Tbred B Topping out at 1700 (Problem Solved, All is Good!!!)

[Armageddon415]

Heres the stepping on my chip:
AXDA1700DUT3C
JIUHB0311XPMW

I'm using a Shuttle SN41G2 and the highest I can reach is 11x155. My xp1600 could do higher then that on default volts. I know its not my ram since I could run it at 200mhz if i leave it async. Do I need to add more voltage?

This was such a dissapointing result

Heres my specs:
Shuttle SN41G2
2x256 Kingmax pc2700
80gb seagate
onboard vid


I also tried a stick of corsair xms and did no better.

Give it more Vcore.

 

[Armageddon415]

Tried bumping the vcore up to 1.77 still cant even get it to boot at 170. Right now I can get it to windows at 160 with the vcore at 1.63. I was at least hoping for it to work at 166 at default vcore. Is that so much to ask

 

[fhetw]

what were you getting with the 1600+ was it under the same specs?
you also have a dut3c, while most amazing 1700 ocs are on the dL
what are you other specs. are you using a minipc?

 

[Armageddon415]

my 1600 got me 1750 with the exact same setup i'm using for the 1700. Even if its a dut3c it should still be able to do 166.

Lol... sounds like my old 1700+ TBredA...
hit 1700Mhz at 1.65V, then wouldn't budge, even at 1.9

I don't think thats a known overclocking motherboard.

Try it at 166mhz FSB, not sure if that board has a 1/5 divider or not. Your AGP/PCI is probally running out of spec.

No, there are some dud Tbred Bs. I've got a 2100+ that runs great stock at stock voltage, but won't make 1800MHz, even at 1.85V.

 

[Armageddon415]

Problem fixed. Apparently theres issues with the stick of corsair. Got it running at 2ghz now. This is more like what I was expecting.

Good to hear

That shuttle must be so sweet! What vcore & FSB are you running at? was thinking about getting a SN41G2 with my XP1700+, but mines a crappy JIUCB that needs 1.9 volts to hit 2ghz :| What's the max vcore option in the bios?

 

[Armageddon415]

Vcore is at 1.58, default is suppose to be 1.6 and my fsb 185. There is actually no way to change the vcore in the bios, I change it by doing the pin mod on the motherboard. Would like to see if I can go higher but I have no clue if its the ram or cpu holding me back.

Lucky you. Wish mine were that simple, but unfortunately, I've tested my system with an identical Tbred B 2100+ that hits 2266MHz rock stable. Other chip won't post over 1800MHz.
