got a cheap dell the other day with a e2140 (dual 1.6GHz)

so i thought i'd give it a little boost using some silver tape from my local ...
which cost me £1.99, a Stanley knife, scissors and some patience

end result = 1GHz overclock in a dell system :D

idle temps = 33 - 34 degs, load 44-45 same as before the mod

used this guide and it worked perfectly, didnt need to do any vmods

was initially put off by the £15 pen or the £8 paint, but £1.99 is perfect :D

might aswell post this before someone else does lol

Heh yeah was going to originally going to write "Am I" then changed it to "we" since I thought it left me less open to pedantic criticism about it being me missing something as oposed to my question of it being there. But hey I should know there'll always be something people will pick at :rolleyes: :p

Not to mention a 66% FSB overclock . . . nice! :)

I remember reading about this mod ages ago but never tried it myself, I wonder if the tape or conductive ink/fine brushwork is the better way?

I think a 1066 BSEL Mod may be a good idea for E5200 owners, the 1333 is a big ask unless there is a way to mod the default multi too

12.5 x 266 = 3325MHz

12.5 x 333 = 4162.5MHz
 
well the tape method worked out cheaper but its quite difficult if you have fat fingers lol

also i noticed that in bios it still reports as a e2140 and next to it it says at 1.6GHz
so i thought it didnt work at first, but i booted in windows as i had a hunch the bios would have read the cpu id info, and yep windows reported it correctly

i should have taken a picture of the cpu but i was anxious to try it out bah

awesome!
how are temps though?

temps are the same tbh, 33-34 idle 44-45 on load

that's with the dell silent fans / sink

i didn't really expect the temps to go up more than 2-3 degrees as the voltage is the same and 1.6Ghz to 2.6Ghz is not much of a clock in reality, but good enough for an unclockable dell :p
