nice find !!! you have been doing some hunting that looks to damn easy tho just as well ive got a unlocked 2500xp barton
which is doing a nice 11.5x204 fsb @stock 1.65v

[bluephi1914]

does this actually work ????

and i thought that Bartons were already unlocked

[CrapshoT]

pre week 40 bartons are unlocked after that theyre supposedly locked and zak33 a major player on the forums tried this theory out to proove that they are locked check it out

that is actually insane, would be nice if they could make a one to unlock intel cpus , luckily my t-bred is unlocked on my mobo, tho i imagine that this will solve anyone with a week 40+ barton... is there a price anywhere on that site? i couldnt see one, but i was more interested in reading how it worked

mark

edit : price is $15 USD, dunno if there are any uk vendors?

i got my barton 2500 @ 14x145 @6'6 =2030 mhz

buy the way i have a week 30 something dont no off hand think its 37

that speedstrip thing is just the same as the wire mod... so far wire mod and bridges wont unlock the week 40+ bartons...

Not Wishing to be rude, but Planetside, if you want to stick up a load of pictures boasting about your overclock, why dont you start a new thread? It haas nothing to do with unlocking post week 40 bartons m8!

Easy now, F

Link didn't seem to work for me, anyway I haven't had chance to read but here's some more info ...

If it is nothing/little more than a wire/pin trick then it won't work on the super locked Bartons, it still seems a mystery how AMD are locking them but it is most likely a pretty internal / structural change. As an additional note there are plenty of 38 & 39 Bartons that are locked, only pre 38 week seems certain (?) to be unlocked, chances of being unlocked are tiny with 40 & 41 chips and anything above that will surely be well locked. Buy carefully.

ok, how do you know if your chip is locked or unlocked. i have a barton chip i purchased about 2 months ago....

Otherwise, you can read this thread first before you pop off your heatsink and check out your CPU stepping.

Yup all you need to do is try using another multiplier (pref lower so you know your CPU isn't limiting things) and see if it sticks, may need to set it twice before it sticks on some occasions. Also it is feasible that some multipliers are locked while others aren't. Finally most mobos don't understand the 5th FID bit and as such are limited to a max 12.5x multiplier and can have probs if the stock multiplier is higher. You can check the CPU visually but only as a rough guide, if the manu date is before week 38 2003 (coded 0338 etc) then it's almost certainly unlocked, as you get closer to week 40 chances become slimmer and after week 42 it seems practically all are super locked.

ok, i snapped a picture of my AMD 2500,





does this mean that i have a unlocked chip?

[[GSV]Trig]

I'm guessing if u have one of the uber locked new chips this wont work as I tried the wiremod on a Thornton2400 and it wouldnt work...

[bluephi1914]

so the date means nothing ?

[Sibu]

you have un unlocked chip dude
0331 = Year : 2003 week: 31

and chips have only been locked since wk 40 ish
