2nd in world rankings?! Congrats man
how has the other guy got the extra 50MHz on you?

2nd in world rankings?! Congrats man
He is a good overclocker and he had a better board, ddr3 ram, and a chipset that can squeeze out 300fsb
Damn guy :lol:. So I take it that means you have the most powerful Lenovo T61 laptop in the world them? (of your model that is)

For that cpu, I guess so. THeres people running modded biosses with quad cores

I can't believe that My overclocked laptop core 2 duo @ 2.6ghz is beating my (now dead) AMD A6-6400K APU at 4.7ghz in some cases!!!
for example:

You said you might be getting 3GHz in your last post?! How are you going to do that?! and I have a guess what the PCI-e thing is about.
I hope this explains to you:
12x266=3192
In other words, im gonna get a 2ghz core 2 duo form ebay and overclock it to 3.2ghz, using dual ide and 266 fsb!!!
That t61 is getting a gtx 570 for small lan parties

C2D is locked but...
C2D that originally has x10 multi. I can put x12 multiplier on all cores using dual ida trick. then i set the fsb from 200 to 266 and viola 2ghz>3.2ghz.
edit,it hink i know what you mean.
normal c2d are locked but i can get 2 extra increasments of the multiplier

Yea, that's what I meant, or at least what I meant to ask. And woah! A 570! better than what's in my main rig ^_^. If I'm not careful I'm gonna have to but a T61 myself and have a go

Ive lost quite a lot of screws, i will have to use a sallatape My soldering work is very messy
My soldering work is very messyyou were rightIts not a thinkpad if its not battlescared/covered in gaffa tape.

I use stickers to hide the massive scratches on the lid ^_^.you were right
There are no screws holding the keyboard, and the mouse panel, so i have this neat little feature for overclockers where you can access the motherboard within 1 second just by flipping the laptop upside down - No tools needed!
Awesome little tool that
I take it that laptop is a real trooper?

I dissembled a lot of laptops, and this lenovo T61 (this is my first lenovo laptop) is by far the most durable, even if it comes to messing around with the insides. The flex cable connectors are very well made, its like this laptop has been made for easy repairs

Its because Thinkpads were designed for large businesses. They're solid enough to withstand damage from traveling, easy to repair for IT departments (cheaper than doing RMAs for every little issue) and as they typically cost quite a bit more than your consumer grade laptop , they over engineer them (hence why the cooling is so good).
Its why I'm such a big fan of my ol' core 2 duo x61s.
