What'd I do?

I recently pulled my HS off of my Athlon t-bird socket to clean and lap. After doing so I had lower temps so decided to try to give it a boost. Well the boost failed and when I finally got access back my multiplier and FSB had been reset, no big deal, except when I went to crank my multiplier back up (unlocked with pencil) it wouldn't budge. I tried cleaning the pencil off and reconnecting, still no go. Everything else is working fine though, what happened? (Can still adjust FSB)

Try to re-pencil. Its possible that with the HS reinstall you ruined your original pencil job and your second pencil job is bad. Simply reapply.

"Fogger" paint..or "Silver laquer"..

I was never a big fan of the pencil method.

a trace pen would be my best suggestion.

Well it's fixed now.

What could have happened...

I lapped the core a little before I had the problem, I think I may have rubbed some of the pencil off. After having the problem I removed the pencil, perhaps some oil from my hand was still on and there wasn't a good contact. Popped it out tonight, washed it down in alcohol and re-penciled it. Works now.

Thanks again
