Nope. You just switch multipliers range. From 5x - 12.5x to 13x - 20x
That’s pre palomino heritage in most via boards, where poor bios programming cant handle the fifth multiplier bridge.
To go back to the lower range you need to paint it back, or there’s a mobo wire trick that allows quick changes without taking out the processor, but it needs to be cut first.
It's all the explanation on the link I posted, But it's not on an easy to understand language. Tomorrow I can look at it and post the key info.
Nahh, wtf I'll dig it now....
Here it is:
"Or connect a single wire from Socket A pin AJ27 to a 100 ohm resistor screw grounded to external case,"
So that is, with this mobo mod U could use the full multiplier range.
You can solder it to a mobo ground with a switch, for a more pro setup.
Note: this only enables the lower range on a higher rated chip, does nothing for a lower one as yours. So you still need to first cut the last L3.
