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

[some guy]

@ DavyGT

im still a week away from my delivery date but if i receive a SLG PLL ill be more than happy to try some things out on mine to confirm your theories. i have a soldiering iron, multi meter and a steady hand!

also i ordered the HyperX 1333mhz Cas7 ram from newegg. im pretty sure its our best shot. plus it came bundled with a 4Gb flash drive. how could i pass that up!

as far as the FSLx mod, is this available on both PLLs?

the only reason im asking is that is actually the way id like to OC if possible. ive always preferred hard mods and bios OCing opposed to software OCing.

How can this be confirmed? Have there been other PLLs without a TME pin?

Yes, of course. Both PLLs can use the same FSLx mods since they have the same pinout. I'll be thinking of all the possible combinations and expected results with overclock mode considered.

You should consider doing the TME mod first if do get a ICS, just to find the limit.

We can confirm this either by getting older and newer versions of the datasheet to see if TME has been removed or added in and also a blind mod by disconnecting PIN 14.

I used a 1mm tip, a helping hand with magnifying glass and ready for lots of desoldering actions. Despite that, I was reaching for the pump more then I thought I would. But that's because I'm pretty new to soldering and someone with experience will think it's a piece of cake.
There was a component connected to the pin I was soldering, which could have made it easier to solder onto but I didn't know what to do with it so I just went straight to the pin. Yes I did bridge pins but I removed them and redid it until it was close, but not touching.

All that when the same result could be reached with a 1 minute pin cut.
Just wow.

A tip for any of those new to soldering.


If you pre-tin the lead you're going to solder onto the pin it should help. Also pretin the tip of your soldering iron/pin.


By pre-tin, I mean put a small glob of solder on the wire & let it harden. That way, you wont have to use as much solder when you go to solder the wire to the pin. Also try to pretin your soldering iron/pin tip. If you get really good at pre-tinning, you wont have to use any solder when you go to attach the wire to the pin, as it will already be stuck to the wire.

Vmod has been done successfully

I've read the datasheet (klick here) for the voltage regulator of the m11x and noticed that bridging vid1 and vid0 to vgss has no effect while in oc-mode(0.9v = 0110000) as they are already 0. Therefore, I did got for 1.1v as the binary presentation is 0100000. I bridged vid 4 and vid 3 and now got 1.1v in oc-mode Non-oc mode is now 1.0625. The temps are currently at 39°C and the fan does not kick in. Anyway, here a new screenshot with fsb 333:

Please keep in mind that changing your vcore results in more thermal energy! The m11x cooling system can only handle a certain amount of heat! I'll do more stability testing with the descrete graphic activated.

Nice work do you think you can help me out here

Could you guys point me in the right direction for a decent soldering gun for this job?

Any soldering gun will do this as long as the tip is fine enough.

thats so awesome!

can i ask which PLL you have and which method you are useing? TME/Fslx? OC mode enabled/ disabled?

Guys, any news on SLG8SP513V?

And i suggest making some kind of list of those who overclocked their cpu

oh i see, no way...
