Speed Strip SSA-1: A new unlocking method for AMD CPUs : Review
Added to the directory: Sun, 26 Oct, 2003. Source: LostCircuits.
Quote:A new unlocking kit for AMD Thorougbred, Barton and Thornton Processors hitting the shelves, manufactured by Speed-Strip LLC. The principle is based on shorting the pins connecting to the contacts on either side of the 5th L3 bridge, rather than closing the bridge itself. Instead of using a wire loop or conductive paint, Speed Strip's SSA-1 is a little plastic matrix that is pushed over the respective pins with a metal mask to electrically connect pins AJ27 and AH28 (any ground will do in this case). While there is no doubt that an established method will also work in a simplified design, we have some issues with the mechanical realization of the SSA-1.
