Nah... it doesn't but it's probaly because it's a test sample. But it's goods to see that AMD is cabable of producing 0.13 micron chips though

Maybe because its factory engineered but I have a random feeling that proc isn't supposed to be unlocked.. wasn't thoroughbred supposed to stop unlockers?

There is coming more about that t-bred at Muropaketti, I know, I'm from Finland

There's going to be more broken dies ever, when t-bred comes to market. Damn those AMD guys are smart to make that small die.

And people must get new shimms because that t-bred core is "so" much lower than palomino and tb (palomino and tb have almost same height cores).

But I must buy one of those t-breds next summer, that tb1,33 is no good for extreme OC

You got that right Joe...
Threw mine away when er converted to watercooling, cause it took up all the place where I wanted to put a Senfu temp probe.
I don't think that it's gonna be a bigger prob crushing them T-Bred cores than it is with T-Bird and XP cores.

You got that right But when keeping up a hardware site (no, not joking; http://www.savethecore.com) and reviewing HSF's and waterblocks I don't want to end up with smashed core, because I don't have money for new one at the moment

And you can use temp probe with shimm after some Dremel cutting

Hey man thats no excuse, I have a 1.4Ghz Tbird core I have put over 100 different blocks and HSF's on and prolly swapped and re-mounted stuff over 200 -300 times. and NEVER a chip or as much as a scratch (even using the OCH "chip crusher" Reactor)

you just need to learn how to mount a HSF or block

I've never cracked a core either. One time I tried to crack my p3 500 with a fop32, I just couldn't hehe. I tried really hard as well

And why shouldn't I use a shimm if a have tons of them (not that much but at the moment 10 different). And it's just for safety and a good copper shimm makes your about 2°C cooler.

I've seen just as many people have their shims move slightly nd short out their bridges or lift up the heatsink as people who like shims

and I've never seen anyone drop temps by using a shim

I don't know what kind of shimms they sell in US but here in Finland we have just so damn great shimms

I have made roundup of about 7 shimm and they all dropped cpu temps at least one degree. I'm now using xp copper shimm but it isn't as good as tb shimm. Also full copper performs better than silver plated copper shimm (I really don't know why).

back when i had my maze 2 it droped it by about 3c....btw the only way for it to raise up is for it to be bent...and if u dumb enough not to look at it before u put it on then maybe u should lose that chip....

the only processor I used a shim on was my p3-800eb, that was becasuse there was no means of keeping a block stable on it with a lot ov moving. but since AMD has the nice pads, and intel has the IHS's there's really no need for them nowadays.

I look at it this way... Shim = piece of mind for me. So shim = good to me

This is just like the Ricer and v8 muscle car debate... it's more opinion than anything else.

Hahaha! I dont have an extra $100 laying around either. Thats why i cant afford a shim! lol. I did, however, somehow chip my sweetass athlon 700. Its ok though, i was being hasty trying to figure out why it wouldnt post at 892 when it did the day before, and ran stable. Anyways, long story short, chip still works, somehow i bumped a multiplier dipswitch.

Does that make me a DIP-switch?

892mhz rocks! wooo!! (the duron 1k is on the way)

W00T!!
