Pencil Lead

[Guest]

What kind of lead has everyone used to OC their Athlons/Durons... I used 2B because it's harder then HB and does not "fade" like HB will. I've done drawings with 2B and HB lead and I find my pics with 2B stay dark for years while HB just seems to fade away. I see people here using HB to unlock the L1 bridges... I used 2B and it worked great.... Duron 750-100 -> 933-133... Snappy!

i don't know about 2B or HB, the lead pencil I used said 0.5mm. My Duron has been at either 950 or 1GHz with no problems for almost 4 months now.

Actually the softer the lead the better just because it has more graphite in it hense more conductive material, but any one will work. People worry about the pencil wearing off- just put a small piece of tape accross the closed bridges and it's permanant until you no longer want it to be.

I still say for $10 a conductive pen is better, especially if you're doing more than just the L1s.
