Are Durons still overclockable, w or w/o conductor pen tricks? Curious...

Just wondered if AMD got pissed off enough to deprive users that's all.

Amd hasn't taken the pins out yet as far as anyone knows. So, Yes, you can still overclock them.

wow, wviperw!
Overclocking really makes a difference to your scores!
You're right, SIII is kind of shiity. You overclocked your chip with just a pencil? Didn't know it really worked!

It works, although there is some doubt about the durability of the lead. Works fine for testing, but i would advise using something a bit better to finish off (like a defogger repair kit)

You think it makes a difference in my scores? You should see someone's scores who actually has a good video card. The numbers will be jumping off the screen...

Yea, I just used a .5mm mechanical pencil. I practiced a few times and made sure I didn't connect anything that I wasn't supposed to.

Wow, I lurve this idea of using my 0.5mm 2B clutch pencil to overclock a Duron by 300MHz!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
If only I had a damn motherboard for socket A I damn well would. Nuts!
