Gonna try the Pin-Mod on my 1900+Pally??

[SilverSurfer]

Hi! All :)

I want to give the pin mod a try with my Palamino 1900XP(stock 1600MHz @12x) and from the 1.2 pin-mod version guide HERE (http://www.ocinside.de/index_e.html) and from my understanding, then to go from my stock 1900 to a 2100xp by upping the multiplier to 13 then I need to make this http://upl.mine.nu/uplfolders/upload5/1900PinMod_to_a_2100.gif alteration. Does this look about right to you guys?

My first time trying this kind of hardware mod...I know its probably amature compared to most of the stuff alot of you do but I gotta start somewhere!

BTW will this really work??

Thanks for any input on this matter :)

STOP
If you think the picture your looking at is how the socket should look you willl instantly kill your processor and motherboard. You have the CPU View, this is the view you need if you will be wraping the wires around the pins of the procesor with the pins up in the air facing you. I doubt you will be doing this because it is so hard. A better solution to is to place the wires in the socket, then place the processor in the socket. To change the view, there is a menu on that page in the far left. You need to change it to read "Socket view". That will produce the correct results. "PCB view" is something else and you shouldn't look at it.

Thanks for the heads up man...I was thinking of trying to wrap the wire around the pins but I like the idea you just stated about placing the wire in the socket holes themselves.

So if I am looking down at the MB cpu socket I should just place 9 little upside down "U" shaped pieces of single strand IDE stripped wire in the holes as in this picture http://upl.mine.nu/uplfolders/upload5/1900PinMod_to_2100_socket_view.gif .....Correct???

Can I fry my gfx card if something goes wrong here...If so I think I'll pass???

Thanks again :)

Doesn't the CPU need to be unlocked for the pin mod to work? The way I understand it, the pin mod changes the default FID signal that the board gets from the processor. If the board does not support changing of the multi, this is quite useful. The board then sends te signal back to the board through the BP_FID pins. If the L1s are closed, the CPU recieves the new signal and changes to that instead of its default as set by the L3s. You may have to close your L1s.

I could, however, be incorrect. Does the pinmod instead pull the L3s to different levels so that the chip sees a new default?

You can use the pin mod to unlock it, or just change the multiplier if it is locked, unless its a new barton or thoroughbred. The pin configuration is like changing the default multiplier.

Ah, my mistake then.

This picture is correct. I dont know exactly but I had my ATX connecter almost burn (severly black and chared), but the video card worked after that. I personally doubt your video card could get hurt, the northbridge should absorbe the death pluse of electricity.
