AMD 1.2 Athlon (vcore help)

[butters]

Trying to overclock my AMD 1.2 Athlon. I have got it to 1.3, but i need to raise my vcore. The other thing is that i cant raise my vcore though my BIOS. Is there any other ways that i can raise my vcore? its at 1.7 at the moment. plz help ...

hmmmm... i remember you could do it on the chip, like connecting the L1 bridges to unlock... it'd give you like 1.85V Vcore. i _think_ you have to connect the L7 bridges but i'm not sure

update: i've verified it: you have to connect the L7 bridges - this will give you 1.85V Vcore

kby connecting the l7 bridges u mean??.. soz man i am a real nooby to this stuff

[Hellraiser]

yeah just like you prolly connected all of the L1-bridges /w a pencil, you'll have to do the same thing to the L7-bridges.

and do make sure you have adequate cooling - raising Vcore will cause the cpu to dissipate more heat...

what's your temps? and what HSF are u usin?

[butters]

as i said i am n00b. my temps are 37 idle. i didnt connect the L1 bridge.. so what do i do to L7 bridge? HSF means what?

[Hellraiser]

HSF = HeatSink & Fan

what temp do you get on full load?

to unlock your CPU(thus being able to select another multiplier) you'll need to connect all of the L1-bridges which are located on the chip itself.
Looks like this

L1 :::::

when you're done it should look like this

L1 |||||

same goes for the L7's if you wanna push Vcore up to 1.85V

my fan is a Coolermaster EP5-6I5I. Full load i think i get about 45-48. my cpu came unclocked buddy. i will trty to do what u said and ask when i cant do it.. lol

update: can i make it just 1.8?

[butters]

yeah, leave the 2nd L7 bridge open to get 1.8V...

that coolermaster's not very good
I'd get a better HSF for oc'in.

anyways, make sure your temps never exceed 60°C

i cant find the L7 bridge can u tell me where it is?
im on my laptop

It's on the CPU, just under the core. Sorry for the bad pic, my camera can't focus on small things like CPU's

[butters]

so how do i connect them.. plz give me some help

[butters]

all i see. is this **** small L7 and ****ing tiny switches.. wtf do i do to them?

Take a 0.5 or 0.7 graphit pencil and connect them, from :::: to ||||

[butters]

arr got my fans working... my vcore is at 1.85 now thanks 4 all ur help pplz. **** i love this forum

[butters]

my idle temp is 37 too. This is great i have taken my cpu up to 1.4 easy

[NeXuS]

nice OC. my 1.2 makes 1.5 easily but the temps get kinda high sometimes with my volcano 9, high is about 50, 55C. glad yours came unlocked, that makes it easy and lets you adjust the multi as well.

[butters]

any one know if you can up the multi on the cpu?? instead of bios

[Micutzu]

It is done from the L3 and L4 bridges , but i can't tell you right now the exact connections to get a certain multiplier .

[butters]

yeah. i found out how to its using the L6.
Multiplier Value / L6 Setting
12.5 = . : : I I
12.0 = . I : I I
11.5 = . : I I I
11.0 = . I I I I
10.5 = . : : : :
10.0 = . I : : :
9.5 = . : I : :
9.0 = . I I : :
8.5 = . : : I :
8.0 = . I : I :
7.5 = . : I I :
7.0 = . I I I :
6.5 = . : : : I
6.0 = . I : : I
5.5 = . : I : I
5.0 = . I I : I
