    Tbred 1700+ overclocking

    Just wondering if anyone's gotten a chance to play with these things yet. I've got a chance to trade my palamino 1700+ for a Tbred, and probably will.

    What I'm wondering... does anyone have any idea what the average overclock is?
    And what's needed to unlock it? One of the L5s? All of the L1s? The bridges aren't laser cut, so it's easier than a palimino

    Although, on second thought, the A7V266-E was in jumper mode, not jumperfree. I wonder if that'd affect things

    Its def. unlocked up to 12.5x...least in my experience on the 8K3A...and in all other cases that I've read

    Should do 1.9GHz+ on decent air fairly easily.

    Hmmm... I can't seem to get the bloody multiplier adjustment to work. Anyone gotten it to work on an A7V266-E?

    Ooh. Thought. It's a 266-E/AA... I wonder if "AMD Approved" means "multiplier adjust = no".

    The latest bios theoretically doesn't even support the TBred.

    Figure I could flash it with the regular 266-E bios? Shouldn't be any hardware differences....

    nah, AA just means that AMD "tested" it and they gave it the sticker of kosher-ness. Asus probably had to pay AMD to test it....

    Ok, this is interesting.

    I have a tbird 1333 in my A7V266-E. To get the multiplier adjust working, I had to move the jumper from "palamino" to Athlon/Duron. Logical, I suppose, I have a tbird.

    Then I thought... wait, what if ALL multiplier adjust has to be on "Athlon/Duron".

    So I tried it, and it posts as an XP2000+, regardless of the multiplier. However, I've got it at 11.5 x 133 right now, so 1800+ speeds, and WinXP shows it at 1.54 ghz, so apparently it IS setting properly.

    Weird... gonna play some more

    It's a little disquieting to be running a TBred on the "duron" setting, though... hmmm...

    EDIT: Supa, do I recognize you from the [H] before the great exodus?

    Edit 2: Yup, got it at 1900+ speeds now. Benching it. What's the safe voltage on TBreds? Will they die like northwoods, since they're 0.13?

    the northwood problem is not definite yet, and the tbred have shown no sign of abnormally premature deaths

    Well that's cool then. I'd love to know why the devil it has to be on athlon/duron.

    I'm gonna run out of multipliers
    The ram in this machine isn't great, and I'll be surprised if i get 150 FSB
