2400+ 2500+ 2600+ Mobile Bartons back @ newegg

Yeah, that would seem to make sense. I have always found that with air cooling once you hit a chip's limit at stock voltage you won't get much higer with extra voltage because of the heat. Of course that is obviated by having water cooling and such. Then you have more leeway to up the voltage.

My chip is now completely stable at 2.4 with 1.7V. Burned in/stressed for 12 hours and UT2004 for 2 hours. Must say that I am quite pleased with this little $77 purchase so far.

Woot!

AQYFA 0343 Newegg from NJ warehouse a few days ago.
2400-M 200 x 12.5 @ 1.75V Temps 36c-43c.

Temps are getting a bit high for my tastes with summer coming so I won't push the volts any more. I still might have a little room with the clock at present Vcore, though.

I've also go a AQYFA 0343 mobile 2400+, currently doing 2.3GHz rock solid stable @ 1.7V; passes Prime and did 200 rounds of Sandra burn-in with F@H running as well (50/50). All games are working flawlessly and I've seen drastic improvement over my 1.47GHz Athlon XP.

2.4GHz is semi-stable @ 1.85V but I usually hit 61 degrees C under full load and I'm not a huge fan of high temps and voltage so I've backed it down. Once I get myself some better cooling I'll see what I can do with it. Definately not bad, getting much better peformance from a $77 chip vs. a $200 chip at stock speeds is definately a hot deal.

Highly tempted to try out another chip, would love for several of my friends to suddenly all need "upgrades" so I can build them some rigs and play with some different steppings.

Got my 2400+MP running at 2.2Ghz at 1.6v On 512MB pc2100 ram on a abit nf7 MB! SWEET!

That CPU is sitting out front gunning it's Ferrari engine in idle while your RAM is trying to drag it's drunk, 80 year-old, 800-pound ass out of bed. What good is a processor that fast if it spends 85% of it's time waiting for data from ass-slow RAM? YOU OWE IT TO YOUR PROCESSOR TO UPGRADE THAT RAM!

LOL...80 year old, 800 pound ass out of bed!!! Hey...leave that fellow alone!! I ordered a 2400+ M to go with some PC2700 RAM (Kbyte) and I'd be content to get an OC to 2.2 GHz After all...an unlocked mobile CPU doesn't seem like such a good deal if everyone has to upgrade other components (e.g., RAM) to get any benefits of OCing.

What do you folks think would be the highest OC for a 2400+ AND STILL get longevity from the CPU (i.e., how fast can this puppy run and STILL NOT burn up within ~3 years of use at about 2 hours a day on average with pretty good air cooling)? Would 2.2 to 2.3 GHz be safe and last for 3 years? Seems like it would based on all I've read lately.

Thanks,

Bud

85% of its time waiting for data is a massive exaggeration.

He must work for the ram companies that want you to spend $300 on ram for a $75 cpu, j/k

Bah, guess im one of the unlucky ones.
I got the 2600 (IQYHA) and I am using my amd 1800's stock cooling. My motherboard is the Asus A7N8X-deluxe.

Max overclock
2400mhz (200fsb x 12.0) @ 1.65 voltage - 44C temp

I tried raising the voltage all the way up to 1.825 (temps got up to a toasty 61C), but I could not get it stable at 2500mhz

Im going to check to see if there is a nice bios update for my board that may let me get it up to 2500.

Unlucky? Hardly. You use a cheap/free old heatsink, get good, average result from moderate voltage. You are lucky, you got the best upgrade you could for the price paid. Another $30 for a good cooler would get that 61C temp would be lower, but the bang for the buck would go down even though the clockspeed was higher.

 

[Supa]

Ditto. A good thermalright heatsink, a big quiet fan and ArticSilver 5 will help your cpu realize it's potential.

If you can get 2.4 @ 1.65V then that is a good chip. You just have sucky-ass cooling. Do as the man says.

Dude, you've been robbed! Tell ye what, I'll give you $50 for that chip.

Some people can never be happy! :brokenheart:

Just got my 2600+, i'll let you guys know how much she oc's

I received the same chip from LA. hopefully I can get up to 2.4. summer is coming so overclocking is not my priority. but it will be nice to have something that can get up to speed. with my new PC3500 I was able to get my 1600+ to 145FSB. could never get it up with the cheap PC2100.

 

[AmdEmAll]

Right now it's at 12.5x200 = 2500MHz (1.75V) Running P95 now.

Had it at 2400MHz (1.65V) P95 Had 1 error in 30mintues.

Looks good so far, if p95 doesn't error on this i'll try for 2600.

 

[woodsman]

I also got a 2400 AQYFA 0343 doing 2400 @ 1.69, 38 degrees C. , rock solid and 2 hours of prime 95. It will do 2500 @ 1.75, 46C but fails prime 95 in 10 minutes. This feels like 2500 is very possible with good cooling. Great chip and the motherboard is a Shuttle AN35 ultra 400. woodsman

 

[The Sauce]

I had to dial my 2400 back down to 2.4 just to get the system to cold-boot. Bloody A7N8X and its damn cold-boot issue. Totally idiotic engineering only allowing the chip to boot at it's default voltage. Asshats.

 

[Budarow]

I need a quiet fan (60mmx60mmx25mm)...any ideas? I suppose the fan can be more than 25mm thick? I already have a nice copper heat sink, but the fan sounds like a whirlwind! I'd like to spend $10 or less (with shipping) if possible.

Thanks,

Bud

 

[AmdEmAll]

2500MHz seems stable at 1.8V gonna run P95 all night.

 

[Tsunami982]

mine wont go above 2.53 prime 24 hour stable at 1.70v. but 2.53 for less than 100 bucks is SMOKING!

 

[AmdEmAll]

I need a new PSU my 12v drops below 11.50 during prime 95. Bah.

Unless you just don't have the space for it, i'd suggest you at least go with a 60mm to 80mm fan adapter and then a quieter, but more powerful 80mm fan

The BIG question might be, what's "a nice copper heatsink"? Generally speaking, there's no trick to heatsinks that'll do away with large surface area, and a 'sink using a mere 60mm fan probably has so little surface area, efficiency, that it's necessary to use that high-RPM, loud little 60mm fan. A lower RPM 60mm fan puts out a lot less air than a 80mm fan anyway, then coupled with the smaller 'sink it's not so great a cooling solution except for running at stock speed & voltage.

To more directly answer Budarow's Q, yes the fan can be thicker than 25mm IF it uses a standard mounting (screws) mechanism, but 60mm fans thicker than 25mm are few and far inbetween. It's not all that easy to even find a 80-92mm fan in excess of 25mm thickness unless it's an exceptionally high-airflow, quite loud model. Of course there's the good ole voltage-reduction hack, but it makes less sense to plan doing that to a fan you haven't bought yet, compared to reusing a fan you already had.

Fan adapters can reduce noise but somewhat impede airflow. Probably be a lot better to just buy a cooler that takes an 80mm fan if you want to fully exploit the o'c potential of these chips.

 

[IlllI]

i got an IQXFA 0348 XPMW but i am not sure how good it is, since i havent tried it out yet. anyone know which steppings might be better than others and which ones don't do so well?
