WTF IS THIS?!?!?!

Might be interesting to try though.

That doesn't mean they'd make it through the validation that AMD puts them through to ensure they'll run at the specified voltage with a margin of error included to allow for variances in power supplies and motherboards.

we're more interested in how the chip overclocks... also, just because a chip runs at the same voltage and frequency as another chip, doesn't mean it's just as good.

Nowhere did I say the 1.45v mobiles are just as good as the 1.35v mobiles, or vice versa. What I did say, was that I was interested in them, just like you are. AMD validation or not, I know some 1.45v mobiles can do that speed at that voltage. It was just a simple statement, nothing more to look into.

I've been thinking, and I'm pretty close to ordering one of these. Would anyone be interested in seeing my tests if I get one?

 

[Mik3y]

ya, i would totally wanna see your tests. if you are to successfully get the fsb to 200 itself, you can get 2500Mhz rigt there!

 

[Avalon]

I can pretty much get one of these for free. If it does well, I'd sell my current 2600+ mobile on eBay. Might be able to get a bit over $100 for it. There's $25 in my pocket, and a 35w mobile XP 🙂. I think I will give it a try.

Excalibur PCs has the 2400+ version, but is out of stock. Here is the link.

These are the 2400+ 35 watt, 1.35 volt barton mobiles.. $87 - newegg mistyped the voltage, but look at the codes!

 

[Avalon]

That model code is definitely for the 35w mobile. $87 is a good price too. I think it's time to order 🙂

 

[DaNorthface]

let us know how it goes...

 

[Avalon]

Bah...I'm currently in the middle of a move, and an address change for my bank account + all CC cards is pending...I can't order at the moment, since I don't know when the change will be verified. I should know in a couple days. So annoying.

 

[DaNorthface]

btw, how many volts does it take you to get to 2600 mhz on that 2600M-XP?

 

[Avalon]

1.85v actual, 1.875 bios 🙂
I don't run it like that during normal usage, though. Have to keep the thing alive 😛

 

[Shimmishim]

i run my at 2600 mhz as well... need 1.85 bios (1.82-1.83 actual)

eh... i figure if it dies, it's only $80 something to replace it! 🙂

 

[DaNorthface]

Newegg has updated the info on the 2400+ 1.35 volt mobile chip. It is in fact 1.35 volts - 35 watts!!! Someone buy it and tell us how it overclocks!

 

[DaNorthface]

NEWEGG 2400+M-XP 35 w, 1.35 volts

 

[Avalon]

Thanks again for the link, DaNorthface. It was a good find 🙂
Sooner than expected, I've got this processor ordered. Hopefully newegg will send it out tonight. I'll have it Thursday.

when you click on processors and then click on athlon xp mobile, this 2400+ doesn't show up...

but if you do a search for 2400+ it does.

very interesting...

anyway, i ordered one as well.

 

[DaNorthface]

cool, let us know the stepping you get and how it does.. well they sold out on the 2200+ 1.35 volt ones..

Woot! Can't wait for the results!😀

 

[touchmyichi]

haha... this is getting VERY tempting now. I already have a barton at 2.4 ghz though, hopefully this will substain me. I think I will only buy a new one if a batch is consistantly getting over 2.6 (which won't happen).

 

[Avalon]

Perhaps I should have swallowed the $2 for rush processing. I'm sitting at Step 2 on the Newegg order status screen clicking refresh every once in a while. I can't wait for it to ship. I'm going to have to do something about my cooling situation when I get the chip. My generic steel case with virtually no airflow is going to hurt testing. Perhaps I'll wait until no one is home, open my case's side panel, lay it on its side underneath the AC vent, and crank the AC down really low for a bit 😛
Or, I could turn my TT V7 on to the dreaded "high" speed and get some earplugs 😀

This may be incentive to hurry up and get my Lian Li case replacement.

 

[Zebo]

Pretty sweet.🙂

....must resist...

 

[kyparrish]

haha

 

[gistech1978]

i couldnt resist and went ahead and ordered the 2400+ 1.35v chip a few minutes ago.

i should have it by the end of the week.
:thumbsup:
