AMD Athlon XP/MP Total Multiplier Controller


Need-to-Know: Now you don't need to paint the L3 bridges with a silver pen or cut the L3 bridges with a penknife on your Athlon XP processor in order to adjust multipliers. XP-TMC total multiplier controller can help you to do the job without any mod on your processor. The warranty of your processor can be kept alive !

The XP-TMC total multiplier controller can let you not only adjusting multipliers for overclocking but also for enabling new Athlon XP/MP CPU's to run in Socket A boards which only support upto FSB 100Mhz/133MHz. With the application of XP-TMC total multiplier controller, you can adjust the multiplier for reaching the actual clock frequency of a new XP CPU. The CPU upgrade can be done so easily.

Wow. That's freaking amazing.

Dom

No way!

generalstupid

that's awesome man... i dont need it. but thats still awesome

WildChild

Now if it will only work....hehehe...guess thats to be seen

craig588

It adds a few MM to the chips hight and many high tension HSs will now crack the core of the chip.

Somnambulator

correct me if i'm wrong, but isn't your warrenty void if you change the system clock or multiplier? other than what it should be, of course

GAM

who would know if you didnt have to mod the chip at all!

The_Neon_Cowboy

yea but as many know it's really hard to prove..... mos people would still try to ram and would in fact get a replacement

if you cut pins or solder on you cpu your warrany's dead for shure...

as for cracking the core i dont see an usses there a s long as your cafull as usall...

you can buy them here $29.99

i'm planning on getting one!

There is a better, easier way to unlock your CPU, simple fill in the filler bit on your L5 bridge, but o nly fill in the second from the right/third from the left. NOW ittwill change it to a ' MP AMD CPU' but it will till run at its original core/clock and you can ONLY change the multiplyer using Crystle CPUID or something like it. Or something like that. I did it, but because ihave an Nforce 2 mobo, they guy who makes the software hasn fixed th e bug that crashes the Desktop when you try and change the multilpyer. BUMEMR for me
but it works for ALL cpu's ( even new Locked batons a fter weeek 43 ) and most viA mobo's.
im in australia so im tired, sorry about the bad spelling, but im tired cause its 1 am. blah.

dj_stick

my nforce 2 alreadt has multiplier switches so i don;t need this, but its interesting to know it available

G@MeBoY

those multiplier switches you have wont change multiplier on locked CPU.

To ViewAskew: The method you mentioned works for t-breds, and older XP's (palomino) New locked thoroughbreds are "hyperlocked" within the core itself, you can do what you did, but you wont change multiplier even in windows, thats why it crashes. I have tried this, and it works for ALL non-thoroughbred cores unffortunatlly....

Totalmultiplier controler cant change MP on thoroughbred's either. At least, thats what people are telling on other forums. Anyone have experience with it ?!

ViewAskew

Well then how come it works when u put the cpu in to a VIA Motherboard?? ( forget wich one, but me and my mate did it,a nd it works on VIA mobo's

G@MeBoY

TO All: You just need to do "U" mod on L3 bridges: http://www.overclockers.com.au/article.php?id=118669

What ViewAskew mentioned, if L3 mod doesent work, try this: http://www.ocworkbench.com/2004/guid...rtonwk43-1.htm

Thats really all there is to it, except for L5 mod which will not work on some nForce2 mobos.

For all of you that have money and want a "real thing" here's something way better than "total multiplier controller" : http://www.speed-strip.com

Enjoy !

A better way is to buy the mobile CPU

But where things are getting confused (and yes it does work on the super-locked ultralocked whatever you want to call it Bartons)
is that the palominos you do a different bridge to the newer CPU's
the MP and Mobile bridges switch around
So for the superlocked bartons you would do the 4th bridge in from the L3 name.
All you do is shove pencil or silverpaste into the bridge and the job is done (normally)
You can then change multipliers in windows (CPUMSR or the above mentioned one0
It can be altered on VIA, SIS, AMD chipsets, nvidias have a problem, its not a software bug but a hardware bug (some VIA may need a reg# altering as well, mine doesn't)

You convert it to a mobile (athlonXP-m) not to a multi (athlonMP) although you can do both (a AthlonMP-m )

Yes it work, I currently used it for about a month now on my super locked 2500+ barton on a KT600 chipset.

One problem thouggh by default you'll be limited to 11.5x multiplier.
So you need to get your knife our and cut ALL the L6 bridges to get the max x25 multiplier (I only cut 2 in a way to get 12.5x)

Works well
