Socket 939 Athlon 64 voltage pinmod

[Steve]

OCInside.de is a site that seems to be worth a mention every once in a while, when they come up with a new interactive guide to help out overclockers. They've been doing it since the days of the early Athlons, and their latest guide helps you pinmod your socket 939 chip to bump up the voltage.

In the version 1.0 it's like in the previous AMD SocketA Pinmod guide necessary
to connect different CPU pins with small wires.
The result is awesome, because it's possible to increase the CPU voltage (also on PC startup)
to 1.550 Volt, which is enormously important to get high overclocking results.
Depending on the Motherboard it's even possible to get a Vcore of 1.900 Volt !

Weird, CPU-Z was telling me consistently the Vcore was around 2.5V until i fitted a new heatsink.
