I used this kind of TESA tape. Once applied on both sides, it's almost equal to superglue.

That stuff is decent, but not a great long term solution.

I generally avoid using super glue - had a few BGA ICs literally rip out taking the solder balls with them if I ever needed to remove them, while that double sided tape is less likely to damage any chip.

It's not intended to be removed. But it's all good.

I have one here and some double sided tape (same stuff that @Robert B uses).
Do they really get that hot tho?

I have burnt my finger once lol. I too superglued an old heatsink onto it.

Super glue can be easily removed with acetone and a bit of heat. Yuu can use thermal pads salvaged from non working GPU/RAM etc if you have them lying around.

Already got it installed using the earlier mentioned tape, it seems even that is enough to cool it - tested with an similarly fixed 3D Blaster Banshee on a 20GB Quantum Fireball w/98SE and 3dmark99 as well as 2000 to stress the parts a bit. Everything was well in spec thermal wise.

Also took time to replace the 40GB Seagate U6 "rubberjacket" drive with an 74GB Raptor. Boots twice as fast right off the bat, almost on par with a SSD.

I Never had an laptop, so i decided to buy one, searched for the cheapest i can find with at least a core 2 duo, and find this...

Thinkpad T61, Core 2 Duo T8300 with Quadro NVS140M, 2gb of ram ddr2, 80gb HD ( now with an 120gb ssd ).

I Think i know why it is so hot before...

Now i can play football manager 2008 in my couch.

Runs Far Cry (1) at 8k 60FPS, so it's good enough

Running a D820 with so little overclock is practically illegal, 4GHz is the starting point.

Good work restoring the laptop; it looked quite bad before you did. I gather that you repasted it and used a magic eraser to get the degraded soft-touch rubber off. I would install Linux on an old laptop like that. I also think it's interesting that the RAM was made in your home country.

Yay, you can match the clock speeds of modern CPUs! Just don't tell anyone about this little thing called IPC. XD

Those Raptor HDDs were the best of the best of HDDs back then I gather. I also spotted that you're using an IDE-to-SATA adapter board to use it. It'd be interesting to try running two of those things in RAID 0 with the dual IDE ports on the board.

I've had crappy luck on the silicon lottery, managed to push my D935 for only to 4.8GHz. I may return to it one day. :rolleyes:

Well done giving that laptop a lease on life! I'd definitely upgrade the memory to the maximum allowed 4 GB. Myself, I'd put Win7 64-bit on it and use it like a regular PC.

This page will be of interest to you

Managed to snag another gem off the classifieds... a Gainward Dragon 3000 12MB.

I'll defo have to learn how to deal with V2s, so this is the perfect case to do so.

Well, not on this board. 4x 1GB with Smithfield don't want play nice on this P45 board.
Also, this combo has pretty hard FSB wall at ~950MTs, so 4GHz is a pipe dream.
Board just isn't optimized to handle this kind of CPU after much OC.
Not to mention, I could have ended up with a "failed" die quality sample :/

Damn, I thought that M2F is one of the best OC boards :eek:

edit: I need to test one day how my P5Q Pro behaves with my D840 & 4x1GB (or even 4x2GB)

agent_x007 · 2024-10-30T18:41:09+0000

Well, it is. Pentium D 8xx series just sucks (1-st CPUs with two cores inside, also : They will be 20 years old next year

). "It's fine" with single core Pentium 4 with Prescott-2M core BTW :

Stupid that HT is only on the extreme SKUs.

I should try a P4 631 as well as it's a 65nm CPU, should OC better than the 90nm ones :toast:
