Unlocking the XP looks tedious

[Executor]

I just got my XP in the mail today, and that thing is damn small. What is the best way to unlock this beast? The THG way looks a bit iffy in my opinion. Wouldnt the repeated lifting of the tape take the silver lacquer off, and what is with that huge brush? Anyone know of any better ways? Thanks.

Yes, THG left out some important details in their instructional video, mostly to keep file size down. You will have to do this to all the bridges, and the Laquer should be solid and tape shouldn't be able to remove it, provided that you have given it sufficent time to dry.

Yes, those bridges are dang small! I couldn't believe how small they were when I saw them.

LOL. Wait until u start filling those bridges...even worse ! I personally woundn't wanna mess up those expensive CPU. O/Cing using FSB is great anyway.

the THG way is a pain, and i don't like to take knives near processors. do this: 1) buy a cheap grocery store magnifiying glass. 2) tape edges of the bridges so that only the gap is exposed. 3) using a toothpick and some white out, fill in the gaps (use the magnifying glass to see what you are doing). make sure the gaps are totally filled and level with the organic substrate. 4) use a pencil, or crazypc unlocking epoxy, etc, to bridge gaps. voila. i've seen it done, and it takes 10 minutes.
