AMD Duron overclocking project (English Version)

I'm going to keep this part of the article rather technical, if you don't understand it, it's better to ask someone with more experience in soldering to do it for you. So what should be done, without all the theory?

When you assemble the following part on a piece of experiment board (a board full of holes), then all you have to do is to connect a few wires. The first 4 jumpers are for BP_FID, the second set of 4 jumpers are for FID, and the third set is for VID, but you probably won't need to use this because most mainboards already come with voltage-tweaking capability.


After assembling this you connect a bunch of small wires on that middle/upper row of contacts. Then it gets slightly hard: You have to de-assemble the socket so that the cap comes off, and then you can solder the following pins out of the socket: W1, W3, Y1 and Y3. If you also want to install voltage-tweaking, repeat this for pins L1, L3, L5, L7 and J7.

The wires that come from your jumperboard should be connected, from left to right, on the following points under the socket on the mainboard: AL25, AN25, AL27 and AN27, then Y3, Y1, W3 and W1, and if you wish to install voltage tweaking also on J7, L7, L5, L3 and L1. After that you have to connect the 0V and 3.3V connectors of the jumperboard on the ATX power supply connector, and you're ready!

The table with settings for both BP_FID and FID is as follows

All these adventures result in this situation:

1 = BP_FID. After connecting the L1 bridge this cable is connected under the mainboard.
2 = FID. This cable is connected to 4 pins under the socket.
3 = VID: Voltage adjustments. This also should go through the backside of the socket.
4 = the power supply of the jumperboard. For this 3.3 Volt should be taken of the ATX-Power supply.
