is september 10 2001 the manufacture date on this chip?

if it is so then the multiplier should be unlocked right?

how do i tell???

Go into your BIOS and change the multiplier. If it's changed, then your chip is unlocked.

It's unlocked, nothing made in 2001 was

NForce 2 motherboards will unlock the Multipliers, if your board is as old as the CPU, you will have to do the conductive paint pen on the L-12 bridges trick to change it then

I seriously doubt it is a superlocked chip.

If you are using a Nforce 2 board, you should be golden.

If not you will have to do the pencil trick to unlock it.

I mentioned a Conductive Paint Pen trick, not a Pencil trick

The pencil trick worked on older AMD CPU's but not on yours.

You have to cut the bridges and fill them in with conductive paint.

It goes something like this, you will have to track down more specifics for your EXACT CPU and Soyo motherboard, there are many methods, here are a few.

The "Wire trick" sometimes called a "Pin Mod" might also work and is a bit easier and cheaper.

Or...you could just upgrade to a NF-7 for around 75$ or Shuttle AN35 Ultra for about 60$ and be done with it

EDIT: LMAO..with all these "Tricks" going on in this thread, we're gonna need some more Hoes'
