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

[User Retired 2]

Thanks for your quick reply nando4
So only changing the MSR CPU register with c2ctl not enough like this thread is saying? This isn't true?

*some* MSR tweaks are available for Intel CPUs. Eg: the Throttlestop utility tweaks MSR values and can set things like voltage and run dual-IDA for IDA-capable c2d or change TDL/TRL turbo boot parameters but that's it. In the case of the m11xR1's SU4100/SU7300, dual-IDA isn't available.

Only way to get faster CPU performance that we know of (Intel could have some unlock feature somewhere that is confidential), is via a PLL pinmod. To go faster still would need to BGA unsolder the CPU and install a L9400/L9600/P9400/P9600 CPU. Hardly worth it given how inexpensive notebooks are these days and other alternatives like ultraportables+eGPUs that convincingly outperform even a m11xR3.

Well if its any help or game changer about that notorious 2.4ghz i found some monster ram Vengeance® ? 8GB High Performance Laptop Memory Upgrade Kit (CMSX8GX3M2A1866C10) - Laptop Memory Upgrades - Memory by Platform Its got 1866mhz but interestingly they gave it auto-overclock. So idk if this is of any use I think its certainly as good as it gets for a ram upgrade.

using CMSX8GX3M2A1600C9 you get the same 1600mhz cl9, the same stability, better price [remember you are limited by the northbridge and cpu]

go a head and give it a shot if you want. i would love to see someone hit 2.4ghz .

just remember no matter what ram you try out. the M11x is still going to run it at the settings its set to. (depending on OC mode enabled/disabled, Pinmod, ect).

those XMP profiles and auto OCing stuff are made for "I" series CPUs and wont have any effect on the C2D in the M11x. the M11x will just treat it like any other RAM, trust me i tryed out some of the stupid expensive 1600mhz Kingston stuff a while back. i actually couldn't even get stable with both sticks on my 2.0ghz pinmod. let alone 2.4ghz even tho the Jdec table led me to believe it would have worked...

i know it all kinda boils down to bandwidth but using the low timings that the M11x sets really make the RAM unstable.

Thanks a lot for the advice I'm probably going to give it all I got this weekend. I'll Make sure to take pics and inform you guys of new stuff I might try.

1866 cl10 or 1600 cl9 have the same chance to oc but 1600 cl9 are cheaper. I'm interested too but for now I can't make any investment, need to get pass my faculty license... just a silly paper to proove myself to the employer

I'm curious about temperature gains once finished with the CPU over clocking and pin mod from the factory 1.3ghz, how much noticeably different is it?

I run D3 for semi long sessions (hour to hour and half long) and it gets reasonably hot. Even using my NC-2000 cooling pad.

[vladichimescu]

Pinmod to 2.0Ghz and vid mod increase for stability; temperatures [when max load, doesn't reach 60 ~I've seen once 58 but most of time when gaming is a little over 50]

Using the integrated graphics and cpu at 2Ghz, having an ssd, my sistem is complety silent when music, web browsing and videos, only when compiling or watching hd video the vents start from time to time [using the discrete graphic the system's fan starts quite often, that's the reason I stay with the official old switchable drivers until there will be a way to choose integrated/discrete in bios]

PS: when siting on the desk with the laptop, I use these Mini Cool Ball Laptop Cooling Pad: [don't like active fan cooling pad because of the noise]

So after I cut the pin (i have the ICS) is it going to boot up to 2 Ghz or i need to do some other modding?

not to sound like a jerk but... did you read the first page?

to answer you question, no. you have to mess with some software to get the ICS to OC the CPU.

it may be possible to just do the "pinmod" to get the ICS OCed @ 2.0Ghz but no one has ever reported doing it on here that i can recall.

ok guy,i did it at 2.0ghz few month ago by just cutting the pin and im totally crazy loving my alien..but suddenly it floating and my TME enabled again made me almost hugging my alien and cry!! today im just PASS BY this thread and make me wanna go back at 2.0 again...so is it possible that i doing a solder and will it unlock the TME again?
