Adrian thats an impressive effort to sucessfully pull off such a stunt. However there is no before and after testing, there is nothing to say that all that work was for nothing. For a person to write a guide and not even do proper testing is very unprofesional. If we dont even know what this acheives then whats the point?

Sam_Q: Do you know ZuePhok is the reviewer? And his board was damaged like the picture above just a few days after the mod was completed?

Sam_Q · 21st Dec 2003, 10:48 AM

thanks for the corection

Hey, no problem.

We learn from mistakes everyday, and we will try not to make the same mistake again in the future.

SamQ I'm so very sorry for not being able to include any before and after testing results

I would do it now right away if I still had the baord in working condition

unfortunately I killed it a few days after I wet sanded it..thus wasn't able to conduct any temp/fsb testing

so sorry about that

one thing that I hope you can understand is that the purpose of this article is to guide ppl out there how to wet sand their northbridge...not an article to show what kinda result can we expect after wet-sanding our northbridge

Sam_Q · 22nd Dec 2003, 04:04 AM

hey no problem ZuePhOk, I was more of a sujestion than a condemnation! Perhaps next time because well you do need another motherboard afterall!

out of inerest I wonder if that motherboard is repairable, perhaps it may well be possible to replace that power regulator?

ZuePhok · 22nd Dec 2003, 10:21 AM

that board is with my friend now

hopefully he can fix it

thx for the suggestio SamQ
