    waring!!!!

    this pic is my E6750 333 to 400 fsb.....

    if you use no.2 way...only 1 tape..

    The use of metal wire connections BSEL1-2 and VCC is very dangerous, because the VCC 3. X volts

    please Use insulating tape

    this way can use CPU up to high Fsb .....

    can use E2xxx E4xxx E6xxx Q6xxx and X series

    Please explain further.

    how much did you increase your fsb?

    did it work?

    try doing some tests.

    please write a howto that explains what you did.

    I thought people tried this on the q6600 and it didn't work.

    could I do this on my q6600?

    thanks

    I can't believe I never searched for this earlier.

    it seems that since our boards run at 1333mhz the tape mod I just posted for the q6600 should work!!

    then we could have a 3.0ghz 1333mhz quad.

    I'm gonna try it tomorrow night.

    I just tried by taping 2 pins. and it didn't work.

    I know this mod works because I have been reading all night about it.

    yes gangsta it should work for our quads.

    just gotta do it right.

    the tape must still be letting contact..

    dexgo , the pic is my E6750 oc 400Mhz Fsb

    your Q6600 is 266 fsb

    your need change to 333 fsb

    you can try use Insulation tape on BSEL2

    this is ture ! is ok!

    you can try it !

    [​IMG]

    Q6700 same to Q6600

    maybe this way can use to E8200....

    i think E8200 problem is here

    maybe broad cant recognition correct FSB Mhz

    so broad run E8200 on 266(0-0-0) all Low Power

    maybe we can use E8X00-Q9X00 CPU

    very good very Powerful

    it looks like it's idleing @40-42 degrees with fans on high with cooler

    look at my 3dmark score bud!!!!!!!!

    12396 marks with 1 card 8800.

    I ran wprime, and cpuz.

    you use 2 tape?

    no no no !

    only 1 tape can use 266 up to 333

    if you cover another ....These breakpoints are around power module

    If you cover the other breakpoints may affect stability

    the people way is same to my No.1 way

    Metal wires connecting VCC, and electricity supply, state recognition as High Power (1 state)

    this way Has an advantage , if your borad cant support MOD CPU, can use this way

    if your borad support MOD CPU ,can use Tape!

    D901C Broad support Mod cpu ...so ... use Tape

    Congrats dexgo :)

    I guess, becouse Kozi tested the mod and it did not work we concluded that it was not worth another try.

    I would say 67 C is too high of a temp. The thermal spec is 62.2ºC top. 5ºC more is too much.

    Maybe now you can rampup those 3dmark06 scores :)

    Congratulations!
    Should be careful about this overclocking. At 3Ghz the quad core will realease 2 times more heat as the dual core at 3GHz. the motherboar d might not take it.

    oh and trance

    67 degrees is from running TAT for 5 minutes. that's the most hardcore torture.

    NO, sorry.

    why?

    even dell when overclocked to the max the fans are on HIGH.

    that's stupid.

    Even my buddys oc'd beast desktop runs on the most mosterous air system.

    OC/PROC = MAX FANS.

    the overclock is dependant on good cooling.

    even the people on the net allover that are doing this on desktops... use the best max forced air cooling.

    but max fans do not matter as the system speeds up the fans under load, regardless. so why have the added noise when it is not necessary?

    noise doesn't bother me.

    I have 2 projectors and a overclocked desktop behind. me.

    plus a ceiling fan.

    if fan noise bothers you... you would freak at the noise in my Entertainment Room :D

    Yes the Fans are nessicary.

    because I changed the Thermal Spec of my notebook by overclocking the GPU and CPU. hence stock bios cooling isn't good enough.

    so MAX FANS 24-7 is the best option to cope when going out of thermal zones.

    I wrote a big document on this before.

