I got a red PCB AGOIA, and it looks to be the "Y" stepping. Please lmk if you guys can help me figure it out :):

AX1600DMT3C
AGOIA 0213SPRW
Y8046680107

Anyone know if this is indeed a "Y" stepping? Also, my brother received his and he got an AROIA core, which I know is newer, my question is does it have the same OC potential as the older AGOIA cores? Please help me out here experts. :D

Kenny, dunno about the stepping, but your agoia looks to be week 13 of 2002 (0213)
\geek on\ as for AROIA, look here ([url]www.overclockers.com)[/url] for some results posted as to OC results w/ different steppings. AROIA seems about the same as AGOIA (flame on) \geek off\
peace

Just an FYI, motherboard, or chipset, seems to make a big difference (I know this is no news to some of you). My AROIA XP1600 would only run 148 fsb stable(the same as the first gen. AGKGA XP1600 I swapped it out for) regardless of voltage or cooling on my Gigabyte GA7VTXE KT266A board. I changed boards to the ASUS A7V333 and now running 170 fsb (1785mhz) just fine.

Well my XP1600+ that I received yesterday had a very quick two hour session in my KT7A last nite at standard speed.

I then went out to Walmart and bought one wallpaper knife 87c and on twin-pack of super glue 99c.

Stopped off at Autozone to get a defogger kit - 9.99!!! A bit OTT if u ask me!
It was a useless pen type - would not recommend this at all.
I was there for around 15mins to get the tiniest drop to come out - will be taking it back tonight!

Well anyway - I eventually got the CPU unlocked - it was a lot more work than I expected - especially after being used to the old Pencil trick for the last few years ;)

To cut a very long story of re-boots and no-posts later I eventually got myself up and running at XP2000+ speeds with 1.775v

If only I could get a higher multiplier with the KT7A I'd be happier :D - Currently using 12.5 x 133FSB

I'll try using 140FSB later this evening ;)

Uhmmm....not that I am aware of ;)

Kinda Brownish board and greenish/blueish core I think?

In fact I'm not really too sure what colour the core was now - the pic I took of it last night looks pretty crap really - can't tell from it - too much thermal paste to see clearly enough :eek:

I'm not prejudiced though - I really don't mind what colour my CPU is - as long as I can flog it overclocked all day and night :D

You gotta be kidding me! I just received and installed my 1600+ today (AGOIA "Y" stepping), cranked it up to 166 at default voltage and let her rip. It booted, loaded Win XP, ran 2 loops of 3DMark2001SE, SETI for an hour and was 100% stable! 1743 for $52 shipped? What a deal! :)

Does anyone know of a better cooler than the SK6? It was running a bit hotter than I like. Thanks. :)

Just unlocked my cpu and ran it at 11x166 = 1826 mhz at 1.825v, It goes higher, but wont budge unless I crank the voltage up to 1.9 volts.

BTW AROIA core on a fop-38 that I got from SVC for $4.25. I'm planning on getting a better cooler.
