not sure what HSF you are referring to there ..can you tell us what it is..? and gl 🙂 believe you might wish to consider the an NF2 mobo ..

Okay...I mis-spoke. I have a case fan that fits in the expansion slots of the case. I think it may be an Antec fan, but I can't remember. That was over a year ago, and a lot has happened in a year. anyway, are you familiar with the style fan I am referring? if not, i can always find a link to show you.

PCI slot fan ..ok I catch what you are referring to ..work well to cool vid cards 🙂definitely don't grab this proc and expect to bump up its speed with that ECS you listed.. and gl
 
I do have Artic Alumina grease, so that will help, and I also have one of those fans that are held by the slots on the case. I don't overclock, so will I be okay with my existing CPU fan?

Sounds sadly like a Zalman heatsink/fan combo. Those barely cool.
 
well, looks like my mobo didn't support me to the 2GHz mark, currently i am stable at 1985MHz

the mobo is MSI KT3 Ultra2...

good luck to u guys!!
 
Well rlc that is the mobo Im putting mine in. I got the rev B tonite. I have 2 sticks of crucial 2100 so maybe by the weekend i ill know what I can get mine up to.
 
So it's for sure now that if we order from newegg, it will be TBred "B", right?

As said on newegg site:
CPU: 1.47 GHz
Type: 1700 XP
Cache: 256K
BUS: 266MHz
Micron: .13

Is Micron .13 a dead give away?

Also, without extreme cooling and stock HSF, what's speed can I oc to? 2400+?
Thanks.

 
Only thing sure is death and taxes, hehe. It looks like the "B" stepping is what the people are getting. I ordered one myself to go on my Abit kx7-333r. I have some Corsair xms3200 I can test with, but will be using crucial pc2100 with the processor. If anyone is interested, I have a pretty good watercooling setup in my main box, could put in there and really give it a test.
 
Here's an update for folks who ordered the TBred B XP2100+ for $97:

Newegg has now corrected the conflicting model numbers to show AXDA2100DUT3C in both places of the description.

They also jacked up the price from $97 to $101.

People who got this chip from Newegg reported 2.4-2.5GHz at 2V, probably 2.1-2.2GHz at 1.85V, and all this is on air.

Looks pretty exciting...

Just a polite word of warning. 0.13 micron chips are fairly fragile. AMD specs the max operating voltage of TBred chips at 2.0v, at or above that, you may damage the chip. However, that spec may be leftover from from the Paliminos due to editing errors (I found another different error in the same .pdf doc), one of the recent articles on www.overclockers.com written by Ed mentions 1.85v as the max voltage for a TBred XP chip, which actually makes more sense. If you are planning on doing any "serious work" at all with your rigs, I would strongly suggest not going above 1.85v. One of the largest areas on the chip (besides the L2 cache), and most complex, and probably most easily damaged, is the FPU/SSE execution pipeline. If you are only doing it for fun (gaming rig/internet client), then by all means risk frying your $50 chip, but if you plan to calculate spreadsheets or other financial data (even Quicken), my suggestion is don't push the limit.

I've found that I can OC my TBred-A XP1800+ chip to 166Mhz x 10.0 at stock 1.5v, and can boot/shutdown windows and run most programs fine at 166 x 11.0 @ 1.6v (max mobo will let me adjust), but there isn't enough power for the FPU/SSE section of the chip at that speed, and gives errors under Prime95, and visual artifacts running the OpenGL "Pipes" screensaver, on W2K with GF2 MX 32MB AGP 4x, Det. 42.01 drivers, also 30.82s. You have been warned.
 
Got the 2100+ that I ordered Friday morning from Newegg....its *CONFIRMED* to be a T-bred B

As if there was any doubt 😉

I just got home from work, its a T-bred B on Green OPGA just like the pic on Newegg.

Here's the stepping and model info:

AXDA2100DUT3C 9597107260166
AIUHB 0248MPMW

Gonna pop her in and see what she'll do 🙂

DUDE, QUICK!!!!!!!!
 
I'm putting in a bunch of other stuff like a TT Coolmod 2 fan and a few other fans to replace the Adda's in my Lian-Li and hooking up the thermal headers on the T-3....so it might take a while. I'm kinda tired from work though...gonna power down and install it now..but feeling very, very sleeeeeepy.................................................

Has anyone gotten 2ghz with this yet? The best setting for 2ghz is 12x166: a pretty low multiplier, a high (but future standard) fsb setting and ddr333 sync. Why don't you try and fire up the voltage to 1.7volts, and run 12x166, most t-bred a 1800+ can ge this, surprised that a 1700+ t-bred b can't.
 
I just got my 2 today....both are Throughbred B's....AXDA1700DUT3C...running one at 1596, 12x133 in my MSI K7T Turbo2 MB at 1.5 volts...runs very cool @ 29 degrees with a cheapo Coolermaster CP5-6J31C HSF. I have flashed the latest BIOS and it recognizes it as a XP1900+ but I cannot get it to recognize it at any higher multipliers even though I can change it up to 15X 133 in setup. It just slows it back to 667 when I save and restart. Anybody know anyway around this?
 
Just put mine in (replaced a Palo 1800+) and went right to 1800 MHz (12*150) at stock voltage of 1.6 volts. That is AMD 2200+ speed. Ran 3DMark2001 SE and got 10,488 (first time I've been over the 10,000 mark). My previous high was 9805 with the Palo at 1,661 MHz.

40 degrees C while surfing the web...41 if I watch TV too.

AXDA1700DUT3C
JIUCB 0251SPMW

GC68 HS with stock fan (Arctic Silver paste)
512MB Mushkin Basic PC2100 DDR RAM (one stick)
Abit KR7A-133 (non-RAID)
PNY Verto GF4 Ti4200 64MB
Windows XP Pro

Looks like more room to go higher. I hope the PCI/AGP bus multipliers and/or RAM will let me keep going...

The low cost and high OC reminds me of OC'ing my old 533a Celeron. 🙂


BTW, where can I find this Prime95 burn-in, stress test program some people are talking about?
 
not surprised, the "j" stepping seems to be a bad revision as most people are oc well with those. the "a" steppings are the one getting 2.4ghz air cooled.
