Meh, never mind... you had the right PLL all along, it's the ICS951462AGLF further down the list. Somehow, by me selecting what I had before and setting the FSB with it, the 'Get FSB' function with the correct PLL selected returned wrong PCIe values; namely 200 MHz. I wonder, if I actually had the PCIe running at that frequency...? But no, I would've just crashed spectacularly. I heard of folks OC'ing the PCIe up to 115 MHz, but from what I know, little to no performance is to be gained by that. Anyway, back to the issue at hand: A cold boot remedied the situation, 'Get FSB' with ICS951462AGLF returned the correct PCIe freq, 100 MHz.
To the question, whether anyone OC'ed a 5050e in an Aspire 5515: First off, just to run this CPU adequately, a better PSU than the OEM one is needed dearly. OEM is 65W, and prone to overheating. I'd go with at least a 90W PSU (that's what I'm using with the stock CPU). Secondly, running the 5050e at it's designed freq will net higher temps, albeit only slightly higher (naturally coming from the 5050e's TDP rating of 45W, versus 15W for the stock 2650e). OC'ing the 5050e in the Acer 5515 might need additional cooling, but it would be most certainly a spectacular feat. I heard from someone successfully OC'ing a BE-2350 to 2.5 GHz, which essentially made it a 4850e (same Brisbane core, and stepping G2), w/o running into major heat issues.
As far as I know, the Turion CPUs use the S1 socket, not the AM2. If your Turion is a Socket AM2, then feel free to install it, and it will definitely be safe, considering that Turions are mobile processors.
For those who were asking I did attempt to overclock the 5050e processor with Systool awhile back but never posted the results since it wouldn't OC past 2.7Ghz without black screening. I was previously able to OC the 2650e to about 2.0Ghz@250Mhz bus speed before black screening at ~255Mhz bus. The 5050e is close to max running stock.
This is probably happening because of thermal shutdown. Not only the 5050e, but most likely any processor with a TDP of 45W. I tried it with the BE-2400 X2 CPU, and it lasts just about 5 min before it shuts down. Reason: By setting a custom FSB frequency, I successfully shut off the CPU's thermal throttling (BAD). In it's non-overclocked state and default voltage (2.3 GHz and 1.2V, in my case), the CPU will reach thermal throttling threshold (78C CPU temp, 55C core temp) in a matter of minutes, if any kind of meaningful load is put on the CPU (30% to 50%). The CPU fan and heat sink are just about adequate for the stock CPU. For what it's worth - I heard of someone overclocking the BE-2400 to a stable 3.8 GHz in a desktop machine with a good cooler/fan. :O
OK, I don't have very good luck apparently, I bought what I thought was a LE-1640 CPU, but I received a 3800 instead, ADA3800IAA5CU. I know that this will physically fit, but will it work. I believe it is a 86w cpu, so that i am sure will pose serious issues. Is there a way to throttle this back in vista and go with a 90w power supply? What do you think?
OK, according to wikipedia this is what I have received this time.
Athlon 64 X2 3800+ 2000 MHz 2 x 512 KB 1000 MHz 10x 1.30/1.35 V 89 W Socket AM2 May 23, 2006 ADA3800IAA5CU
This is a "windsor" chip. I am tempted to try it, but I am hesitant. I feel so let down by my last two attempts to get an upgrade.
.
I know nothing of what will or will not work other than what has been posted in the thread. All help is appreciated.
Im not good at computer hardware but since there got no 5050e sell at my country store... Ive wondering can i use the AMD Athlon 5200+ to upgrade my Aspire 5515 cpu....
The processor is AMD Athlon X2 5200+ 2.8 GHz 2000FSB 1Mb cache....
