    You'll find linked off the first page of this thread the 9LPRS355 datasheet and the setPLL link. The setpLL link has a .LUT file showing what the PLL registers look like when overclocking a 2510P which uses the same PLL but a base frequency of 133Mhz. Suggest review the datasheet against that LUT file and perform bitwise changes on your PLL using setfsb's diagnosis window until you've figured out what needs to be done to overclock it. When done, create a new .LUT file for use with setPLL for your system to automate the overclock.

    I guess that the link for the 9LPRS355 datasheet is not working.

    ICS9LPRS365BGLF is very similar so can use it's datasheet instead. Though you might not even need it. setPLL's 9LPRS355bklf.LUT file shows which PLL registers need to be altered to do the overclock so can start trying those using setfsb's diagnosis window. A bit of trial-and-error and she'll be good to go.

    by default is most of laptops locked for change of FSB(overclocking), so you have to improve your motherboard via some method, I recommend you to read first page of this thread :)

    so guys, I ve managed to TME unlock my (HP dv6-1419EO) Quanta (Montevinna PM45, DDR3) with SLG...513v by connecting pin 11 to GND with 10k resistor, so SETFSB(using older version) register 9 is showing 25hex.

    When I try to increase/decrease FSB laptop freezes. Does anyone know why ? I assume that the voltage shouldnt be an issue, when even underclocking doing the same. Should I turn-off C-States in BIOS ?or try to switch P8400 with T4200 ?

    Small changes are going to be fine on your system. Certainly shouldn't freeze. What's probably happening is setfsb sends some data to the PLL that doesn't work with your system.

    I'd suggest finding the PLL datasheet to work with and start poking values into the setfsb Diagnosis screen to figure out what needs to be altered. Then create a .lut file in setPLL to automate that so can overclock to any point you want. Either that or pay a $10 donation fee to the setfsb author so can work with you and tweak his setfsb PLL definition to work accurately with your PLL.

    First of all thanks for response, Problem is that SLG8SP513V only allowing large steps (100/133/166/200/266/333/400) but the system should remain stable while I change 266 to 200 :( so I assume that there is some problem, DATAsheet is listed on the first page, I am willing to pay 10$ If the author of SETFSB will be able to help me, but correct me if I am wrong my PLL is listed for a while and it should work, right ?

    It works differently on different notebooks.

    That pll could be made to change something like the source for the sata clock when you press setfsb. That may be fine for most notebooks, but some notebooks lock up when the change is made ( like one of my notebooks).

    So the plls in setfsb are not going to work for every notebook even of you find your pll on the list.

    Ah, that makes sense :) I have been digging this thread for a while and someone managed overclock acer here with same PLL using another SLG plls with small 0,3mhz steps, anyway While I try those plls, it works for few sec but after explorer goes really bad and cursor is freezing so my guess is messing up PCIE clocks, so I should contact SETFSB author because I am not feeling confident enough to make LUT file on my own, maybe with little help :)). Anyway thanks very much.

    BTW: Is it even possible when pll support only large jumps to force it for small ones ? is it only matter of software ?

    Not really, you can usually see the jumps possible in the datasheet for the PLL.

    Some PLLs do really only offer large jumps.

    Only way to be sure is to read the datasheet.

    url above is not accesible, server is down ->edit: now it's ok
    anyway, if your pll is ics9lprs387bklf, i have been trying together with abo (setfsb creator) without success, no possible to overclock over 172mhz, there must be a problem with sata or pcie bus
    in fact, overclock works when using xp without hdd (on the fly, from hiren's bootcd usbdrive), then after installing the hdd back to the laptop and booting, any overclock over 172mhz makes laptop hang

    URL is working for me :O but anyway I have slg8sp513v. My default clock is 266mhz. So I shouldnt have same issue as you do. I have send an email to Abo yesterday but he didnt answered yet, I hope he will answer me :) btw avoid OCing while PCIE/SATA clocks rises too, simply not worth it :D

    in my case, in order to go further than 172mhz, pcie bus must be raised to 105mhz, which makes laptop hang if hdd is installed

    Hello guys, me again :) I have managed to underclock 266>200 after setting clock, laptop rebooted but with lower FSB, I took screen of registers it seems that
    control register 14 is changed, datasheet is quite useless, it says reserved, only bit 7 is "Vendor Manufacturing/Production Test Mode. Please write with “0” ".


