I've had my 1600+ since Decemember, but I've just got the cash to buy a new case /w something better than 200 watts (I'm guessing I've been pushing it?) and also hopefully buying a Arkua 7228 HSF so I will be able to do some serious (for me anyway) overclocking.

Since my chip is green like the 2100+, do I need to use the 2100+ method (don't want to).

Thanks

What are you asking, if your chip is the kind with the groove between the bridges? Why yes, it is.

What's the frequency, Kenneth?

I have the same XP1600 as yours. Make sure all L1 bridges are connected by using any XP unlock kit.

Yeah, I was just asking how I would go about unlocking it, if I would have to use the 2100+ method or the method for the brown ones.

thanks

That method only applies for XP2100 only. Yours'd still be the same as Thunderbird.

You may be a bit confused. Read the article again.

Just to point out, the method for the green chips is exactly the same as the brown one(organic packaging) which differs from the old ceramic method.

Alright thanks everyone... hopefully I get my new case /w a bunch of fans so I can do some unlocking/unclocking.

Reply to fireflayer

agreed, the green and brown palmonios are the same chips and thus require the same methods to unlock them...

I have green one as his, and I did the same as my Thunderbird 1G (connect L1 bridges, that's all). The only difference is voltage manipulation L7 bridges on Thunderbird now is L11 on XP.

Already had the link. We were discussing L1 bridging.
