Going by yhe pic in the 1st post by LazyBoy you could have fireworks, you have linked a wrong pin.

Thats on a E4300 guys

to make it boot with a default 266 FSB

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

Jokester

I bought mine from a well known electronics store. Even though their pricing is atrocious, they are competitors so i cant post the pen.

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

Please report back

For 200fsb models it is different.

See here.

so if i do this 4300 mod on my 4300 when it comes itll mean i can overclock even further??? Any risks involved etc?
Will this be ok to mod before iv even used my processor hardly? Or is 'burning in' still required before modding/overclocking cpus? iv never had an intel before

will do...

That pic is defo pins 2 and 5 right?

Hmm... 9x266 = 2.4GHz

but... 9x333 = 3GHz!!!

I might well give this a go...

Doesn't matter what brand of CPU you got, 'burning-in' is a myth I believe, I think of it more as time for the thermal paste to settle down. You can't burn-in a cpu, its not a car engine trying to start in the cold?

Looks like a nice easy mod, can't say I've ever worked with conductive paint before

The 1333 mod doesn't work with the 4300 cpu's

Edit: seen you have a 6600.

go for it

BAH!!

lay-z-boy · 12 Feb 2007 at 01:22

*should* be going to overclockers tomorrow to pick up my 4300/6300, abit 680i and 2gb geil 6400c4

will report back on the mods

That's if i can get my rear tyre puncture repaired, just had a new set as well....

*grumbles*

peetee · 12 Feb 2007 at 01:22

so with these mods would it be still sane for me to order a 4300 for the overclocking, or does the 6300 now come out ontop now for ease of overclocking due to this raising of the FSB?

lay-z-boy · 12 Feb 2007 at 01:27

You need to remember that the cpu must be able to boot/stable at those clock speeds properly and ideally at stock vcore, not needed though.

clocking depends on the luck of the chip you get, some chips i have had pass through my hands can barely do 5mhz above! (yes they are that bad)

peetee · 12 Feb 2007 at 01:35

oh ok, but does this mod make 6300s more desirable than 4300s now? Id just placed an order for a 4300 on friday night along with pretty much every other component needed for a new build

Or does this mod just mean that where motherboards previously couldnt boot to the FSB that they now can or something? confused ..

lay-z-boy · 12 Feb 2007 at 01:42

As i said it depends on what clocking chip you get, some are great some are ****.

Personally i would go for the 6300, i think i will be.

Not been able to get near any shops today, will hopefully be able to try this sometime this week though.

Anyone else got round to trying it yet?

[Edit] It appears my board does NOT support 1333FSB. Will this be a problem? :confused:

From my quick skim through the thread last night, your board must support 1333FSB for this to work, they were saying it didn't work till they had flashed it to a BIOS that supports the 1333FSB.

peetee · 12 Feb 2007 at 19:06

so what do these mods(as there is a 6series one AND a 4300 one .. right?) actually do? How will they increase performance when FSB can be raised to said speeds through BIOS anyway?
What iv said is probably wrong, im not just clicking with what exactly it does and how it changes anything?

Yeah

Your mobo must support a fsb of 333

Your Asrock does not.

For me this is fine as I have a E4300 in second pc with exactly your mobo so I can mod the 4300 to boot at 9x 266 allowing a raise up to 300 FSB for a cheap 2.7ghz

Not bad performance for 135 quid

Couldnt you raise it to 300 without the mod?
Someone enlighten me, im confused!

So if you do the 9x 266 mod on the E4300 you already have a overclock without overclocking the NB.
Basically the mobo thinks you have installed a 6600

Of course if you have a 6600 which is already 9x 266 the mod is pointless.
