    What materials do you guys use to unlock your XP processors? I can't afford an unlocking kit so can anyone either sell me some of the liquid silver-fluid or recommend a cheap (preferably household) substance which will work just as well...

    this is a bit fiddly but find some stranded wire (with really small strands, like an IDE cable for example) and get a few of the strands and tape them on.

    I know this might sound like a ridiculous question, but you do just have to connect the L1 bridge don't ya?

    dammit, i thought you could just connect the L1 bridges and then leave your motherboard to do it for ya... :waah: i don't even know what speed i want this to go anyways, wanted some R+D to do (without going through taking off the HS+F then drawing on the thing with a pencil...)
