i wanna do this mod tomorrow but can't find any copper tape or conductive pens...can i use like aluminum foil to connect the pins since it conducts electricity???

It can be done with foil, just carefully cut some out and with a tiny amount of glue stick it to your processor. I've never used foil myself but others have and its had mixed results.

mixed results as in.....dead cpu?? that'd suck.....what else besides foil could i use???

Mixed results more in just not working lol Very thin wire can be used but you'd have to glue the ends of the wires to the pins on the CPU.

Unless you conntect the wrong pins, a dead cpu has rarely ever happened with this mod.. As I think about it, I don't think I've ever read where anyone killed the cpu doing this mod..

A defogger kit from your local auto store would do, but that will cost a lot more than copper tape or a pen..

#2. Hello. I had an idea today to use aluminum foil as ram heat spreaders!

#3. I drilled holes in my HDD to mount a fan...

#4. I pooped my underwear while I was in the bathroom at school, i got scared, pulled it back on with all the poop and went back to class.[/quote]

Hey again! I downclocked my CPU to 3000Mhz for stability and to decrease the temperature somewhat.

Check out the screenie! 3Ghz @ 1.31V!

I think ill try the 800>1066 mod with aluminum foil, because copper tape is ~25$ here and no-one i know has it

Gonna do the mod when I get some time and thermal paste.

If it works then ill get from 1600 to 2132 mhz. Too bad my mobo doesn't support 1333 FSB.

Are there any recommended motherboards for this mod? I will be using a E2180 if that makes any difference, although that can be changed if anyone knows of a killer setup or anything like that.

The mod has worked on every motherboard I've tried aside from the Gigabyte p35-ds3l, which has good overclocking features so it isn't really a problem. Just avoid intel's 945 chipset Also the E2200 & E2220 wouldn't be a bad to go for as they have 11x/12x multis.
