How to blow up an Athlon XP.. I mean its bridges..

@ 2004/12/07
Bridge cutting is a common technique involved in the process of overclocking the AthlonXP processor - and there are many ways of cutting the bridges on the AthlonXP. Physically cutting the bridges with a scalpel, dremel or similar cutting tool has been attempted and has worked - although in many cases it has left the user with a dead CPU (me being one of them , when cutting the l6 bridges on my AthlonXP 2500+ mobile with a surgical scalpel).

no the method is genuine and also used by JCViggen and others when Athlon XP's were top dog.

hmmm, looks dangerous, aren't those bridges connected to something that also can't handle 5V DC?