    266 is 01h
    200 is 89h (it means even that 7 bit is used :O )

    so I just have to find 333/400 setting ? Can I do it this way? But with reboot everytime I wont be able to increase voltage to overclock :/

    IT WORKS!!! :D Thank you, moral hazard and nando4!

    I haven't tried it with X9000, and I had it for 6 months. It's an eXtreme as well, but I guess it's because the new one is supposed to run on 1066MHz FSB. I really don't know, but it works :D Today out of nowhere I decided to give it a go, set a baby step aaaaand BANG, it worked! So I pushed it further, and it worked flawlessly! So it definitely doesn't work with 800MHz CPUs as T9500 (probably X9000 as well, but since I have the wires Kapton-ed to the socket, I don't want to test it).

    Now I have another issue. When I get the clocks to 400MHz memory, it doesn't switch to 400MHz profile (6,6,6,18), instead it stays at 333MHz ones (5,5,5,15). What should I do? The modules are PC6400, so they definitely should work.

    Congrats, but it's not clear what you did above. Did you do a 200->266Mhz FSLx pinmod or just did software overclocking of your PLL?

    Your 965PM chipset will use the 333Mhz SPDTable profile because at it's highest 800Mhz FSB it runs 666/333Mhz RAM. The 965PM chipset does not support 1066Mhz FSB operation, and from what I can tell won't even boot if you try to run it that way. Hence why a T9400/X9100 requires a prior 266->200Mhz BSEL pinmod.

    The advantages of performing the 200->266Mhz PLL pinmod for your system are:

    * it will bootup the X9100 at it's native 3.06Ghz speed rather than 2.3Ghz.
    * your RAM will overclocked running at 443Mhz. Instability can be resolved by increasing CAS in the 333Mhz SPDTable entry.

    The CPU has unlocked multipliers so you can adjust it up to the point of thermal limits and/or instability.

    Do note if you are running a X9100 at 3.6Ghz (max) then you could have considered a cheaper T9500/T9300/T8300 to achieve simialr results. Wiith a dual-IDA modded bios and 200->266Mhz PLL pinmod the would have the following theoretic limits:

    T9500: 3.73Ghz
    T9300: 3.60Ghz
    T8300: 3.47Ghz

    Sorry, I posted it right away, just to share how happy I am :D

    It's "TME-unlock" using "ICS9LPRS365BGLF" through "setfsb_2_2_115_87". I asked a guy from a repair shop to do the mod a year ago, but it didn't worked for my T9500. Then I switched to X9000 and since there's ThrottleStop I didn't try if SetFSB would work. Yesterday I read about overclocking the memory and the only way that popped in my mind was SetFSB, and here we go.

    How to do FSLx pinmod, or the better question, is it possible to do 200->266Mhz FSLx pinmod, since I already have 266MHz -> 200MHz pinmod? Do I need to add even more wires :D I already have two - one for the downclock (266MHz -> 200MHz) and one for the undervolt (-0,2v). I'm a tad scared not to fry something.

    So it's not going to read the 400MHz settings, even though it's actually running at those speeds? What should I do, rewrite the 333MHz settings with the 400MHz one?

    It's not possible for me as follows:
    1. I don't know why, but with T9500 inside it wont overclock at all. Even slight bump in the FSB causes hang or BSOD.
    2. I have now X9100 E0 which runs A LOT cooler than C0 X9000 and T9500, so T9500 @3.73Ghz wont be possible as well, because I'll hit thermal wall @3.2GHz (that's the maximum I got form X9000).
    So X9100 E0 is my only option to get to 3.6GHz :)

    EDIT: Sorry, I'm a bit sleepy :eek: Scratch the second reason. I guess if most of the overclock is taken from the FSB, the CPU itself wont go that hot, or I'm mistaken? I never had unlocked CPU and FSB overclockable MoBo till now, so it's a bit dark field for me.

    EDIT 2: I saw what a FSLx pinmod is. Well I'll have to be sure that the system would be stable first. I found how to change the CAS as well, but I still can't find the rest of the timings. I'm really sleepy, so I'll get those tomorrow.

