So I did the VCore mod only, and it worked great. Problem is, that I can't OC any higher than 2.4GHz. Any help?

You probably need to do the 800->1066 fsb pin mod.

Hmm. I'm back in this thread after like a year of being gone.

I have my E2160 BSEL Modded from 800 to 1066, and it defaults to 2.40Ghz, which is good. I have it overclocked to 3.11Ghz right now. I'm having some trouble now getting above 3.11Ghz without my SATA no longer working. I cannot lock my PCI-E in my motherboard, for some reason if I change it from "Auto" to "100", it won't boot, atleast the last time I tried with my last batch of settings before getting to 3.11Ghz, it wouldn't boot.

Would adding the extra line to make it BSEL Modded to 1333 make a difference? I know I could do it and see how it works, and if it doesn't then just remove it, as that's simple, but I'm just asking before I take my ACF7 off, as I had so much trouble getting it onto my board and don't want to remove twice more if I don't need to.

Technically, putting it at 1333 would make it what? 3.0Ghz default instead of 2.40Ghz? If so, would that be easier to get to 3.20Ghz, or would I still be having this SATA problem?

The SATA problem is linked to your PCI-E speed, the 945 chipset raises the PCI-E speed when it overclocks. So the 1333 mod, if it works will still give you the same problem If you want to overclock any further you would have to use an IDE hard drive.

Hmm. That's what I had read once before.. So technically, it's off subject from BSEL mod, but currently, if I'm running at 3.11Ghz, does that mean my PCI-E is currently running faster than 100Mhz?

I'm happy with 3.11Ghz, that just seems like so a close difference to suddenly cause my SATA to stop working.

japan1

The 945 chipset automatically raises the PCI-E to 115MHz when running a CPU with 1333 FSB. Your E2160 is a little over 1333 so it will probably be around 120Mhz.

Would I be able to manually change it to say 110 or so? Or would that cause more problems with my OC?

nice Bsel-mod guide!
i'll use it this cheap mobos that cant overclock 8)

thanks!

I tried this mod, and am having problems, I hope someone can help...

I have a DELL Inspiron 530s with a E4600 CPU @ 800Mhz bus speed. When I did the mod, for the 1066 bus speed, I also went ahead and did the vid mod for 1.4v. When booting, it goes through POST just fine, then when loading windows (I am dual booting Vista and XP) as it's booting and tries loading ACPI drivers, it reboots, on both XP and Vista.

Any suggestions?

NOTE: After some investigation, neither the BIOS, nor the clock generator can be changed on my motherboard. I tried the BSEL mod to no avail. it just goes through POST and does a continuous reboot.

Well, I guess it's fast enough for now....

Ooops, I should bite my tongue!
