L1 Bridges

[Guest]

I connected the L1 bridges on my Duron 700 with a pencil but the multiplier stays at 7 regardless of what value I enter. I am able to increase the FSB to 112 and run stable at 784, but I want more. Why can't I change the multiplier? MB is Abit KT7.

What type of pencil? Be sure to use an HB pencil, the others might not have enough conductivity.

What is an HB pencil?

 

[Grizely1]

type of pencil. Like there are HB2, HB3, HB4, etc etc.

I think it's the higher the number the darker the lead or something. Just go to the corner store and ask for an HB pencil

How would you be certain that the person working at this corner store won't ask:
"What's an HB pencil?"
Sorry, being a smartass.
Well, it would be better if you have a mechanical pencil, I'm not sure whether it should be HB or 2B, which one has more lead? I used 2B on my Duron 700, but it doesn't go any further than 950.

BTW, if the corner store person doesn't know, just try reading the stuff written on the pencil, it usually says it, if not, go to an art supply store or something like that.

And I believe the scale goes from B6 -> HB -> H6. Which is best, sorry, gotta research that. That's why they have the net, no?

OK, I posted something about this at: http://forumz.tomshardware.com/hardware/modules.php?name=Forums&file=viewtopic&p=626487#626487

To rewrite it,

OK, after doing some research (that's what the net is for! , I've enlightened myself on the subject of pencils, in particular about their electrical conductivity. And I would like to share that enlightment with you, if you don't mind.

First, pencils don't have lead (Pb) in them, it is graphite. All the same, because graphite is a form of carbon, and it conducts electricity.

As to what type of pencil to use when connecting those L1 bridges... from this site http://teenwriting.about.com/teens/teenwriting/library/weekly/aa111700a.htm?rnk=r1&terms=pencil (read the bottom list), I would say, the softer the better. The softer the pencil, the more graphite comes off it.

The higher the x in "xB", the softer the pencil is. The site says that's in European rating, but. I don't know what the rest of the world uses, but well, look for the softest pencil!
