I have a Dell 530 with an E2160 that is Folding for me temporarily. It does a good job but I'd like to squeeze some extra performance out of it. Normally I wouldn't even bother, this box having a Dell motherboard and all... But in the past few weeks I've seen some examples of FSB-changing mods that might work with my Foxconn manufacturered DG3303 motherboard. Mostly, I am trying to figure out how to raise the FSB from 800MHz to 1066MHz.
So far I've tried connecting BSEL1 (Second contact avbove the side notch as you are looking at the bottom of the chip) to VSS (Fifth contact) with my conductive ink pin, but that doesn't seem to do anything. At this point I'm hesitant to remove the CPU as I would rather it just keep folding.
What am I doing wrong? Or maybe this newer Dell mobo is somehow preventing the FSB change to take place?
Any ideas for getting this E2160 to a 1066MHz FSB would be greatly appreciated!
