Tech Overclock: X86 Pentium M 725 Dothan processor

Overclock: X86 Pentium M 725 Dothan processor

Is anyone familiar doing this? I have a Dell Inspiron 6000 with the 1.6 GHz Intel Pentium M 730 (Sonoma), 533MHz FSB and PCIe x16 chipset. I'm planning to swap it out with the 725@400 FSB and use the "pin" mod to overclock it from 1.6 to 2.13 GHz. Problem is I'm not too confident working with laptops. Can anyone run it through with me? Or better yet help me set it up?

like i said on the other forum, www.extremeoverclocking.com. the information is definitely there, as that's THE best forum for it.

hehe hi again! Yeah I double posted here just to get more replies. I'm combing over the forums there.

excellent. i figured i'd post it here too, in case others were interested. the overclocking forums are spectacular for information.

Here's the Pin Modding and Overclocking a Pentium M Guide. Post some pics if possible. BTW, the cheap speaker wire you find at the auto parts store works the best.

hehe I found that link too! Thanks though. hehe

anandtech? i dunno i am new to pentium ocing but i got my e6400 to 3.2ghz on air

This is strictly for my Dell Inspiron 6000.

i thought dell locked out oc abilities on all their computers?

do you have a factory warranty left? because if you do id wait till thats done with till u open up your lappy

EDIT: the pin mod can be dangerous as you can seriously screw your stuff up.

No, Dell's are still all capable of ocing. My warranty was over years ago so I'm ready to dissect this thing. hehe Yeah, I'm going to be really careful and take my time at each step.

=] if possible, try to find a diy with pictures. it helped me while doing pin mods on mobos

Yeah I found a tutorial with pictures and step by step instructions.

=] good luck! dont forget those anti-static things

youre going to overclock a laptop? you are a brave man. Mine would probally overheat if I attempted to overclock it.

I'm going to use Arctic Silver 5 thermal paint to reduce the temperature. It only runs a scant 2 degrees C higher than the 45 degrees of the stock processor.
