Oh wait no that was me :O my alter oc'ing ego that is.
Will have 2 Thorton 2000+ and 1 Duron 1.4 applebread at home waiting for me tonight. Also, pimped 2 1.6Durons off ebay for only $62 shipped for both :)
hopefully I can unlock some of them for added cache and multi adjustment. Knowing my luck they will all be A versions and locked :( and won't oc 1mhz run 85C and implode 3 seconds after warranty expires

Good one. I used to do that AA type announcement back in high school to introduce myself to the class. Anyway, keep us posted on your findings. I am very curious about the an7. I want something better than my nf7s v1.2, and don't want to just get a v2.0.

will do, gonna call the wife later and have her read off steppings. She loves to do that for me :rolleyes: j/k of course. I think it takes every ounce of restraint for her not to stomp on my computer packages when they arrive.

Anyway, the AN7 should be here thursday or friday as excal was offereing free upgrade to 2nd day air :)

This weekend should be very fun if the oc gods are with me and I get some modable cores :)

yeah I'll setup a couple of folders
however, when I had 3-4 computers going my room got HOT
so I try to keep it at 2 now :O
but only 1 if that lately b/c of massive hardware changes

I just checked and it appears that excaliber is out of the an7 mobos. Figures.

I gotta get me one of those AN7 boards too :D
Haven't seen them around in The Netherlands yet, but maybe at the big computer fair next week...

For the Dutch peeps here: www.hccdagen.nl

Lots and lots of stores there who sell their stuff for quite low prices so I'll look there... need an Antec 550W TrueControl anyway (absolute 'must have' for me) :D

If you're the mystery PayPal jacker, let me know, I have a few things I could do with ordering myself. :p:

Those little durons are nice chips, I've got one of em 1400 MIXIBs doing over 2.5GHz at 1.93V +30C water (CPU temp +63C) - full 256k cache on of course :)

yep pretty nice ...

i got a 1600@2420 24/7 stable on water 1.85v (no vmod on mobo(yet))

gota love it ... i need to try the cache mod ... im just way 2 lazy

i`m about to order a 80w pelted maze4 (danegr den) for my radeon

nice vmod + plet action ... hope i dont mess it up
just checked the 50k, 20k and 10k vrs for the vmod ...

i just gota believe i can do this without fryin my card...

i think the worst thing is to get the wb + pelt...
i`ll have to pay 65$ for the block and pelt + shipping... i checked a uk shoip and those ...... want 75$ for the block + 90$ for shipping... i mean 90$???

that`s sick ... im currently waitin for response how much i have to pay for shipping if i buy directly from danger den ...


ah ya ... and i hope ur lucky with ur cpus!


danger den repsonse: 24$ ... shipping is just sick ... but tehre r no local shops ... so if i want one i`ll have to pay 90 bucks

well I got hosed tommy
my 2 thortons are locked week 41 chips
and my Duron although being a week 34 B rev chip is both LOCKED and cache mod won't work. I have been stung by the bad luck of overclocking and haven't had a descent bit of luck in months regarding cpus. Both my 2.8c's wouldn't do over 3.2. My 2.4C is good but doesn't go higher on water---go figure. And my bartons have either been turds or locked.

Maybe I will go buy a compaq and quit this crapola

Look all over for my conductive paint. But im loading windows on a new board on one of them. Not modded yet,

Chips are multi locked, Using a Newegg Refurb, Leadtek K7NCR18D board, $49 bucks. Loading windows on it @ 160fsb or 2400mhz.

Plan for 2 of these chips is the two best one's are going in my duallie AMD rig, currently 2 xp1700's @ 2250mhz each.

Hopefully going to be able to enable the 512 cache, and get 2500 each out of them. Max Volts on my asus 266-d is 1.87V. No mult adjustments on the board , just all fsb.

But since it's my Server/storage/Tivo/Divx/F@H rig, I just like all multiplier, hopefully this thing will Vpin mod after unlocking.
