Thread: Unlocking Athlon XP processor

Well, the purpose of the topic is to gather and collect information, opinions, suggestions, reviews of different types and methods for unlocking AMD Athlon XP micros.

The topic is open for Post on methods that are using it.

I know only a relatively well, the rest of the methods are only very little.


Method "of copper wire or hair." Is as you know, combining 2 pair of pins of the processor.

With this mod, the multipliers are as follows in the BIOS of your motherboard.

11x ----> 13x
11.5x -> 13.5x
12x ----> 14x
12.5x -> 21x
13x ----> 13x
13.5x -> 13.5x
14x ----> 14x
15x ----> 17x

For example, if your BIOS choose the 12x multiplier, to save the changes and perform your processor is recognized as an Athlon XP 2200 +, then the Windows or sandra2003, it really appears that these occupy 14x multiplier. This method works well.

Hi

Will be good are the threads of the wire to overclock. And another thing to increase the multiplier only increases the processor speed right?

I personally do not think it's a good idea are, or if you do have to be very professional work, that this comment will you do?, Simply because if it is too "fat" wire with tin and the pressure by putting the processor in the socket and the cooler over, can be off a bit of tin and other pin up with.... and well, and we all know that can happen.

With that type of wire can be done? Is taken out of where? It must be super.

The system of wire, put the wires on the pins and that no more ", or to do something else?

Hello

I applied 4 times as wire, apply draws sparks and you know, processor (which is separate unburned) is supposed to consider whether there might be fixed but if you did not paint and I can not arrange changed but that the wire, I do not like, so I put out 4 times and I am not conventional, the leads, but what someone who knows so much and not copper that.

You seen the cable used for telephone or intercoms?, These fine threads that are hard but at the same time?, That are very good. But you can serve a copper wire and cable for any audio or headphones (to listen to someone on this forum that idea is not bad). Right, put the wires in the pair of pins 2 and ready and turn on the machine, remember the table of multipliers that you have to guide you.

If you want to recommend that you mess with the bios and choose the 12x multiplier, if you have the fsb to 133 would be a athlon1900 +, then turn to the machine with the mod done automatically as the computer starts a athlon2200 +, since the multiplier understood as 14x.

The wire method is more good, but beyond that if they are afraid of being placed on the pins can make under the socket without touching the CPU, my old man did so the bottom of the pins of the socket, the are of course, only the welded wire and ready, unlocked cpu and no problems with goes wire or anything.

I was figuring out other things ... and maybe there is a way of CPUs Barton 333 fsb.... running boards that can not officially support them, despite the fact that they give the fsb 266 MHz max... Theoretically cutting one of the bridges in the L12, would lower the bus 266, but could not be made.

Thanks, I did what I could to try to put the methods found in this and other forums as much as possible explanations, although the topic pass without punishment or glory.

More interesting that you say, listen to that in a Spanish forum, but neither knew anyone with 100% certainty.

Is an alteration of the wire you say, good input, just find it a good idea like the wire but in the socket and with a drop of the droplet is impeccable.

Hi

I do not mean to put wire in the "HOLLITO" socket, but the back of the board can see pin them together by welding wire, I referred to it without using the droplet.

If you understand the idea in the first post that you put, it's another method to put him drop further as alternative. I like this method of welding, but with my good and my pulse inevitable usual chance that I actually fed the plate, so when you learn to weld like people.

Maybe I can help, I've never understood that at least AMD xp1600 mine says 266 have a clock in the bios but it appears as 133, and also lets me get to 266.

Thanks

On your first post, tell me that's not clear, the pictures are super clear on the matter, only how many positions are those in which unions and do the same pins on your processor, I see no more complications.

On this last post, this confused bus for your system is @ 266 MHz, but the FSB is 133. The bus is the athlon 2xFSB.

Greetings

Hi

Consultation, with the "wire", there are some risks to the physical processor? Wave to burn or not mm danger?

As yet there is risk, but the risk here is that you put the wrong wire, and that this release will touch another pine, that if there athlon, but if you do not have problem is a good method.
