How to pinmod and further overclock the M11x R1 (SLG= Hardmod only)

[gooface]

Still waiting for my m11x to get back to me, I miss it, I had a ICS on the mobo, but the thing failed on me, its been at the repair center since the 18th.

The pinmod is already set up. I just need to do the SetPLL and SetIGP to try to get to 2GHz.

@kevmanw4301
cut pin 14 or ground the pin via 10k 1/4watt resistor if you have ICS pll

it doesn't have to be a 1/4 watt resistor...

I used a surface mount one and it works just fine...

i know that but most of people use 1/4 watt resistor in this thread.........

They are just the most common is all

Many thanks to "some guy" who just overclocked my SLG M11x to 2.0GHz, for a nominal fee of course. I just didn't want to risk my fat fingers causing problems, not to mention the small investment I'd have to make in tools anyhow if I were to do it.

This thing runs rock solid now, and overall seems a lot more "peppy". Unfortunately my GPU doesn't overclock the greatest, but still decent: GPU 590 / Shader 1390 / Mem 840
Now I end up with a 3DMark06 score almost exactly 7900. I played a round of Bad Company 2, and it was actually fairly smooth. All low detail of course. The biggest issue I realized was the small screen, trying to see enemies from afar. Considering I'm used to high detail at 1920x1200 on a 24" monitor, it's an adjustment I guess.

Well you'll have to ask him. I don't want to offer him up or divulge pricing. I think it was kind of an experiment for him. Plus he lives reasonably close to me so shipping was cheap too. I live in Michigan, USA, and your location shows Mexico so shipping may make it prohibitively expensive anyhow.

Looks like you may have found a short term niche job. Good work. I think I may open my machine up one of these days soon just to take a peek. I had considered selling it but after using it more, I'm just going to keep it. My Sandy Bridge desktop build can wait until next year!
