Do you know why it posts as a 3.2 ghz then runs in windows as a 1.6ghz? RightMark CPU shows the cpu is running at half, 1600mhz, and never goes above that.
you can add up in your head, how the processor drawing less power, makes the brick run *even cooler* than it did after the mod. And here's the numbers: The energy meter says 35 watts at idle (with the screen blanked) And 50 watts when in use, about 48 if the screen is turned down in brightness. This compares favourably with about 65 watts with the other processor SL6WK loaded. So 15 watts less power = cooler brick. Although if someone with a comparable brick had not...
Put in the SL77R. The other one was a SL6WK. Was the OEM processor with the laptop. The SL77R POST displays 3.2Ghz; once in windows CPUID or CPUZ says only 1.6Ghz. The only threads I could find were of computers posting at 1.6Ghz, and a pin mod, BSEL1 and BSEL0, to run the processor at 200mhz FSB (800mhz) instead of 133mhz (533), which would be 2.4Ghz instead of 1.6Ghz. I wonder what the heat difference/power dissipation increase would be at 2.4Ghz? Right now it runs...
I find SL7CH For instance: http://cgi.ebay.de/Pentium-4-EXTREME...462511?pt=CPUs Do you mean this one? I see the price *is* quite high... oh my. However, that one is also 130nm, so it's not inherently cooler or lower power. SL7E5 (3.2ghz 90nm) or SL7E4 (3.0ghz 90nm) might be better.
That's what I'm asking: what are the model numbers of the best p4's to put in this board. It's based on an intel chipset i865 or something. look at the cpuz output 90nm? edit: Everest says Intel Springdale i865PE edit: I think those P4EE's were only made in an LGA 775 package, not a socket 478. What do you think? edit: the main thing here is performance/heat ratio. The default P4 3.06ghz northwood runs hot. This also leads to a shortened battery life. I have...
I got it for 20 bucks. I don't know where you get your pricing? :P So what's the fastest and will a 90nm process processor run on it?
Hi, Based on the hype around the 'net and very limited feedback (is everyone more than 2 years into computers here dead ? ), I had earlier formed the opinion the SL77R was a 90nm production processor with lower heat. Now I see it's not... I have the Clevo / Sager 5680 / D500P here with the default 3.06Ghz processor. Every now and then I would jump on eBay to see if a SL77R 'upgrade' was available, and I bought one, turns out it's not when I looked again: it's another...
what I meant by 'the bios here' is the bios mentioned in the article. Notice: the link is dead. So does anyone have a copy per chance? I did already email power... and am waiting for a response.
Thank you for the information. As the SL77R operates at a lower voltage, will things inside the laptop automatically adjust, or is it forced to run at the higher voltage of the present 3.06ghz cpu?
