Sempron 2400 + conductive silver = Athlon XPM :)

[mattthemuppet]

just (nerve wrackingly) managed to do this on my Sempron socket A chip

Pics here. Tried to post pics but I couldn't figure out why they didn't appear in the preview

Multiplier unlocking was done by scraping the edges of the pit breaking bridge L5 [2], half filling it with modelling putty (I know I know) and then painting over the top with conductive silver paint.

multiplier changes are now available in CrystalCPUID, which seem to be real by CPU-Z, but sadly my MB doesn't allow undervolting, so it was a rather futile exercise Still, worth finding out if it was possible though

I'm glad that it is working ok.

Why didn't you use pencil method, that I showed you in your previous post?

It didn't worked?

If you want to undervolt you have to pin mod your processor:

according to ocinside amd pinmod interactive guide:
http://www.ocinside.de/go_e.html?/html/ ... inmod.html
you have to connect 2 pins (a view from the pin side of the cpu) and cut some bridges (info @ coinside.de):



It is not a big deal since you voided your warranty already

Hi Verion,

I just did it this was as I'd heard that the pencil trick sometimes didn't work and I thought this might be neater

thanks for the pinmod tip, I'd been wondering about that. I'll check it out and see what happens. Fingers crossed my run of "not blowing up my processor" will continue!