    Its more healthy for your notebook to have fans runnning max when out of spec.

    you can't expect stock thermal zones by fans.. to be able to deal with higher thermal areas that are out of spec.

    the D901C does not ever go to max max fans under any load. it will crank it up a bit but in order to have max fans,you have to toggle it.

    actually it does reach max fans at a certain temp. i know this from my d900t. it would take a very high cpu temp to hit max fans, something that would be caused by placing the laptop sideways or blocking vents or faulty thermal compound. i know this as i tested all these scenarios out.

    but yeah it should not be reaching max fans, normally. so again you do not need the added noise of max fans, especially while surfing the net or sitting idle. it's really pointless as the system will ramp up the fans as needed so there is nothing to be affraid of.

    no, your wrong bud.

    the d900t isn't the d900c

    and my notebook never goes to max fans unless you toggle it.

    no matter what. you can even read me saying this and doing tests about it when I first got my laptop. I was worried about it.

    when you overclock you are not within the designed spec anymore bud.

    that's why it's best to have good cooling all the time.

    anyone who knows anything about overclocking knows this.

    and if noise bothers you... that's your issue.

    noise doesn't bother me at all. and others the same.

    well i never used the d900c, but i would be surprised if max fans do not get toggled automatically under a critically high cpu temp. it does not make any sense. maybe you never tested it properly by blocking or sufficating the cpu vent?

    fan speed is tied to the cpu bios sensor. it is controlled strictly by cpu temp. it does not matter what oveclock you got going. fans turn on, turn off, and adjust based on bios cpu temp.

    you do things your way, I do things my way <----the right way :p

    to each thier own.

    Me having max fans 24-7 .keeps both my Processor and GPU cool all the time... the way I like them.

    even on my m1710 I re-wrote the thermal zones so it kept the temps within my said range. essentially fans on high 24-7

    that's the way.. uhuh uhuh I Like IT!

    Dude,neither does the M570RU. It does not toggle full speed fans unless you force them.
    Though my temps never reached 80C for the CPU(Orthos stress test) and 69C(Crysis) the fans never went on full blast.
    In games, the highest CPU temp was 65C in Unreal Tournament 3 and 69C in Crysis. If I force full blast they drop some 5C. Never felt the need though, and since I`m no expert OCer(hell , even an OC of 630/800 for the standard 575/700 gets me huge artefacts :( ) I never forced them.
    But OCing goes hand in hand with max fan speed,it`s common sense.

    Outstanding work guys.. I read about this kind of Mod a while back for the E6700 which included connecting 2 pins, here is the link http://www.ocforums.com/showthread.php?t=499340 Never tried it though, since I did not feel I really needed it and since I have the NP9260 and I don’t know if my Mobo will support 1333. I updated the Motherboard Bios but I don’t think this one will do 1333. I don’t know which Motherborad version does. Maybe someone can shed some light on that for me.

    My question is, since Salivaxiu and others here seem to know about those mods, on the E6700 should I just use insulating tape on 1 Pin or do I need to use 2 tapes?

    Again Great job and I guess there is only one way to find out if my Mobo will do 1333..lol

    i don't think that your mobo supports 1333 your right.

    only the mobo that was for the quad rev's supports it.

    I think you are right Dex, I opted not to pay for the Mobo Revision at the time, so I still have the retard one..lol But that does not mean I will not try it.. Just need to know if I only need to use one insulating tape.. Let the frying begin..

    All of this is really great news.

    My question is if this mod, or something similar can be applied to any of the 45nm Quad-Cores Processors, such as the Q9650 3GHz (which natively a 1333MHz FSB)

    I have my D901C actually overclocked to 3.2GHz running a QX9650 Extreme Quad-Core (that I borrowed from my Desktop machine) by changing via software within Windows the multiplier, as the chip is multiplier unlocked. At 3.2GHz it is fully stable and have no thermal issues what so ever. Many vendors of Clevo in Europe offer the Extreme CPU with the D901C, but not anyone that I know in the US or Canada.

    I have managed to actually push it to 3.4GHz and even 3.6GHz but never got the system to be stable enough or complete any thorough benches without a system freeze or blue screen. I don't think its temperature related as I was monitoring them and they were within OK parameters, as much as I think it may be a BIOS related issue or lack of increasing voltage (which on this laptop I cannot do... at least not via the BIOS).

    So, I'd be interested to know if the pin mod could be applied to the cheaper Q9650 and to how much?

    Thanks!
