View Full Version : Goldfinger?
My brother has a 900mhz Tbird (slot cpu) and wants to overclock it. Can anyone point me to a Goldfinger device for purchase online or should he just try to crack the case and connect the L1's? Thanks all.

Read this http://www.tech-report.com/reviews/2000q1/gf-roundup/ (http://) It will keep you busy for awhile. It has links to other articles and links to sites selling them.
Thanks bud, that will definately give HIM some reading to do. As for myself, I bought a socket A. :)

I bought mine off ebay for 23 bucks and its worth getting the extra 100 mhz. The only problem is make sure you have a very good fan i.e thermaltake slot a fan and a case fan to blow behind the cpu. I ripped off first my classic 600 and then my tbird 900 case flawlessly . Make sure you go online a find a page that shows you how to do it. I wish i could adjust my front side bus on my 7ix or id probbly have 1100 mhz easy, I am upgrading to the kk266 and 1.333 chip for 230 bucks. I already have the crucial ram so i plan on getting up to 1550mhz in a few weeks

The GFD ist much simpler to do an they aren´t expensive anymore.
But be careful...as far as I know not all GFD´s do actually work with Slot A T-Birds as their where originally designed for Classic Athlons. But most should do the job.
Cracking the Athlon open is not too difficult by the way..
