Honestly, you gotta love a $50 2 ghz CPU :-)

Kevin · 01-24-2003, 04:58 AM

I'm running my 8K5a2+ at 10x200 right now with a mere 1.725V on my new $50 TBREDB from Newegg.

AXDA1700DUT3C
JIUCB 0250MPMW

Gotta love the 512mb PC3200 cas2 RAM from Corsair too. Hehe this was a nice jump from my XP1600 before

.

The funny thing is that I haven't even tried to push this chip at all. So sure it isn't as good as the "A" stepping chips, for $50, this was an awesome deal.

jtroutma · 01-24-2003, 11:26 AM

Honestly, I hope that I get the same chip you do. Just finished ordering mine

Kevin · 01-24-2003, 12:08 PM

You should... even if they ran out of stock of mine and ordered more, I'm sure you would at least get a "J" stepping TbredB. There's little chance of you getting a TbredA. Good luck! And let me know how it goes.

I've definitely realized my motivation behind overclockign and getting excited about stuff now. I remember how excited I was when my first celeron 300A hit 504 mhz... It wasn't so much because of the speed. It was because I only paid Celeron 300 price and got faster than P2 performance. This new $50 Tbred is making me the most excited about an overclock since that Celeron. $50 for 2 ghz just seems like SUCH a great deal

. Not to mention i'm very happy that all my componenents are getting along well at 200 mhz FSB... (w/ memory timings maxed out and only 2.7 VDDR

).

Good luck! UPdate us!

jtroutma · 01-24-2003, 12:27 PM

I will as soon as I get a chance to test it out.

BTW does it come factory unlocked or do I have to do the honors?

Kevin · 01-24-2003, 02:06 PM

Factory unlocked 12.5x and below; you need to cut a bridge and then it adds 8x to whatever multiplier you set if you want more than 12.5x.
-Kev

jtroutma · 01-24-2003, 04:06 PM

YES!!!!!! THAT alone is worth the extra $50 to me

Now I cant wait to test out that bad boy!!!

jaydee · 01-24-2003, 06:25 PM

$50??? Looks to me like they are $46.99 shipped!

http://www.newegg.com/app/viewproduc...103-351&DEPA=1

I am ordering one when I get home!

Kevin · 01-24-2003, 06:37 PM

Hehe damn! They dropped the price $3 and I missed out! Honestly, this is so nice being at 2 ghz... totally stable, knowing mentally that it only took a small amount of voltage to get there. Add to the fact that my system is silent inside of the Chilli pro cae with a 200 mhz FSB.... mmmm... PC life is good

Wow, they even have some "refurb"ed ones for $35. Bet people got em without checking to see if their BIOS had support for TbredBs, then RMAed em.

They seem to be out of swtock on those though. I checked to see if my board would support before I clicked the checkout and my boards do, but I am capped at 12.5X multi. Which is alright. My new XP1600+ kicks along 1740mhz on it.

jaydee · 01-29-2003, 04:32 PM

Just got my Chip.

It is a A version.

AXDA1700DLT3C
AIUGA 0247MPM

It is unlocked and I wil drop it in tonight when I get home and see if I can get it to work with 12.5X multi (max the board supports with manual jumpers 8K7A+) and whatever FSB I can acheive.

airspirit · 01-30-2003, 09:42 AM

Lame, bro, though that "A" chip should still be able to push 2ghz if you cool it right.

First setting I tried was 12.5X multi for 1664mhz at 1.55 (maybe 1.50, whatever stock is, board read 1.53) Vcore. Booted up just fine but got errors. bumped it up to 1.75 and stable as a rock under load. All I can do now is add FSB and see what it will do. I need a newer board.

Still not disapointed though. $46.99 shipped for 1664mhz I can live with. I am sure I can get mid 1700's before my board/memory hits it's limit.

jaydee · 01-30-2003, 08:24 PM

Now at 1807mhz 12.5Xmulti 145FSB 1.75Vcore and stable with DF load.

jtroutma · 02-03-2003, 01:49 PM

Update:

I finally got a chance to install that JIUHB and currently have it running 2250@180FSB, 1.85V. Temps were at 37C running Folding. I am pegged on the multiplier until I unlock the higher multiplyers and my board refuses to post over 180FSB. I figure that a NB Vmod is in order and some newer RAM before I can get any higher.

Must say though, I am very happy with the performance. Gained 30FPS@1600x1200x32 in UT2K3.

Unfortunately, after my latest purchase of a Yamaha 450W 5.1 Home Theater Sound System for my system, I am broke. Now I have to wait until I get a new job and play off some more credit cards before I can get the new RAM and shoot for 200+FSB.

Kevin · 02-03-2003, 03:16 PM

Saw your profile... that motherboard won't post above 180? That sucks, dude. I'm on a semi-old 8K5A2+ (KT333) and it'll hit 200+ FSB quite nicely, even with low voltage...
-Kev

iroc409 · 02-04-2003, 11:25 AM

i wanna oc my 2000+, but i got a crappy board for ocing. it's a biostar... i think m7vkb. i think i'm going to get like a 2700 333 or something and retire this to *nix. any good motherboard suggestions out there with raid?

hey, but i got the board brand new from my dad for free, so i can't bitch

jtroutma · 02-04-2003, 12:57 PM

Kevin,

Actaully, I am pretty sure that it is my RAM that is holding me back. Its a single 512MB Corsair PC3000 C2 unit. Yea it should hit at least 183FSB however I keep monitoring my voltages and some of them are not "up-to-par." For example, I set the BIOS VDIMM to 2.9V and the system claims that I am only running @ 2.82V.

What I need to do is find a client that needs a really fast MB and sell him my old RAM and purchase (2) 256MB Corsair PC3500 C2 pieces and do a slight Vmod to the chipset and maybe even the VDIMM.

I know this chip still has headroom and my board is not maxed out right now. It just needs a little "encouragement"

Still I cant complain with a 1700+ running at 2250 (PR 3446 according to Sandra

)

Kevin · 02-04-2003, 03:42 PM

Yah that RAM may be holding you back. I have a 512mb stick of the PC3200C2 stuff from Corsair. I wish I had the newer PC3500 module, but I'm still quite happy that this RAM can hit 200 mhz FSB nicely.
