What should I use besides solder ? I dont want it going all over the place.

Any other suggestion ? Also wouldn't the Solder melt since the CPU does get pretty hot.

What should I use to cut the bridge ?

Thanks.

I'm sure the folks in the CPU/Processors and Overclocking forum could tell you all you wanted to know.

These unlocking kits do work.

Solder would be really, really tough because the line you need to make is no more than a millimeter in width, probably less.

Cutting bridges is pretty difficult, from what I hear.

It's only a 30 dollar CPU, but it's one with really high potential. like 2.1ghz potential.


Plus the Thing is going into a shuttle system. so space is very limited

I tried a trace repair kit. I failed several times. So did hdeck. It's very difficult. We never got our CPUs unlocked. It was so easy in the pencil trick days.

I went to the local auto parts store and bought a rear window defroster repair kit. Worked well for me.

I used the 12v line on my PSU to "cut" the bridges on my old 1ghz morgan.
