Do a search, their are some excellent BSEL threads, some with photo links.Originally posted by: quadomatic
What is a BSEL Mod, and how do I do one?

I'm still unsure whether or not a BSEL mod can be done on an E2180. Can someone link me to a thread that explains how to do a BSEL mod?

ECS makes a few decent boards but you should stay away from those Fry's throw-away boards if you intend to overclock. These boards will run okay at stock speed, but they don't like to work at the higher speed in the long run...even with the pin mod.

What? As long as the board/chipset was designed to run at the higher, pin modded speed, then they should last as long as any other board. If the board/chipset doesn't officially support the higher FSB, then it will just ignore the pin mod.
I've had reasonable success overclocking socket 754 and socket 939 ECS Nvidia chipset boards BITD. And yes, some were long-term overclocks as well.
