Brad · 03-04-2002, 07:29 PM

if you have good cooling and it was a late model athlon 950, then yes, but early 950's don't like much above 1150

cristoff · 03-04-2002, 08:00 PM

mines goes to 1170 fine.... but i was going to unlock it then put the fsb up... cuz i have ddr333 ram kingmax tinybga...

its probably late model athlon 950

AMD ATHLON THUNDERBIRD 950MHz Socket A PGA - OEM 200MHz FSB Model#: THUNDERBIRD 950MHz

thats 123mhz fsb, at that speed your pci devices may be playing up, unlock it, and try running at 9 x 133, which is 1200mhz, see what your temps are and your voltage

cristoff · 03-05-2002, 05:04 PM

thanks man... i will try that... do you know... where i could find a reputable quide of doing that?

Brad · 03-05-2002, 06:39 PM

unlocking it? overclockers.com has heaps of guides on it

cristoff · 03-05-2002, 08:38 PM

I already tried they have no pics or not really that great of guides man.. Plus i tried what they said with the mechanical pencil.. no worky... hmm...

Brad · 03-05-2002, 09:52 PM

just try it again with a pencil, you probably screwed it up some how

cristoff · 03-06-2002, 10:37 AM

well... i saw the bridges and they were covered... i will just try a different pencil i guess... even though thats what they said to use

shroomer · 03-12-2002, 10:07 PM

Please don't use a pencil. Overclockers just put up an article on various ways to unlock an XP. Most of the principals are the same. It's just easier. I STRONGLY reccomend rear window defogger paint that is in a repair kit found at about any local auto supply store. Even if you get your pencil job to work it will eventually stop working. If you do it with the paint it will last ... we'll say a lot longer.

There are also silver trace repair pens available. These are more expensive, but might be more handy.

Just be careful not to cross the bridges as that would rupture the space-time continuum.

yeah wouldnt want that... so rear defogger window repair kit... okay... cool....
