1333 FSB Mod, Confirmed To Be Working By Me.

[Nate P.]

So this pin mod is confirmed to work with the E4300? (Just to clarify)

I'm looking for a yes or no answer. Thanks.

I remember reading somewhere in this thread this mod also works with 800MHz CPUs. They do need the 1066MHz mod first, though, because this one is only for 1066-to-1333MHz FSB.

Do keep in mind, though, that your E4300 MUST be able to POST at default voltages at 1333MHz for this mod to actually work, and that can be a little hard.

Also to keep in mind is the fact that not every motherboard and/or chipset accept BSEL manipulation. 690G for Intel doesn't seem to like it (at least on the ASRock board), and ALL Gigabyte boards are immune to BSEL manipulation: they either don't even POST or do a standard-FSB POST, even with the mod.

Cheers.

P.S.: Sorry for disapointing you, but there really isn't a yes or no answer on that question.

Uh a 1333 E2140 would be a nice thing

Actually, I've seen somewhere (another forum, perhaps) a 1600MHz FSB E2140, with only a 0.05v or 0.1v (don't recall correctly, sorry) boost over stock voltage. So that's not too shaby.

Oh, and please keep in mind that, unless you have specific reasons for BSEL-modding (like your mobo not supporting OC or having trouble with certain memory ratios with some FSBs), you'll probably be better out without it, since if you don't have those problems, it is all too likely your motherboard will OC the CPU to where you want it with no BSEL mods needed.

well im hoping that my quadgt will work with the 1333 strap this way. just have to get some conductive ink to try it.

Yes, that's also a valid reason for the BSEL mod. However, I was under the impression that the strap change was automatic (meaning as soon as the CPU hit the 333MHz mark, the strap would change).

Though I have to admit I don't really understand the mechanics and insides of OC'ing (especially considering that anything equal or above 333MHz is "serious OC" on my book... hehehe)

lol, i did the 1333 mod and, what can i say ... it didn't exactly work out

... using the ab9 quadgt (P965) with bios 16, which should allow the use of fsb1333 cpus.



[edit] mod looks ok though, not very clean, but the multimeter says it should work.

[__Miguel_]

Hmmm... what kind of CPU are you trying to get to 1333MHz? The mod should work for 1066-to-1333MHz jumps ONLY. If you have an 800MHz CPU, then you'll also have to apply the 1066MHz mod.

And it could be that the QuadGT does not like BSEL mods (like the Gigas), or simply that the BIOS is simply not ready/mature yet.

Cheers.

E6600. the one in my sig.

E6600. the one in my sig.

The only two reasons I find for that to happen are an incorrectly executed mod (not enough conductivity) or some sort of BIOS incompatibility with 1333MHz FSB CPUs.

You made a dual tualatin... good job...

Or the mod could be wrong and changing the wrong pad from H to L or vice-versa.

[NoSoMo]

for 800mhz FSB Core 2s...
see post #160, #263, and #361 for 1333FSB
see post #83 for 1066FSB
So much for searching

yeah, pretty cool huh?

pics ??

thanks ^^

[__Miguel_]

Hmmm, just a quick question, if I may. How hard is it to remove conductive ink? How do you do it? And, does it leave residues?

Oh, right, those are three questions, not one... If youdon't mind, though...

Thanks in advance.

Miguel

[Der_KHAN]

fingernail polish remover will remove the ink

...

[ziddey]

water and a qtip to scrub would even remove the ink enough

[__Miguel_]

Thanks guys!

I'm considering trying a BSEL mod on my E4300, since I have an ASRock mobo who REALLY doesn't like being messed with (it simply resets itself every time I try o OC even 1MHz... weird...), so I think I'll try the mod. A little more juice wouldn't be all that bad

Now, were did I put my Yellow Pages? hehehe

Cheers.

Heyla kunaak, great job

The nice thing is that this mod is the only way to get any new shuttle SP35P2 to work over 333 fsb (due to some crap ram dividers beeing used at default fsb... you can't get the 1:1 dividers).

If it's possible, could you explain a little bit easier how the make the mod? i didn't get so much, i have to work on the cpu or on the socket itself? from pics of the cpu, what should i do exactly? remove that pin or just using something else?

Sorry for dumb question but i would like to be sure before killing anything

Thank you in prior man

As someone once said, there are no dumb questions, just dumb answers. That's even more true when component life expectancy is at stake... hehe

I know I'm not kunaak, but I know you work on the CPU itself, not on the motherboard. You take the CPU, flip it so the golden connectors are visible, orient it as the mod pic shows and then, if the mod/modder says "pad this connector", you put some duck tape on it; if it says "connect these connectors", you simply have to use conductive ink to trace a line between the connectors.

Hope this helps.

Cheers.

it's so easy i just need to use a conductive pen, the problem is to find it in my town oh yeah

[megatron]

Might be easier to find a Rear windscreen defogger repair kit, in a car garage. It might not be called the same thing in the USA as in the UK.

Hi,
am new in this forum. Pls. I will like to know if the vcore volt has to be increased too. Am currently running Q6600 @3.26Ghz watercooled Asus P5N-E SLI, with 4Gb OCZ Crossfire DDR2 800. What are your temp. like and how stable is your rig? My last question is what make of conductive pen did you use or can one i use a pencil for this mod so that if it doesn´t work i can easily wipe the lead off.

The CPU has to be stable at whatever speed the pin mod puts it at, at stock votage. i don't think a pencil will work.
