sorry guys i know this obviously is the opposite to a hot deal but i know how many people seem to be buying the 1700 Tbreds from Newegg with the hope of overclocking..

I ordered my CPU 3 days ago and when i opened my package tonight i discovered that it said LT3C on the stepping code.... I think im correct in thinking that this is the lower performing Rev A Tbred as opposed to the much talked about rev B tbred.

Hope this helps some of you, at least youve been warned.....

*im having bad luck right now, first some guy screws me on ebay for some RAM so im trying to cancel the money order i sent, as he won't even reply and then all the websites i order my new PC from delay my orders, i wouldn't mind so much except that I go back to the UK on Monday so i needed everything before i leave, most of it is arriving the day after ack... lucky i have someone who can at least mail it to me. Anyone got any advice on the best method of safely shipping my stuff back to the UK once it gets here and roughly how much it will cost *motherboard, 2 sticks RAM, and graphics card... shouldn't be too heavy*

 
since the price is now $53, not many peeps are going to buy the chip.

thx for the update on the topic, but imo this thread will head down to the bottom of the pile 😛
 
check fedex for the shipping cost, they seem to be cheaper internationally than ups.

anyway, as far as the 1700+ results, i personally think you should have posted in the original thread but thanks for the info
 
Most of the Newegg "B" chips were JIUCB anyway, and they do not overclock any better than the "A",
so getting the "A" is not a bad thing. Just not as good as a "good B".

You should still be able to overclock the "A" XP1700+ (1470MHz) to XP2300+ (1870MHz) speeds just as easily as the "B".
But of course with even a good B, you still need a good motherboard, and great memory to get any overclockability.

BTW, the XP1700+ I received from Newegg Wednesday was a JIUCB "B", and is running great at 175x10.5.
Huge improvement over XP1600+ AGOIA that it replaced, and because it's 0.13 micron it runs a lot cooler.
Also comes unlocked, so no need to mess with L1's.
