AMD Pin MOD

MajorMosh · Jan 28, 2004

Hi guys

I have a Palomino 1600+ with mp locked. Since I cant pass over 158FSB I need to drop to mp to 9 or so to raise the fsb.

Does this mod work?? Anyone tryed it so far? Its just as easy as putting a thin wire connecting mobo slot "holes".

If it does, its more easy than connecting the L1s.

Tks for your help!

Hey man.

No, Palominos are factory locked.

Pin mods are for unlocked CPUs that can't post certain multipliers because specific mobos can't post them.

I see

Tks!

So only option for unlocking is the L1s thingie?

tks

Ditto what c627627 said - L1 bridges have to be closed - no alternative wire mod is known to replicate this. BTW welcome to the forums

Look for Palomino unlock in AMD FAQ and on the net.

Palominos have been known not to be able to do high FSBs if if unlocked and even with PC2700 and up RAM that can post higher FSBs.

Not worth the effort since T-Bred B's average 2.3 GHz and are $50 to $60. Ebay the Palomino and add a few $ for a T-Bred B.

Watch out for new factory locked T-Bred B's, get a 2100+ B since we haven't seen a locked one yet.

If you drop the multiplier on a palomino you can goto 210FSB and past. FSB is limited by multiplier and core speed limit, not CPU. This was proven some weeks ago on this forum.

Also limited by the NB heat

bulk88, I believe it was said that it is not true that Palominos can't hit high FSBs but that it is true that unlike Thoroughbreds and Bartons, a much higher percentage of Palominos cannot post higher FSBs no matter what (I was surprised but it does appear to be the case.)
