It seems every 10th post is "How do I unlock my XP?" There is ONLY 1 way to do it easily and so that it is totally reversible. Don't hack up your CPU with glue and defogger kits, how damn barbaric! See the link below,

Great article... Did you use that conductive grease as well or can you use artic silver?
Whats a little superglue/defogger paint to prove that you're hardcore? I mean, you're gunna void the warranty anyways, right?

"Whats a little superglue/defogger paint to prove that you're hardcore? I mean, you're gunna void the warranty anyways, right?"
Well, no. To unlock with the above method you are filling the slits with cheap silicone thermal paste, never dries and is easily removed from the slits. To connect the bridges you use silver conductive GREASE. This wipes RIGHT off! To undo the process takes 30 seconds.
"Great article... Did you use that conductive grease as well or can you use artic silver?"
Yes I used that grease, took 5 minutes all together. Every Multiplier on the CPU works. Arctic Silver will not work, it is non conductive.
I will be trying this tonight. I will post my succsess.
