Is there a list of P-m's and how well they pinmodd?

[SpeedZealot369]

Hey guys I just got a inspiron 6000 with a 1.6ghz and was looking for a pinmodd chip. I looked through ebay and I'd like to know if there's a list that shows which steppings are good and which I should stay away from.

thanks

You'll need to get a 400mhz FSB chip to be able to do the pin mod. The pin mod will bump the 400mhz FSB chip to 533mhz FSB. I have a 725 for example, it's 1.6ghz by default, but runs at 2.13ghz with the 533mhz FSB. I didn't actualy pin mod mine, since I"m using it with an Asus CT-479 adaptor on a desktop board. Make sure you get a dothan or banias core(dothan being better). Yonah cores aren't backwards compatible. Not sure of any particular steppings that are better than others.

Well that's what this whole thread is about, I'd like to know which steppings would most likely not give me any trouble.

I'm not sure if there is a list of steppings.

I've done it to a 1.5->2.0 mod and a 1.8->2.4 mod (both Dothans). The 1.5 modded to 2.0 no problem, Prime95 stable. The 1.8 modded to 2.4 with a little more trouble, since it wasn't Prime95 stable at stock voltages. Another simple pin mod let me boost the voltage to 1.5V versus the original 1.38V. Keep in mind I did this with the CT-479 as well rather than on a laptop.

I just pin modded a 735 (17x100) to 2.26 (17x133) on a Dell B130 last week. Stepping was an odd one not listed yet on Intel or CPU World. IIRC it was SL8BA or SL8AB.

Cool, I'll stay away from 1.8 chips then. Hopefully a 1.6 or 1.7 won't need the extra voltage.

My 1.6 is good to 2.4ghz on stock voltage.

Wait the 1.6 goes to 2.4? I thought the 1.6 goes to 2.1?

Depends on what chip. 1.6/533 does 2.4/200 (desktop). 1.6/400 does 2.133/533 (laptop).

Pin modding will take it to 2.13, I'm using clockgen to go higher.