    Relatively fresh head now :)

    OK, the CAS (tCL) is easy, what about the rest - tRCD, tRP, tRAS? Their values are in ns, so how could I find which is the corresponding value for tRCD to become 6 for example? Trial/error?

    If I do FSLx pinmod it wont require any wires in the socket anymore, right? Which pin I'll need to lift/do-some-modifications? Since I can run it undervolted, and there is ThrottleStop, I wont need extra juice the hard way, right?

    EDIT: Found the spec sheet of my RAM, all I'll have to do is to change the CAS. Oddly enough, the rest of the clocks/timings are already at the 400MHz settings, where they should be slightly lower. Well at least I wont bother fixing them :D

    The second question remains - all I'll have to do (or someone to do it for me) is to lift Pin57 and connect it to Pin58? With fixed RAM clocks/timings it should run without any wire in the socket right?

    EDIT 2: It seems that changing the CAS value wont be an easy task. Probably because my MoBo is not supported, but it gives me an Error - "Verify Failed. Index 0x12 is 0x70, should be 0x40", where 0x40 is 6 and 0x70 is 4,5,6. Any other tools?

    hi, guys..

    my second laptop ibm thinkpad r50e was overclocked by 27% with setfsb, but synchronously changed pci clock make audio pci device unrecognized by system. (stable recognized by 10% overclocked)
    internal graphics get insane at 28% overclocked.

    r50e' PLL is "CY28346ZI-2"

    is there any method for this overed pci-clock emended to original clock with the cpu overclocked.???

    and..
    as for implementing hardware pin-moded overclock , do you recommend soldering devices appropriate for the microscopic job with URL link to me..???

    @triturbo
    You probly can't change your SPD ROM because it is permanantly write protected. That is the case with my Notebook Ram too.
    You can check this with this method.
    Only workaround is buying other not locked Ram or changing the SPD-ROM chip on the RAM for an unprotected one.
    If you are the risk taking type you can find this type of chip even on very old (Desktop)RAM-Sticks you might have lying around.

    Thank you for your input. That's really sad news :( I paid €145 for those and it's my most expensive upgrade. Probably I'll just call it a day. I saw your other post, if it turns out to be true, then I'll be able to make FSLx+BSEL mod, and I wont need to flash my RAM, as it would switch to 400MHz table.

    EDIT: Yep, protected. Damn hynix.

    Hello, guys

    Abo didnt answer, so I am still trying to figure out how to make setfsb work, first of all when I try to alter FSB via setting bits of register 14 , laptop reboots with new FSB instead changing it "on the fly". Does somebody knows why?

    Second problem, If I read correctly, PM45 cant boot up on 333, right ? Cause PM45 support up to 1066, so even if my P8400 could handle 333mhz without voltage increase, it wont boot up anyway.

    I can see that there was similiar thread long time ago

    I did a 266->333Mhz FSLx PLL pinmodded on a P9400-2.4 Dell E4300 after which it booted at 3.0Ghz. Increased it further to 3.16Ghz by running a dual-IDA Throttlestop configuration.

    The system needed a VID voltage regulator mod to increase top end voltage at highest multiplier. Samsung DDR3 RAM worked without problem but Hynix would give BSODs. See details. The P9300-2.26 version likely would have not needed any VID voltage regulator mods.

    Thanks for info Nando :)
    I think that VID mod is inevitable, I wont FSLx or any soldering, TME mod was just enough for my shaky hands :D so I really like to do it software way now. Btw link on those datasheets is very usefull for me, I know its not my 513v but some reserved bits are clarified now (I may not fit on mine pll but worth a try) I am still trying to figure out whats causing laptop reboot after FSB change, maybe watchdog ? I am really desperate :/

    Your offset 9 bit 6 is zero, meaning TME is unlocked. Pls follow details in Re: RTM875t-606( Info gathering and OCing) to try to overclock the system and report your results.

    Hello, so finally I managed to overlock via TME unlock my P8400@3Ghz (333x9 1,2V)

    problem was that my samsung module cant handle 1333 with 1066 timings(Micron can :) ). I still dont know why after FSB altering my laptop reboots with new frequencies.

    What do you think guys should I get better modules, do volt mod and try go for 400 ?

