Default Unlocked AMD ?

Before I install my freshly lapped waterblock, I figured I would unlock my 1800+, after other than the noise thats why I'm doing this ...

Used super glue, let it dry, "carefully" made flat with a knife, painted bridges with silver conductive paint. Damn, my eyesights bad ...

PC boots but no matter what multiplier I choose it says its a 1700+ !!!

I also tried unlocking my 2000+ not as overclockable but what the heck (hey gonna break something, lets do it big styly), it worked fine, though my mobo (a Soltek SL75DRV2) manual seems a bit screwy, the multiplier settings are not whats in the manual. After some guess work, the highest multiplier I can get is 11x (which still falls short of the default 12.5 for a 2000+)

Any ideas ? Have I succesfully unlocked these chips ?
(well obiously not the 1800+ !).

Sorry if this is OT, but I guessed there must be quite a few in here who have done this ...
