Someone posted that the crazy glue he used was conductive. Did you test the crazy glue or what ever you used to see if its conductive with a multimeter?

I yet to hear someone that had success with this and I'm very hesitant to try it myself. Hope you get it straighten out.

Why would anybody fiddle with their CPU, as described in the "Plastic Surgery: Releasing the Athlon XP to hit 2000+" THG article. It's asking for trouble.

And for what ? A measly 4% overclock !

It's really easy to do <b>if</b> you have the right tools to do so. As long as you take certain precautions, you'll be fine and have well over a 4% overclock.

Hard work often pays off in time, but laziness always pays off now.

He meant unless you unlock its multiplier, you can only overclock its FSB which is increasing about 4% (I think that what he meant).

:smile: Good or Bad have no meaning at all, depends on what your point of view is.

If the 1800+ can hit 1890mhz, I would not think that the 1900 would not be able to hit the same, and that is more than 4%.
