affects overclocking potential[/B][SPOILER]Over clocking methods 1 and 3 below boot
your system and set your northbridge, chipse t and CPU internally to *believe* they
will be receiving 200Mhz timings. They j ust are being sent faster signals from the
PLL instead (266Mhz in method 3's cas e!!). This could present a problem with your
RAM. DDR2-667 RAM will now be recei ving timing signals for 266Mhz/887Mhz
operation, yet still be using the SPD tabl e for 667Mhz operation. In which case, I
hope you've got good ram to test, or ca n use <a
href="http://www.softpedia.com/get/Tweak/Memory-Tweak/Thaiphoon-Burner. shtml"
target="_blank">Thaiphoon Burner</a> or <a href="http://www.techpowerup.c
om/spdtool/" target="_blank">SPDTool</a> to slow down *at least* the CAS timing in
your RAM's eeprom SPD table by increasing it's value. I believe it's CAS=6 fo r
800Mhz operation. For example if you have 800mhz DDR2 ram with an SPD like this:
[IMG]http://i896.photobucket.com/albums/ac167/moral_HaZaRd/800mhzddr2spd.jpg[/IM G]
If you want to run it at 333mhz with a CAS of 6, open SPDtool, File > Read > Mod
ule X, then change "CAS Latencies Supported" from "4, 5, 6" to "6". Then just fi x
the checksum (under the Edit menu) and write the SPD. Make sure you save a cop y of
the original SPD in case you make a mistake.
[IMG]http://i896.photobucket.com/albums/ac167/moral_HaZaRd/cas.jpg[/IMG] It's a
good idea to try both thaiphoon burner and SPDtool, I don't think thaipho on burner
works well with 64-bit operating systems. And SPDtool may have problem s with DDR3
ram. I have attached an older trial version of thaiphoon burner that has full
functionality (does let you write the SPD). The latest trial version d oes not let
you write the SPD, so I suggest using the latest trial version to mo dify the SPD
and then use the old trial version to write the SPD. Unless you wan t to purchase
thaiphoon burner. [/SPOILER][*]<b>Method 1: TME-unlock a PLL to allow software
overclocking</b>[SP OILER]<a href="http://www13.plala.or.jp/setfsb/"
target="_blank">setfsb homepage </a> informs us that a PLL ICS9LPR501HGLF is
supported. So if the TME is disable
d by setting PCI2/TME pin4 logic to 0 (GND), then setfsb can all software overcl
ocking. Only problem here is *IF* your system uses the PCI2 signal after boot, i n
which case it won't work. I used setfsb setting ICS9LPRS355 PLL register 02, b it
2=0 to disable PCI2 output (enabled by default), and my system worked fine af
terwards. This hardware TME-disabling hardware mod can be easily reversed: 1. lift
right side of the resistor leading from pin4 (blue) as shown in above pi cture
using a soldering iron. Right side has more room and is easier if your rig ht
handed. Then can use the lifted resistor leg to attach a GND wire to. Try to
minimise soldering iron contact with your multi-layered systemboard as much as i s
conveniently possible. 2. Connect lifted resistor leg to a (logic 0) GND, found by
continuity testing p oints against the system chassis. 3. Put some insulation tape
below the lifted resistor end so it won't short the board if pressed down. 4. Test
to see if it boots up. If not, reverse process and try method 2 or 3.[/S POILER]

Chipset using FSB=800Mhz. DDR2-800 RAM. - In my particular case I had a TME on my
PLL enabled, which was disallowing ove rclocking of the PLL. [B]Requirements for

