Woohoo!!!11

My new xp 1600 just arrived in the mail. It's an AGKGA 9- week 51. Cant wait to see what it can do. I'm not gonna unlock it right away though, I wanna sit on for awhile and fiddle with the FSB.

Gotta run to the hardware store and get some longer screws for my pal8045. (The only way to mount it on my A7m is to use my Golden Socket, that or break out the dremel...hmmm...maybe later.)

I'll fire it up later and see what she'll do at stock voltage by bumpin the FSB. I'll post it here.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!111


Chalk this up to another horror story

I put my system back together, popped in my new chip and mounted my new HS/F and.....NOTHING!

I went over my system, checked everything and what do I find?

2 traces, 2 stinking traces on the MB are severed!

Dang it, I don't know how it happened but I'm p***ed.

Oh well, time to try and get a new board and go post a "how can you fix traces on a MB" thread in the mobo section.

Just ordered an 8kha+

Figured this was as good an excuse as any to get a new board.

I'm still gonna try to fix the A7m though, it's still a strong board, not worth writting off.

Thanks for the tips guys.
