Hello All
As the subject refers, i would like to get my CPU's multiplyer unlocked. I am unable to change the multiplyer or the FSB from the BIOS. Though i am able to oc the ram by changing the latency timings but nothing with the processor.
Going through other oc posts i came across the pencil trick for J5 on the AMI bios. This trick makes the processor to be detected as a mobile one and further the multiplyer can be set through CPUMSR/CPUID in windows. But the soultion was made for only for old Socket A processors, but not for Palermo. This processor looks similar to the new ones like Athlon 64, Optron etc. Guess pencil tric is way to old for these processors.
I searched everywhere but still unable to find a solution to unlock the multiplyer or FSB. Hearing about people drawing 2.2GHz, i feel im way to behind.

For more details here goes CPUz's dump :-

I hope there must be a way to get this baby a bit higher.
Looking forward for a solution.

My fault, Hyper Transport no supported by this processor, on other form saw a guy post HTT values for Sempron 2500+ got a bit excited lol.. Thnx anyways.
 
what?? htt is amd's fsb... just crank up the htt a little and shove a divider on your ram... or go to ram settings and change the mhz from 200 to something lower..
 
isnt the only amd with unlocked multiplier with FX, but i also heard there are some where u can unlock them urself.
 
i also thought the only cpu's that had an unlocked multiplier was the fx range. it would b good if others could b unlocked as u wouldnt need a ram divider.
 
Unlocking the multiplier on the traditional die exposed cpu was a mod. You'd connect the L1 bridges and away you go.
 
Guess there aint any hardware mod that can be done on these new CPUs. But the question is, how people are able to oc opteron? Or is it just in talks? What about Athlon 64, even its locked..
OC old PIIIs or those Thunder ones was always easy, but what the heck shall be done with these new ones?