    And one more question Since FSB increase rebooting is there way to apply this setting before entering OS ?

    by the way thanks, without help and this forum I couldnt do it!!

    here is screenshot:

    Image-Share - image-jpg-1437-177


    //edit: aww solo samsung works too, some kind of conflict :/


    //edit2:

    Bricked that samsung modul, first of all I decreased minimal CAS latencies supported to 8 from 7. It wasnt enough so I decided to drop it to 9 which was rly bad idea, I suppose I can restore modul booting up at 333Mhz.

    BTW I used SPD tool but byte 14,15 ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Serial_Presence_Detect)

    First off ,thanks Nando for the links
    the problem is the more info i read the more questions i have.
    my pll is slg8lp554v and my processor is a t7300 @ 200 mhz
    reading over this thread it seems pulling pin 45 to ground via a 5k resistor would achieve 266 mhz operation?
    The problem with that for me is pin 45 ..the trace on motherboard dives through board like 1/32 (random number..its close) of an inch away from
    the pll chip. and im really not to keen on cutting the traces if there is a workaround...looking at your pll mod on your E4300 i see you get 333 mhz from 266 with alot safer approach imo . would a similar type of mod work for 200 - 266 operation? or am i way off base here?

    image shack made the quality degrade significantly but here is the shot
    my pll

    Hello, in you case 200>266 is 010>000 so u need FS_b pull to 0(10k resistor to gnd) which is pin 45.

    266 to 333 000>100 FS_c pull up. But you starting at 200 so both mods, and volt mod for CPU. If u want 333 mhz I recommend you to get PXXXX with 266 default.

    I hope it helped.

    Ok guys, my first post here.
    I have T61 (15.4" wide) with X3100 integrated graphic and T7100 CPU. I tried to overclock it as per tqbinh's post #1202. My motherboard is a little different than his, but I find correct points to do pinmod.

    The problem is that GM965 chipset obviously don't like 266MHz FSB. I can load windows in safe mode and test prime95 all day without any problem, but if I try to load windows in a "normal" way, graphics becomes garbled and soon bricks the computer. Is there any workaround that problem?
    Tnx.

    after pulling motherboard i think there may be a way for me to get 266 mhz operation but i was hoping someone with experience in this could look at my pics to see if i can pull this off or not. the problem is where pin 45 goes through motherboard . i believe ive found its location on back side of motherboard but am wondering if it connects to anything else on its way through the board?

    pic 1 shows the pll front and back just turned around so top is in same position
    pic 2 shows what i believe to be pin 45's route across motherboard
    pic 3 shows a solder blob from the factory and a fairly open spot to cut the trace on board..also is only solder blob on that trace line

    ImageShack Album - 3 images

    so my questions are

    1 is that indeed pin 45's trace on backside of motherboard? and is it modable after it comes through board like that or will mod need to be on the pll side.

    2 if i can mod after it travels through board does the location i chose on pic 3 seem good? there is a ground point about 3 inches away.

    3 my ram is a 1 gig samsung stick and a 2 gig hynix stick both 800 speed , ..should i slow down the cas on one stick of ram before hand ?
    i assume yes but what stick do i slow down?

    thanks to everyone whos helped

    @Javier Gusfraba:

    question 1: if you confirmed low resistance(0-2Ohm) between this point and pin 45 it should be relatively secure, in case it is wrong nothing should get damaged as you use a high value resistor(10k) for pulldown.
    But best would be if you crosschecked with the schmatic of your notebook, you might find it with google.

    question 3: first check if the RAM is write protected then it doesn't really matter which stick you mod, but you might have to decrease memspeed to 667 as I think not every chip can handle 1066MHz even at increased timings.​

    Now I personally have some questions I hope someone can answer me:
    First the situation:
    I have a HP nx6310 with i945 chipset and ICS9LP306 PLL.
    Unfortunately the clockgen does not seem to support software OC.
    I currently have as Core 2 Duo T5300(533FSB) and already tried a PLL mod to 667Mhz with Ram with modded timing but the notebook won't boot and just shut down.
    I already thought of one solliution: using a second PLL(which is software accessable) to generate the FSB clock, in this way I could circumvene the no boot issue and at least should be able to get some OC. Preferrably I would take this PLL from a old Desktopboard(P4) of which I have several in my posession.

