red930 Posted June 7, 2005 Posted June 7, 2005 I have not seen one of the AB0 boards. There have been reports that the chipset has "large" amounts of epoxy covering the bridges. If that is the case, it will simply take a little more work to remove the epoxy to expose the bridges. Once that is done, the mod will still work.

red930 Posted June 16, 2005 Posted June 16, 2005 With the information I have right now, all of the nVidia chipsets available are still moddable. The only way they could eliminate the mod would be to remove the external bridges. If they want to do that they will have to modify that chip package and the production line. While it is possible for them to do that, I don't think they will spend the money. If there is another generation of nF4 chipsets it is possible but not probable since that would mean at least two completely different chip packages. My feeling is that this mod will be available as long as the current nF4 chipsets are available. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
babyelf Posted June 16, 2005 Posted June 16, 2005 yea that's what i thought.. cool thnx my man but if they remove the external bridges i think we can still do it with just cutting a small bridge in between both of them.. u reckon it'll work?

red930 Posted June 16, 2005 Posted June 16, 2005 If(and this is a big IF) they make a change it will be inside the chip package and the bridges will no longer be exposed. That's why I don't think it will happen any time soon. It would cost them more to change the package than they could possibly recover by eliminating the mod. The return on the investment would be upside down from the start. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

red930 Posted June 16, 2005 Posted June 16, 2005 I've found that the brand name Faber makes the best pencil mod. A buddy took the pencil to the lab and said it had lots more pure graphite than the other brands he tested. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You need to make a complete sig with all your system specs.. Did you clear the cmos after the mod ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
