What kind of amd chip is this? **PIC**

[nick1985]

can anyone tell what this is by just looking at it?

my girlfriend had an old HP computer rotting in her garage that was broken, so she gave it to me to tinker with. i found a working seagate 60 gig :beer:, and this CPU. the PSU went bad and took out the mobo is my conclusion. if this chip still works i would like to try and get a second rig up and running.

is it a t-bird? or an original athlon?

 

[RichieZ]

looks like a thunderbird to me (first socket a athlon, regular athon not XP)

read the markings off the die and post it up here to confirm

 

[Jeff7181]

If you can provide a better picture so we can read the stepping on the core then it would be easy to figure it out =)

 

[DeviousTrap]

Yup, definatly looks like a T-bird to me

EDIT > Google prooves it.

 

[nick1985]

after scratching away the heatsink goo on the core, i see its an "amd athlon" ayhja0140epbw made in '99

is this compatible with modern AMD mobo's? (t-birds were around before i got into computers, sorry for my lack of knowledge on the subject)

Depends, I would probebly find a old KT266A mobo and stick it in that. Cheap and reliable.

 

[nick1985]

the mobo it was in had SD memory with some sort of via chipset. will this sucker work in the k7s5a? i might just grab one of those for 35 at newegg and use the sd-ram i haev for it in the time being.

That would work. The specs say it supports the Athlon

That looks like the kind of chip that doesn't go to the prom with their high school girlfriend. But I may be wrong.

Some of those AYHJA cores hit 1.7 GHz on air...

Cheers!

Actually it was made in week 40, 2001.

does that mean (if it still works) that its overclockable?

the PSU took out the mobo, so im not even sure if this chip still works

It's possible, see if you can get the full stepping, as well as which L1 bridges are cut and which are still in tact... should be able to figure out the exact core and the multliplier setting with that, which will tell you the default speed if it doesn't say it on the core.

Looks like a 1.4 Thunderbird to me......Mine hit 1.76 on factory heatsink.

 

[Jeff7181]

Yup, definately a 1.4 Ghz Thunderbird

see for yourself

 

[nick1985]

thanks guys

:beer:'s for all

so what chipsets is this guy compatible with?

 

[bsr]

KT266A chip ... supports duron/athlon/ and athlon xp (upto 266/133mhz bus)..

 

[Jeff7181]

It'll work on anything from the KT266 on up to the latest nForce2 I'm pretty sure.

 

[nick1985]

it will work on the nforce2?

 

[Jeff7181]

I'm pretty sure it will... but I could be wrong... I'll see what I can find out.

 

[Jeff7181]

According to Asus' site, my A7N8X Deluxe supports AMD Athlon, Duron, and Athlon XP processors from 600 Mhz on up. So yeah, looks like the 1.4 Ghz Athlon would work fine.

the mobo it was in had SD memory with some sort of via chipset. will this sucker work in the k7s5a

Yes it will,I`m using an old T-bird in my ECS K7S5A board(backup PC) after my MSI K7T PRO(VIA KT133 chipset) died,the advantage of the ECS K7S5A is that you can use either normal SDRAM(PC 100/133) or DDRAM(PC1600/PC2100).
