Has anybody tried this mod yet. I just setup my chilled water cooling so I'm thinking about trying it tomorrow. I will post the results. I might have to put the 1.8a back in the P4T-E and shoot for 2.7.:D
 
:mad: I ruined my board.:mad: The resistor got too hot and fell off. Oh well I guess I'm rolling the P4S333 until I get the money for a new board. I'll probably get the P4T-533.

What resistor did you lose? You might be able to solder another back on and get it working again.

The one that your supposed to solder the trimpot to.
 
If your soldering a potentiometer on why do you even need the smd resistor? Cant you just solder on the potentiometer without the resistor? Without the resistor you need a little more resistance but the pot should be fine with that.
 
Ok I soldered the pot on. It seems to be working though. Thanks for the motivation Bender.:D What ever the core voltage is via pin mod is what the core voltage has to be. The volt mod isnt working but the board is.:D Its weird though even in jumper free mode I cant change the voltage. I'm just glad I can use the board until I can buy another.:D
 
Yeah I was suppose to be able to go to 2.13v. But atleast it works.:D Thanks again.

The link that Big Nuttz gave doesn't work anymore... So what was "this"voltmod then? Does anyone here know where I can still find it? Thanks in the advance.
 
Given the (from what I've read in the past) many
hardware similarities between the P4T-E and the
P4T533-C, maybe that same mod might work on the
P4T-E too? Can you please give me the link, so that I can
check that out? :) By the way, until now, I found two
voltmods for the P4T-E that can or should be used
simultaneously, to get the best results. The one is
modding the mobo (changing resistors and so on), the
other is modding the CPU (wire trick). The highest voltage
that can be reached then is 2.21 Volt. Does anybody here
on this forum know a way of reaching even higher
voltages? Oh, and rather off topic, but which CPU can I
choose best for overclocking and then getting the best
over-all system performance? A 3.2 GHz 533FSB 256Kb
Celeron or a 2.8 533FSB 1MB Pentium 4? Yes, I know, the
P4T-E is a 400FSB mobo, but from what I've read
elsewhere, it's possible with certain tricks to run 533FSB
processors on it. Thanks in the advance, for any answer
that can help me (and others here) out with this.
 
Woah... Oh my goodness, which language is that? Lol. I
guess I have to do quite some serious Bablefish work on
that page! But thanks very much, Nuttz. I'll try and see
how far I will get with it. I'll post my progress here.
But I guess that'll gonna take me a while. :D
 
Hummm... At first sight the P4T533 mobo resembles
the P4T-E mobo very much. I still have to take a closer
look at the circuits of my P4T-E mobos though, to see if
I can find the same ones on it as the ones on the
P4T533, on which the mods were done. I WILL do that
though, soon. In the meantime: if somebody else would
like to take a look at some pictures of both the P4T-E and
P4T533 mobos and compare the circuits and parts; here
you can find some nice and clear ones:

The best cpu chip for OC in the P4T-E was the 400fsb 2.4GHz Northwood, because you set the clock to run at 133, which gives a 533 quad-pumped FSB and the pci and agp busses run at the correct 33 and 66 speeds. I ran one for over a year at 3.2GHz, only had to do the pin wire mod trick on the cpu to get the volts up to 1.70 (see http://www.hexus.co.uk/content/reviews/review.php?dXJsX3Jldmlld19JRD0yNzg= ) and keep it cool with an SP-94.

Lightning strike near my home took out the P4T-E a few weeks ago and I built the machine in my sig as a replacement using all the old parts except mobo and memory.
 
Isn't the 2.8GHz/400FSB a better one? If
you run that one at 133/533FSB, it would be running at
3.7GHz, right? Or am I mistaking here? My condoleances
for that your P4T-E died, by the way. ;)
