[TimeKeeper]

Last week, I got a GREEN XP1700 from newegg.
This week, I got a BROWN XP1700.

Both has identical

AXDA 1700UT3

Original and early production XP chips were brown. Newer ones are green.

hmm...seems Green one able to run 2600+ w/ 1.65V and Brown one doesn't even run at 2600+ w/ 1.7V

how did you guys get your chips so high with such low voltages? the best i have done is 1.75 volts for 2000mhz (166x12). i'm using the stock amd hsf...i'm guessing you guys are watercooling? i'm wondering if it's worth investing in a new hsf...

60mm to 80mm adaptor w/ 5V mod Fan. (Quiet~~~)

I had a Gigabyte 7VRXP (KT333) before, and I can't push my green one OVER 166FSB barrier.
Then I got the MSI K7 Ultra (KT400) , SAME CPU run 12X166@1.65V extremely stable.
I could run 13X166@1.7V, but it gets too hot in my case. (still no problem running it though)
So...invest in new HSF? Maybe the problem is your mobo?

ROFL, dude they're not getting 2600mhz, they're saying it can perform like an AMD Athlon XP 2600+ when overclocked. LOL.