datasheet for it. - Setfsb overclocking software. It's Diagnosis window useful to
also read/write to the registers of the PLL. [B]Problem with setfsb[/B] First
problem was setfsb didn't have an exact match for my system's PLL ICS9LPR5
01[COLOR="Red"][B]S[/B][/COLOR]GLF PLL. So the closely matched ICS9LPR501[COLOR=
"Red"][B]H[/B][/COLOR]GLF was used instead. I press getfsb which does read the r
ight frequency. Then I move the slider (top slider) a little bit and then press
setfsb. The HDD lights up, I can move the mouse but not interact with anything.
Then a few seconds later I get the BSOD and then the laptop restarts. This happe ns
even if I don't move the slider, just press getfsb then setfsb. This also ha ppens
when I "Select source for SATA clock" to be "Sata = PLL2" That is, change bit 1 of
byte 0 to 1. Which is what setfsb tries to change, among other things, but this is
where it goes wrong. So the reasons setfsb didn't work for me are: 1. My TME strap
status (read only) reads 1 = no overclocking. 2. System would lock up due to
setfsb's ICS9LPR501HGLF overclock changing the SA TA clock from PLL main to PLL2
[B] Hardware mod to disable TME mode [/B] I proceeded to use method 1 in Nando4's
guide, requiring hardware modification t o overcome the TME mode. The method being
preferred to method 2 as - pin4 TME/PCI pin was easier to pinmod than pin57 FSLb
pin - setfsb allows 1Mhz overclocking increments whereas method 2 is less probable
3 3/66Mhz overclocking This also required Abo to supply a new setfsb for my
ICS9LPR501SGLF to correct t he SATA clk issue.
Here are photos of my PLL: [URL="http://s896.photobucket.com/albums/ac167/moral
_HaZaRd/different%20lighting/"]before[/URL] | [URL="http://s896.photobucket.com/
albums/ac167/moral_HaZaRd/tme/"]after[/URL] and after the modification. Basically
as you can see from the photo I found that next to the resistor there was a GND pad
and a pad that was connected to the TME pin (pin 4). I found this by using a
multimeter. I tested points on the motherboard with the system chassi s to find
GND. I tested points on the motherboard with the pin 4 (TME pin) to f ind the
second pad. So I removed the resistor and put it into the new position. I did some
tests wit h a DMM to check my work and then closed the laptop back up. I started
the lapto p and it s working perfectly, the best part is that now TME = 0,
confirmed by read ing the TME_READBACK register 9 bit 6 being 0. I used setfsb to
increase the fsb a little, and I took a picture of my screen wi th a camera since
setfsb causes my laptop to freeze. After the laptop restarted I then manually
copied the register values that I saw in my camera to setfsb, ex cept I did not
change the source for the SATA clock. So bit 1 of byte 0 is 0. Th en when I pressed
apply it worked without freezing my notebook. [URL="http://s89

enshot. [B]Overclocking after TME pinmod was applied [/B] I sent an email to Abo
(creator of setfsb) and provided this info to him. He the n gave me a test version
that adding ICS9LPR501SGLF PLL support. The only differ ence now with setfsb
between ICS9LPR501HGLF and ICS9LPR501SGLF is that the bit t hat is used to select
the source for the SATA clock is unchanged in SGLF. Now using setfsb I was able to
overclock my FSB to over 250mhz, my CPU frequency went from 2ghz to over 2.5ghz and
is stable without and modifications to ram ti mings. This is lucky on my part. The
RAM must be quite tolerant to run using the 333Mhz SPDTable timings and still work.
It has been recommended that at the ver y least the primary RAM timing, CAS, be
increased to ensure stability and allow me to overcome any RAM timing wall with
overclocking. This would be done using [

[*]<b>Method 2: FSLx mod to hardwire PLL for higher FSB</b>[SPOILER]Her e we set
different BSEL and FSLx signals as a workaround to prevent CPU being lo cked to the

CPU BSEL and PLL FSLx signals c an be set separately 2. set FSLb=0 by connecting to
GND, eg: pin58. This would be most easiest if there is a resistor leading off the
Pin57 track. W hat I can see is it looks as if it goes to a through hole, which
disappears some where. If my observation is correct, you'd either need to follow
that through ho le and see if it leads to a resistor, or otherwise use a blade to
disconnect the PLL's pin57 from the board and then connect it to pin58 (GND),
putting some ins ulation tape below Pin57 so it doesn't make contact with it's

