Ok guys,
I'm almost feeling comfortable enough for something like this, but I am still confused.
I have an Abit BH6 1.1+MSI slotket 2.3 master
The ONLY thing I know to do so far (on my MSI slotket 2.3) is to nailpolish the following pins:
"AN3", " AJ3" and " AK4 ".
This is the first step, and probably the only one that I can do easily (if I can get nail polish ON the pins in the first place !!).
What is the best way to get the nail polish on these pins, without getting any on the other pins? (remember, I have never SEEN anyone do this in person, of course so I don't even really know the motions....) And is this the correct way to insulate the pins?
I saw some people talking about IDE cable plastic... why is this better instead of nail polish? (I prefer the nail polish trick for now, at least).
The 2nd thing I need to do apparently, is wire AM34 to AK36.
What does this do ? Is it necessary, and what will happen if this is NOT done? Also, what if the wire happens to touch ANY OF THE OTHER pins around this one? won't this short the chip?
The THIRD thing I apparently need to do is wire AK 4 to AK26
What will happen if I do *NOT* do this step? What does this step do, anyway? What is the best way to do this, WITHOUT shorting something? That's a lot of pins that must be crossed....it looks like something can go wrong VERY Easily !
Do I have to risk removing the IHS ? (I really don't want to as I've never done it before).
I also saw another way listed: which might be simpler, AND it gives 1.65v default voltage to the chip, which is good for overclocking
this one involves the insulation of the 3 above pins (AJ3, AN3, AK4), and then wiring the following 4 pins together: AM34, AL35, AK36, and AL37), without doing the AK4 to AK26 long wire. Is this step reliable?
What is the best way to wrap the wires? and again, is there any danger of the wires moving and short circuiting the wrong pins after putting the chip inside the slotket ?
Also, does slotket OR BIOS voltage adjustment do absolutely **NOTHING** at all after this mod?
Again, thanks for any help. Remember, I am a newbie to this: i've NEVER done anything like this before, but am almost feeling comfortable enough to do it.
Hope you can read this carefully and answer carefully for me, one step at a time
