I sincerely appologize for the amount of crap that I am about to post on this thread!!!
I recently bought a Compaq Presario 4112 from a garage sale for $10 dollars and decided that this could be a computer that I can learn from. Anyways, I've been making mods and cutting out drive bays and stuff, installing fans and so on. I've been reading up on modding and overclocking and found out that voltage modding is the best way to get stable overclocks.
I tried reading up on the threads, but most of them speak only of high end gear, which is not my Comcrap... errrr... i mean Compaq. It has an intel PCI chipset, with the original intel pentium (original and ancient) cpu that runs at 3.4 v std and 3.5 vre core (which I still am not too clear on what that means) and a 3.4 I/O. I was able to get a semi-stable overclock out of my 120 mHz cpu to 133 mhz at 66 x 3. How can I adjust the voltage? Is that possible on my mobo? I know that the high end gear can do jumper and jumperless settings, but I doubt that is possible on my ancient socket 7 mobo.
Also, I have an Intel MMX cpu that somewhat runs but crashes at certain points, since it seems that it only needs 2.8v core. Anyways, is there anything I can do? Please help me. I am so new to this and I want to learn.
Since I am on a rant, I want to ask if it is possible to get a 75 mHz frequency on my mobo and even a 3.5 to 3 clock multi?? I only have up to 66 mhz and 3 time multi. Is there anything (somewhat simple) I can do to enhance this?
Also, the mobo is equiped with 2 ram slots and two empty 'slots' on the board. Why in the hell would compaq cut out two slots and not put anything in it???? anyways, I have considered extracting two slots from some old mobos i have and solder it in to the 'new' mobo. Is this possible? safe? it's already running at 72 mHz anyways. All the circuitry seems to be there... :S
Anyways, I hope someone out there can help me. Any and all help will be much appreciated. please feel free to impart your wisdom into me. thanks
I am such a noob!!! I feel like punching myself. LOL!!!!
Thanks...
