How to perform Socket 479 (M) Hard-Mod from 533 to 667 FSB?

[homestarmy]

I have a laptop that runs a Core Duo T2050 @ 1.6 GHz.

I haven't been able to find a way to overclock it with software, but was advised by member 'dexvx' that it could be hardmodded from 533 to 667 FSB. FYI, my laptop is full Intel Centrino (all Intel Chipset(s)).

The issue here is that if I hardmod to get 2.0GHz, there is no guarantee that it will run that at stock voltage (but I bet it will).

I am thinking if I get a s479 board, I can test OC'ing the chip to 2.0GHz by FSB, and if it will do it at stock voltage, then I can do the hard mod, and stick it back in my laptop, correct?

And how can I perform this hard mod?

May want to check over at notebookforums -

From my experience on PentiumM, the 1.6 should do 2.0 withouth o vMod.

The only issue is what pins have to be jumpered to get the processor to run at 667/2.0?

Right. Maybe I'll check with them if no one has info here.

In this case it's acutally a Core Duo. I doubt it will need a change in voltage, but I just want to make sure that it will handle it before hard modding the chip.

And you say 'jumpering' pins. How do you mean exactly?

Jumpering pins - AKA pinmod for PentiumM processors to change the FSB from 400 to 533.

Remove cpu, add tiny wire to jumper 2 pins, put cpu back in.

Works great on PentiumM processors that are 400FSB - check my sig - PentiumM 1.8 running at 2.4 - nice

I see, thanks. I slightly misread your first post.

So when you add the tiny wire, is it soldered or...? Did you find a walkthrough over at notebookforums?

I'm going to go check it now, thanks!

Hey, should I post right in the Toshiba forum, or is there one that I should post in specifically about OC'ing. The question should be for any laptop running this type of chip...

 

[LouPoir]

No soldering - you use a tiny piece of wire -

Check the Dell Forums at Notebookforums on Pinmodding

Core Duo uses an entirely different socket electrically from Pentium M. You'll probably fry your chip and/or motherboard attempting a pin mod meant for a Pentium M.

Also, with a pin mod, you'd be going from 667 mhz to 800 mhz fsb. The processor may be able to handle it, but the ram and mobile chipset probably can't take the increase.

Anyways, people have been trying to u-wire pins B22 and C21, but I don't think anyone's been successful.

But my chip is 533, so I'd go to 667.
