Ok, so I can get a chip for about 15 bucks, so I have to solder it in or is it socketed in the n5200 (non-pro)?

I'm not 100% sure but I believe the cpu is soldered directly to the board in the non PRO model. If you're going to attempt to remove and solder in a new cpu your either very, very brave or pretty misguided. Unless you have the relevant surface mount equipment and have experience using it I would not advise anyone to attempt this. I wouldn't try it myself, and I can do some pretty simlly things at times  |

Has anyone tried to upgrade their 5200/Pro's CPU? I have the 5200pro/ Celeron M 1.5ghz. I have an old laptop Pentium M 2 GHZ laying around that I am thinking about swapping the CPU and upgrading the cooling with a all cooper coolermaster heatsink. I've upgraded the back fan to a queiter 120mm fan by drilling the backplate already. Anyone attempt to do the cpu upgrade? I imagine it should work but want to check before attempting. I upgrade my N5200BR Pro CPU to Intel® Pentium® M Processor 2.10 GHz/2M SL7V3 Dothan CPU and 1 GB MDT Memory over 3 months. No Problems! test.it |

I will take a look, if it is soldered I am not even going to attempt it...
Ya, trying to resolder would be nuts.

Yes by changing the bus from 100Mhz to 133Mhz, there is a jummper up close to the CMOS chip change it from 2-3 to 1-2 then you will have a 2Ghz unit.

OK... I used a SL7SM 2 Ghz 533Mhz on my N5200BR Pro (mobo v2), changed J1 jumper to 1-2, and the unit gets stuck at "Self Testing..." upon power up. I even tried setting J1 back to 2-3, no luck.
Do I have a bad CPU (got it from eBay) or does it require a 400Mhz CPU?
Thanks.

No beeps, the back of panel has a serial connector. I tried null modem cable and Cisco serial cables neither had any output... Do you have the VGA header on the board to see what is going wrong? Any beeps? |

I just slapped in a
SL7EM 2 GHz 755 1 400 MHz 90 nm B1 2 MB
And it's running great! awesome thread ;D

Gotta ask, what kind of boost did you get?
I mean...is it a full 20%? Is the N5200pro actually running the processor at 2.0ghz in info?
Thanks for the info, just trying to convince myself this is a worthy upgrade.

Thanks for the info, just trying to convince myself this is a worthy upgrade. Here's what it shows System Info Firmware Version: 2.01.09 Product: n5200 Producer: THECUS CPU: Intel(R) Pentium(R) M processor 2.00GHz Uptime: 1 days 4:28 LoadAvg: 0.16 0.05 0.01 Fan 1 speed: 1143 Fan 2 speed: 3235 Switch Board: No The web interface is lightning fast now and i find the transfer rate more stable with multiple clients connecting at the same time.. i'll have to do some transfer test. Got the cpu from an old surplus'd laptop at work. |
