The new xp cpus are built differently than the Tbirds.
It was discovered with the Tbirds and Durons, that by filling in and connecting the L1 bridges on the cpu, the cpu's multipliers would be unlocked.
This could be done with any electrical conductive material,including a pencil!
With the XP series the same holds true,but with a different twist.
If one where to examine the L1 bridges,it would be noticed that there are deeper cuts in the cpu,and looking at the bottom of the cuts,a fine copper looking mesh exists.
If one where to simply fill the gaps and connect the bridges,as they would do on a Tbird,a funny thing happens,the cpu will short(apparently this doesn't damage the cpu,but prevents any adjustment to the multipliers.
The secret is to somehow coat and fill the gaps with a non-conductive material(epoxy,or as I suggested in another post a non-conductive lacquer)
The lacquer that I suggest is the type that's sprayed on automotive alternators,available at hardware and auto supply stores.
The concept is to cover the copper mesh at the bottom of the gaps,hence isolating the copper mesh and filling the gaps and then connect the bridges with a conductive material.
We can see that the process may be involved and patience must be used.
It is very important that the bridges be connected with no conductive matieral connecting one bridge to another,in other words 4 straight lines.
If one didn't go through all this,an adjustment to the fsb is also possible.
By increasing the fsb,the ratio changes and the cpu would be overclocked.
The disadvantage to fsb overclocking is some hard drives do not take kindly to it and problems can arise.
A gentle approach is best followed.
Increase the fsb one step at a time.
