| 11872 | 2001-04-27 08:18:00 | I have a Athlon 1000 B chip, and I understand that this chip is supposed to be running at 100 MHz FSB. However I know that I would be able to get a better performance if I unlock it, set it on 7.5 and set the FSB to 133 MHz. If I do this, will I be overclocking my processor?? and Will it harm my processor?? | Guest (0) | ||
| 11873 | 2001-04-28 04:11:00 | Hi Jeff, I presume by unlocking it you mean with a graphite pencil line or similar technique? If this is sucessful, then no, you won't be overclocking your processor. As for harming you processor, I guess it depends on how good a job of unlocking it you do. For example, if the join were to intermitantly break and flick the multiplyer lock on during operation then I suppose it could be nasty. |
