L12 mod

[Ytru4u]

just got a dead cpu form a friend that did not OC his 2400 right. my question for every one is:

would a L12 mod work on a dead cpu?

 

[Jeff7181]

If the CPU is really dead, why would any modding of the bridges do anything to it?

 

[Ytru4u]

well when i got the cpu and pluged it into my abit an7, i got a code that says "failed overclock".
now i dont know if he tried to overclock it but this code says failed overclock. after reading a lil about the L12 mod, i was not sure if it could apply to a more than likely dead cpu

 

[Jeff7181]

I guess it can't hurt to try with a dead CPU... but I doubt it'll do anything.

If it doesn't work, you've got the beginnings of a lovely keychain!

why dont you try auto multiplier and fsb 100 before you do any bridge hacking...

Yeah ,maybe the cpu will run if underclocked

 

[Ytru4u]

good ideas, but i can not even get it to post so that i may change in the bios

will try to look for a jumper om my MB if there is even one on my ABIT AN7

Hold down the insert key then power on the computer. That does a sort of safe mode on some newer MBs.

1. put in your old (working) cpu.

2. go into bios, set auto mutliplier and 100MHz FSB.

3. put 'dead' chip in

4. boots then its ok, if not then id say its dead

for it not posting it could be that it is locked and you have the wrong multiplier set, or that the FSB is too high. by testing your old working chip you know that nothing else is at fault either.
