Tips Tricks and Tweaks:
TIP: go to advanced -> jumper free configuration -> ai overclocking and set it to manual to get all the overclocking options
TIP: dram frequency auto = sets a 1:1 fsb:dram divider, fsb100:dram400 = actually sets an fsb:dram 5:4 divider and fsb100:dram533 is actually the fsb:dram 1:1 divider again. i tried all settings and combinations, setting the ct470 to 133fsb or 100fsb, booting at 133fsb or 100fsb or 101fsb and using pc2700 and pc3200 memory but i could get any other divider working.
TIP: go to advanced -> chipset configuration and set configure dram timings by spd to disabled to be able to set memory timings
TIP: 2.0-2-2 doesnt work for me with 2.9v even at only 150mhz. i had to set it to 2.0-2-3 or i would get memory corruption.
TIP: hyperpath 2 enabled or disabled didnt make a difference at all to me
TIP: the actualy vcore is a lot higher than what is actually set in bios
this is with a pentium m banaias 130nm:
1.1125v = ~1.200v
1.2125v = ~1.290v
1.3375v = ~1.410v
1.4375v = ~1.504v
1.5375v = ~1.600v
1.6625v = ~1.710v
TIP: the voltage readings in bios are pretty accurate, so if you increase vcore save to bios and reboot and enter bios again to see how high vcore is actually set.
TIP: vdd aka the chipset voltage is almost 0.2v lower than it should be according to the bios settings, to get really high fsbs you need a vdd mod to around 1.8v or higher
TIP: vdimm is pretty accurate, its 0.02v higher than whats set in bios.
to get more than 2.9v you can do the 3.3v rail to vdimm mod wich is pretty easy.
TIP: go to advanced -> onboard devices configuration and disable the ITE ide raid controller to speed up the boot process
TIP: go to advanced -> onboard devices configuration and disable all serial ports, game ports, onboard sound and onboard lan to make sure nothing is holding you back when ocing to the max
TIP: go to advanced -> usb configuration and disable the usb controllers to make sure its not holding you back when ocing to the max
TIP: use the EIST tool or CrystalCPUID to increase your multiplier and then increase the fsb bit by bit to find the max stable cpu speed
TIP: use the EIST tool or CrystalCPUID to lower your multiplier to find the max fsb/dram speed. if you think your memory is holding you back set the fsb100:dram400 divider wich results in a 5:4 fsb:dram divider to see if it was really the memory holding you back.
TIP: if you hit the fsb limit on your board increase the chipset voltage
TIP: if you hit the fsb limit on your board increase the pciE speed by 5mhz and see if you can get a higher fsb
TIP: the max fsb you can boot with is not the max fsb you can run in windows!
pentium m cpus initially boot with the default multiplier and fsb , then apply the fsb set in bios and then the multiplier set in bios. this means we cant boot at high fsbs because the stock multiplier with the increased fsb results in a huge cpu clock that crashes the cpu, even though this high clockspeed is only applied for a fraction of a second.
TIP: set the jumpers on your ct479 to 100fsb wich should give you a 10-20mhz fsb boost
TIP: always backup your hdd if your ocing so you dont lose anything if the hdd corrupts
