Voltage Pin Mod on Mobile Barton
A question re my upcoming first overclocking :-))
Just ordered a 35w 2200+ Barton Mobile from newegg ($77). Biostar M7VIT-Pro (KT-400) board only has fsb settings, so I'll be using the wires in the socket pin mod method of overclocking -- my first time. Can't experiment much as it's a challenge to get my heatsink off past a pesky capacitor. After reading all the user comments at newegg, I decided on 166 * 13 for 2158 MHz (3000+) at 1.5 volts (stock is 1.35). Will be setting fsb at 166 using the jumpers on the board. I suppose it makes no difference if I put in a wire for 166 fsb or not? The other question is, to pin mod the voltage, do I need to cut any bridges, since the cpu is so unlocked? Thanks in advance! -- Ed Light Smiley :-/ MS Smiley :-\ Send spam to the FTC at Thanks, robots. |

If your board's BIOS recognizes it as a mobile, it might use the desktop-voltage table (most pinmod guides are based on this one) or it may use the proper mobile-voltage table (giving you a different voltage than you expect). Sadly, I don't know which your board will use. Okay, that doesn't help much at the moment. But it's something to remember if the voltage is goofy. -- sls |

The board doesn't have bios that claim to recognize mobiles, being an old kt400, so I hope it will use the desktop scheme. -- Ed Light Smiley :-/ MS Smiley :-\ Send spam to the FTC at Thanks, robots. |
