Johan De Gelas van Ace's Hardware heeft een uitgebreid artikel geschreven over het kopen en overklokken van de Athlon. Naast wat algemene info over de voltages, het stroomverbruik en de weeknummers van de diverse Athlon cores worden er twee Gold Finger Devices besproken, de TweakPlug van hwlab.de en de Powerchips PowerCharger. De conclusie van het verhaaltje:
The Athlon is an excellent overclocker, and thanks to the Golden Fingers card it is much easier now to squeeze a bit more speed out of it. Simply open the case, plug the card onto the Athlon's golden fingers, flip a few switches and the full power of the Athlon breaks lose!Take a bit of time to choose one of the best Athlon's available (650-750 0.18 micron) and you will enjoy much more overclocking pleasure. Don't exaggerate, do not use more than 1.9V, and if you want to be absolutely safe, don't use more than 1.8V. We hope we have given you a little help to get more speed out of this this seventh generation overclocking wonder. Stay tuned for more.
