Dead Tbred? Post here!

I'd like to know about your dead Tbred, what'd you do to kill it? Give information you think is relevant.

Voltage, cooling, chip speed, stepping, overclocked, how long you've run it, etc etc.


Thanks
Jonathan
 
1600XP 1.95v's @2.1GHz (stepping AGOIA)...HS fan on an AX7 went out...Puter shutdown but to late...still looks good may it ...RIP 🙁

Nice TBred u got there 😛
 
1.4 T-bird - not sure - too high fsb for too long (195fsb @ 1.89v I think)

NON T-bred ___________
xp1600 - unseated HSF - (smells cooked 😛 )
 
So far it looks like they have been the hs/f's fault. I wonder if any ppl are getting dead T-Breds from too high of voltage....

Exactly what I am trying to find out.

Thanks for the posts guys, keep em coming.

2400+ @ 2.32ghz @ 1.95v ::sniff:: You will be missed. PS, the voltage did it in.

Not quite...possible RMA and my new ones @ 2.4GHz (AIUHB) 😀
 
good thread here...I was waiting for this myslef as an intel user but an avid ocer... was wondering how amds .13 offering was able to achieve such high vcore with little initial effect...

When you look at it:

P4 northwood = 1.5v default and 1.85v being dnager...my damaged not death of a 1.8a happened at 1.83v...It still overclocked 425mhz the day I removed it....

AMD Tbred(.13) = 1.6v default and 1.95v being the magic number I see here and 2 other cases I have seen...

What does this say??? It seems as AMD chips take a bity more but the delta is very similar o the damage threshold og the p4.....It is too early to tell for sure but I do see many reference they do not want to gover 1.85v which would be like a p4 user not going over 1.75v. The 1.75v has been a recognized warning area for quite some time now and it seems to limit damage to the p4's...


The main thing is actual vcore...Are those 1.95v the bios set vcore or actual idle and load vcore???

He did not have a Tbred dude.

That was exactly my point the whole time pillage2001, lol. nobody caught on i guess.

i caught on, but was lazy and had to finish off a response trying to critically analyze one of shakespeare's sonnets lol

I think most people stop at 1.85V b/c thats what most BIOS limits them to w/out physical voltage mods. I'm sure its no coincidence though, as AMD and/or mobo makers realized that more than 1.85V could have adverse effects (like dead processors 🙂 ). My current board (A7N8XD) overvolts .05 exactly, and with a 480 TrueBlue, it doesn't fluctuate at all. I haven't run 1.85V (1.9V) though since I tested the headroom of the core when I first got my 2100+. I run now at 1.80V (1.85V), though I may up it again when I get my new RAM.

Chiz

 
good thread......let's see whether the t-bred can withstand such high voltages or fail(electromigration) like intel's northwood(SNDS)
 
Glad most people agree this is a good thread. I am curious to know what kind of voltage kills these things. I run at 1.9v for over a week now, and its pretty stable. Though if more cases of these tbreds dying, I might back off.

More results please 🙂
 
ehh just to keep the thread up
i just got 1700+ tbred b a bit ago, and im running it in my a7v at 1.25v haha

(granted its only at 1250mhz...hehe)

but tht will change when i get new board.....and from the looks of it i wont go above 1.85ish haha
