    Can't cut these bridges!

    I've decide to attack my Athlon 850 today - cut all the muptiplier bridges seeing as though this mobo can't alter multi's.

    I'm here with me dremel and some nice fine tipped bits - but the thing will not cut!

    Any suggestions... I know from past experience that etching fluid won't work...

    Cheers,
    Kez.

    What's that - burning the bridges out by overvolting them?

    Yes, it works now!

    Just changed the mult to 9 - now I know this thing can do a gig from fsb mods to I'll set the mult to 10 now...

    Cheers GreenPiggy!

    OK, the first time it didn't work because the battery was a dud.

    However, I found a good battery and stuck some wires on it. I then removed loads of threads from the other end of the wire to leave me with a nice accurate, single strand. I touched one wire to one end the bridge, the other at the other side, and there was a little spark, a hint of smoke, and shazam it was just like it had been cut by a laser!

    edit: Oh and it's at 100x10 now - rock solid by the looks - downloading Sandra to confirm.

    Well I must have either nackered one of the bridge mods or found the limit - becuase 10.5 mult doesn't work. I can't be bothered to set it all up again - so I'll stick with 102x10 (1020mhz) providing it's stable.

    Dunno, the thunderbirds didn't have the third contact under the bridges, and they have a much hardware substrate.
