Had a troublesome q6600.
It ran hot and didn't want to OC much past 331 FSB without some extra juice. (B0/SLACR BTW)
I got a second B0 q6600 and put in in that same system...much better. But what to do with that first q6600?
I had a conductive pen sitting around from my AMD XP modding days, what the hell....I'll pad mod that biatch.
5 minutes of work + 30 min. drying time later and it's running like a champ at 1333. Why will it run at 1333FSB (333) when it wouldn't go past 331 before? No clue. Still runs a bit hotter and with a higher default Vcore than the other B0, but it doesn't need a Vcore bump now so it's cooler than it was.
Pad mod good. Simple mod as well. Even BillR could do it.
