What is the resistor method of Athlon overclocking?
The resistor manipulation method of overclocking the Athlon was first publicized by Tom Pabst. He published an article detailing how multiplier settings and voltage settings are determined on an Athlon via several sequences of resistors mounted on the PCB. By desoldering and soldering resistors on the PCB to change the sequences, one can use this information to modify the multiplier on the chip and run it at a higher speed. Additionally, other resistor sequences may be changed to bump the voltage up slightly as discussed above.
