2400+ just arrived - Thank you Fed-Ex guy!!!

[Wiz]

Just got it, just popped it in.
Now that's more like it!
It's one of the smaller die Tbred chips - it runs pretty cool at default speed.
Right now, running seti of course, case temp is 34C & cpu temp is 37C. That's nice!! That's the same temp the 1600+ was running underclocked at 1133mhz.
Me Likes!!

Couldn't have said it better myself

You were having problems with overclocking the other chip you had though weren't ya wiz?

 

[Swanny]

Very nice proc!

 

[Wiz]

yeah, not going to be taking any chances with this cpu - that's the most I've spent on a processor in a long time.

In fact I have to sell some stuff to offset this real fast.

 

[GhettoFob]

*drools*

 

[MoFunk]

Very nice CPU. WIll be upgrading to this chip or higher in March. Congrats.

So whatcha got for sale?

Not even just a little FSB overclocking?

 

[CraigRT]

The first thing I do when i get a new CPU is disconnect all devices in my computer and see how high i can get it to post.

why not try and O/C at least a few hundred MHz? all you have to lose is a bit of stability, you can gain some good WU times!

 

[Wiz]

Well, the mobo can be modded so it will take fsb adjustments. It takes cutting a soldered jumper and attaching the center post to the 'other side' I am thinking maybe I can do this with the "conductive goo" that came with the OC kit for overclocking AMD cpu's. That would be a lot safer than soldering to the motherboard IMHO.

 

[Assimilator1]

You have to mod the mbrd just get extra FSB!?:disgust: ,in that case I understand your hesitance!
Conductive paint sounds like a good idea ,be carefull cutting that link though!

 

[Smoke]

Please Doctor WIZ, no more cutting! :Q

you could post some bencmark results

I second that notion.

Thats what the crowd at the AMD reality check in seattle were chanting during the battle of the boxes!

I'm happy to report that I walked away with a shiny new Athlon XP 2400+

 

[Wiz]

Very nice, I was registered but due to a friend in the hospital I ended up not attending.
That 2400+ is a nice cpu

 

[JWMiddleton]

I agree with Smokeball, leave the mobo alone!

What kind of WU times are you getting?

 

[Wiz]

So far with 12 units done they range from 2:47 up to 3:11
Some of those were being done while the system was in use, watching TV on the Leadtek Winfast Deluxe tuner or watching a DVD or burning some roms etc...
All in all I gotta say it makes a nice system. Running under 40C all the time doing seti 24/7.
It's the smaller Tbred core, so it stays cooler if you run default speed & voltage. I could probably put in a quiter HSF & disconnect the case fan, it would be nice to run a quiet PC for a change

 

[Assimilator1]

Nice times

Now if I can get my damn XP1600 stable at 1.75Ghz I could match that