    Now my questions:

    1. Does ICS9LP306 allow software OC?

    2. Second PLL: Is it possible to generate the FSB clock with a seperate PLL?The FSB clock signals seem to be quite identical from P4 upwards, appart from a little bit stricter timing. What are the requirements for the PLL?

    3. If you have any other idea how I could OC my Laptop please post it.

    I appreciate all anwers

    I been searching this thread for a PLL ALPRS355B. I have a HP/Compaq cq62-219wm that I want to put a Intel Core 2 Duo P9xxx or a T9xxx series or even a Core 2 Quad Q9xxx.

    I was reading the FSB downclock modthread on BSEL mod. then using either PLL Pinmod or software to clock it back up to speed. But I can't seem to find anything on this mysterious ALPRS355B clock generator.

    I haven't actually disassemble the laptop to really find the actual PLL but according to this schematic

    Any feedback would be great

    The CQ42 schematic also indicates it uses a ALPRS355B but then shows it as ICS9LPRS355BKLF MLF64 on pg2. It's the same PLL as used in a HP 2510P linked on the first page of this thread.

    I'm not sure if I'm in the right place for this question or not but here goes. I have SetFSB working fine on my Slate 500 running W7. I donated for both copies I use on my Acer and HP.

    Everything is fine running W7. When I load W8, SetFSB will not get past the shareware screen. It does not recognize the key. I wrote to Abo-san who asked me to demonstrate that I was a contributor and I sent the dates I contributed. I have never heard back after that. I'm assuming that he doesn't have SetFSB running properly in W8 yet. Does anybody have it running in W8 CP?

    If not, will Set-PLL run in W8? Anybody know? My slate runs so much better overclocked that I don't use W8, rather than run my atom at stock clocks.

    Nando man i need your help, i am currently on my laptop @266 mhz fsb but am extremely unstable .I was wondering if you could tell me if i can bsel mod back to 200 mhz fsb? ive been searching because i remember a post with info on down clocking but am having no luck.. i flashed ram to 333 but spd tool auto set cas faster. so i just want to down clock without removing fslx mod so i can reflash ram in a stable manor.. is this possible? and sorry for the rambling post

    As FSLx is hardwiring the PLL directly it should in theory ignore the BSEL pinsettings. If the CPU is unstable then can use Throttlestop to set a lower multiplier and optionally increase voltage to gain stability.

    If the RAM/video/chipset are unstable, then yes, need to set higher CAS in your RAM's spdtable. It would require unsetting the FSLx pinmod or find another system which you can swap the RAM into and flash it.

    thanks Nando,i have tried low multipliers and higher voltages with same random bsod's ..i did manage to do the throttlestop 32m (dropped from 89sec's to 66secs) and temps peaked at 75 before fan kicked on and it dropped about 4 degrees per core.

    I will make a detailed post with benchmarks as soon as i get it stable, for your information bank here.

    Got my old Patriot PC6400 2x2GB in there, as I guessed they're flash-happy. The next problem - someone cares to explain why the hell it heats-up so fast on what it's supposed to be standard clocks (3066MHz, 1066MHz FSB)? I mean, with ThrottleStop at the same CPU speed (3066MHz), but lower FSB (800MHz) it runs like 20ºC cooler!!! With SetFSB with the above clocks it hits 103ºC for just 40 seconds under Orthos! It takes A LOT more with ThrottleStop to reach 81ºC and stays there (maybe even lower, I ran the 3,0GHz test quite some time ago). Could it be because of the BSEL moded -0,2v?

    EDIT: Also the fan reactions are kinda retarded. At 80ºC it starts to spin-up at 90ºC it switches to higher gear, where it's supposed to run at full blast...

    about my 4741G,clockgen is ICS9LRS3197AKLFT,I want to overlock my cpu,first I

    input "setpll -read" ,it creat the myPLL.lut file,then I run "setpll -preview myPLL

    151",it shows "No 151Mhz entry in [BCLK] section of myPll.lut" .What's wrong?Did I

    do something wrong?

    soo after a bunch of time and 4 sticks of ram i have not had any luck making it stable.so i threw in a celeron 585 i had and it has downclocked itself to 133mhz on the bus?!? ram is at 266 yet stable.

    what im wondering is is it possible to "hot plug" my flashable stick that will not boot,with laptop in sleep(leaving working stick in place)..i mean it certainly does not sound safe,but i really dont know what else to do ...aside from buying more ram blindly hoping it will work...

