Closing L4 bridges

[Wildfire]

I heard that you can have problems o/cing theFSB if you do not colse the L4 bridges. Is this true? Somebody on the overclockers.co.uk forum posted it.

[Wildfire]

Not sure but that's what the guy said, not sure if I should try it or not, oing to do it with the pencil if I am. Could I fry my chip??

Someone said L4 ups your core to 1.875 or so.

hmmm

anyone know what does the L4 bridge do?

[JuDgE_DrEaD]

L1, L3, L4 and L6 control the multiplier, L7 controls voltage. L2 and L5 are unknown, well thats what ive heard

[!-=sky=-!]

if the L4 bridge controls the multiplier then how can it be helpful for a higher o/c?

I think that you will find that the L7 gives your CPU a defualt voltage of 1.85

Don't the L4's control default FSB? This is overridden in the BIOS by many boards without the need to "pencil trick" them. I know I've never connected the L4's on either my Duron or TBird and have never had trouble running an assortment of different FSB's...... :?
