Overclocking acer laptop

[naton]

I overclocked my laptop with an X3100 and my 3dmark05 score more than doubled. In real life I get only a few more frames by overclocking my FSB from 200mhz to 245mhz.

So did you try every PLL in setfsb?

Also check the thread in my sig, it may help.

What did you use to OC the X3100?

EDIT:
Through the HW PLL MOD? I mean is it by increasing the FSB of the whole system?

What did you use to OC the X3100?

It's not possible to OC the X3100. The GMABooster guy gave up trying to change the core render clock speeds for those systems who are not running 500Mhz. Can see some details of that here.

So then, the only way to "overclock X3100 graphics" is a FSB overclock by increasing the PLL frequency via pinmod and/or setfsb.

Likely the 72PIN ICS PLL pinout is the same as that of a ICS954305EKLF PLL here. That PLL is not software programmable. Couuld still change the FSLx pins to overclock it but you'd need to reprogram the SPDTable of the RAM to accept the faster timings.

I suggest checking the pins which are shown as GND in the datasheet to make sure the pinout is the same.

My 72-pin PLL is software programmable, don't know if that means anything.

interesting link.
I thought the guy who developped gmabooster did not make a version for the X3100 and the X4500 because of lack of funding and time.

once again intel

72-pin PLL datasheet found, here:
M11x clock generator ICS9LPRS387BKLF

wow... i forgot to log in for a while and missed quite a lot :P
you guys are awesome! i went and bought a 10k resistor today and will attempt to pinmod the tme tomorrow and see if setfsb works after that...

i'll keep ya updated on wether it works or not.

[bogdi1988]

so... i added a resistor from pin 14 to a ground pin (usb ground). now... when i run setfsb and i select the ics 365 one, i can read the fsb, and when i press set, even it if is for a 1mhz increase, the screen goes black... i guess that setfsb makes some illegal settings?

[moral hazard]

Yeah, you have to troubleshoot it.
Manually change the registers in setfsb.

[bogdi1988]

Can't do that anymore. tried to. Pin mod it to 333 fsb and I think I fried the board.

[moral hazard]

leave the CMOS battery out for a while.

Maybe re-seat some stuff...
