Stumbled on this thread while searching for something similar, just have to say, there is no real need to do a pin mod for the E4300 on the ASRock 775i65G board - if you have the revision 2 board, you can change FSB manually (up to 300mhz) and adjust RAM frequency and timings. I have my E4300 running at 2.5GHz stable (wont go higher than 278fsb, but its because of the RAM) with 2 x 512 Patriot DDR400 sticks, the real drawback on this board is that you can't adjust DIMM voltage, so you can't really use any modules over 2.7v (unless you buy DDR500 @ 2.8v and clock it down to the 300fsb, which should theoritically bring it down to 2.7v).

finally i have the defogger kit to paint this... it wasnt too difficult to tape with scotch and paint with the provided huge brush but i did have to scratch a little bleed through off with a plastic pointed thing cant wait to test it now this stuff looks like it would come off very easy i wouldnt want to rub it because it seems like it may just powder off...

There are numerous ecs owners who have successfully performed the pin mod on their e4300, resulting in a 33% overclock (from 200 to 266). Currently, I have mine at 2.7 ghz (9x300). Not bad for a super cheap Fry's combo.

I obtained the instructions from postings made by highwire and Zap. I have posted the pics. at ocforums.com

Curiuos if you really are running at 300FSB. Since you mentioned the "pin mod", then I assume you know what you are doing.

I have the Fry's combo and have run it for a few month on PC3200 RAM at stock speeds. It runs DC 24/7 for TeAm AnandTech. Best Buy had a stick of PC-5300 (667) DDR2 RAM onsale for $19.99 this morning, so I bought it. With the faster RAM I upped the FSB setting in the BIOS to 300, the max when I enabled overclocking. I then ran the latest version of CPU-Z and found that the FSB was actually running at 225 for an OC of only 225 Mhz. I have the RAM set at highest setting of 533 and the ratio seems to automatically set itself to 3:4.

What am I missing? Any suggestion besided the "pin mod?"

Well, figured it out. In another post I read where someone had set the BIOS to 300 and the system cut it back to 225. I had actually wondered if that were happening and this was my confirmation. So, I rebooted and set FSB to 234 and it took. So, I started bumping it up with my next stop at 250. Then I figured why not try for 266. Well, it would not boot and I had to reset the BIOS to get back into the system.

So, I dropped the FSB to 255 for some strange reason. Upon rebotting I heard the HD making a funny noise. Guess I should admit that I'm using an older PATA drive. Well, I must have trashed something on the HD as it would only come up with the BOOT record's boot menu asking what version of Windows I wanted to enter. Nothing worked included basic Safe Mode. So, I'm trying a repair to see I can salvage it.

Guess I should be happy with 240 FSB and a 20% OC for what I paid.
