Change Multipliers without Modding your chip

Don't want to cut or blow bridges? Too worried about doing pin mods? BIOS doesn't have multiplier settings? Here's your answer.



Upgradeware's XP-TMC add-on. Put your CPU on this flip a few switches on the chip and stick it in the socket. Once you find your peak you can do your modding or just leave it in.


Comes with instructions, a tube of silicone thermal grease, the chip add-on and clip extensions for your heatsink.



Simple to use. Just press your unlocked chip into this add-on. Flip a combination of the switches on the underside for the desired multiplier and put it in your computer. Just remember to leave your multiplier settings on Auto.

Since putting this inbetween the CPU and socket makes it a lot thicker than just a CPU they give you clip extensions for the heatsink. If you have a bolt on type heatsink like the Swiftech 462+ you don't need to use them.

Overall its very easy to add on and works great if you're too worried about doing any physical modding to your motherboard or CPU. Only downside I can find about these is the fact it does not Support Palomino cores.

It doesn't support Palomino cores? Tbreds and Bartons are already unlocked so what purpose does this device serve? Original Athlons?

Athough if this does the smp mod it may be pretty useful.

Interesting....

This might be a good answer for my mobo that doesn't have a bios where I can change the multiplyer.

Its for people who need to get higher multipliers but the BIOS won't go higher. Like on my MSI K7D I can't get higher than 12.5x150 without modding the chips but im too shaky to do any minute work. With this device i am now at 14x150 with my 1700+s.

Mr. Fri its would be perfect for that. It changes the default multiplier of an unlocked chip to what you set it as.

AFAIK it doesn't do the SMP mod.

Xtc4u, I considered one of those but choose to use the wire-in-socket mod which is easy and FREE.

lol... doesn't support palmilo's eh... thats funny.
These things have been around for a long time though.

well when it takes you over an hour just to get one tiny piece of wire in the socket its not worth it IMO. I'm too shaky to do fine things like that. I think the specs say it doesn't support the paly using .18 process er something like that.

I've wired 3 boards now... its not hard, once you get the heck of it its easy. Save your money if you can, but if you don't trust yourself... give it a try.

They would be great at $5, but not $30.

I've got nerve problems from years of abuse to my body. I can't even hold a coffee mug let a lone a tweezers and a tiny piece of wire. 30 bucks was worth it to me.
