Hi, I'm plannin' to buy T-bird and plannin' to OC it.

As you know the 700 mhz is much cheaper than the ones above it..

The question is, which one should i buy ? Does it mattah which one i get?

The different clocked T-birds all have the same core, are tthey any different?

Can I just diasble the multiplier lock on the 700mhz and just up the muliplier , and just add a fan?

As oppose to buyin a more EXPENSIVE 900 mhz and upping that just the same way.

Heres the deal.

The copper (blue) tbirds from dresden usually nail 1ghz. The early 750's came in both aluminum and copper.

The aluminum ones were sorta rigourously recently so a 750 might do 850 at tops from recent batches.

Its how amd makes their money, selling the better ones for more cash.

When there was only a 800 processor, they didn't have to sort for 850,900,950,1000, etc.

So a processor that was good at 1000 was still sold as an 800. Nowadays they sell the processors
that do 1000 as 900-1000's and dump the failures to the lower speeds.

makes sense huh?

Week 24 blue core 750's, all the ones that hit 1-1.1 gig are from that week. I snagged two at a local store, and checking around the web everyone's 750 from week 24 hits 1.1gig no problems. I may know of a store that has them in stock in Los Angeles, e-mail me and I'll tell you, don't want to post cause someone else might get it first.

I have a Week 31 T-Bird 750 green core and it will run 924Mhz with an Alpha PAL6035 on it at default voltage. Heat is my problem going above this. I have a water block coming in to cure that problem. I can boot to 980Mhz into windows and start to boot Windows at 1000Mhz. But for SETI or games 924Mhz is tops for now. If I did it again I probably would shell out the extra money for a purple 750 or go with a 900.

No,
Blue is not the key to overclocking more, it has nothing to do with green or blue. Blue may overclock better since the higher mhz are all blue but that is not the factor, getting a blue 700 doesn't guarentee more than a green, better chances maybe but not by much. It depends on the week and batch that the cpu was made, some weeks and speeds are better than others, right now 750 blue week 24's are the best. I think they are actually 1gigs cause I can boot at 1 gig at default, they just didn't have 1 gigs back then so they underbinned them.

Blue cores are generally better from what im hearing. The cores are made with Copper instead of aluminum which someone posted earlier. The color of the core does matter if you want a better chance of overclocking it. My thought is for all your struggle and hard work to OC The chip, with extra cooling, etc. Why not just spend a few extra $$ and buy a 900 or something. Then you should have no problem getting that gig.

lol I sugest you try and find a blue 750 week 24 it's not like it's 50$ more than a 700. I think all 700's are green anyways.
