In addition to the M4300 and M1330 I've successfully modded, I have also succesfully modded my Compaq 6910p, and that is as simple as the D630's clk gen location and M1530's modding! (The clock generator is under that RAM slot too, and also the 6910p only required moving some resistors around!) Here are the links to the threads that I have used to guide through this: Notebookreview forums (Now only on Wayback machine): web.archive.org/web/20220125155523/forum.notebookreview.com/threads/pll-pinmod-overclocking-methods-and-examples.393027/ ThinkPad forum: forum.thinkpads.com/viewtopic.php?p=728624#p728624
Oh man, imagine a M4300 with a X9000 and 1066 FSB. Some madman on the now gone NBR forums pinmodded his M6400 Covet to run at 1333 FSB, if only I could solder...
While it is possible to run X9000 with 1066Mhz FSB, the advantage you may gain is very little (If you can run 3.4Ghz at 1066Mhz FSB, you can get it to run 3.4Ghz at 800Mhz FSB as well), and not worth this risk. Alas, the M4300 is the hardest to deal with out of this bunch, you need to remove the motherboard, and then deal with the trace cutting, lots of things can go wrong. I will upload a version of this guide for a HP Compaq 6910p, and you will see over there it's actually extremely easy to get 1066Mhz, something even beginners can do!
Remove the keyboard and the inner ram stick and peel off the black sticker. Read what the black square chip says. If the model number begins with CY, unfortunately you cannot fsb mod that clock generator
@@rici_21 sadly the CY clock generator has zero support for driving 266Mhz BSEL that gives 1066Mhz FSB. If you do this same mod to that chip, it will choose a random FSB from 533/667/800 and never give you the 1066 that you want! The other clock generator chips are newer and have more headroom so that the same chip can be easily used on say the PM45/GM45 mobos that came later
@@kztech1319 Thank you so much for the explanation. I am thinking about getting second board with nvidia graphics and making good cooling mods for it so it doesn't fail....
That NVS135M board? actually even failure aside, the NVS135M is underequipped with 128mb of vram so you constantly run out of vram even for just web browsing resulting in sudden spikes of stutters. Not helping that recently the chromium browsers have completely blocked the h264 decoder of this thing, making RU-vid playback horribly inefficient...
Quick question, I have a d630, could I throw a q9000 or similar quad core with the jumper wire trick? I would be fine with reduced clocks running a 1066 fsb cpu at 800 for 2 more threads. Is cutting the trace required to force the cpu to run at 800, or is that only to increase the boards fsb to 1066? (I currently have a t9300 but I really need the extra threads for my application)
Adding quad core support is extremely involved, far more so than just cutting a trace, and I don't do any of those. Also peel off the black sticker behind the ram slot underneath the keyboard and read the clock generator chips model number. If it starts with CY something it can't be fsb overclocked
@@kztech1319for the quad core, do you have any resources for getting quad core support? Anddo you have to overclock fsb to get a 1066 cpu to run at 800 with reduced clock speed (reduce clock multiplyer from 7.5 to 7)
Update #2: I had no luck with the 945GM/PM platform and Socket M with this mod whatsoever! No luck getting a T5600 to run at 800Mhz FSB, nor do I have luck with even getting a T5300 to run at 667Mhz FSB (which, surely the CPU should be stable at that point but the chipset isn't)! So, if you have the 945GM/PM platform, your best bet is to get a $7 Core 2 duo T7200 and call it a day...
Ill attempt to do this on my m4300 and then slam in the x9100 what would be awesome is if someone manages to do the quad mod quad mod! quad mod! quad mod! ;)
Hello, just tobe sure, at the first part, when you put the wire, is it The mod from FSB 1066MHz (4 x 266) to 800MHz (4 x 200)? Becaure I don't find any picture about it. I have a laptop locked to 800Mhz FSB. I got a bunch of Intel P8400, 8600, 8800 for nothing. So I want try to increase my old laptop. Toshiba Satellite U400 21P.
Yes! Long story short, the first part is to add that jumper wire in the socket like you see as the thumbnail for the entire video! That forces the cpu down to 800Mhz
@@kztech1319 Thanks, interesting video because I was looking on internet, all old pages about that disapear. My old laptop has a GL40 chipset. I add the jumper wire. I try Core 2 duo P7450, P8800, both run a 2,1 Ghz. It boot fine, I can see cpuz but crash few minutes later. I will stay on my other cpu, but I hesitate between Pentium T4400 or Core 2 duo T6500. To add information to your video, without modification (FSB 800Mhz) : T7100 boot but instable, T7500 doesn't boot.
@@adonfjv It depends on your specific model. I see some U400 coming with the 965 chipset. But I did mention right in the beginning if you have GL40 chipset this won't work, as the later clock generation tweak will put the chipset to instability
I assume you are trying at 200Mhz BSEL (800Mhz FSB) and at like 1.9Ghz. Yeah now you can proceed with modding the BSEL1/FS B trace. If you are lucky and there are resistors inbetween, you won't need to physically cut traces Do note if you have the GL40, your chipset won't be stable after this step
Hello, I installed a T8100 and 1GB pc2‑6400 RAM on a Dell D630. CPU runs at 2.1GHZ with no issues but RAM is running at 667MHZ only. Could someone explain why RAM is not running at 800MHZ? What shoud I do to run at 800MHZ? Thx,
So for Latitude D630, it comes with the Intel 965PM or 965GM chipset, which supports 667mhz RAM speed at the fastest only, but PC2-6400 RAM sticks are 100% compatible. To make the CPU and RAM run faster you gotta do the FSB mod that is in this video. Do check your clock generator model before you do any mods though (under the RAM slot under the keyboard on D630), if you have a CY series clock generator do NOT do this mod - that clock generator is not compatible with 1066mhz FSB!
Hello @KZ tech, I would like to know if you can upgrade my Dell Latitude D830 pc to T9900 processor. I just need to put the jumper like this in the video or what should I do?
Quad cores involve a bios mod AND much more intense physical mods as quad core chips have twice the power rail pins on the socket. That's far beyond practicality in my opinion and only ThinkPad T61 users do it to stay with 4:3 screens
Can you provide me a core 2 duo t9300. I was searching everywhere in Kolkata for it but not found plzz provide me one. I will give u my old t8300 and t7250
hi, don't know if this is of any meaning but i took a T9900 cpu out of a broken sony vaio, (VAIO VGN-NW21MF) they come with stock T6600 (800mhz fsb). could this have broken that laptop? anyway i use that cpu in my dell precision m6400 now and i think its' good.
Depends on the chipset. If its a GM/PM45 chipset, it works with both 800 and 1066Mhz FSB out of the box (provided you dont insert a Merom chip) But do know that a T9900 is extremely expensive, and also your M6400 can support quad cores too
