1700+ JIUHB 52 week madness!

[morphling1]

Fellas today I went to our local computer store, to check their cpu inventory a little, I was looking for 1800 and 2100+ tbreds. Well 1800+ were tbredA and 2100+ was still old palomino core. But then I noticed brown 1700+ and check their stepping, yep real tbred B. So I said what the heck and bought one they were dirt cheap (65$) especialy for Slovenia where prices are aprox 30% higher then in US. Of course I didn't wait a second to try it. Jump start with 2V went into windows 11*180 and then started oc. with prime95 running, what can I say I soon reach the limit of my memory with 195*11, still rock stable. Ok restart change mp to 12 fsb still 180 so that's 2160 MHz. Start prime95 and set fsb and again started rising the fsb to whooping 191 MHz still 100% prime95 stabl, that my friend is 2301 MHz out of 1466 MHz cpu, all I can say is WOW that is 2.8 cents per MHz talk about bang for a buck
A lot of that is because of my new waterblock in that I'm 100% sure.
I JUST LOVE AMD

I'll post some screen shots later

Congrats morphling1! Sounds like a killer chip

[tweaky]

OMG that is truely awesome my friend

Now don't come back until you have broken the 1Ghz overclock barrier

[morphling1]

Hehe thanks N8, but I don't think it's just single chip that good, they had a 10*4 plate of them and they were all the sam except serial number, and I'm sure all can hit about the same.
Roger that tweaky, you want stable clock or flash overclock, I still got 0.2 V left on my mobo and if I just open the window to my room to cool that water of my a little more... I would say piece of cake

[N8]

1GHz OC on an AMD, that will be very nice

[GreenBeret]

Very very very very very nice !!!

Now I can't wait till the vendors in Australia get the low-end TBred-B's (1700+~2100+) in stock so that I can go back to AMD :p hehehe

[Ragnarok]

lol tempting

why not get best of both worlds?

AMD and Intel

[spaceboy]

1800+@2.3 @2.0V?
hope my friend Dane gotta one of these

[N8]

spaceboy,

*cough* 1700+ *cough*

[Tweaked!]

Nice numbers there Morphling

[RichBa5tard]

Wow, great bang for the buck indeed. :o

How high can you get it stable on a more healthy voltage for everyday use?

[N8]

morphling1,

I hope you remember the 30-minute update policy :p

[morphling1]

You guys won't believe what I'm about to post, just a some more iterations in prime95 just to rub it in

[Liquid3D]

All I can say is; I WISH, there was a decent PCparts store out here on the Island of Newport. NYC two hours South, Boston 90Min North, and I'm stuck in the middle with a Radioshack, Helly Hanson, and Oysters cooked 17,000 ways, but no dam chips!

AMD has definately found a "sweet spot" in these lower MHz TBreds, OMG that is less then 1/3rd of the cost of my 2400, yet seems to have 300% more headroom! Congratulations, and thanks for the tip.

Did it lock up ? :p

[N8]

Liquid3D,

I have the same problem in Harrisburg, PA

Makes me wonder if I shouldn't go ahead & open one

[morphling1]

2.1 V @ 2524 MHz prime95 stable 14 degrees centigrate water.
44 degrees on die diode temperature, pretty good for tbred core cpu.


Spaceboy, are you talking about Dane that I chat on msm with ?

Oh yeah I forgot, it locked couple of time on me but not because of the cpu, but because of radeon 9500 can't handle high FSB. And I pretty much hit every limit here because that is about as much as my ddr can handle on agressive timing and my multiplier is stuck at 12.5, icredible feeling to find the limit of the mobo and video card

[N8]

VERY nice! If you hit the limit on FSB & mult, now its time to play w/ voltage. This will pretty much tell you if you've got anymore headroom

P.S. You've got MSN messenger? If you run it often add me (nmeily2@yahoo.com) will save my PM box, LoL

[morphling1]

It's cool for now, this will do for 2,4 GHz 24/7 folding
I'm currently also on 2815 bios so my memory is pretty much maxed out. I'll try some GF4 action on weekend that isn't bothered by high fsb and some other bios. Let some fresh air in and 2600+ here I come.
And N8 I'll put you in my msm as soon as I'm back to xp

[gallij]

hey, question. I'm probably getting my 1700 tbred (possibly B) today, and I was wondering what voltage is reasonably safe for it to last a while. I'm willing to go up to 2.0 or 2.1 volts (I have an 8RDA also), but what is safe, if I keep it at that, will the chip only last 6 months?

[GreenBeret]

awesome OC morph congrats ! You need a new mobo :p one with higher multiplier and AGP lock

[Jeff]

That's an incredible overclock!!!

[N8]

You need to go buy another 1 & see if it OC's so well, morphling1. Perhaps you drew a luck chip

[morphling1]

I never realy had much luck with chips, I rather rely on cooling, I'll try to get two more chips on friday if they'll have any left. One for me for my old 8kha+ mobo, and one for Bravo and then I'll know If I just hit jack pot, or the answer lie in that small piece of copper

[N8]

lol

/me hopes its the copper & not the chip :p
