For dual processor motherboards running a single processor.

Just because you have two sockets doesn't mean you are using a dual capable processor. If that's the case, that opens up a handy solderless way to attach a Tweaker.

I designed this one to sit in the second socket and be easily accessible and easily removable.

Resistor legs should do the trick for pins.

Other than that it works the same as the other tweakers.

Here is beta 3.14

Latest prototype arrived.
I think I’m gonna increase the size of the silver pads. (Trying to make it look like a pentium mmx)

Tested it, it works with a k6-3+

Might test out a tillamook later.

I can change bf0, bf1 but bf2 is not routed between the sockets. So a boge wire will be required on the back of the mobo to make bf2 work. (Between the two BF2 pins)

I will note though that the resistor lead idea for pins doesn’t work very well. (They bend too easily)

Perhaps I should order some actual pins for it.
