I'll try that soon as I get home agian. But I'm however not going to use this CPU for ever, just wanted to give overclocking a shot. If the Quad fails on this laptop I must sell it and buy a T9900. I have a T9600 in my Hp, but don't want to mess with it and want it to have in working order. It also does good in games for now with 2.93Ghz and 9600M GT and 8GB RAM.

that sucks that overclock is not not stable, hopefully we can get Quads to work, what quad do you have now? or did you try?

I might try to get a Q9100 because thats what the Pm45 supports

here is the cpu support for the pm45 chipset if you can get a bios

CPU-Upgrade: Intel PM45 Express chipset processor support

I have still not heard anything new.. I'll look more and maybe create a public thread about it so other modders also can look in to it. I'm waiting untill tomorrow for that tou. And I can confirm that at 1066Mhz it is not stable. GTA IV crashes... But I'll try Crysis now. And no, I haven't tried Quad again.. But maybe I'll do that with the BIOS from ACER as akbisw were able to get his 45W CPU to work with it, but I highly dubt it will work...

UPDATE: Now SETFSB won't even set the FSB at 1066Mhz...

UPDATE2: Finally I got it to work. I'll take a look again and see if it is stable

UPDATE3: Nop, it is not stable at 1066Mhz what so ever. I'll back off with this and see if I can get the Quad core to work. A Quad core at about 2.50Ghz will run away from a C2D with 2mb cache and stable at 2.80 or even 3 Ghz

Just wish the T9900 had 12MB l2 cache I could walk to the USA to pick it up

[Meaker]

The reason quads have 12mb of cache is because they have 2 cores each with 6mb, so really a 6MB dual core will perform quite similarly.

I know that. But I will say in Quad optimized tasks it will smoke the Dual core. Like in GTA IV, try with a 3Ghz Dual core and a 3Ghz Quad Core

True lol. *huggles Q9200 and 7738g* still the only acer that can run a higher quad than Q9000

For now

But you have a 17" screen Too big for my use, I'm going to move a lot next year due to school and other stuff. But I must say I'm quite happy with Acer. If someone had said about 3 months ago you're going to buy a ACER laptop and be happy with it I would just die there of laughing... Well

I let my BEAST go free. Pictures are all that remains.






All jokes aside, I used my old ADDA fan and attached it to a usb wire, hooked up only black and red, cause thats all i needed. Used an old binder as you can see up there, and now I have my very own Frankenstein cooling mod. Please if you have any ideas for the cosmetics and all that, dont forget to leave me some advice. I left the bottom tray out cause it barely has any holes in it to let some air in.
The Temps on LOAD. Doing a CPU stress. Much better than having it go over 100C.

That looks cool actually. I can't do something like that as I move the laptop too much around.. I'll check what I can came up with if I can get my Quad to work, my tempratures now are rather good actually...

Also, your CPU is a core 2 duo right? as a T9900? What is L2 cache? And isin't 100C underload a little too much? The cooling on this model seems actually to be quite good..

I also feel sorry for you, you have the 'half enter' formed key. I hate that Orderd a new keyboard for my self tou

i am going to work on some modding, but i got to think about it, because i am thinking of adding more copper with maybe with fan, but how i do it, that is yet to be figured out. i just got this up and running about 2-3 days ago, so getting this far in that amount of time anit to bad, because i wanna get a 6770m and when i do, which will be very soon, am thinking with-in 2 months,
