PLL Pinmod Overclocking Methods and Examples

[FieroGT]

hey guys, and moral hazard,

i had msged u in email and u told me to check out this post. so here i am.

here is my laptop info:

Dell Inspiron 1525 Laptop with T7250 CPU (2ghz, 800mhz) ram @ 667
MODEL: 0U990C
CHIPSET: INTEL GM965 REV. C0
SOUTHBRIDGE: INTEL 82801HBM (ICH8-ME)
LPCIO: NS
BIOS: A13 (LATEST - 6-27-08)
PLL: ICS 9LPRS365BKL

---
i would like to go ahead and try this pll mod. any thoughts on the matter would be appreciated.

thanx!

hi FieroGT, welcome to NBR

Can you download setfsb from here:
http://www13.plala.or.jp/setfsb/

In setfsb select:
ICS9LPRS365BGLF

Then click on the "diagnosis" tab.
then click "getfsb".

Please post a screenshot of setfsb when you have done that.

Also can you try moving the top slider a bit and press "setfsb" and tell me what happens?


FYI, here is the datasheet for your PLL:

Well, i think you should hold litle bit and use SetFSB at start to see if you can oc your laptop with pll selected as ICS 9LPRS365BGLF since these plls are quite similar, if that would work then you would not need hard mod your pll.

OK, 1st i would like to say that i have previously DLed and tried setfsb with my laptop and it wouldn't work. i then emailed abo and asked him to add my pll, and gave him all my info. he then looked into it and replied to me with the bad news that my pll is 'locked', and cant be modded with any software. I'm guessing this locked mode that he talked about is the same thing u mention as TME enabled?..

ok, now to the work at hand... i went and ran the latest setfsb again as u suggested, and selected ICS9LPRS365BGLF as per above suggestion and it's very close to the pll i have. the good news is that it did come up with all the correct current bus speeds and stuff, so it seems to be reading the pll ok?. bad news is though, like abo said, any changes i attempted to make and apply simply did nothing at all.

Here is the screen cap:


I look forward to your replies!

@FieroGt
Your PLL is locked through TME. Offset 09h must be 25 instead of 65 to be able to overclock.

ok, thats what i thought.. so this means i am a candidate for the pll mod then?
and if so, would that mean that after i unlock my pll with the mod, that setfsb should work with my pll using that one that was real close? (ICS9LPRS365BGLF)

yes, and FYI when abo says locked he means TME is enabled.

yes.

Now can you please take a photo of your PLL so we can see if there is a resistor connected to the TME pin.

Your PLL is either like myne (where the TME pin is pin 4).
Or if it is the other shape (square), then your TME pin is pin 11.
just look at the datasheet I gave a link to, it shows everything.

sweet! I'm loving the quick replies!

i went and looked at the datasheet, and it says my TME is pin 4. (PCI2/TME)
so , what i gotta do next is tear this lappy apart once and take sum pix 4 ya, and go from there.
i'll get into that 2morrow, as its 3:17 am here now.

ok, I'm on this forum every day so take your time
