Please see the pictures ...

Remarks: The solution is only working with PIII-S 1.4G/512K/133M ,Celeron 1.4/256K/100M doesn't work
( I think this is no problem,as PIII-s/512K is more powerful )..also this solution doesn't has a switch for 740M/1.4G, as I think right now we have the patch alreday for 1.4G, and adding a swithch will make the modification more complex ....

Congratulations Trusty and many thanks for all your work on this! I think many people were waiting for this for loooong time.

Wow, Trusty. Is there anything you can't do? Thanks for all your contributions to the community.

Hello.

I received several PMs ,but if I replied your PMs,the web pages will

Trusty! you have just made my day! must feel good to finally solve this problem congratulation!

The reason I assume the 1.4/256/100m will not run most likely has to do with the fact that the processor will overclock because of the front bus speed difference. The processor is multiplier locked but cannot stop overclocking by front bus speed. With the xbox having a 133 front speed bus and the processor having a bus speed of 100 that processor is a more powerful of a processor than the 133 bus processor on the xbox. This is something you dont see a whole lot of on a pc because the companies making the components try to steer clear of it but the xbox happened to be one of the pioneers of a 133bus and most of the processors of that time were capped at a 100bus. If you can tweak the processor with a 100fsb to work it would push about 2ghz or so. Now if someone could find a 32 or 64mg ram chip to replace the 16mg we would really be able to get a good setup going. 2 companies make them or they were once produced I just cant locate them.

Hi，you are right ,,,,, I don't want run 1.4/256/100m is because I don't like adjust the FSB to make the modifications complex, also I don't want overclock.. I think the current 1.4/512K/133m is enough .The simpler the stabler ,,

Regards!
Trusty

Im sold, how much to do it for us little people?

More pictures for HV playback:
some 720P or 1080I HV full speed,
some half speed..

XBMC-SVN_2009-09-27_rev23183-T3CH is better than the others..

1.4G/512K is still not enough for :

H264-720P-mkv HD video ....
the fps is very low...

http://cid-ca9a446834e62bb3.skydrive.live....ck/CIMG1847.jpg

Thats incredible! Great work trusty. Truly impressive. Those heatsinks look a bit odd but if they work who cares, right?


edit-
Who am I to judge? Mine looks a little weird but I like it.

Damn Scotch.....that's a fatty. Does it cover both CPU and GPU?

The recommended installation (accroding to my pictures) of the CPU & GPU heatsinks:

1. CPU HeatSink: dimension: L*W*H= 72mm~80mm*60mm*25mm (the HeatSink of old P4 is similar),
two holes :dia 4mm /distance: 95mm; Screw :M3X30mm ;
2. GPU: the another side: made by a strong steel wire ;
3. Fan speed:90% .
4. my result : At least 2 days 24 hour continuing run no problem..

Amazing work once again trusty! How much for a pre modded board from you to the UK?

Hi, I am also wondering how much for a pre-modded board to be sent to the uk?

Hey Trusty. Have there been any updates to the patcher for the 1gb processors? You did mine almost 2 years ago and it still works, but the patcher does always fix the video/audio lag. Was hoping there might be a better version.

And Trusty's a good guy. Very 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

Sure does

Hello all, I am sorry , recently ,besides the PM ,also most of the time, I can't reply my post in this forums,if I reply the web page goes to error (It's strange ) ..

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!

There is a patch for games to work, can be downloaded here: http://www.xbox-scene.com/xbox1data/sep/EE...upkCULTbDkH.php

hmm well the patch was made in 2005... will it work for this processor as well? im not sure if the two processors are identical.

And from my understanding if i were to boot my xbox up in a stock state with M$ original dashboard using the stock bios would the game still be playable? Just maybe a little fast? I wonder if it would function on xbox live.

I have made a new patch for this processor, im just waiting to hear back from trusty if it works (or test it myself when my board arrives). if its working ill be sure to post it here

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

Patcher for 1.4Ghz can be downloaded here: http://www.mediafire.com/?vmnnzwxndnj

[

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:

http://cid-ca9a446834e62bb3.skydrive.live....s/Heatsinks.jpg

the two points cutting: one on DVD frame and one on HDD frame..

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!

You talkin 1.0 ghz or 1.4 ghz?

oh sh*t, where am I? mommy I'm lost... LOL

yes the 1.4ghz, I can distinguish between two threads.

Thanks!! and this solutin is from docentore:

Exact huge improvement ,now XBOX 1.4G can play full speed at least

my sample H264*720P video,and I didn't see the picture quality

reduced,

the Realtime average speed from 2~3 fps changed to fps:23.98

CPU:89.17..

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

Hi,GoTeamScotch,

I think Docentore is just excited ,he is talking about 1.4G/512K 128M XBOX ..anyway upgrade to 1.4G is a
very hard work,not "great "...

Regards!
Trusty

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

hi
do you still do this?
if so how much for a if you provide a board shipped to australia?

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!

I just received one of those gem

Thanks Trusty, wonderful work, hard work well done.

Let us know how did you get on with it, any xbmc found outs etc.

Yeah, i'll add my experience here for sure, all i can say now you can't go wrong, I used XBMC for years and still havn't seen anything better also I have no desire to change my habits but considering this upgrade as a revival that lets me view all my sources smoothly, i'll test some more later.

I got one also from trusty about a week ago. At first I was dissapointed with the emulators because they went from too slow to way too fast, but with the patch, everything runs beautifully!!!

But XBMC itself, runs smooth as a buttered pig.

I feel dissapointed, I had a few times enjoying the system, but the temps in XBMC are alarming, 76C cpu temp and a 34C gpu temp... my fan is buzzing like mad.

After a close look inside, i can't see no malfunction in the fan speed but the heatsink did not seem to do its job

I did perform the 80mm fan trick , i pushed it to 100%, but yesterday after 15-20', it was overheating > 80° (180F) my testing ended by a marvelous orange blinking and i have to let it cool down.

Did you get some similar reports ? What could you advice me to avoid overheating issues and make a -usable- better cooling system ? Please let me know.

had that problem as well. Had to remove the dvd drive (never used it anyway), move the hard drive over and put an extra fan on cpu radiator. temps are around 65* all the time.

Probably you could do some kind of air duct like in x360.

Despite that xbox is running smoothly. Thanks again Trusty!
