Week 24 Bartons have arrived at Newegg!

[Jeff7181]

No you can't, lol. I'm happy with my SK-7... does a very good job... I think the fan is why it's kinda warm.

 

[Hankysmoo]

Hmm, I just got my Barton from newegg today and its labeled AQXEA 0327UPJW. Does that mean I got a week 27? Any ideas on how well this overclocks?

 

[leeperpsu]

in theory that should overclock really well...

but you can only try and see

goodluck

 

[MatthewF01]

well, my 2500+ rolled in today. placed my order on 7/23 and its here in GA from CA on 7/25 (not bad btw...)

Anyway heres the codes before i install the little guy to replace my 1800+ TbredA:

AXDA2500DKV4D
AQXEA 0324SPBW


this thing just looks beautiful!

 

[Ymeister19]

u should feed that chip 1.85 V and see what it does i bet it would run at thaT, PROLLY ROCK SOLID at around 2.4, raise your fsb and lower your multiplier as the higher fsb is much more beneficial

 

[infinite012]

I'm getting jealous here. I was real optimistic about 2.2GHz at stock vcore on my 1700+, but now its just...still at 2.2GHz haha.

Time to buy a barton? Yes. Maybe later, though....

 

[VisableAssassin]

was it an OEM or retail unit?
also up the voltage to 1.85-1.9v and see how far she will go. 1.9v is fine aslong as you can cool it. you wont break it down untill you start hitting 2.0v or higher. i have yet to see any .13 AMD burn out at about the 1.95v mark....2.0v and higher thats a crap shoot

 

[MatthewF01]

so i popped in the 2500+ today and immediately went for 10.5x200, but hell no windows wouldnt load. I tried about a million things, and it just wouldnt take, even after setting voltage up to 1.75 (and im NOT afraid to run 1.85v through this chip or anything, i did that a lot with my TbredA 1800+. I figured, people are doing this with default voltage so i shouldnt need so much yet).

So I just left the FSB at 166 and put the mult. at 10.5 which gives me 1.92ghz and leaves me FAR from satisfied obviously.

Im gonna up the multiplier again and run a few more hours of SETI to see how she takes. This is disappointing thus far, as my TbredA was at 217fsb and here I am at measley 166

Is that REALLY true what some people say about the Bartons overclocking better after a few days of warming up?


Any reccommended overclocks for this guy? My cooling is that I took the HSF from my Coolermaster HHC-001 and used a 60-80mm fan adapter to place a YS Tech adjustable fan on top, which I keep cranked all the way.

 

[Jeff7181]

What motherboard and what RAM are you using?

 

[stonecold3169]

I have a week 23 aqxea, and it overclocks to 11x207 with stock voltage and cooling... idle is 46C, load is 50C, ambient is 31 (it's damn hot here and me with no AC ... temps are low enough that I'm not worried enough to change cooling... with better cooling, this guy should fly! However, my 8rDA+ probably can't go a whole lot higher with the northbridge (revision 1.1)

oh sorry. Im using a Chaintech 7NJS Nforce2 with Corsair pc3200c2 @ 6-3-3-cas2 @ 2.8v

EDIT:

ok so right now im running at 2167mhz via 180*12...
it is looking so far like this chip isnt getting along with high fsb. it failed Prime95 when i had the FSB at 190, and Windows wont boot at 200... this is keeping in mind that my memory and MB can MORE than handle it, as my 1800+ TbredA was running at 217*8.5 no sweat...


so id REAAAALLY like to pump up the bus, but it wont take it. Im on 1.725v right now...

also, I had to change out my cooler. Im using the retail one right now

My modified HHC-001 was pushing 70c or so... which was about what my Tbred ran at too... i know thats really high, but i dont know what the deal is.. i had an 80mm fan on it, and it was a YS tech cranked up all the way!
Well the retail cooler ran a little cooler so that allows me to run a little more voltage through the chip, although now im thinking about putting the retail 60mm back onto the HHC-001.


any words of wisdom? im really at a loss here...
..and considering blowing the L12... (is that BS or is it REALLY gonna get me results?)


thanks guys!

My $83.00 Retail 2500+ from newegg arrived today...week 27.

AQXEA 0327 UPJW

 

[Jeff7181]

MatthewF01... it sounds like your motherboard is what's limiting you... I wouldn't try modifying the CPU. I don't think Chaintech is really known for producing high performing motherboards.

gonzo2k... have you overclocked it yet? Numbers! =)

I don't think so

[Jeff7181]

Guess I missed that... oh well... maybe you just got a not so good CPU.

yes my old TbredA was doing 217fsb!!!

im REALLY upset that this chip cant exceed 185fsb, thats total crap and now im wasting my pc3200!!!

does anyone have any idea what gives here? im really considering performing the L12 bridge blow... any thoughts?

please someone help! im desperate for higher bus!

 

[Jeff7181]

Sell it in FS/FT forums and get another one.
I got $75 for my week 7 XP2500 on eBay.

 

[Schadenfroh]

mine came in today, i dont know what the numbers mean but here it is

axda2500dk4d
aqxea0327tpcw

any good?

 

[Jeff7181]

Don't know... never seen any test results for the TPCW... but it's a week 27... so if it's true that chips get better as they are manufactured, then your's should do really well... at least 2.2 on default voltage like my week 24... maybe 2.3... who knows... probalby not, cause it took 1.750 to get to 2.3 on mine.

MatthewF01.. Hey there.. Your mobo isn't rev 2, right?.. Lower revisions had trouble with higher busspeds on 166 mhz fsb processors. U need to make it a 133 mhz fsb processor I believe and it may work at higher fsb's 4 u.

ahhh... my friend that may be the news of the hour! exactly what i want to hear!
Finally someone who actually suggested the modification of the chip...

If you merely said that lower revisions had trouble hitting higher FSB id say, no as i was doing 217. HOWEVER since you said trouble on higher FSB with 166FSB chips, now THAT makes sense

So you think I should blow the bridge and thatll help me out?



btw, about the whole bridge-blowing process for those who have done it, i tried it out on an old dead 1800+ Palo, and i used a 9v battery, some stripped wire strands from a PATA cable, and 2 safety pins. when i make contact with both bridge contacts, the bridge pops, but it seems like its actually blowing ON one of the gold contacts. Is that normal? I guess i was expecting it to sort of 'explode' in the middle similar to the laser-cut pits. am i wrong in my reasoning?

No I heard thta in A7n8x deluxe if you have lower revisions all you have to do is upgrade the Bios so it supports the FSB200 Mhz alright.

 

[Khyron320]

W0W some of you are running at 1.850V? Bartons can take that? I wouldnt dare try over 1.8 on a tbred

 

[Mavrick007]

I got a couple of AQXEA 0323WPDW cpu a week ago from Newegg and I haven't had time to try mine out yet but I can't wait.
One is for my new 8rda3+ and the other is for my friend's NF7-S.

Edit: What were your guys chips originally made as before being marked as 2500+'s? Mine was a 2800+.
Check the 8th and 9th digit on the second string of characters after the AXDA string and it should tell you what the chip was originally tested to be.

Many people will argue that that's just a theory, and there's no proof that that's what those digits mean. Sounds logical to me... but again... some people WILL argue it =)
