Overclock Your Core 2 Duo's Voltage
Go to: Previous Article Next Article
You've finally decided to overclock that Core 2 Duo processor you have. Issue is, even with all the proper overclocking software and the right heat prevention gear for your components, your processor still can't output the necessary voltage to get this thing started. Instead of simply throwing away your motherboard and buying a new one, through using a variation on the "pin-mod" overclocking technique, you can easily alter the voltage with just some electrical tape and conductive ink.
This mod will work on nearly all of the Core 2 Duo CPU's by connecting a few points with the conductive ink. In the past, these points where actually "pins" that you would simply bridge within the motherboard seating to achieve a similar overclock in voltage, but without them there, the process of overclocking becomes a lot easier.
You'll need to know the exact voltage of your CPU before you should even consider overclocking it. To do this, check the box it came in or search online for the CPU by name. This mod will work for any of the Core 2 Duo line of processors, from the E6300 to the X6800. The three most common voltages, and the ones discussed below, are: 1.2875v, 1.35v, and 1.325v.
Depending on your CPU, there are as many as 5 different voltages that you can push it to. The lowest overclocked voltage you can achieve with this method is 1.4v and the highest is 1.6v. Once you've decided what voltage you wish to obtain, simply follow the guide detailed out below it.
Set up the proper work space that you'll need before you begin this process. Set everything down on a static resistant surface and ground yourself to something. Turning the chip pin-side up will reveal a little arrow in one of the corners. Make sure this arrow is pointing to the bottom right when you've flipped it over. Every pin that you have to jump is in the top left hand corner of the CPU. Before you start connecting pins, use the electrical tape to cover the pins you don't want to jump with the conductive ink.
Overclock from 1.2875v:
- Overclock to 1.41v: Start by connecting the pins at row two, columns three and four. Then you should connect the pins at rows four and five, column four.
- Overclock to 1.46v: Start by connecting the two pins at row two, columns three and four. Then you can connect the pin at row two, column four with the pin at row three, column four. You will need to cover the pin at row three, column six with electrical tape.
- Overclock to 1.51v: Connect the two pins at row two, column's three and four together, then connect the pin at row two, column four to the pin at row three, column four.
- Overclock to 1.56v: Start by connecting the three pins at row's two, three, and four on column four together. Then connect the pins at row two, column's three and four. Place a pin sized piece of tape over the pin at row three, column six.
- Overclock to 1.6v: Start by connecting the pins at rows two, three, and four, column four. Then you should connect the pins at row two, columns three and four. You will need to cover the pin at row three, column five with electrical tape.
Overclock from 1.35v:
- Overclock to 1.4v: Connect the two pins together at row three, column's six and seven.
- Overclock to 1.45v: Connect the pins at rows two and three, column four. Also, you need to put piece of tape over the pin at row four, column four.
- Overclock to 1.5v: Connect the pins at rows two and three, column four. Then you should connect the pins at row three, columns six and seven. Also, you need to put piece of tape over the pin at row four, column four.
- Overclock to 1.55v: All you need to do is connect the pins together at rows two and three, column four.
- Overclock to 1.6v: You will need to connect two sets of pins together, the first at row's two and three, column four. Then connect the second set at row three, column's six and seven.
Overclocking from 1.325v:
- Overclock to 1.4v: Start by connecting the pins at row two, columns three and four. Then connect the pins at row three, columns six and seven together.
- Overclock to 1.45v: Begin with connecting the pins at row two, columns three and four. Then you need to connect the pin at row two, column four to row three, column four. You will need to cover the pin at row four, column four with electrical tape.
