Unlocking/Overclocking 2200+

[Chameleon425]

I have a Athlon 2200+ Thoroughbred 'A'. I'm kind of confused when it comes to unlocking the CPU because there are multiple ways for both the A and B core. Since all the L1 bridges are closed I believe that I should be able to change the multipliers in the BIOS without any problems, but as soon as I change them my computer won't boot. Is the CPU already shipped unlocked or do I need to connect the 5th L3 bridge like in the Barton? If I do need to connect the 5th L3 bridge then is the wire loop method the same as connecting the 5th L3 bridge using a conductive pen? I've also seen some people connecting the L1 bridges which doesn't make sense because they are already connected when shipped. I'd just like a little clarification on this topic before I fry my chip. Also, if you have some good settings that have worked for you please share.

Thanks in advance!!!

It should be unlocked for all high end multipliers, in other words 13x and above. But if it is the first batch of T-bredsA I'm not so sure if they can be unlocked at all.

I love my Delta 60HP 7000 RPM fan that puts out more dB then CFM
