[Overclocking Noob]

ok but it is risky to change the multi with throttle stop? how much more temperature comes? and do I need to disable speedstep in the bios? and how about pin modding?

SetFSB does not work by default especially for Dell machines; it requires pin modding of the socket.

And if you're "afraid" of pin modding, (Well there are, but don't look at me) You can also try UncleWebb's Throttlestop, it will enable dual IDA mode thus giving your T9500 a 200Mhz boost to 2.8GHz.

IDA mode is when the processor is using only one core, or at least an application that requires on just one core instead of two to process it, the T9500 will "overclock" one of its core to 2.8GHz, to put simply. But if you download UncleWebb's ThrottleStop, it gives you an option for Dual IDA mode and will unlock BOTH cores run at 2.8GHz, again to put it simply.

Your Dell BIOS is possible because there is an option to disable speedstep. Disabling that option and this 200Mhz overclock can be achieved.

For 200Mhz, it's not alot in real world performance but, hey, it's a free overclock.

For me as a hardware junkie I would attempt the pin modding - But I lack the time these days to try on my M1730.
