HELP!!!!!!MEEEEE!!!

[JR6824]

I am not sure, I thought I read somewhere that the slot 1 pentiums had a way to unlock the multipliers. I know this is an old issue but.... Anyway I have some old stuff laying around and I just want to see what i can fry.!!!!!!
If anyone knows of a way to unlock the multipliers i sure would like to know.....
I have some p2 and p3 450's and a couple p3 500's and a few p3 600eb's and a 800eb. and some asus p2bs mobos and some abit be6-2 mobos.
HAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

hmmm...try to google it but from what i know there is no way...



3 386DX-25's...12 volts...glue some ln2 and a wicked amount of overclocking and you get a willamantee minus 36 pins, 33.75 million transistors and a couple hundred mhz...

Nope all P2 and above are locked.

 

[pIII_Man]

not All pII's are locked...most .35micron pII's are unlocked and all .25 micron pII's are locked...

Never heard of such a way... aren't you confusing the Slot 1 with the Slot A (which was/is unlockable)?

As far as I know the rule of Intel CPUs is: if it is locked you can't unlock it.

I'm still wondering how Intel did that though... not during the production of the core I guess (that would be very unefficient), I think the locking of the multiplier is build into the chip housing.

most likely there is an eeprom on the chip...this could be programed by intel at the factory.... It is speculated that by altering the reset signal it may be possible to force a multiplyer...but all of this is specualtion...

It is most definitly built into the core and not the pcb...i was reading an article where they went as far to switch the core, l2, cache and memory controllor from a pentium II 400 to a pentium II 300...and the multi was still 4x...

Whatever the way of unlocking it is...it is not easy and you will probably dammage a few chips before you figure it out...

Interesting... an EEPROM would explain how to get it into the core. Otheriwse they would have to burn a different core for each multiplier.

I'm going to study Electrotechnics on uiversity in Septembre... they got access to equipment ment to make micro-processers and other ICs. It would be a very interesting research to figure out how Intel locks their CPU... and if you can find a way to undo it you will get lots of fame from the PC enthusiast, although Intel will probably be less happy.

actually intel would not care...a minority of the market overclocks...i wana say maybe 2 percent...and i don't think it would be an easy enough mod that mom and pop computer stores would to do to all of their computers...

IMO the only way to change the multi on pIII and p4's would be to find out some specs of the eeprom and what machines intel is using to flash them...you would need to know what pins carry signals to the rom and how they are flashed...it would be dificult and only people with access to these machines could unlock...however you could make tons of $$ if you found out how to unlock them and somehow got your hands on the device that flashes the eeprom's at the factory...you could set up a chip unlocking Biz!

Well, I heard a story about some german company using some logic chip to alter the multiplier on the PII. I know for certain Coppermine core processors like that 600EB and 800EB can't be touched, and you won't find the info you need for the older CPU's.

You have a P2B and a BE6-2. You can overclock most PIII-450's to 600B speed at 2.2v or less. Most P2B boards support a 133MHz bus also, you'll find the info on the web if you search long enough.

As for the 600EB and 800EB, you can get those to 150MHz bus (675MHz and 900MHz) if you have some REALLY solid RAM, on the BE6-II.

I'd buy all your parts off you if you were selling them cheap, I need the money and know where to resell them.

Hmmm... I wonder if you need a special device to flash them. If the pins used to program them are connected with the socket pins you can access it through the mainboard. Then it might be possible to write some reflashing program to alter the EEPROM settings.

It sure would be an interesting graduation project.

lol...i hope you have a lot of spare chips!

Hey... I just start with university this year and it takes 5 years. As soon as I hit the graduation year(s) the P4 will be ancient and I can get some chips for a small price.

I might even be able to find a sponsor.

[pIII_Man]

ya but by then why would you want to?

That would be like me figuring out the multi lock on the .25 micron pII cpu's...not many people would give a $hit...

If i put my k6 in a Ferrari it would be faster than your your pentium 4 or Athlon XP :tongue:

 

[svol]

Do you think Intel uses a new way of locking and storing the multiplier with each chip they bring out? I think they probably still use the first system with maybe some little changes.

So once you figured out how to do it on the P4 it is a small step to do it on other Intel CPUs.
