the problem with altering the voltage using the wire trick is that the
'good' voltages (those between 1,65V - 1,85V) aren't available.

I'd think they were available, according to this link:

They are, just not by using wire tricks only.

To change a 1 to a 0, connect the pin to Vss as noted on that page.
To change a 0 to a 1, insulate the pin from the socket - or break it
off if you're *certain* you want it changed to a 1 permanently.


Or, if you're really ambitious you could break them all off and wire the
motherboard socket pins to a dip switch and set it to anything you like.

Although I would have tracked down the pullup resistors and connected
there rather than on the back of the board :-)

Which is also a way to 'get it back' if you wanted to after breaking one
off. Either the switch or a simple wire jumper on the motherboard.


overclock will work without a vcore hike; and if it won't, then i

found it was safe to go up to 2,05V without serious issues. having

that, experience showed that anything above 1,95V got you into the

diminishing returns: a higher voltage produces a clearer signal,
but also
causes more heat - which in turn muddies up the signal again etc.

Yep.

Well, the socket pins are easier to find and they're the same on every
motherboard Plus, they're not active signals so wire length isn't a
problem.

Agree, there's no technical issue - but it is moderately ugly ;-)
