Excuse me, $999 dollars for an Intel Extreme Edition processor? I think not.--[[User:DarknessEcko|DarknessEcko]] ([[User talk:DarknessEcko|talk]]) 09:25, 19 January 2010 (UTC) |

Uh, "you think not" why? I'm looking at a bloomfield 3.33ghz Intel i7 - 975 Extreme Edition processor at this very moment on newegg, and it's actually only $989. Limit 5 per customer Lol! Still a rather ridiculous price, but the article IS accurate. |

can somebody teach me how to do this unlocking of cpu's, especially the amd processor? =========email me: rey@anbonn.com thanks a lot for your help.............
Sorry, someone removed the link for the pinmod howto :-(
I think it's very useful, but may be I'm wrong.
This guide offers the pinmod for Socket A processors (CPU unlocking, Vcore Mod, Multi Mod, etc)

Pinmodding Yonah/Merom processors seems to result in some sort of anti-overclocking protection to kick in when using Intel chipsets. This restricts the processor to a 6x multiplier. See http://www.freepatentsonline.com/6535988.html for the Intel patent. [1]
Merging
This should probably be merged with overclocking and honestly could do with some more references as is. I don't know how to mark it a stub or recommend a change on the main page, so I'm appealing to people who might know. 129.89.32.111 (talk) 20:31, 20 March 2008 (UTC)
Prices
Intel usually has one or two Extreme Edition CPUs on the market, leading their range in clock speed and starting at $999-1499 USD.
