XP1700+ TBred (OEM) for $51 shipped at Newegg

[minendo]

Link

Currently, the chip is $51 and last night when I placed my order shipping was free.

 

[Coraanu]

Good deal! It was $50 free ship at Googlegear a few days ago. =]

I bought my 1700+ in late January 2003 from NewEgg (great dealer) and found a program and guide last night that will tell you when your AMD CPU was built and what the REAL speed/rating is of the AMD CPU you purchased.

If they are correct, and I do not doubt them (yet), my 1700+ was originally a 2700+ but rebagged and sold to me as a 1700+!!!

That is one heck of a deal, $50 for an almost $200 processor!

Guide to choosing an Athlon XP Thoroughbred Revision B

I did post this earlier but it got moved to the CPU/Processors Overclocking Forum for obvious reasons. Still, I found it great (hot) information....

I got two of them when they were $45 shipped at Newegg about two months ago; Excellent performance

 

[mngisdood]

I just wish they (newegg) could give some certainty as to the revision you'll receive. From reports and convo's, it appears to be about 40% tbred b's and 40% tbred a's, with a margin of error of 20%

That said, I am thiiiiiiiis close to upgrading my k6-3 to an athlon.

This was @ $50 a couple of days ago.

Buy the cheapest chip of the latest series, and overclock it like crazy. Too bad Newegg still seems to ship a mix of older and newer chips Tbreds. Still, most cheap Pricewatch listings don't say if a vendor is shipping Tbreds, or old Palominos.

Got a Newegg B a few weeks back, a JIUHB 0302, doing 2012 MHz with a $5 GC68 cooler after bumping the vcore up to 1.8 volts. The later Tbred B's are reported to overclock much better, and the earlier A's don't do as well.

What about these guys ? NUTREND.COM
It says it's an; AMD Athlon XP 1700+ Thoroughbred /266 FSB Processor CPU 1700+/ 1.47GHz -OEM, AXDA1700
and it's only $49.00 Shipped.
They any good ?
Also do these 1700's need to be unlocked ??

 

[akahai]

has any got any revision B laterly??

 

[rch4001]

there were some posts a while back that said Newegg and Nutrend were both owned by the same company. If that is true then maybe the service is as good, but I have never ordered from them.

 

[Banana]

I've ordered a CPU from Nutrend. No problems. The two vendors are rather similar! Another possible relative is Multiwave.com (or is it mwave.com?).

 

[vexingv]

this is an awesome deal...these babies overclock like crazy

i'm actually a lil surprised that they're still selliing for $51 since i bought one of these in Jan. for $52; btw i OC-ed it to 1834mghz (roughly 2200+), didnt want to up it anymore cuz running @ 40 C rite now

 

[corinthos]

I got mine at Nutrend... it can do around 2050ghz

I'd chill on the Square pillage2001 or it may be going down...6" Under ...ANYHOOTS
ExCaliber just got a new shipment for a few extra $'s but guarentees the week and stepping

My 1600XP (non-throughbred, AGOIA, I think) running at 2000XP speed sometimes would get as high as 69C on my Epox 8K7A. This usually happened on a very hot day with my CPU doing some pedal-to-the-metal stuff. Surprisingly, it didn't crash too much when it was like this. I recently got a 60MM to 80MM converter and put a bigger (and quieter) fan on this same CPU and it runs 59C under extreme duress on hot days. Doing everyday stuff, it is about 45c.

So if you are worried about 40c being too high, that is kind of strange for AMD chips which run hot. The fact they run hot is what makes them so good. P4s run cooler because Intel puts in some fancy cooling throttle back stuff, which actually hurts the performance of the CPU. AMD said screw the limiters and their CPUs will go pedal-to-the-metal as long as you want, kind of like a horse running until it drops dead.

Nutrend, newegg, and ABS are all one and the same.

Wish I knew this earlier today. I just sold a T'bred b 1800 for $70, and according to your site it was really a 2700+ downgraded. :frown:

I know. I'm just trying to squeeze as much as I can. I'm changing my case pretty soon to have a better air flow. It does 2.2ghz at 60c but craps out on prime95. The heat is too much. I need better cooling for oc.

 

[Kenny0829]

Update !!
Both went up $1.00

Newegg = $52.00
Newtrend = $50.00

Guess they are the same company...along with ABS.
DUH.....

I should have noticed that the stock nuimbers were almost the same

 

[pillage2001]

Any idea what those chips are?? Anybody ordered and got it?? please update.

 

[Kenny0829]

OK.. I went for it, on NuTrend...
Cost = $50.00
Expect delivery on / or about 4/04/03
I'll keep you posted on what I receive, and how soon it gets here.
The site says " NO SUPPORT FOR UPGRADE PRODUCTS"
GEE... guess that means when I UnLock it , I'm on my own ...... DUH !!!!

Results will come later.
Hope I get Lucky...... for ONCE .....
Just don't know how far I can push this on my Present MB, Asus A7V133 ( raid) , rev. 1.04, bios 1008
Any Ideas??

 

[thebestMAX]

Running the one I got from NEWEGG now at 2G (12.5x166) and rock solid with temps of 96F idle to 102F full load with Vantec Aeroflow cooler. More to come, I am sure. Oh, paid 46.99 delivered last week in Jan.


AXDA1700DUT3C

The one I ordered from NewEgg is a TBred B.

 

[phatboi]

i ordered one a few days ago, i've noticed that the price was dropping and then fluctating. i finally bit and bought one on monday i think. i'll post if it's a T-bred B or not when i get it. should come in sometime next week.

 

[Blooz1]

Just out of curiosity, I went through the "feedback left by buyers at NewEgg for March. There were 36 comments so far for the month.

The "breakdown" as to A vs. B is as follows:

Received "A" chips - 13
Received "B" chips - 11
No comment on Rev. - 12

Looks like the odds of getting a Rev "A" are better than 50%! I've ordered two of these guys, and got an "A" the first time, and a "B" on the second order. (It's not like the "A" doesn't O/C though..mine topped out at 1.95GHz...)
