Amd 850

[dickie]

unlocked my amd 850 duron today using the pencil trick but the bios settings haven't opened up to change the multiplyer, any ideas

cheers:)

It ain't unlocked yet if them settings don't open up OR the motherboard doesn't have the feature.

[dickie]

is there any reason why unlocking it with the pencil wouldn't work?

the bios has settings for changing the multiplyer they're just greyed out,

thanks 4 the reply:D

I FORGOT!!!!!!!! WELCOME TO THE FORUMS. To be honest with you, I have had no luck with the pencil trick 'cause my mobo likes a strong signal thru them L1 Bridges(been typing that line waaaaaaay too often) BUT it HAS worked for the rest of the people in the world. I paid double to get a conductive ink pen delivered to my door. There were so many probs with the pencil trick for me like sometimes booting,no AGP signal.........anyway try a few kinds of lead types, some of them don't conduct well enough. Look below at my sig & make one for yourself. It'll help the people here answer your questions if they have the specifics of your system.

Pencil worked fine for me once I broke down a baught a magnifying glass to make sure the bridges were connected and not touching.. it took me a few tries... I would sy get a magnifying glass and keep trying.

pencil trick worked great for me....now there is one major thing u might be forgeting....for example i will use my board...Asus A7V133 rev 1.05 in my book it says that any revisions befour 1.02 multplier in the bios will be disabled....maby u have an early board that also has the multipliers disabled in the bios....how about some old skool work use the dipswitches:)

IF you live near me then I'll bridge those pesky L1s for you! Just come by my house:D . Don't lay it on too thick 'cause that'll be just as bad.
