL mod on my SLG8SP553V chip? so its pins 20, 2, and 7 for the FS_A/B/C respectively on my PLL chip... but then what do I do with those now that I know that? I am shooting for getting a 300mhz FSB (up from the 266mhz it is), but I might try getting 333mhz working ( but I don't know how to do either hardware mod)

    I read through the FSLx thread about the MX R1, but I am still totally lost on what I am connecting/disconnecting to/from what... I would really appreciate it if someone could just tell me that

    This is a picassa album explaining how to do a 200-->266 oc. which means changing the fslb from H to L. it is for SLG8SP556V but they look alike a lot. If you can find your datasheet is safer to go on.
    In your case you have to turn fsla flsb fslc from L to H. That way you are going to have H-H-H instead of L-L-L and overclock from 266-->300. I would suggest that if it is possible (no soldered cpu) you underclock with a pinmod from 200-->166 (L-H-H) and you only have to hardmod fsla from L to H. In that way if you have a succesfull oc at 300 you can remove the pinmod underclock and go further at 333MHz.
    If you need further help ask. Be careful a small mistake can cost you, from no overclocking, to motherboard replacement :eek: .

    Hey fellas,
    Just posting a new message, Im not new to overclocking but I am new to FSB overclocking, Ive rescued a acer 4310 laptop from the bin and have been doing it up as a project and I want to see if I can get an overclock out of it. It has the 943gml chipset can support a max of 2 gb and has socket m. running a celeron m 520 atm but have a c2d t7200 on order which should be compatible.

    I pulled it apart and checked my pll (rtm865t-433) and it is in setfsb and as far as I can figure based on the first post it is not tme locked.

    While Im right at home overclocking on my rampage extreme Im not real sure what to expect from my current laptop setup.

    I tried to install 2x1gb 800mhz sticks into the 533mhz motherboard thinking they would downclock and give some overclocking ability but I dont think the bios/motherboard is compatible with CAS 6, however I can run one stick at a time as long as I run it with one of the 512mb cas 5 modules that I have.

    really this isnt a matter of if I should be doing it, Im just trying to figure out how to do it, Im an IT student just screwin around.

    I also have some 667mhz samsung modules coming so I can run them. was hoping to get the 800mhz modules flashed with spdtool but they are hynix and as far as I can see they seem to be write protected (does this sound right or should I try to get around it).

    What is a realistic overclock in setFSB, (maybe you guys already have some decent info on a page I havent seen yet that you could link me to.) I just gave it a go and tried to change it from 133 to 166 and the screen just went white straight away... maybe its not going to happen but I read the celerons overclock really good but I guess it could have to do with the ram. Anyway not too sure just looking for educated opinions.

    Thanks for any help running 64 bit win 7 at the moment but thinking of going back to 32 bit because Im running under 2gb at present and shouldnt be able to run more than 2gb... Should I keep playin around or is it never going to work??

    **got an overclock out of it but not much might be better once I get new ram**

    Just disconnect the right leg of the resistor it leads to and connect this to gnd.
    I think it will work this way.
    You better not touch the pll legs or the line. I destroyed a motherboard this way.

    Currently trying to overclock my Area 51 m17x

    i found the ppl

    ICS9LPR362AGLF

    and i can succesfull overclock my T5550, 215x11 stock vcore no problems.

    but..... my wireless and lan die the second i touch the pll setting, even if i put it at 166mhz

    I guess the pci-e bus has no lock on it! Anything i can do about this? Would be a nice boost till i get a decent cpu!

    Got it working! if i use a different ppl first to read the clockspeeds and then the ICS9LPR362AGLF my wireless keeps working! Wired still stops works but that's not a real problem since my wireless is pretty stable. I'll post the pll which i use first when i get home.

    Currently at 205x11, seems 215x11 wasn't stable in the end. Primed 1.5h at this speed.

    I probably need more Vcore, currently at 1.25v and can't seem to raise it with throttestop, is there any other way or will i have to pinmod to get some more?

    I tried "setpll -read" on my ThinkPad Z61t (Intel 945GM/E Rev 03 chipset). It reports:
    SMBus Read: Mode=BLOCK, Address=0xD2, Start=0x00, End=0xFF
    SMBus error

    Does it mean it cannot identify the PLL?

