So how many of you have pin-modded your laptops?

How many of you have pin-modded your laptops to get an overclock?

I dont need to do it, but was just wondering how hard it was?

How are you supposed to keep the heat down inside the lappy? Not like you can throw in an Ultra-120.

I heard you could pin-mod the Pentium M to get higher clocks, but I'd never try it myself. I know there were threads upon threads on the subject at Notebookforums.com a last year.

Hmm, can't seem to find any threads or guides about pin-modding a Yonah.

I'd love to do this if I could find someone else who has done it. I just dont see how you would do this without your laptop catching fire.

They changed the pin configuration with Yonah (Napa - 945 platform) and again on the 965 platform (Santa Rosa). I doubt people want to experiment since the Yonah processors are fast enough.

And IIRC, the pin-modding was done using Banias processors in place of the Dothan processors that a laptop might have come with, to get a fast, cheap upgrade since they were equally fast at similar clock speeds.
