I have an unlocked (via the 5 L1's) XP1600. I was using it in a mATX mobo that didn't support much o/c'ing. It wouldn't recognize the chip right away.
For a while I used a wire mod to set the multi for the mobo. Recently, I changed to defogger stuff and removed the wires. I also set the voltage that way (on the back of the chip). I wanted to change multi's to do a mobile mod, and somehow it got set to a 6.5x instead of the 10.5x I wanted. No big problem.
I just moved it to another mobo, and used some solvent to wipe the defogger stuff off of the chip. Hard to do inbetween the pins, but there doesn't appear to be any connections.
The first time I put it in, it booted at 8.5x100, but the bios says 1600Mhz, booted wcpuid idea showed 12.5x100 (this board had previously recognized the chip correctly in the unlocked state.
Tried cleaning the bottom again, undid the mobile mod, bios still shows 8.5x100, 1600 MHz, but wcpuid shows 16.5x100. Bumped it to 105, For 1732Mhz, Prime stable for ~12 hrs.
Obviously, can't get to 133+fsb because of the high multi. I haven't cut any of the bridges to get the >12.5 multi's or anyting, so just wondered if anyone had any idea how this may have happened. I'll try cleaning better again tonight and cross my fingers.