[/COLOR] [B]1. What are the pros and cons of software versus hardware FSB
overclocking?[/ B][SPOILER]Obvious advantage of using setfsb is it gives
overclocking ability in increments of 1Mhz, so it's far easier to find system
limits than when dealing in 33/66Mhz increments if modding the PLL's FSLx signals
using method 2 or 3 bel ow. Though hardware overclocking presents these advantages:
1. software overclocking using setfsb requires a rerun when come out of hibernat
e/standby 2. Linux overclocking with setfsb requires a boot into Win, a setfsb run,
then a warm boot into Linux. 3. RAM timings still believe they are working at the
lower FSB so the RAM SPD_ta ble may need slower timings 4. X3100 Core Render clock
is FSB dependant, reflected by sampled BSEL signals a s shown <a
href="http://forum.notebookreview.com/showthread.php?p=4907993" targe
t="_blank">here</a>. Hardwiring the PLL for faster FSB can overcome (1) and (2). If
the chipset suppo rts the higher FSB speed (eg: 533->800Mhz FSB overclock by Santa
Rosa), then exp erimental method 3 above can overcome (3) and (4) whilst preventing
multiplier l ock-out. Though CPU would need to be very tolerant in such a higher

[I]I called intel at 1-916-377-7000 I talked to Tom from Level 5 tech su pport he
assured me that the intel 965m can support the new cpu however GATEWAY and only
gateway can make that happen if they provide bios support for the qx930 0 mobile
quad cpu[/I][/INDENT] [QX9300 is a series-4 1066Mhz FSB quad-core CPU]. [B]3.
Clocking the FSB at 1066Mhz on Santa Rosa platform [/B] If the T9400/T9600 boots
up, then the mobo will downclock the CPU since the only valid BSEL settings a PM965
chipset has is 133/200Mhz. A PM45 has 200/266Mhz BS EL settings, so it would set it
at 200Mhz FSB, BSEL2/1/0 being L/H/L. Can apply methods 0-3 above to increase from
800Mhz to 1066Mhz FSB on a Santa Rosa platfor m using setfsb and/or pinmods, or
both if it's a TME-locked PLL. <table><tbody><tr><td><img height=230

comparison between the PM45 chipset that does suppo rt 1066Mhz FSB and the PM965
chipset that doesn't officially support 1066Mhz FSB (max=800Mhz). Anyone trying
this mod is in a sense hopeful that the MCHBar func tionality still exists if
trying the PM45's BSEL selection on a PM965 system. The potential application here
is two fold: 1. to attempt to pinmod a 1066Mhz CPU to function on a Santa Rosa
800Mhz platfor m. A 1066Mhz CPU has a BSEL signal H/L/H - 200Mhz mode that is the
the same as the Santa Rosa 800Mhz FSB platform. So if the CPU was installed, it
should theor etically work, so long as the pinouts are compatible. The idea here
being to set acceptable BSEL2/BSEL1/BSEL0 CPU signals so it doesn' t apply
multiplier locking, whilst sending a different set of BSEL signals to th en rest of
the system (CPU/PLL/Northbridge) to support a higher FSB operation. H ow to do
this? CPU datasheet advises that BSEL2/1/0 are output pins so suggest: 1. isolate
the BSEL1 CPU pin from the circuit. 2. run a logic 1 (3.3V) signal to BSEL1 . Test
if this is necessary as it's supp osedly an output pin. 3. connect a 0 (GND) signal
to PLL FSLb pin. Test if this is necessary as someti mes a disconnect is the same
as a 0. Explanation: (2) makes the CPU believe its running in 200Mhz (800Mhz FSB)
mode so it doesn't apply multiplier clamping. (1) then hardwiring the output of
BSEL 1 logic as seen by any other chips (eg: PLL, northbridge, GM965) to operate in
P M45's 266Mhz mode (1066Mhz FSB). [B]Precedents for success? [/B]

[INDENT][I]I was talking wit h a bloke from a local PC repair shop and I watched
him fit a T9600 processor in to a Dell laptop running the PM965 Santa Rosa platform
which is only 800MHz. The processor was fully compatiable which shocked me and I
watched the machine boot up after the installation was complete. But what I want to
know is are you goin g to get the full gain using a 1066 FSB when the chipset
apparently doesnt suppo rt it. I have read on other forums that the PM965 refresh
chipset is a freak som e claim that it will support 8gb of ram and others claim 6gb
of ram. Would the m obo downclock the CPU to 800 FSB or has anyone tested this
upgrade and can prove that the chipset will run at 1066MHz ?? I am interested to
find out.[/I][/INDEN T] Pls report your results.[/SPOILER][COLOR=BLUE][SIZE=3]
