1st of all, thanks for the guide!

I've successfully BSEL mod E2160 and Q6600 to 1066 and 1333 FSB, respectively on Dell Vostro 200. Both are running stable with stock fan.

I am waiting for Bolt-Thru Kits to replace the dell cooler with the after-market HSF cooler. By then I will try to mod E2160 to 1333 FSB to achieve 3Ghz speed.

However, do I need VID mod to increase the CPU voltage?
Will it affect my video card or memory when CPU at 1333FSB?

Thanks!

system set-up:
Dell Vostro 200
E2160
8800GS
OCZ 2x 1gig + Dell Stock 2x 512mb DDR2 @ 667MHz
Thermaltake TR2 430w

Some E2160's will do the 1333 mod without a VID mod, but some will need it (usually only the 1.4v). What you want to do is do the mod, then download orthos and run the small ffts test for a couple of hours ( I usually do 8), if it passes no VID mod is required and if it fails you need to do a VID mod.

The mod will have no effect on your memory, as the motherboard will think that this is the default speed of the CPU so video card and memory will not be affected

I tried to get my CPU (E8400) back up to 4.88Ghz. but i was unable to get it to stay cool due to these defects in my Motherboard(EVGA780i SLI)....

Anywho i WAS able to get it to 4.5Ghz. as you can see here.

Also I promised to post some pics of these "problems" so I am following up!

If anyone has any suggestions about how this may have happened or on my specs plz reply I would love to hear them !

A:I do have all of the stand-offs screwed into the correct holes on my motherboard.....

B:No I dont have any moisture in the a/c unit or the air in my house.(I do have some but my motherboard has never collected condensation)

C:coltsrock, I will try to get it a lil higher when I get my new thermaltake Bigwater in the mail.This is all I could do for now without proper connectivity between my CPU and motherboard.

Thanks all!

Sorry to add so many pics but I want everyone to see this.
Too bad nobody showed me lol.

Wow that motherboard is warped pretty badly. I had a similar problem, it was caused by my cooler being very tight to fit and bending the motherboard. I managed to just about by using a cooler that used a backplate instead of push-pins, another tip to level it out is to find (or make) a piece of wood/plastic/rubber etc the same height as the standoffs and place it under the motherboard.

So, OlliillO...

What BSEL mod did you do to your E8400? If so, what did you do?

Hey sorry about the double post but idk how to quote twice for one reply...

Anywho here are some pics of my processor and the mods.
However,I just did some googleing on your motherboard and im not too sure if it will even work.But,who knows it may work just fine.My board supports a stock 1333 fsb at max.When I did the mod it worked but in my bios it read(after setting all the defaults) 1431.7.Showing that all it could accept was 1431.7 of the new 1600 fsb.
This mod is ONLY for 1333 fsb being modded to a 1600 fsb.

*changes fsb from 1333 to 1600 lol*

Goodluck man and reply back to show us how it goes!

1st post .

Ok so I have never really OC'ed before (never had a need) and my friend told me to look up this mod. He has a Q6600 so his process he told me is different.

On an older computer I have with an E2180 and Intel D945GCCR motherboard:

I want to do the BSEL mod. But since it doesn't support 1066 (or so it says) does that mean I am stuck at 2.0GHz with the processor and motherboard combo? Is there anything else I can do besides the BSEL mod to overclock at least a little bit? I was aiming for 2.4-2.5 GHz at least.

Thanks in Advance...

And Japan-

Good article .
