Overclocking athalon MP 1900

[limitbreaker]

Anybody no where to get a PK golden socket?

Not sure what a PK golden socket is... You're not thinkin' about those old "gold fingers" devices they used to overclock old Slot-A Athlons are you?

 

[limitbreaker]

Yeah thats it, why is there something wrong w/them?
I'm just hopin to find a way to overclock these processors w/out a whole new board ( just got this 1), Do you know where I can get one?


Actually they're not quite the same the PK is for socket processors, but the same idea

IIRC OC'ing the MPs is not that easy.

Please post your full system specs.

I think you can get those Gold plates for the automatic CPU OC from Frozen CPU Look 'em up, I've seen them there.

According to this article:

http://techreport.com/reviews/2001q1/tracetape/

You used to be able to get trace tape to OC Socket A CPUs here:

http://www.plycon.com/index.html

I couldn't find it on their site however or anywhere else...

plycon also used the carry the golden socket but I can no longer find that either

This cached article is the only thing I could find:

Even if you could find the tape or the socket I do not know if it would be worth it given all the trouble you have to go thru.
