Is there anyway of getting higher multipliers from this chip? (I know with XP2400 upwards you can enable lower multipliers ,is their anyway of doing the reverse on the lower clocked chips?)

How do you know a Tbred A from a Tbred B?

Btw if the info is already in this thread then lmk where please ,I don't have time to read through this massive thread!:Q:p

The 5-Second Mod

download WCPUID
and check CPU ID-if it is 680, then it is a T-Bred A
if it is 681, then you have a T-Bred B

or you can take out the chip and check the code
AXDA1700DLT3C-T-Bred A(btw, T-Bred A steppings end with the letter A,Palominos too)
AXDA1700DUT3C-T-Bred B(T-Bred B steppings end with the letter B)

Well got the 8RDA+ system running at first though I couldn't figure out why it wouldn't boot but it was getting power. One of the front usb cable grounds was mounted improperly. Waste of sometime there. Anyways I don't have time to test this out I have some systems I need to crank out of the factory so stay tuned and I'll post my results probably when the SLK-900 gets here about then.

hrmm - looks like they sent me an A stepping

the multiplier seems locked at 11 as well :(

Are the A steppings multiplier locked?
(although I am running the G bios - perhaps that doesn't allow unlocked multipliers - will try that when i get home)

running on an A7n8x deluxe, it seems ok at 1826 MHZ at 1.675 volts
idle temp is ~42c with and alpha pal 8045.

I can eek a little more out of the fsb , but seems too not like going over 171 or so

any words of wisdom?

just ordered an akasa hs/f with a blue LED in... dunno how effective it'll be but i like th light!

When after I installed windows and drivers and so forth I went to install magic utility and after it installed I got a blue screen....... I've never got a blue screen ever with any of my components in the last year and a half. What happened?

8RDA+ from a K7N2-L
166FSB X 12.5 Vcore 1.75 chose to run as if it was a 2600+

Priming it now it seems rather lagging while running prime compared to the K7N2-L although the only difference in this system and that one was that one had a maxtor 60GB this has a Hitachi 60GB.

Can someone explain the PCI lock to me? I see no lock in the bios for it. To me it seems no different then the K7N2-L in the bios. I see no PCI lock is it just standardly locked but not changable?

K great to hear because I was a little PO'D when I found out about the K7N2-L not having it. I should have read the articles more clearly rather then breezing.

many people have been reporting problems with the 1001g bios
try getting the 1002 bios

yep did just that, multipliers are unlocked now (up to 12.5) but this cpu will boot into windows at about 139 FSB max :(
so I'm running 12.5x139
I'm assuming it's this core, but the proc may be able to handle more it was posting at over 1900, but the fsb is holding it back. if I can get to the 13+ multipliers I may be in business.

Just installed 1700 "B" JIUHB 03-03 received yesterday from newegg. This is on a MSI K7T Turbo2 (bios 3.6) KT133A MB. Running 1.65v 157x12.5=1963. Post and Windows shows XP2400+. Using med/low Coolermaster with Enermax 80x80 adjustable at about 1500 RPMs. 500 o/c for $52.

Ok, which one to get?
AXDA1700DUT3C/JIUCB 68?
AXDA1700DUT3C/JIUHB 75?
AXDA1800DUT3C/JIUHB 80?
AXDA2100DUT3C/AIUHB 121?
So... which one to get? What should I expect out of these chips...? Board should be a Abit NF7-S (trying to get a Rev. 1.2), RAM dunno yet. Infineon PC2700 CL2.5 or GeIL/Corsair (PC2700 CL2).
Thx :)

ok, but which one? AIUHB (2100), JIUHB or JIUCB? I think the JIUHB sounds good, not expensive, promises some decent OC (at least 2 GHz). Hmm... cannot wait too long, they only have a limited number of CPUs :-/ Oh, and try to get me the best for the sake of F@H ;)

if you get the 1700+, get the JIUHB... they seem to do better...
the 2100+, depends on the week...

but like i've said before... results vary VERY widely even for one week..

i had an AIUHB 0301 2100+, got only 2125 out of it... i know others that got like 2300 out of their 0301....

it's all a luck of the draw.... so there really isn't a "best" week processor...

Ok, so I think I will go for the JIUHB. Not willing to spend 30? more on a lucky draw and I don't even know the week! Can I expect 2000-2200 MHz out of it?

i think it's safe to say you can expect 2000 out of it... but anything higher you get .... just say it's .... "grace"... something you don't deserve but you get anyway :) (meaning you paid for a chip that's supposed to only do 1.47 ghz but you're getting 2.0 ghz out of it)....

some people like rommelrommel got over 2.3 ghz out of a 1700+
my first 1700+ only did a lil les than 2 ghz
my second one did 2.17 ghz

most people though seem to get between 1.9 to 2.2 ghz....

ok, I guess I'll wait a while then, I guess the shop will have newer ones by then, the big problem is that I want the Abit NF7-S Rev. 1.2, and I couldn't find a single shop here which sells it (ok, maybe they do, but they don't say which rev, and I don't want to play lucky draw). When I can find one I will try to get the best possible CPU. The should improve, so...

you would think they would improve over time....

but that's not always necessarily true..

my 0302 2100+ is running about 5-7 degrees cooler than my 0304 2100+ running at the same voltage and speed....

hmm....

hmm, lucky draw, eh? But I hope the chance to get a good CPU should be higher... the problem is that if I buy the CPU I would still have to wait quite a while for the board...

imo, your chip(1700+) should easily reach 2GHz
it can also reach 2.2GHz with a little added voltage(1.75v)

don't get your hopes up...

it's not necessarily going to happen...

you may be able to hit 2.0 ghz with default or even 1.7... but if you wanna get 2.2 and you do'nt have that great of a chip, you'll have to use at least 1.8V... TRUST THE GUY THAT'S GONE THROUGH 2 1700+'s AND 3 2100+'s
