A little bit of background first. My rig is an A7N8X with a 2400+, Corsair XMS2700, and a Truepower 380. Since I first got this system, the multipliers below 13 were unusable. The system would not post when I did try one of these. I had tried every bios that was out there including the betas to try to unlock these multipliers, but had no success. So, knowing that it was necessary for the bridge to be shorted, that is to have little resistance between them, to adjust the multipliers freely, I took out my multimeter to take some measurements and powered down the unit. Looking at the socket's PCB at LostCircuits.com, I measured the resistance across the two solder points indicated in that picture. This technique is similar to connecting the 5th L3 bridge or using the wire trick in the socket.
The result was 735 Ohms. Now that isn't exactly open or short, but it could very well be the cause of my problems. If anyone thinks that my conclusion isn't valid or wants to comment on my assumptions or process, be free to do so. I posted this to get you opinions, so let me have them. Peace.