    Thanks!

    Update!

    Seems it's not using another ppl first but going in standby - powerup and then using the ICS9LPR362AGLF to set the overclock.

    That's with a T5550

    Friend gave me a T7500 and i tried it, the ICS9LPR362AGLF doesn't work anymore.

    Have to use the 9LPR363DGLF. Standby does not fix the network problem, network dies regardless of what i do. And it doesn't seem very stable - Sudden performance drops while benchmarking etc at anything over 200 fsb! No idea why it's this different with a 166 <> 200mhz fsb but fsb overclocking is totally worthless like this.

    I have an Fujitsu 3560 with PLL ICS9LPRS365BKL, which I already modded: Index of /~vlad.ichimescu/amilo3560

    target: test maximum speed using software and after that I'll implement to hardware [the GT 240M overclocks no problem to 665/932/1463 and can go higher]. I bet the northbridge can take 266fsb, so can the memory

    problem: doesn't matter if I move the slider any way, less or more, once I press "Set Fsb" I get black screen, however the laptop is still working [black screen but still light are iluminating, hdd working, coolind ok, leds ok but freezes]

    @uindauz try using setPLL instead of setFSB, link is on the first page of this thread.

    I have an HP TX2z PLL 9LPRS476EKLF. Is it possible to adjust the fsb in small incrememnts (or at all)?

    Have you read the first page? Specifically how to check the PLL's TME_readback flag, TME-unlocking the PLL if it's locked (HP tend to do that) and then setting up and using setPLL to program the PLL?

    The shareware setfsb supports the ICS9LPRS476HKLF so it might do the trick out of the box for you.

    That's awesome. But I have the shareware version of setfsb and I didn't see that PLL in it list. Do I have to pay for the program?

    I found it, but it gives a PLL id error.

    PLL register 07=76h=1110110b. Evaluating the vendorID codes below we see you have a Silego PLL. So try the SLG* PLLs in setfsb and hope one works. If you can look at the systemboard then would know for sure what PLL it uses.

    I replaced the motherboard and got the PLL id from the old board. I don't suppose what appear to be identical boards could have different PLLs could they?

    I tried the SLG PLLs and found that one of them gave me the proper numbers and no error.

    Yes. Manufacturers will use different PLLs on them. Alienware M11xR1 users can have either a SLG or ICS PLL, DV4-2xxx can have an ICS or Realtek PLL. A 2730P user found they had a Silego so couldn't do a TME-unlock PLL pinmod that another 2730P user applied to their ICS PLL.

    A shame you had to swap systemboards. The ICS PLL you had is preferred for most options when it comes to overclocking. I hope one of the SLG* entries in setfsb works for you.

    EDIT: too fast. I can see you know have ID-ed a SLG* PLL in your system.

    Will SetPLL work with the PLL on my board? And is it possible that the PLL on my board is othe than what SetFsb is showing that it is?

    What is the best route to increasing the fsb?

    after doing some 24hours manual click-click fsb, I figured out why 365BKL is not working and how to make it work.
    I'll contact abo again but until he updates his GREAT tool, you can test manual like here; you have everything you need to TME-unlock, pics and video: [the resistor is taken from a broken phone because I wanted the moding to be small and elegant]
    done on Fujitsu Amilo Pi 3560 -233Mhz is piece of cake, however my target is 266Mhz because after testing everything and for at least 1 week, I want to implement this mod direct in PLL as hardware -my ram needs to be flash with even higher latency [! it's already 6-6-6-18-24 but at ~249Mhz is causing BSOD]
    Can some expert help with some advice with flashing the ram? SPDTool or Thaiphoon Burner ? Windows 7Ultimate SP1 x64 - want to force the RAM 800Mhz to run at 667Mh BUT the dimms have write protection enabled

    The T61 details are theoretic based on schematic and PLL datasheets. If you open up your T61 and take close up photos of the PLL and tracks leading off the TME and FS_B pins then we'll be able to look at how to do a TME-unlock and/or FSLx pinmod.

    Please read this and this. Would be a good idea to create a new .lut file for your Acer Extensa 4630G following the guide in the documentation..

    Try the US$10 setFSB instead. It allows the ics9lprs387bklf main FSB clock to be altered but not the PCIe speed.
