Default Overclocking Dell inspiron 1520 :)

Going to crack this sumbitch open and beat it up a bit

Was mine, gave to my parents, (now they have a macbook ) gave it back, time to pwn it.

Will get internal shots up ASAP but, I figure there has to be a way to increase vcore to the cpu like a FB or vid mod correct? I will try to find the clock generator (if there even is one?) for raising cpu mhz in setfsb

Specs if I recall correctly
T7500 good HW boints
8600mGT
2x1gb 667



Might have to put a pot on it?

That is pretty sweet... See if you can somehow mount a phase or waterblock to that mofo... If the chip sits where it is accessable under the kb, just remove the kb and use a usb one so it's out of the way and maybe get the pot on there..

This is awesome Splig. I can't wait to see what the hell you can pull off with this notebook. Have you ran any baseline numbers?

its on vista x32 and prettttty bogged down. Going to install win7 tonight but have to fix the DVD drive first. I figure XP would be a pita to get all the drivers installed on and Im going to be so much higher in frequency it wont matter the small hit

Xp will go in, and the drivers are going to be there...

All you need for benching that thing:

Chipset
Display
Ricoh or SDcard

I would strip the cover plate off, disable the touchpad in bios and remove it, the modem, speakers, and wifi card. Make sure the battery is not being used.

If yours has a second SATA port, then you might be able to run raid0... but only if it will run the intel matrix crapola. Not the greatest raid, but better than single drive..

After all that, the motherboard and chip should be exposed so you can cool it how ever you want.

EDIT: In order to get the top plate off iirc, you have to remove the monitor, but can remount it after the plate is removed.
