I need some help with a voltage mod on PPGA celerons. I've a PPGA 366 that for some odd reason detects at 1.65V in the BIOS and it should be at 2.0 default. Is there a pin trick for PPGA celerons to up the default voltage? If so, where can I find info on such a trick?
 
why would you raise the voltage? are they not running perfectly stable at that voltage?
 
No, you see...the voltage runs at 2.0V like it should, but the BIOS maxes out at 2.05V. Sorry...should have clarified. I was hoping for a wire trick to up the voltage PAST 2.05V.
 
I'm guessing that by lack of responses, there IS no voltage pin trick for PPGA Celerons.

I don't know about a pin trick, but ther must be a way to volt mod the voltage regulator(s). They work by receiving feedback from the voltage they regulate, so if you can wire a resistor into that feedback line to lower its voltage, the regulator will think it needs to increase voltage. That's how volt-mods work in general... It just usually takes a little bit of skill and delicacy to solder wires to the tiny connections on your motherboard.
 
Yeah, I'm not THAT good at soldering, so I think I'll just ditch the idea and buy a P3 500 from CompGeeks. Thanks for the help guys, but if anyone else knows of an easy way, please chime in.
