Thoroughbred 2400xp

Is this cpu unlocked, I'm thinking of having a go at overclocking.

Be carefull though.
Mine wont go lower then 15 multiplier.
So the legacy remap of my mainboard makes 8 actually 16.
Set in bios 9x133 for 17x133 actual.Also have to up the cpu voltage to 1.70
or higher.
I cant under clock my xp2400,i have to do a pin or wire mod etc to get this.

That's a limitation of your motherboard, not the CPU.

"So the legacy remap of my mainboard makes 8 actually 16.

That's how the remaps always work!"

Legacy motherboards can't manipulate the 8X multiplier bit. That is,
they can't reset the bit via BIOS. If your CPU has the 8X bit set
high (as the XP2400+ does) then you can access only the higher
multipliers, via the remaps. If your CPU has the 8X bit low then you
can access only the lower multipliers.

If you want to force the low range then you can do one of four things.
You can change the default multiplier on the XP2400+ by mod'ing the
L3 bridges. You can do a mod on the back of the CPU (with wire or
conductive paint). You can do a wire mod on the CPU socket. The fourth
choice is to mod the motherboard. This has a unique advantage. You can
solder in some switches and force whatever multiplier you want or a
single switch, just to manipulate the 8X multiplier bit. Either type
of switching would essentially give you the ability to choose the high
range or low range at will. You would not have to re-mod if you
should need/wish to replace your CPU the mod would already be in
place.

Sorry my previous was incomplete. I meant to quote the following two
statements instead of one.

"Mine wont go lower then 15 multiplier. So the legacy remap of my
mainboard makes 8 actually 16".

I intended to close by mentioning that multipliers 13x, 13.5x, and 14x
don't work in some legacy boards due to timing issues. There are
workarounds for the problem. See link below (at John C's site).

Sounds good to me. I did the wire trick.

Does that apply to all motherboards??
