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

[some guy]

quick and dirty answer:

attach 3.3v via a 10k resistor to pin 7 with OC mode enabled in the Bios.

Thank you for the fast answer so I don't have to cut the pin off the mobo. I will order an smd resistor and try this like you did thx

yea I THINK that cutting pins in a ICS pll thing....

@some guy. Thanks! Ill try... Im not very hardware savvy.... used to play a lot of console games and decided to move to PC not that long ago... thought this PC would be able to handle what I needed it to do, but recently I've been selected to beta test the new Star Wars The Old Republic MMO and it hardly runs at minimal settings. I have the core 2 duo 1.73 in OC mode. One question. When doing this pinmod is it better to have OC mode on or off? I heard if its off you can get 2.4 to 2.6 ghz. Im basically just looking for someone willing to make money to do some hardware upgrading for me... such as pinmodding and whatever else it would take to get this baby through a couple more years of casual gaming.

Also I was wondering if there might be a company (small or large) that I can send this into to get the all the mods i need required to get my R1 running at the maximum performance possible. If someone could point me in the right direction that would be great. Im so overwhelmed with all this info as I do not know much, if anything, about computer hardware.

Max is not proven to be achievable by all systems. There is real risk if killing your machine even if only making modest changes rather than max

Well of course im not trying to run my machine into the ground, but if there is potential to be unlocked safetly (which a lot of these other folks have) then I want to do the same.

there is sooooooooooooo much info on this stuff already. i have a handy link in my sig that should answer many questions you might have.

other than that i can help with anything you might not understand. i may even be able to do the pinmod for a small fee if you feel its beyond your soldering skills.

fyi: so far the highest SLG users get is 2.0ghz and ICS users get 2.1ghz. so dont get your hopes up for anything higher. some users will even get lower...

[nicholast87]

I would definitely be happy with 2.0 ghz... it at least meets the minimum requirements of most of my games. I am definitely not confident with my soldering skills... Ive maybe used a soldering iron twice in my life and buggered everything up. I've read this same thread for the last two days and still cant make sense of anything (thats how lost i am when it comes to modding or hardware even)

Basically, I was just looking for someone who wants to make some extra cash that could vmod, pin mod, OC the GPU and CPU for me. I'm blind in one eye as it is... so I don't think I could psyically do the pin modding anyway.

[some guy]

i may be able to help but after Thanksgiving im going on the first vacation of my adult life... its been looooong over due and and it will be 11 days of awesomeness where i dont plan to fix or mod anything...

if you can get it to me soon i can help you out.
