I gotta agree with RoninCS. For $41 you are complaining about 2 Ghz? I also have 2 of the DUT3C stepping XP 1700+ cpu's mounted on a couple of MSI KT3 Ultra2 mainboards. One is good for 2.0 @1.625 volts, while the other has no problems running 2.1 Ghz at 1.625 volts. They might be able to go higher, but I am using "cost effective" Heatsinks and fans, and am happy to have stable, cool running systems. (Both are under 40 C at idle with hsf that cost less than $20 shipped) For less than $45 each, how can I complain?Originally posted by: RoninCS
So, lemme get this straight. You took a 1.47GHz CPU and got it to 2GHz, and you're complaining?Yes, I'm aware that the 1700+ is an OCing monster, but sometimes you just won't get as far as others. As far as voltage is concerned, you could probably go up to 1.9V and still be ok (least I have with my 1800+ with no problems).
