The Success Of Xbox Upgrade To Piii-s 1.4g/512k/133m ..., PIII-S 1.4G/512K/133M is the P3 high end processor for the server Options

[trusty]

wow... thats pretty impressive. So i imagine that you can run most 720P videos, with some exceptions?

do original xbox games work at normal speed with this upgrade? Does this motherboard with the new processor fit in a stock xbox case without cutting stuff up? it seems that putting the fan at 90% would be a but much. Is the regular heatsink not good enough? Im really considering getting one!

Hi,

1.Some 720P HD videos can run full speed,some half speed,H264 HD very slowly,
2.Games still can run under 1.4G P3-S, pkbunghole had just released
a patcher for 1.4G P3-S,the test result:


Games on 1.4G XBOX with the patch from 733M to 1.4G p3-s:

Before patch After patch
-----------------------------------------------------
Burnout Revenge very fast Normal
NFS Hot Pursuit 2 Normal Normal
OutRun 2006 very fast Normal
NINJA GAIDEN Normal Normal
TORK Normal Normal

3.New CPU can still fit in the stock xbox case with two points
cutting to cope with the cooling.
4.The XBOX's original heatsink can't use (Mechinical issue),need
DIY a new one.

Thanks for testing, trusty

does it really need a heatsink that big?

i have been running my 1ghz at 10% fan speed for the last few years
with 0 problems

and the 1.4ghz's a die shrink is it not

It doesn't need a bigger heatsink,but for mechanical installation,you
need DIY a new one,due to the total increased
height and the original plastic frame need cut to
release space for the new CPU,thus the
original CPU heatsink can't use...

The DIY CPU heatsink:
CPU HeatSink dimension: L*W*H= 72~88mm*60~64mm*25mm
( the similar HeatSink : old P4 or 1U P4 ),
two holes : dia 4mm /distance: 80mm; Screw :M4X30mm ;
two springs..

Also the fixation for the GPU heatsink need change,see the picture:

I've got my board early this week from Trusty. Didn't have time for extensive testing, just powered it yesterday for few minutes. I have to say that XBMC was flying fast. Today or tomorrow I will try some HD films. Thanks again Trusty!

Its a legit question jackass. no need for sarcasm. it was suggested trusty may be doing this as a service for others but never a straight forward answer. you could have been a satisfied 1.0 ghz user chiming in saying 'trusty is great' for all i know

Ok, sorry, sarcasm wasn't needed. My apologies. No need for calling me jackass either, as Trusty said I'm bloody excited with new toy

Anyway on the thread on xbmc forum (link few posts above) I posted my conf file with which I saw huuge improvement on playing .mkv's

[supmax]

Found some websites with config and dll files to improve xbmc's performance on xbox:
I have not had a chance to try any of this yet, please let me know if some one does and report some results.

I've been looking all over and soakin up what I can about the process of upgrading the CPU now I just need to know can I do the CPU removal and installation with a heatgun? is it possible? This heatgun I have can do 350 / 400 degrees... Or would i be better off having someone w/ a BGM Rework station do it for me? And get the ram while they're at it?

Also I sent you a PM Trusty inquiring about just buyin a already upgraded board off you!

Thanks!
