Unlock P4 multiplier

[Guest]

I found a China site posted an article regarding their experience and method of unlocking the multiplier of Intel P4. They discovered it by accident and successfully unlocked a P4 1.6GA and run it at 2.4G (100*24). They further overclocked the FSB to 130MHz which result an amazing P4 3.12G (100*130).
Their method is to short 4 pins. Sorry I can't post any pictures.

Too bad there's no way for them to prove it. Anyone want to give it a shot? I don't :tongue:

Apparently you all didn't translate the article. By using babble fish, you would see on the last page, it saying it is an April fools joke. I was hoping though that it was true, but alas it is just a joke.

That figures. I was too lazy to go and read the datasheet to find out what those pins actually did. I hope nobody shorted out their processor doing that.

Too bad it was a joke, it would have been great news for al those P4 overclockers (not me I have a XP).
