Good news for Latitude X1 owners!

No, it doesn't. Overclocking means that you change FSB, and your processor just rescales his speedstep frequencies according to the changed FSB. I was able to change FSB withing apprx. -10% to +25% from the nominal one before system was unstable, shutting down to BSD, freezing, or producing other signs of instability.

 

Looking good, so is the speedstep frequency above 600mhz, say 650mhz/700mhz? Or is it stuck at 600mhz?

 

Please google and read somewhere what overclocking is.

The minimal frequency for the processor used in X1 is 6x i.e. 600MHz.

On my X1 setFSB is able to change the minimal frequency between (apprx.) 550MHz and 750Mhz without altering the stability (in short time tests so far). Beyond that range you get BSD or system freeze.

 

HELLO,

A big thank to all
My X1 works perfectly with 2GB RAM and 8GB SDHC transcend crucial.


so I bought a 32GB SSD MTRON and ribbon cable for standard 1.8 "CE (ZIF) HDD (Ivar link post 36)

But impossible to connect
there are 50 pins on the motherboard while the X1 ribbon cable 40 pins.
is this the right cable?


Can someone help me?

 

Hi rico,

it was written already here that the ribbon cable is not sufficient (exactly because of the reason you post). If your drive has zif connector you need an adaptor like this one: http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.10887
(which is shipped with two different ribbon cables of which only one - for toshiba drives - is the one to use for new drives with zif connectors).

 

Ivar thank you to answer so quickly

can you confirm that my SSD MTRON + adapter comes in the case of the X1 there is not much space

 

If your ssd does have the zif connector (i dont know) and if its size (especially the thickness) is not higher than the standard size of 1.8" HDD (check on-line), then is will be OK.

 

MTRON has the same thickness as the toshiba but I think not having more space for the adapter.

 

with fingers crossed, it should fit.

 

Maybe I wasn't clear, I want to know if overclocking will affect the speedstep frequency?

So if I overlock to 1.3ghz, will my speedstep frequency rise from 600mhz to 650mhz or higher? Or is the speedstep frequency always locked at 600mhz?
