Unlock Conroe Core 2 Multi. Using Intel 975BX!!!

[The Nemesis]

Try the original bios shipped with the rev 304 board. He didn't say anything about which bios was used but it may have some effect I hope

Maybe it's 302 exclusive. Nemesis, did the rep use a 302 or 304?

Couldn't it also be that he is using some kind of engeniering bios of some sort?

That would sound logic to me.

I don't know, the question wasn't asked by myself or others. I assumed it was the 304 since the 302 doesn't support Conroe. Hopefully some of the others that continued to ask questions after I left will post some better results on this or other sites. I myself am still gonna give it a try after I pick up a board & cpu. I'll grab both boards and see.

What cpu did he use?

[DaWaN]

Maybe it's just for X6800..... That's what i'm thinking

Marketing Rep, I think you have your answer right there

[Supertim0r]

when i'm done with the P5W DH, i'll try your mod on my bad axe

[The Nemesis]

What stepping cpu's do you guys have? Maybe it works on the earlier/later steppings. I don't think he was untruthful, there just may be to variables I'm not aware of.

Maybe a jumper needs to be on it...as in pins sticking through the board. There might be an anti-conductive coating or something on the pads.

[GOESA]

Or maybe it's just the ES CPU's ?

It is an interesting point on the board, does have a 'testing' appearance to it.

[ea6gka]

what are these holes for?

[K404]

Mounting holes for a 2-pin header/jumper possibly.

If Intel suddenly let that slip....they`d lose a LOT of money, so I`m not sure if this is true

True but shipping the boards with a bios that prevents it would quickly solve it, which they may have already done.

I hope you guys aren't shorting these points. That silkscreen is for a capacitor not installed on the board and that would short some supply voltage directly to ground.

FCG or Fugger could probably confirm if it work or not

edit : hehe...FCG replied before

[freecableguy]

To your right big guy. Those are the ones.

lol, that is most certainly not for a header. those are SMD pads for either 1) a resistor, or 2) a capacitor.

i have a REALLY hard time even entertaining this idea. Intel CPUs have been locked internally for a number of years now. internal "fuses" are blown in a frequency divider ladder inside the core to prevent "locked" multipliers from being selected. no BIOS/MB hack will ever change this.

MFG JMP..Manufacturers Jumper?

MFG JMP..Manufacturers Jumper?

That's what it looks like to me too...

[G H Z]

If you ask me it's obviously for some kind of lead to 'plug' into the board, not unused SMD's, especially with they way it's marked.

sooo if I connected those pads and the board still works fine should i expected it to stop working shortly?

In the first post he says jump MFG and JB4. I see MFG and J8 J4 in those pics. Something aint right.

[Charloz24]

I don't get the point why this thread is rated 5 stars if nobody could get the mod to works.

I seriously doubt that a simble mod like that would unlock multi upward

Another of my mistakes, I'll correct the first post. Remember I don't own this board, I've only seen it @ Fry's and the Quakecon Intel Demonstration. I'm still having hope the mod works, as I still don't think the rep lied to a crowd of hundreds of people. This will get figured out, and I fully believe that if it can happen xtremesytem members will figure it out. That's why I posted here
