no.2 pencils only

[whooping_a_panda]

hey i guess im a little behind the times here, but ive never unlocked a amd processor before. i know how to unlock them ive just never done it before, and i was wondering what type of pencil would be best for the 'pencil trick' or wich type of lead (even though its really all just graphite) is the most conductive

Thanks
Jon

I use any no 2 pencil and make sure the point is very sharp and I sharpen it for each bridge. It works on only the t birds and older durons.

yea thanks i was kinda figureing a normal number 2 pencil would work just fine, but you saved me the trouble of getting out the multimeter... and the proc. in question is a 950 tbird... going into a new epox 8k3a+.... hmmmm somthin not right about that...

The pencil trick also works on the newer Durons, I can say for certain up to 1.2GHz.

I have a 950 t bird in my second comp with a asus a7a266 The highest I got it was I believe 1133. Not completely stable though so I was running it at 1055 for a while. To change the multiplier I had to use a combination of manual and jumperfree mode. Definitely run it at 133 mhz fsb. Thats what I have mine at and it runs fine.
