Working 1333 FSB Mod!

[lay-z-boy]

Kunaak over at XS has confirmed that the 1333fsb mod for conroes/kents works

Original Thread

Hat's off, quite an easy mod as well.

 

[hardc0re_tid]

is there any benefit in this?

 

[Digital Punk]

Most people would have overclocked way past 333fsb anyway.

I don't see much point in it myself.

And if they weren't going to overclock, then I'd doubt they'd be willing to mod their chip instead.

Well if you read the link i posted, he found that he could get a slightly higher overclock on a few chips.

Memory bandwidth goes up as well, so faster overall system.

Some intel boards don't have a native 1333fsb strap when you overclock them, so you are overclocking the northbridge as well, northbridge overclocks are limiting in a few cases. So with a higher fsb strap, the nothbridge isnt as overclocked as much and can open the possibility of reaching a higher oc.

Quite a number of cheapish boards dont let you hit that oc, some dont allow oc, this helps out.

i have an asus p5b with a e6300 at 2.8 and my fsb is 1600. is there a danger in this without the 1333 mod?

tried going to 3.15 (450*7) which resulted in jumping up to 1800 fsb, again is there any danger in this?

 

[lay-z-boy]

There is no danger other than any other ganeral danger you have when overclocking.

With this mod you could relive some electrical stress from both the nb and the cpu which in turn, could allow for higher oc and a faster 'stock'

Danger, not really i wouldnt be worried if temps are okay and if you are below 3.8 ghz for it....




Hmmm wont the mainboard be confused with this mod tho? How will overcloking be after modding the cpu?

If the mainboard supports 1333fsb, after the mod, the bios/cpu defaults will be exactly the same bar the stock fsb will now be 1333 instead of 1066.

overclocking seems to be slightly improved, stability also in a few cases.

reminds me of the L12 mod in the sockat A days i guess its a similar idea and works the same from the looks of it

 

[GAMEfreak]

does this work on E6300's too? and what exactly do you do 0_O, that pic aint clear. do i connect the pins using a graphite pencil? or?

6300 is a castrated conroe so it will work.

Check the link as it contains many more pictures.

 

[Duke]

Great find, will give it a try if I knew how to do it / what to use etc

does this work on E6300's too?

Yep should work on all Conroe chips

Ah yeah, me too, brings a tear to me eyes so it does...any o' you youngsters remember the Thunderbird - imho started the competitive race that now gives us quad-cores and beyond.

Heh, loved me good ol AXIA birds.. good times!

i had a 1.33ghz @ 1.5ghz 10x150mhz (SDR Model) aahhh the good old days, unlocked multiplyer with the pencil trick , i might do this with my conroe to see if i can get higher clock

 

[Socaddict]

so tempted by this. anyone know where i can can get decent conductive ink pens from to try this?

 

[Jokester]

Might give this a go, where do you get conductive paint, local auto parts store?

[easyrider]

Auction sites.

Im so trying this on a E4300 heres how:

This will mean 9x 266 meaning 2.7ghz on a 35 quid ASROCK!

E4300 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^Method

 

[Jokester]

That's the wrong pins ^^^

@easyrider

Just to clarify for other readers the mod you have done is for the E4300 only?
