Successful Unlock 1600+

[DJ2000]

Just followed the Tomshardware unlock video and meticulously reconnected the L1 Bridges and it is a thing of beauty. Currently running at 133X11.5 for a wonderful 1533 (1800+). The temp was right at 35 deg C so I actually lowered the Vcore by .025v and still rock solid. Will experiment higher later.
Using a coolermaster on a EPOX 8KHA+, 512 Crucial DDR. Smokin

Used regular super glue and circuit works conductive ink pen. I tested the ink pen at the electronics store on a voltmeter before I bought it. .0001 Ohms. (Virtually no resistance) I also used a sharp brand new razor blade from a window scraper to level the dried superglue mound flush with the top of the CPU. This left a perfectly smooth surface across the pits for which the conductive ink covered perfectly.

Well Done looks like your the only one to ever do this successfully!!!

Great job! How can you work with such a small area? Did you use a magnifying glass? I want to unlock my 1700 (currently running at 11x150). I know my memory can do higher but my CPU won't keep up with it.

Up the memory voltage, lower the timings...

DO you have a 8KHA+ by any chance? As their new BIOS has a RAM divider so you can OC to like 200FSB and your RAM is only 150FSB!!!

I unlocked my XP1600 two weeks ago using the superglue\rear window defogger repair kit. Took a few tries due to unsteady hands (damn asthma medication), but I got it. I originally thought I had botched it because on first boot it came up at an 11x multi, a sign of a flubbed bridge job. Further testing showed I was successful. I'm currently at 11x145=1595. It boots nicely at 12x133. I'm still in the process of making adjustments every few days trying different multi vs fsb. I think next I'm going to try 11x140=1610. I'd like to do a volt mod to the mobo and take it higher.

Good Luck and Well Done,

by the way if you want to do a Volt Mod ask Doctor, he's the expert!

See "Get your Volt Mods Here!" in the AMD Motherboards section...

No interested in the current XP's
Im waitin for the .13 micron and thenill play again!

The 2200+ thourough bred is coming out in Feb, its at only 1.65VCore! And its either 1.8Ghz or 1.86Ghz.

And it will go into all existing XP boards.

I don't know if its .13 Micron though, the new Hammers will be though!

Congrats on successfully unlocking your chip! If only I had one to try! ;)
