    Does any body know if the pin mod that works on the q6600 works on the 1333mhz dual cores? What would the overclock be 1600mhz? has anybody tried it yet? I was wondering if the motherboard could take an 1600mhz overclock?

    no won't work.


    there is no mods for them.

    q6600 is the best mod for this unit.

    the best bang for the buck.

    it gives me stable 3ghz speeds @4cores better than almost the qx6800 @ stock. and beats the qx6700 at stock.

    I am gonna keep mine, from what I have seen mine will be as good or faster than alot of the new penyrns.

    Cool I'll guess I'll dump the 9550 idea and go with a q6700 I figured is should overclock to 3.330ghz. I would assume that would be faster than a stock 9550 at 2.83. only if you could overclock the 9550 that would of been great sitting at 3.4ghz damn you intel....

    Thanks

    damn thats some bull.... I thought it was the same proc just a little faster? So the only CPU we can overclock for this mobo is the 6600 thats it right?

    the best is q6600 it kicks prettymuch all the other processers out theirs butt.

    better than e8400 9550 qx6700 etc etc.

    theres nothing wrong with it.

    it's way cheaper than the 6700 and beats it too..

    I feel ya dexgo I was helping that I could try something a lil different than everybody else. Its seem like pretty much everyone has the same setup. I hear the whip cracking and master telling me to get back in line. :(

    Can a Peryn Q9450 in D901C be overclocked by this pin modding method too?

    You guys are gonna fry your motherboards :)
    3.0 quad core is more than enough for anything.
    A q6600 is the best bang for the buck at the moment.

    all come on guys. We would still think the world is flat if we never got off our behinds and tried to sail over the side. I say go for what you know and inform us. I myself am going to install my qx6700 and see if it will boot maybe sat night when i get some more AS5. I dont want more than enough I want "damn thats ridiculous" after all we are enthusiasts not some 80 yo women who owns a Packard Bell.

    explorer? what?

    I'm the one who paved the way for all this via my testing posting and research.

    I'm a leader if there was one.

    all others follow my path :p

    I know you want to be original.

    but do what I did. experiment learn and read.

    I am the first so trend setter I am.

    Does that make you the trend-setter trend-setter? Or can we just shorten that to trend-setter^2 ... or even to t-s^2?

    I thought Salivaxiu started this trend. Trust if I had my sager a day earlier this would of been a whole different story. Anyway All I was saying is people learn by doing so if old boy want to try and pin mod his 9450 then let him. then he can be the next TSX2 or TSX3 as a matter of fact.

    Agreed, onward and upward - and in all fairness, while dexgo did do a heck of a lot of hard work, the initial spur to action was salivaxiu's remark about two ways to access the OCing potential. So, if similar info isn't available for another CPU, the laurels of whomever gets it into OC mode will be all the more lush.

    right.

    Ford didn't invent the wheel :D

    but I took it down-town.

    just like in my work.

    I will be first in line if I see a great idea :D

    mine or not.

    Thanks to Salivaxiu. for turning on my lightbulb.

    Agreed - as Edison is reputed to have said, genius is 1% inspiration and 99% perspiration, so you are at least a 99% genius, if not moreso. As I've said before, you deserve more credit than you seem to have gotten.

    I think that's more a matter of buying refrigeration parts than it is laptop parts, isn't it? That and tools like soldering irons, pipe benders, flares, etc?


    I wonder if one could build a lighter, less space-intensive cooling system using some sort of pressured gas system, with thinner piping run throughout the innards of the notebook, and then passed through a small heat-exchanger at the back of the notebook that is isolated from the delicate internals of the system? Anyone have a hidden can or two of freon (C-12) we can play around with?

    You know I was thinking. Water cooling would not work in a laptop,it would add just too much weight and use space.
    Nitrogen based cooling is also another factor to consider.Not only will it be heavier (albeit the best cooling to date) but think of the catastrophe if one of those pipes breaks down and you got liquid nitrogen on the user. Poof, instant freeze. :|
    Not good.
    I think we`ll be stuck with fan cooling for a very long time. Unless they can create some sort of heatsink which has a potential difference on each end, the highest being the one next to the heated part and the lowest right at the vents,where the heat gets out. It`s like the current : flows from the highest potential to the lowest. If only I could figure out a better heat conductive formula than Laplace... :D

    What about simply making the entire case the heatsink? I know, lots and lots of weight, but come on, if one's willing to haul around a 9262, what's a little more aluminum in the case?

    On top of which, most of the weight would be cut away in order to maximize the surface area to dissipate the heat. basically, honeycomb most of the aluminum with microchannels - you'd get some really interesting visual effects as well - and leave just enough solid metal there to give a sturdy structure.

    Speaking of which, when I googled on microchannels just now I found this little webpage from _Intel describing some of their thoughts on "futuristic thermal solutions" (of course, it was published in '05, so it's a little dated now - sorta back to the future).

    I don't know about you guys but I can't wait for the next bios update. I really hope and pray they open it up. Meaning unlocking it for the most part, as well as making it compatible with the newer proc's (45nm). I feel like if they could do that this laptop would truly be worth the 3k+ I paid for it.

    Oh I thought there was a few bugs that needed to be worked out in a bios update. I retract that part of my statement then.

    G33K

    On another note if sager came out with a new mobo that allowed overclocking and use of QX**** proc's would you guys spring the extra dough for it?

    I think I would.

    I am already overclocking.

    I paid 300 bux for the processor and I am getting more than a qx6700 stock.

    we can overclock via pin mods.

    it's not as though we are stuck now.

    this is great news.

    No they won't probably ever let us overclock these desktop proc's

    but the fact that we CAN OVERCLOCK... is great.

    My rig is operating at the best it can be right now.

    Well from the seaching I've been doing its not a proc issue its a mobo issue I couldn't tell you why at this point but everything seems to point to the bios. If I can get a real answer I'm post it.

    people can't even pin mod in a desktop from what i've heard.

    there usually is just a few procs on a line that actually bennefit from the mod

    Has anybody actually tried it or is it speculation that it doesn't work with the q6700?

    Nobody reported yet doing it, so fo r the moment it is not possible. If you do not believe you could try it on your porcessor.

    One thing about the extreme versions. the multiplier is locked in the laptops, because of too much heat. The 9770 is running at 3.2 wow. I am wondering how noisy it would be. My laptop is quite quite.
