Duron 1.4G at Newegg for like $40 - what speeds are people getting out of them?

I figure for $40 it can't be that bad of investment. How fast are people getting out of these buggers?

yeah that sounds like a much better deal to me. i'm assuming that you aren't planning on OCing your CPU too much or you'd be looking at something better than that Duron. if that's the case, then this fry's deal sounds great. the 1800+ is an athlon XP, which has twice as much cache as the duron. also, if you want a better mobo than the one that comes w/ the cpu from fry's, newegg has the 1700+ and 1800+ for only $11 and $13 more respectively. the 1700+ is a tremendous OCer too.
 
I got 2070Mhz out of my 1600 Duron on stock voltage. Part of my HTPC with a stock 2500+ cooler so I won't be bumping the voltage. Has run 24x7x365 for the past month that way 🙂
 
I'm really tempted to get one of these 1.4 Duron. I bet these will overclock to 2.4-2.5. For $36 shipped I just might get one to play around with.

Dude, again... You ain't getting to 2.4-2.5 with a freaking 1.4 duron..

Why not? There are already several reports of people pushing these 1.4G Durons to 2.4-2.5 and higher.

This person is getting 2.75g with 1.4G Duron /w L2 bridge mod on air. Granted he's not stable but he's stable at 2.5g. Another person in the same thread got 2.1g on 1.45v. 1.45v!

I don't see why 2.4-2.5g from 1.4g chip is so hard to believe when there are DLTC 1700+ Tbreds which are clocked at 1.4g doing the same. Not to mention DLTC 1800+ HB or IB 0333 which are equaling or surpassing that on lower voltage.

I just purchased 1800+ DLTC chip so I'll likely pass on 1.4G Duron/Applebred unless that chip turns out to be real crappy overclocker.

2 people... I don't think you get it.

No, YOU don't get it. Do you know how many vendors sell Duron 1.6G on Pricewatch? 11 total. Yes that's right. 11 TOTAL. How about 1.4G Duron? I only know one place that sells these currently, Newegg. These chips are not readily available like Tbreds and Bartons. You then have to consider that not too many people even want Duron/Applebred. So of course you're not going to have flood of reports of people posting their Duron results. But early reports from few people who have tested these chips have been encouraging and have reported that these chips overclock as well or better than their big brothers XP and Bartons.

Mamisano from this thread also reported that he got 2.1g on 1.45V. When you get that kind of speed on such low voltage you have good chance of hitting 2.3-2.5 with some voltage increase.

This is moot point now as people are reporting that newer Duron/Applebreds are coming locked. So this ends any chance of insane overclocks. Also ends my comment on this thread.
 
whatever dude, if you are so sure get it and try it out, oh wait you're not going to because you know you ain't getting anywhere near 2.5 and it would be smarter to get an xp anyways.

To all the folks who are saying get an XP1700/1800 instead ,they are virtually no longer availble here in the UK ,even when they are they are considerabley more expensive than the Duron 1.4GHz & more expensive than they were just a few months ago or more.

Naustica & Madrat
I've just bought 3 of these 1.4GHz Durons to go in cheapo Internet rigs.
I will let you guys know what they overclock to ,though we'll have to bear in that they each have only a modest HSF (CMstr DP5 6I11A) rated to XP1800 & the mbrds have no multiplier adjustments ,I'm told that their are FSB adjustments though the manual seems to say otherwise🙁.Oh yeah & no vcore adjustment.Worse case scenario is I can only do 14x133 ,but that's still good for 1.86GHz🙂.If your interested their mbrds are Syntax SV266a's.

I suppose I could try 1 out in my main rig😉

Are all 1.4GHz Durons Applebreds?
Are they really locked?🙁

I can tell you that none of my 3 Durons have the heavy Ceramic package
 
I just got a 1.8 ghz duron from the new frys deal. These things are great! I had it running at 2.2 ghz at 1.725 volts (I haven't tried for lower volts yet) . The problem right now is that my a7n8x deluxe will not let me increase the voltage more past 1.75 leaving me stuck at a max of 2.3 ghz. (I currently have the 1007 uber bios, anyone know a remedy to this?)

Anyways though, these things are about equal to the dlt3c tbreds. All of them run at either 1.5v or 1.45 v default. My 1.8 ghz is rated to run at 1.5v. I would have to say that these are much safer than buying a 1800+ off of newegg and coming out dissapointed by a DUT3C core. And also consider the price, for 36 bucks a 1.4ghz duron is yours. Think about it, almost all of these are doing over 2.1 ghz with ease, given adequate cooling. Also the fact that modding one to a tbred makes this even more desirable.

So.... there you have it... I highly recommend it.

As far as I know every Duron above 1.3GHz is the Applebred core and they run a 266MHz FSB by default. This would mean a 12x multiplier not 14x.
 
I thought the 133FSB Durons only started at 1.6GHz?

Yeah according to Ebuyers list of AMD CPU's they do ,though they have been known to be wrong before.

I've just remebered the FSB speed used to be shown in the CPU code as a letter ,but can't remember which is which!😱
 
Applebreds start out at 1.4Ghz. It is actually a t-bred with cache disabled, not a seperate core like spitfire and morgan were.
 
Thanks for the info🙂

Justly
You were right ,the 1.4GHz Duron is on a 133FSB ,though its a 10.5 multi not 12😉


And it turns out these mbrds have a 1MHz FSB steps all the way to 165! ,not bad for a £21 mbrd!:Q
Haven't tried overclocking yet