    OK it seems that I don't need the TME unlock after all since 09h bit 6 is already 0. Which means I'm good to go for software overclock using setFSB. But then when I move the slider, it goes back to the original position. Any suggestion?

    EDIT: Nevermind. I finally get it to work! It does need to ground the pin 4. After 2 days i finally get to ground the pin using a 22ohm resistor (not the SMD type).

    My System:
    Acer Aspire 6920G with T8300 2.4GHz
    ICS9LPRS365BGLF PLL

    Currently running at 3 GHz ^^ @ 233 MHz FSB. Will try to increase it just to see how high it can go. Not sure if my RAM can handle it though.
    Will post pic soon once I settle everything up.

    UPDATE: Here's my screenie with my laptop running stable at 3Ghz. Now all I need is a GPU upgrade. ^^,

    just realized i was posting in a alienware thread not a ram speed thread so i will move back here i was reading throttlestops website it says
    "
    There is also another way of recovering corrupted SPD EEPROM device, which consists in hot plugging a DIMM module without the need for pin isolation. So, after POST is complete, enter BIOS Setup utility to get as much time as we need to install DIMM leisurely. Insert DIMM making sure the connector edge of the DIMM aligns correctly with the slot and push down firmly until it snaps into place and both levers close. Now press the F10 key to exit. Upon exiting BIOS choose No to not save the settings. After that your system will not be restarted and Windows will begin loading."

    the problems with that for me are
    1 my laptops bios (dell a17) does not have f10 save/exit command and also seemingly always resets after exit even with no change.

    2 im having a hard time finding info or success storys from people that have reflashed ram. i really dont want to buy more ram as only 1 stick has been flashable so far (1 out of 3 samsung 1gb?) and the only stick that will boot at 266 on the bus is a hynix 800speed 2gb at 6.5.5.18 timings(is write protected) .

    ~edit~ will thaiphoon burner work with xp in vmware?

    i am currently stable with this cpu and the hynix stick but my only flashable stick will no longer boot due to me using spdtool because of not wanting to install xp. i now have partition ready but am extremely hesitant to hot plug ram in sleep hibernate or in bios for fear of bricking my already gimped machine here. does anyone have experience with saving a dead stick of ram and have any pointers theyd be willing to share?

    or can i install ram from the "f12 one time boot menu option" at startup? sorry for being a rookie at this and asking what im sure are seemingly stupid questions

    Okay for anyone wondering in future,Yes you can install a bricked ram from boot menu as long as you have a bootable stick.

    i would like to thank everyone who has given me advice here at nbr otherwise this would have never have been possible.

    my dell lat e5400 has succesfully been fslx modded from 200mhz to 266 and is working stable at 6.6.6 18.24 timings@333mhz(now running @445)

    what i did was cut pin 45's trace after confirming its location on motherboard with digital ohm meter then ground it via 10k ohm resistor

    i used spd tool to flash the ram and thaiphoon burner demo for timing tables(and alot!! of trial and bsod..err error)system ran hot with high cas latency's??

    increased WEI from 5.5,5.5,3.9,3.4,5.7 to 6.4,5.9,4.2,3.5,5.7

    hyper pi dropped 10 secs
    throttlestop 32m dropped roughly 20 secs
    system is noticeably faster
    will update as egpu progress comes along

    NOTES

    make sure you have at least one flashable stick of ram before doing this mod.!!!!

    Is it possible for me to use setpll on my Qosmio X775 (i7 2630qm)? I generated a myPLL.lut but nothing further. I can not find a .lut for my laptop. How do I proceed? Pls help.

    Does anyone know what the available ram multipliers are for 200fsb on a gl960/gm965/pm965 chipset?

    I'm tempted to try 266fsb, but I'm pretty sure my ram can't handle 444. If there's a 1.33x, 355 should be doable.

    I guess I'll try changing my spd and give it a shot soon.
