I don't mean to piss everyone off..........

[Brian Frank 0]

Oh good. I see more people have no life like me.

 

At least we're trying to accomplish something.

 

 

In other worthless news: I successfully overclocked some generic memory with Micro Q or something like that rated at PC133 to 150MHz. Id try more but Ive got the Asus A7V with the KT133 chipset. Since the ol' L1 lead pencil trick didnt work, Im stuck with FSB overclocking 6x113 clock speed ~680MHz.

Just for the heck of it my specs on the sig line.

 

I wonder what beer I'll like. Oh well, I turn 21 towards the end of the year. I can get smashed at the next new years eve party!

what lead pencil trick?

[BaronX 0]

Going on to the 50th page!

[Brian Frank 0]

Oh, you dont know. Okay, its really simple, after you get your processor if you havent yet, or take it out of the system for this. Take a #2 lead pencil and connect the little L1 dots on the Duron/Athlon processor, do this with each pair on the L1's, but nothing else. I saw a picture of it on the web, and it helped me. Its much easier if you can see it. I dont want to go through the hell of getting the HSF off my processor again. I'll probably just cut the band that holds it down when i get a new processor or HSF, probably at the same time.

[Brian Frank 0]

It also might help if I told you what the lead pencil trick is. After you connect the L1 bridges, you should be able to overclock the processor by increasing the clock multiplier along with increasing the voltage.

Even if youve got a mobo with the KT133 chipset on it having a limited FSB manipulation up till only 113MHz before things dont like you, if you combine the two, things will fly. Just becareful, if you screw up your hardware, the manufacturers wont replace anything if they find out you were overclocking it.

[pimpin_228 0]

Oh i see it's like makin a ittl connection

[EddiE314 0]

you have to use the right pencil though, in other words, its the "Poor Man's Trick".

[Brian Frank 0]

Well, that certainly might explain why that trick didnt work for me...just had to use the FSB. I used a mechanical pencil #2 .07mm lead. Should I have used a normal, wood pencil? Duron 600

[pimpin_228 0]

Oh okay you use it like a bridge or something like that

[Four and Twenty 0]

yeah

[EddiE314 0]

don't even try doing it yourself Cody, let me do it, better yet, let me show you how. Brian: you used a #2??? I thought thats what you were suppesed to use...i was gonnna use a #2 Dixon-Ticonderoga Wooden Pencil. well sh1t, i'll get a #2 and #3 and try them both on your processor Cody.

[Brian Frank 0]

Well the trick was supposed to work...but it didnt. Still, there's always the FSB. But with a KT133 board, you really cant push it past 113MHz. And this is on the Asus A7V. Still, thats nothing to laugh at.

Make sure you get some kinda thermal paste, dropped my cpu temp by 10 degrees.

Hope it works.

[clutch 1]

If the "pencil trick" is merely drawing a conductive path between two points, then why not get a conductive pen? You can find them at better electronics stores (usually not at Radio Shack) at they work very well. I used them in the past for correcting burned traces on circuit boards in moderate temperature applications. Shouldn't cost more than $5 US.
