Ok, A friend bought an E1200 some time ago and is running it on an Asus P5KPL-VM (G31) motherboard. He has 2Gb of the Patriot 4.4.4.12 Ram but the board has no ram voltage options so I left it running at spd settings.
The overclocking/voltage options on this board are very limited but I manage to get it prime95 stable @ 2Ghz (1.6Ghz default), FSB is 250 Ram is at 834. pushing the chip any further fails prime 95 as the ram is at it's maximum with out the required voltage boost.
He purchased a conductive pen (£10) and we did a BSEL Pin mod to take the default FSB from 200 to 266. we replaced the chip into his board, no boot. Tried a Cmos reset just in case, problem persisted . To make sure the pin mod was working I striped down my PVR system (Asus P5K-VM) and swapped out my E2160 for the pin modded E1200, it booted at 2.13Ghz, a quick run of Prime95 proved that it was stable. Pin modded my E2160 and tried it in my board, booted at 2.4Ghz tried it in the P5kPL-VM no boot.
So it looks like the P5KPL-VM will not work with Pin modded chips. Unless anyone has an idea of something we may have missed?
