How do I get to 1333 with e2200

[mrchan]

BSEL and volt mod got it up to 1066 easy.

Tried this mod: http://inlinethumb42.webshots....3660723S600x600Q85.jpg

to try to get it to 1333, but the computer boots right up at 1066. Thinking the electrical tape to cover the blue pin was too thin, I put another layer on, still 1066.

if it refused to post I would at least know the mod worked and the chip probably just wasn't capable of 1333, but i at least want to give it a shot...

any ideas on what might have gone wrong?

oh, and it was the $80 fry's combo with ecs 945gct... yes i know, i could get a nicer motherboard, but what's the fun in that. i've got a zerotherm nv120 heatsink, doesn't get above 40 degrees on full load.

I'm not sure covering the pin indicated in blue would do anything. I've done the 1333 BSEL mod on an 800MHz chip. Imagine if the following numbers corresponded to the pads on your CPU, with 6 being the one indicated in blue and with 2 connected to 5 as indicated by the red line.

1
2
3
4
5
6

You have to connect 1 to 6 in addition to your red line of 2 to 5.

BTW, a buddy of mine got that motherboard (Fry's combo with E4500) and we tested it with a true 1333FSB chip, an E6550. It detected the CPU properly and ran it at the proper speed, but the PCI-E 16x slot became non-functional for the card we tried (7600GT). The 945GC chipset will work at 1333FSB only if the PCI-E bus is raised to 115MHz.

You're running at 2.93GHz right now, right? IIRC the E2200 has an 11x multiplier. At FSB 1333 the chip will be running around 3.66GHz, which it is unlikely to do. Indeed even if it could do that speed, it will need more voltage. The ECS board does not allow you to raise Vcore, so you'd have to do a Vcore mod as well.

Good luck.

I saw that double line mod as well, guess I may give that a shot.....

I did the vcore mod to 1.55, bios and cpuz show 1.42.

I hadn't though about the pcie bus though... think my msi 8800 gt oc would handle that?
