Hi, first post!

I read the stickies and a couple posts, and if I'm not mistaken, I see conflicting advice. Do the Exxx core 2 duo's have different types of BSEL mods?


Maybe you can help?

Which of the following images show the correct E7200 BSEL mod? One and two are off by one pin. And the third picture is covering solely one pin. Thank you!

One





Two






Three



I finally received all my components and bought a defogger kit from Kragen Auto, I'm ready to go once I get confirmation, thanks

My heads about to burst with all the reading I've done in the last 48 hours. I know I have no right to even think that someone would respond, but I would really appreciate if someone can help me get this system going.

Anyone?

If I'm not mistaken the 1st and 3rd is the same mod. One grounds the pin, the other insulates it. They both make it a 0. This is the BSEL mod I was looking to preform myself to force 1333 FSB.

Dunno what the 2nd one does.

here's a long read.

Looks like the 2nd is a 800 to 1066.

Edit: Guess you already read it. looks like the thread you pulled the 2nd image from.

Hey ひときり(hitokiri)

thanks for the reply man!

I think your post help clarified my head a little, just to hear someone confirm.

I also found this picture on a different site, and it confirms what you said.






I'm gonna try doing this mod this weekend on my 2 E7200's.

They are both on stock coolers on an ECS G33T-M2 Motherboard.

DO NOT DO THIS ONE...

the proper and EASIEST way to do a 266 to 333fsb mod on the e7200 is to isolate the BSEL pin that has the tape over it in this picture



Simply put a piece of tape covering the entire pad and it will make the default fsb to 333mhz. (the tape isolates the pad from the motherboard, making it seem as though that pad - BSEL2 - is an H or 1 value from the stock L or 0 value) Believe me here, i have done MULTIPLE pad mods on my e4300 and e7200, bsel and vid pad mods, last one i did envolved changing the value of 3 pins to lower the default voltage on my e4300 so it would run cooler in a mobo that does not support vcore adjustments... 2 of the pins i had to change were default of the LOW or 0 value like the BSEL2 pad is on 266fsb cpus... putting a piece of tape over them yeilded exactly what voltage the vid table in the intel white papers stated.

nd4spdbh2,

Hi I see you have experience with this, I had another question,
I heard that the tape could be unsafe because it could melt,

would nail polish be a better bet?

VERY appreciated, thank you!


Found the answer by doing more searches::

Answer was: If the tape melts, which it shouldn't on the backside of the CPU, the worst that will happen is that the contacts will short, and will render the overclock NULL, without damaging the CPU, returning to its original speed.

Finally gonna put this together tonight. THANK you

FAIL

I tried the tape & it said on Post

A 267Mhz system bus processor is installed. This processor is not supported on this system board, and will run at reduced processor clock speed. System performance will be imapcted.

Do you wish to continue to boot at 333Mhz system bus and reduced processor speed? (Y/N)

-edit:

Seems like other boards are doing this?? Bios Level Overclocking Prevention - that is so hay

[geneticfreak60e]

Forgive my ignorance but what is the point of this mod, Whu not just change the fsb in the bios? or is this a better way to do it
