Do you have a functional BSEL tape version for the Q9500 CPU?
Do you have a functional BSEL tape version for the Q9500 CPU?
The BSEL connection to the current bus is straightforward and efficient. It was observed that certain newer chipsets recognize the BSEL signal and restrict the CPU to its minimum multiplier. Throttlestop has the capability to disable C states when this occurs, ensuring it runs at full capacity. However, board-level modifications and hexadecimal hacks aren't suitable for everyone.
William P explains the requirements for the BSEL mod, highlighting why certain models are preferred. He notes the cost differences between Q6600 and Q6700, mentioning that older models were more affordable. He also discusses the limitations of OEM chipsets due to CPU power constraints and the impact on performance. Additionally, he mentions that higher voltage settings can improve stability and speed, with some examples provided from real-world testing.

You inquired about software overclocks in the discussion, and I continued addressing your initial question. There are available software overclocks. It's important to know your PLL chip model to use them effectively.
The PLL manages the FSB speed along with other parameters. It is typically found inside a small metal container marked with a number starting with 14.xx. This component produces the frequency it operates with. With the correct number, you can input it into any FSB overclocking program that supports that chip.
Tools like Clockgen, SetFSB, and similar utilities enable gradual increases in FSB speed. However, boosting voltage also has limits. VID pinmods offer additional control options, with many possible configurations available.

You should look online for a diagram of the desired voltage.
william p :
Actually there are 2 variations of the tape mod. One uses metal tape to run traces. the other just blocks one pin with electrical tape. here's the old one.

There are no experts on OCing OEM computers. There is no forum where 50 guys have done this before. There are 50 forums that will telll you it can't be done.
The only reason I suggest trying t he 400FSB mod is I saw a Dell Dimension 780 Q45 chipset running Q9650 @ 3.6GHz, and the only way I know to get there is BSEL 400.
The experts will tell you only the X48 chipset has 400fsb. But X38 already had it. There just weren't any CPUs that needed it yet. So somebody somewhere tried it and it worked. Every expert said O/C ing my E520 wouldn't work. I'm #2 at CPUz with it now.
so you're saying the bsel mod works for optiplex 780 mt? i have 0c27vv that only goes up to 1333. should i try it?
