now i found out that the sanford eagle hb2 had the most graphite in it to make a solid connection, while still being able to be taken off.... am i wrong with this? and when making the connection make sure they do not connect as well as the lines be shiny to make sure the connection is there... im i correct in this?

All you gotta do is grab a pencil, or even a mechanical pencil, I think I used 0.5mm one on my chips, and just move it back and forth over each bridge several times so they do sort of shine from the graphite. Just make sure that non of the lines touch each other, or you can short the bridges and make the chip act up

Because its locked, "the coolest" just posted what you have to do to be able to overclock it (but I read that you should avoid mechanical pencils)

there's actually a bunch of different ways to do it, you should do a search on "unlocking athlons"

if u used the .5 mech pencil, it actually raises the resistance on the l1 bridges, u are trying to have the lowest resistance possible, so u get a better OC, those new "high-polymer" contain very little graphite, generally, a softer and darker pencil would contain more graphite and have a lower resistance

that sonford was ranked as a very high on the omz for resistance,, so wait, im using the worst of the lsit? from http://www.overclockers.com/tips314/
ugh,, oops....maybe ill go back to a standard #2

No wonder it didn't work! Use something a little more conductive... A standard #2 should do you just fine (it worked for me). Remember, an ohm is a measure of resistance. The more ohms, the more resistance. You want something that's conductive, that is something with a small amount of resistance. You could also try conductive paint or pens for a more permanent solution.

I don't think arctic silver 5 will work very well for you either. It's designed to be thermally conductive, not electrically conductive:

Oh, yeah. That would be good.

it seems though i tend to freeze around 54 when its going towards load,, does this have anything to do with i made the settings on my abit kt7a rev 1.1 board for the cpu fast and all enabled in the softmenu? should i disable anything when oc'ing it?

Sounds like it's getting too hot.. try more cooling/taking the side off your case to see if case ventalation is the problem.
