Got my new 1700xp

[phishhead]

and with the luck of the draw I got a "b" t-bred. There is a lot of "a"s going around newegg.com. got the sucker to 2000+ 12x166 @1.65v. Did several burn ins with sissoft, prime95, memtest, 3dmark and passed with flying colors. Oh yeah now getting 10800 3dmark 01.

Nice job phish :thumbup: welcome too the 2g club :) those XP 1700's are the best bang for the $$ !!

Did you write down the stepping of the CPU ?

[phishhead]

of course I knew that would be the first thing you would ask...:p DUT3C JIUB. gonna give it a couple of days of MOHAA before I try 12.5 and my temps actually went down to 39c. So looks like stripe will be getting a present tomorrow and a faster FTP.

2...2....2G club? :(

Looks like your temp is right where it should be :) 12.5 @166=XP 2600 should be no problem ;)

That Ole T-Bird should do Stripe good, makes me happy ta see it MHZ'n away year after year :D

Hmm I prolly could help you out but to be quite honest I thought you were into software.....:p

Nope...looked everywhere and couldn't find a place where you can download an NF2 board & XP 2600....hold on I'll try emule..hehe

BTW lynch J/K ya :)

I want to try and put a 1700XP in my ABIT kt7a, would be a nice increase from the duron 800 in there already. They are dirt cheap now, so good bang for $$ :D How do you tell if its an 'a' or 'b' ??

Good going Phish!

2Gee club?

I really do not have that much software. I only have 24 gigs out of 80 total used.

As far as your PM goes:
I don't know FG. It took 5 minutes to post this. If I have more than 1 extra app open then everything becomes "unresponsive" - I'll click on something and nothing happens for long time. I can't even open task manager for several moments.:(

Is your Sony PC still with you?

I'm already drooling in anticipation. It will be a VERY nice increase from the 900 in the server right now.

It's here but it's no longer mine. It is empty as it's only an E-mail checker and word processor - used very infrequently.

You may want to swap machines again if it's stability that you're after.

I'll use phishhead's code...DUT3C JIUB. The JIU*B* indicates a B core, it would be JIU *A* for the A core.

Here's some Good info (http://www.overclockers.com/tips00173/) on AMD CPU's.

@lynch, do as Conan suggest ;)

[phishhead]

check this out should explain it http://www.techzonez.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=5924 very confusing at first til I did alittle surfing. and the amd forum is great for info, but man do I feel like a noob over there.

[phishhead]

DUT3C JIUB these are the ones selling at newegg. they are low end T-breds "b" though. if it was an A instead of J then that would be the high end ones I think the voltage is higher and the wafer has more layers or something like that. FG could correct me if I'm wrong.

[cash_site]

thanks for the heads up, so which is better then? cos from the start of the thread it sounded like b was cos you can overclock so well. Is this the case?

[FastGame]

The T-Bred B core is the one to get :) the XP1700 DUT3C is a core that graded out needing 1.6volts to run stable where as the XP1700 DLT3C only needs 1.5volts to be stable. The DLT3C overclocks better because it runs stable @higher MHZ with voltage increases, because the DUT3C needs more voltage it hits a wall sooner that the DLT3C does.

Unless you base your life on benchmark scores then 2000mhz+ is plenty fast enough ;) the XP1700's are being reported as doing 2100-2400mhz on air ! at $40+ a chip thats hard to beat ! ;)

[lynchknot]

$40.00? - :confused:

[phishhead]

technically lynch $41 with free 2day fedex shipping from newegg.;)

[cash_site]

thanks FG for the info. Will definitly check my cousin's 1700 out now, see if its a 'b' ;) might have to buy it from him LOL
