PLL Pinmod Overclocking Methods and Examples

Here it is. Thanks!

Well looks like TME mode is enabled, you need a pinmod to disable it.
See the examples in the table on the first page of this thread.

You have a second problem, you need to find what bit setfsb is changing to cause the system to hang.
Try changing bit 2 of byte 0 (my guess). Does the system hang when you do that?

Thanks for the reply, I hope I did it as you told me.
I changed from PLL Control Reg... upper row 02 which indicated FC and changed the Bin's input to 11111000. Then updated and applied. PLL Control Reg... 02 changed to F8 now.
But as soon as I hit the set FSB button. Same thing happens. The screen goes black but the hard drive starts reading more than usual, nonstop, until I just hold the power button.

No, I wanted you to change the top left byte (value = 03) to 07.

But it was just a guess. Anyway, if that causes the system to lockup, it might be the problem.

Ok, did that and yes, screen freezes.

Well I guess the first step is to do the pinmod.

Then send an email to abo and ask him to make sure setfsb doesn't change that bit. He will probably want a donation.

Ok, thanks for your time.

Abo not bothered with any request unless you give 'donation'. Go figure...

Back on topic, after playing around I get a good stable clock of 2.65GHz (enormous 650MHz overclock) and memory clock of 700MHz (1.4GHz effective). Everything runs great but in games it felt like everything is accelerated, the speeches especially don't have fullstops. I don't mean it sound like chipmunk but the next speeches come before the previous guy finished talking. Any ideas why did this happen? The IDT guy say the other clock (PCI, USB) is independent of the CPU clock so nothing else is overclocked

[moral hazard]

Not sure about that.

I read somewhere that when you overclock a PS2 that happens because the timing of the game is linked to the FPS (not sure if this is true).

I have never heard of it happening on a PC.

Maybe the windows timer is off, dowload this and check:
XtremeSystems Forums - View Single Post - ThrottleStop - Performance Adjustment Tool for Core 2 / Core i CPUs

My friend burebista discovered something interesting when testing with SetFSB. The internal Windows timers that some benchmark programs use can get screwed up when you start overclocking...Here's a testing program I wrote to make sure the timers in your computer are running at the same speed when overclocking. If your internal timers get out of whack, some benchmark programs won't be reliable. The long term timer ratio reported by this program should be 1.0000

My ratio is 1 so I'm lucky.

Thanks for the info. Never heard of such problem before. My ratio raises up to 1.3 so that explains it. Don't bother me that much, framerate don't increase much but since its accelerated games feels faster so its a bit advantages in some way
