OK i have a 800mhz AMD Thunderbird
I have a Gygabyte GA-7ZM Mobo
wich doesv't have a Multiplier adjuster
so i have to Alter the bridges on the chip
Have any of you had to do this ?????????
and how the hell can i cut the Bridges if need could i use a regular cutting razor with a new blade and get a magnifine glass and do it that way ????????????
Thank you

I would use a Dremel electric engraver if I were you you can get them at home depot for $18

So your L1 bridges are connected?

Just wondering: do you really want to do this?? A Tbird 800 is not exactly as cheap as a $40 Duron 600. Breaking it would be a damn shame.

Im not sure if my L1 bridges are connected i just want to make sure i know every detail before i start taking thing apart

If your bridges are connected, LEAVE Them that way!

Read Anand's article on OCing with the K7 DDR mobos. Office Boy is right. Your ultimate goal is to have all the L1 bridges connected like this, so don't cut any that already are.

Ya i know to keep them connected if they were allready and if they arent i will connect them so now all i have to do is cut and connect the L6,L3, and L4 brides to match the 950 mhz wich i found from this article at tomshardware http://www6.tomshardware.com/cpu/00q3/000711/amd-04.html
can some one take alook at that and tell me that that the diagram is all right and that all i have to do is Cut and connect the right brides to match the 950 MHZ setting and unlocking my chip if i have to

see, the issue is, jsut because someone else was able to reach a certin speed does not mean that you will be able to reporoduce the setting. Every chip is unique. This is why I consider it a bad idea to proceed directly to physically cutting bridges to get an OC.

At the very least, I think you should see how far you can OC the chip on another motherboard that allows you to adjust themultiplier setting. This way you would at a least start with an idea of how fast your chip is capable of running. However, even if you do this, there is no certainty that your mobo wouldbe as stable as the one that you usedfor testing.
