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

[some guy]

Im just gonna leave this here....
Hopefully you can help the other guys too

awesome!

@ DavyGT

that would mean atleast 2.0ghz for most that can run it stable, right?

is the 333mhz thing you speak of just a normal pin mod like on the desktop chips? like a FSB jump?

if so is this available on the other chip as well?

No, it requires soldering a connection of pin 7 (FS_C) to 3.3v (pin 12?) through a 10k resistor so it's enabled. Overclock mode must be enabled, if it's off it will go to 400mhz. Not sure if conductive pen works.

Best leave my method till last and have somebody else confirm that TME is still pin 14.

I wish their datasheet was more helpful than the ics one but thats all that they gave me.

A quick note: My system has been seemingly rock-solid in the factory OC mode for months but I now realize that a video corruption problem I attributed to HW Flash acceleration on Intel graphics (fixed when acceleration is disabled or switched to nVidia graphics) also goes away when I disable OC in the BIOS/CMOS setup.

Basically, I just want to point out that it might make sense to test flash video when testing your OC. It only did it on certain kinds of Flash video (usually ones with extra protections, like commercial VEVO music videos on YouTube or the TV episodes on SouthParkStudios.com). Here's a video showing the issue:

Note: At the time, I didn't realize that disabling OC was a third way to bypass the issue

1) You say once SetFSB clocked it up, you cannot clock down again without crashing. But speedstep does still work?

It only affects the FSB clock, the multipliers are fine.

I didn't know about these issues as I always used nVidia graphics (better battery life) I tried southparkstudios.com and can confirm that it has corruption on Intel graphics but didn't find anything wrong with VEVO music videos.

I think you should open a new thread for this, this affects everybody who has enabled Overclock mode.

What driver are you using? I'm using RigelKent's 260.99/2020 driverpack.

The flash thing is a problem with intel graphics. It was present on a friend's acer timeline which uses the same card and has a completely different cpu.

+rep. You have my respect my friend, excellent work!

At 2,07 Ghz do you see in real game (like Mafia 2 for example) a lot of difference versus the 1,73 overclock option?
Maybe in future bios Dell will put an easy way to archive this results

is this method strictly a hard mod? meaning you would boot up at this speed without needing to run setfsb or anything like that?

if so i would REALLY be intrested in that! as i said before i dont even have my m11x yet so idk what PLL i will end up having but i want to OC above 1.6ghz badly. and id rather this method over the first.

do you know what ratio is applied to the ram with this mod with overclock enabled/diabled in the bios? i think some of us maybe able to hit that 400mhz for a 2.4ghz OC as long as the voltage bumps up like nomal when OC is disabled in the bios and our ram can handle the ratio.

thanks so much for everyones hard work on this! this is simply awesome!

Hi Guys,

I've done the pinmod by disconnecting the TME pin with a thin needle. Unfortunately, my cpu wall is at ~300 mhz fsb Speedstep is deactivated and the overclocking mode is on.

As far as I know, bridging VID1-Vss and VID0-Vss would result in 1.0v vcore, right? Maybe I gonna try it this evening by solder them.
