Voltage question about XP's and changing voltage on them

[equalizr]

are the pins that control the voltage on the XP cpu's lazered out like the L1's?

cause i wanna make the default voltage of 1.85..

could you also point me to a guide on how and which pins to connect to do so? thx

bridge guide

I pulled this from one of the stickies in this section.

looks like you can paint the L11 bridges to get 1.85v default.

nothing there telling me there are no lazer cuts on the Voltage bridges.

any other guides?

bridges

The middle L11 is cut on a 1.75v cpu. I would assume that they use the same laser tool to get this done on the assembly line as is used for cutting the L1's. Fill one pit and then connect the bridge with something conductive. You should then get 1.85v.

Thank you...

so by making default voltage of 1.85, will i be able to go higher in the bios?

nope, if your maximum vcore setting in the BIOS is 1.85, setting a default vcore to 1.85 will have no affect, only instead of setting to vcore to 1.85 in the BIOS u'll be able to set it to Default and still run at 1.85volts. Unless your mobo lacks the vcore feature I don't its necessary to do this

Hmm if say you've got 5% 7.5% and 10% settings do you think that setting default at 1.85 would get you more? (KT333 board)

Sorry to hijack thje question
