1800+ JIXUB???

[Corporate Thug]

i just got in on the 1800+/ecs mobo deal at frys. the 1800+ i got was a JIXUB 0329 XPMW. i pop it in and defalut vcore is 1.45V!!! the ecs mobo of course sucks so i cant oc it much (only pc2700 support). anyone have any experiance with this stepping??? thanx

 

[Doh!]

I've heard it's a new core that supposed to do 2.4ghz (and some) very easily. According to OrooOroo in this thread, it definitely goes past 2.4ghz.

go to overclockers.com amd cpu forums for more info.

you can certainly oc on even sh*t ecs m/b. look at mine. 1800 @ 2.4ghz. use socket pin mod to change multiplier and voltage. requires some finesse and trial and error inserting those small wires into the socket. but it saves you from having to go to really high fsb which ecs can't do. get honey or cheepo bios update to access fsb from 133-166. 166 doesn't work on k7s5a though, well not really, but its not worth bothering with. i get up to 150bus ok

if thats a frys combo, awesome deal! seems the jixhb finally getting into supply stream. very hard deal to beat.

comprehensive thread on previous best 1800+ chip, mostly still relevant.

tell us what you get from that

will do

the ECS only has fsb 166. but i was able to do 11.5 * 166 (1909 mhz) on 1.45V. lookin good

put it in your abit NF7-S board to try it

you can change multiplier on any board using socket pin mod.

that seems a little too intricate for me

 

[0roo0roo]

its just sticking bent wires into the socket

 

[Corporate Thug]

i really dont understand how to do it from the link you posted, what kind of a wire? like a paperclip? any other links? thanx

 

[0roo0roo]

take a ide or floppy cable. set the site to socket view. cut the wire into ~10mm length. take individual strand from wire. its hairlike compared to the bundle it came from. bend into u. stick into socket holes where indicated by diagram. its thin enough that pins go through easily, yet conductive so that the two pins are now connected. tweezers might be required.

i'll try when i get home, thanx! the problem i'm having with the website is that i cant select 1.45V , should i just set it to 1.475V. also, what should i select for multipler?

 

[0roo0roo]

if your going to oc, you shoudn't really be at default voltage anyways. as for multiplier.. its really up to you. trial and error

1.45V is the default on this chip, the website doesnt have that option.

 

[0roo0roo]

jixhb is that new.

 

[Duvie]

Does the JIXUB come in the 2100+ flavor as well??? I was wondering cause I get about 1.57v on my new tbred and I though they were like 1.65v at default. Also does a mobo (especially one that does not have vcore modificatio options) have to possibly have a bios update to even set a vcore this low or to recognixe the new lower vcore right anyways???

 

[Duvie]

Also there was a reference in the overclockers link about "funky new packaging"...What was meant by this?? The packaging of the silicon of the chip or the retail box???

 

[0roo0roo]

its written on the chip. if its a jixhb, it will be obvious.

This looks interesting.. what other places besides fry's have people been getting these steppings?
