P4-M

I have a 1.6 P4-M pulled out of a sony vaio. what the best/cheapest overclocking board this cpu can fit? thanks

ok no replies first time so here goes again. i got an abit AI7 and wondering what vcore i should set my p4-m 1.6. i currently have it at 2.4ghz with 1.7vcore. what a good vcore that won't kill this cpu within the next 2-3 years.

Probably a vcore less than 1.6

The P4 M CPUs don't really need much Vcore. You should be able to get about 2.7GHz on 1.65V.

Are the Pentium-Ms socket compatible with P4s?

1.7 Volts is kinda high even for a regular Pentium 4, don't the Penium-M's have an even lower spec for voltage?

the latest P4-Ms i know for a fact aren't, thats probably a first generation P4 with the old socket.

Teh Pentium 4M and Pentium M are two totally different CPUs. Pentium 4 Ms work in a lot of desktop boards (although sometimes require modifications). 845 and 848 chipset mobos tend to be most compatible.

i've taken apart a few Dell P4-Ms,newer ones,it uses a smaller socket than the desktops.

It's hard to fathom something that small. Can you post a both of those processors next to each other?

i don't do much dealing with Penitums, i guess it just looks smaller without the heat spreader. heres lots of info about the mobiles side by side with desktop cpus:

then again maybe i'm wrong about being wrong the laptops i've opened were the latest 3ghz flavors. it might have changed.

edit: incase you have a hard time "fathoming" something smaller,heres what the old P3 mobiles looked like

Here's a very nice little P4-M article by one of our very one forum members.

No sense guessing about these special CPUs, just read this and you'll know what's up.

well i primed for 10hrs stable. 47c max at 2.7ghz running 1:1 225, with my corsair xms pc2700 that i bought a year ago. this is an awesome chip. thanks for that article ralfhutter
by the way i'm running vcore at1.625 and dimm at 2.8
