Can you possibly try it in another board?
this would be so awsome if its figured out how to unlock them
This kind of resembles stem cell research, in a way. Us curious people represent the scientists who know that being able to research/experimentstem cells could make break throughs in science and help alot of people, but then there is people with morals, in this case, the man of the hour with the unlocked venice. Not that he has morals, but he has this vital piece of information that could benefit many other people if it were in the right hands, or if he grew some right hands. anyway, i think that you should find a nice guide, take the ihs off, just so you can see everything, and take the pictures, also pictures of the socket to see if there is anything strange!
and about selling it to amd for an fx-57, that would be the most self-centered greedy thing in history! im ashamed!
welcome to xs xfx! is it cuz of me u joined? just admit it. :P
lol, i joined because i was going to ask about v-modding my mobo, but i decided i screw things up easily and soldering isnt for me. ill say its because of you though http://img3.imageshack.us/img3/8307/81649yay25kd.gif
Mr Tinker, think beyond 2 dimensions. The laser cuts the bridges...it MISSED or barely cut one and heating-cooling cycles/manipulating/fondling/handling the chip managed to get the connection re-established AFTER it left the factory.
yeah......maybe it got dropped, even from say 1 inch into the ashtray, rattling just the right part to reconnect a certain something.
i think it needs to be tried in a different motherboard!
and handled with extreme care!Quote:

you first
AS5 isn't conductive...it's capacitive, it will have a different effect.
I'm still game for someone with a Venice to compare it to taking a REALLY close look.
on my s754 setup came some AS5 accidentally, I could buy a s939 setup... it died :(
on topic: :slobber: :slobber: :slobber:
As I earlier said I got a s939 +300. venice.
first it's a crap overclocker (stuck at 2700mhz)
second: locked multi :(
xyus
I tryied my venice in ASUS A8N-SLI Deluxe and it is too unlocked.Quote:

I understand you now. So to paraphrase your previous post, this is what needs to be done to find out how to unlock A64's:Quote:

do you mean the black epoxy I've circled here:

@pirs , where do you live ?
He is from Czech Republic, look at his Location.
(inac Pirs, ja som zo susednej krajiny, mas fajne stastie s tym procakom :D )
english please :p
:)
nvm, you are probably asking if he is from west or east ...
In fact, if some one just compares a 3000+ venice with a 3200+ venice, he would also see a difference, because the have different multiplier, and so people could mod there 3000+ to a 3200+ for exapmle.
But that would be a easy job to do, so I think it might be a little harder then that.
How do we get the epoxy off? It's time to start looking into that.
I'm trying with my IHS free, 30 broken pin 2.66b....it's tough!! (and I have nothing to lose!)
where can we find out what that epoxy is made of and how to dissolve it? Might there be anything that dissolves only the epoxy and nothing else on the cpu? How would you google that epoxy?
