Intel CPU Stickies (condensed)

Re: Intel Multipliers...

The trace that's cut on the CPU to lock the multiplier is on the die and thus cannot be connected. Some Intel Engineering Samples come unlocked, but to get one you would have to work at Intel as they are considered Intel property for 3 years I believe. Sale without the permission of Intel is illegal. [/B]

And where is it on the die? How does it look like?

I should specify. It is inside the die, and microscopic. An Intel blueprint would have more information on the exact placement of the trace, but suffice it to say that it's not unlockable, at least not by practical means.

 

[Wardog]

Thx for info. I have to ask what is Intel blueprint and where can I find it please?

Microscopic, bad news for me

You might have luck downloading a .pdf file from Intel which might have some information, but doubtful. Most of the really precise blueprints are classified.

I really don't think it's possible. Not only would you have to have some really expensive equipment but you'd have to know the layout of that processor like the back of your hand.

Multipliers cannot be unlocked on Intel CPUs!

yep, my unkle who works in Intel's r & d fab has an unlocked chip, lucky *******

yes, that would be called an Engineering Sample (or ES for short) and they dont (well are not ment to) leave the possesion of Intel/ people working on intel products (hardware makers/testers ect)... And even if yo have an ES chip, it is still property of Intel...
Also may ES chips are made with A1 silicon (alpha) and can contain errors/bugs (or errata as the hardware world likes to call it) and tend not to be the best overclockers....
But all in all, they would be fun to play with

"Vid-Pin Wrapping the Tualatin Celeron"

In *link removed for prosperity* picture it appears that the wire does not run a risk of touching the other pins (NOTE: this was not a picture of my own wrapping ).

Has anyone actually clicked on this link. **** seller j/k, but really it is.I was reading about the post checking out the links and this has....well it's not harsh porn but some dating thing.Hey jazztrumpet216 you might want to think about changing that URL.Well it was good for a chuckle.Got my mind off the upgrade stuff for a minute there.

[/B]

See, that's why people need to proofread my stuff...

Unfortunately that's not my link, this thread is a compilation of 4 or 5 stickies that I combined into one. A long time ago the forums had that .ws URL I think, since then it looks like someone squatted on it. Oh well, it'll go bye-bye if I can't figure out where the article is now.

EDIT: Got it fixed.

 

[Sir Golitech]

Hey No prob.

 

[JaY_III]

still hvae to fix the link in the "quote"
feel free to del this once fixed

does it matter what kind of motherboard that you use, because i have an emachines t2042 with a 2GHZ processor. it has an imperial GL motherboard, AKA trygin

 

[jazztrumpet216]

Most of these techniques outlined in the sticky here will work with any motherboard- however emachines computers are usually fairly neutered as far as overclocking options go. I don't think you'd have any luck overclocking through the BIOS.

YOUR MOTHERBOARD IS THE MOST IMPORTANT PART OF ANY OVERCLOCKED COMPUTER

Yes it does matter what kind of mothreboar you use.
if you buy a no-name bottom of the barrel board, you wont get much stability when overclocking. Nor any overclocking features like jazztrumpet216 said.

All and all, you get what you pay for. And if you plan on doing any overclocking, you really shouldnt try to skimp out and save money on the motherboard.

This is one of the most important things that's been said in this thread so far.

dose anyone have the VID pin layout and voltage modifications for my 478 willamette core stepping D0

 

[JaY_III]

all socket 478pin CPU's have the same Vid pins and work the same way....

so just look at the Northwood examples in this thread.
But if you still wana have a look at the datasheet for yourself, look here

Hi all!
Im new here and just find out this stick. This so helpfull. Ive tried following you . But it didnt work on my PC. It seem POST. But monitor black without any signal. though HDD led red. So I had to back to default. what can i do now ? I use Willamette 1.6G and Albatron PX 865PE
Thanks alot!

 

[batboy]

The Willamettes have a 1.75v default vcore. The only VID pin that is not internally connected is VID2. Wire that to either VID1 or VID3 for a modified 1.85v vcore. It's actually easier to connect VID4, VID3, and VID2 all together.

Just like AMD, Intel has their own employee store. In which, they sell their Engineering Samples for dirt cheap. I remember having an AMD K6-2 500MHz for $25 (when it was $150) that ran around 750MHz... heh.

So therefore, it is being sold to the person buying it. It isn't like people steal all these ES or something...

I highly doupt that. K6-2 running at 750MHz...
Frozen CPU then?? oh and what does this have to do with the INTEL STICKY?
