will this work on my pentium d and make it 1066??

I tried it a couple of months ago on a PD, and it didn't work. And if it did work, D 950 has 17x multi? That would give you 4.5GHz, which wouldn't be stable without a lot of voltage and very good cooling.

Whats he limit on pentium d for voltage and i have a water cooling setup

hello , i have a DG31PR Mobo , E2180 and i have successfully done the 1066 mod , however when doing the 1333 mod , it boots up but restarts and is so unstable that it restarts and then no display , then after some time you can boot it up again , have also done the vid mod and it also boots up but windows won't start and it restarts and then hangs .

So my question is , is it the problem with power supply or cooling , because the vid that i see for 1066 mod is 1.2V in both bios and cpu-z . It can be cooling also because i am using the stock fan.

Wow! Really nice guide man

Um...VERY strange problem with this mod. I just installed a new CPU cooler (see specs, it's the Xigmatek), applied a new, very thin layer of Arctic Silver 5 when I did so. And suddenly, I've LOST my BSEL mod! My processor went back down to 1066 from a solid 1333. What in the blue hell could possibly have caused this?

Sounds strange, all I can think of is that the fitting of the new cooler might have broken the connection between the pins somehow. Try taking out the CPU and re-doing the connection.

How bizarre. I removed the cooler and took out the CPU, and found that a tiny glob of the Arctic Silver had leaked down onto one of the pins, which must have somehow disrupted my mod. I did not anticipate how goopy that stuff was going to be.

I breathed some new life into a buddy of mine's dell e520. got him an 8800gt, e4700 and another 2gigs of ram to go along with his 1. It's a lot better than his 2.8Ghz Pentium D and integrated video.

Amazing how much the PD bottle-necked this system in games. well worth the <$200 investment.

one problem I noticed is I assume this motherboard just can't output the correct voltage. I did the 1.45v mod but cpu-z never reports anything over 1.35. I'm thinking it's the dell mobo but i'll have to look into it. I doubt this thing would boot at stock voltage so I'm pretty sure it's just an error in reporting the actual voltage.

Looks like the CPU is running at 1.45v, like you said its unlikely it could do that on stock vcore. If nothing reads to voltage right (nothing in bios?) remove the mod and see if its stable, if not, then the volt mod worked
