Pencil Trick Worked!!!!! Athlon 1ghz @1066

[daver343]

I just wanted to see if it would work, cause then I would clock it higher, but I did the pencil trick to the L1 bridges with an HB-2 pencil. 8.0x133 posted @1066. Sooo sweet. Now lets go for higher. :D
Ah, also right now I have a regular heatsink but the idle temp in windows is
32-35c.

Update, just changed multiplyer to 9x. Booted @1.2ghz. !!! SWEETNESS

Good work.

How far are you going to push that cpu??

[daver343]

I just pushed it to 1.4ghz. The sweetness. ITs at 40c idle. Max Payne still works.

Great job, what are the other specs?

[daver343]

Im tempted to push the cpu to 1.5 but seeing as how my idle temp is 43c with a standard hsf, Im gonna leave it at 1.4 for now.
Sry, the rest of my specs:

AMD Tbird 1ghz @ 1.4ghz 1.85V
DFI AK76-SN
256mb DDR 2100
GeForce-2 GTS 32mb DDR
SB-Live X-Gamer
15gig Seagate Barracuda 2
4x4x24 HP CDRW
Panasonic 8x DVD
300w PSU (Deer)

As for the actually code of the cpu, I have taken the HS off a few times but
kept forgetting. I'll post it sometime. Its tobad thought that my DFI board only allows for Voltage settings up to 1.85v. Ah well. Im happy.

i think all boards have max voltage at 1.85v unless u do a voltage mod

the only exception i think is the epox board

i think u should replace your heatsink with something better

Most of the MSI K7T Turbos ver3.0 can get to 1.97 v-core cause the .12 variation from the BIOS and actual temps. I choose 1.72 v-core in my BIOS but actual voltages are 1.85. Gotta love MSI for this!! I did the voltage hack also and I can now get a .30 variation!!

nice to see people are happy, a decent heatsink and fan for ure beast is a thermoengine with a delta 38, try burning in ure cpu, that might help u get an extr buncha mhz :)

what do you do to burn in your cpu?

You know... the Suttle AK31 has a voltage range of 1.6v - 1.975v.
Of all the places I have seen a review of this board, 2 or 3 have said it is quite possibly the best ddr board for overclocking. It is completely jumperless and veery stable. I don't see why there aren't more people out there with one.

Voltage mods are easy and only ever involve soldering two wires and I variable pot to a board. No worries to get above 2.0v on any good board (cheap boards can't do it stably)

ok...i m stupid....but i still cant do the board mod..i dun quite understand it ....btw i have asus a7v

If you cut off some of the L4 bridge you can increase the _default_ core voltage but I don't think it will push more further than 1.85, any1 tired it?

:mad: Tried the pecil trick last night,did not work. I connected L1 birdges with a #2 hb mechanical pencil.Booted up still at 950 just what I started with. Whats up with that,help.How do I change the mulitplyer?

P.S Have two systems slot a bird runs sweet this bird won't.

I tried to unlock the multipliers when I first got my chip but it didn't work so I decided to try a different pencil. I used some .5mm HB led that I got from the dollar store. I found a big bag for a dollar but the lead was cheap and broke all the time so I never used it until now. I used the naked eye and to my suprise, I got it to work. I would try it with a .5mm mechanical pencil and use a magnifying glass to see if you cross any bridges. Just make sure you clean it really well every time you retry it. I used rubbing alcohol and some toilet paper (didn't have cotton balls.
