$50 1700+ T-Breds @Newegg

[Killrose]

Newegg dropped the price of the 1700+ T-Breds from $60 to $50.

 

[corinthos]

They were $46.99 at one point, but still this is a good deal...

Mine does 1.83ghz w/ default voltage @ 166/166 on a K7S5A PRO... the memory is PC2100 DDR Kingston Value RAM. It will reach 166 ok but not with most aggressive settings... could be the mobo, I'm not sure...

Anyway, if I could change multiplier settings with this mobo I'm sure I could reach close to 2ghz... I'm using a GC68 with stock fan by the way... temp hovers around 35-39.

 

[yodayoda]

my 1700+ does 1.83GHz with 10.5 x 166 too. using an nForce2 board with PC2100 crucial RAM.

 

[m1ke101]

yup got mine when it was 46.99......mine does 12.5x166=2075 rock stable with my old generic samsung, getting new mem to push it farther

your probably better off spending 15 dollars more and getting the retail box with the three year warranty, my 2 cents

You don't know what stepping you'll get with the Retail box. Not many people have bought it.

 

[LED]

Cost a little more but some sold by stepping HERE

FYI-- I bought a retail 1.7 last week when the retail was only $8 more than OEM and I got an 0302 just like everyone else has been getting.

With the default voltage and stock fan it easily runs over 2 GHz.

So it looks like the retail CPUS are probably the same stepping as the OEM.

 

[stingygrrl]

can i run this on a KK266 mobo? (have athlon thunderbird on there now)

 

[Strych9]

Now $52.

 

[Celeryman]

Well I have a KK266 also and from the research I have done, putting an athlon xp in this board would be flaky at best. Anybody else have a different experience?

 

[alchemize]

I ordered the OEM at $46 and got an A an old one at that...it is a crapshoot unless they specifically advertise the stepping/version. Still is OC'ed by almost 300 Mhz with junk ram that wont go past 142 Mhz

 

[Rushour]

Old & New Version are the same price now!!!! $52.00. It look like price ill keep on going up again...

 

[KilroySmith]

I've run several different Palomino-core XP's on my KK266plus mobo, no problems at all.

However, it appears that the Thoroughbred core XP's do NOT work on the kk266 series mobos. I haven't tried one, but I've seen several posts from those who have, and those who've gone over the edge trying to get a BIOS upgrade out of IWill that will support the T'Bred with no luck.

Back down to $50 for the old CPU. T-Bred is still $52. Retail up to $68!

Newegg is really goofy with the way they update their prices.

On Thurs 2/21 around 1 pm pacific time I ordered an OEM 1700+ Thoroughbred from NewEgg for $52. I went and picked it up at the FedEx office on Fri 2/22 because it was at the station but not scheduled to be delivered until Monday (Saturday delivery not paid for). For those who are thinking of ordering, here's what I received:
Thoroughbred A
AXDA1700DLT3C
RIUGA 0249UPMW (made 49th week of 2002)

From what I've read, it's not the greatest for overclocking. Stock 1700+ speed is 11.0 x 133.33. The best it would run at stock voltage (1.50v) was 12.0 x 133.33 (1900+ speeds). Bumping up the voltage to 1.575 made it stable at 2000+ speeds (12.5 x 133.33). I'm still working with it.

isn't default volt for T-bred B, 1.65v ? or at least 1.6v for slower and or T-bred A ?

might want to up the voltage a bit on that chip if you want to overclock. My tbredb stock voltage is 1.6v, and I have it at 1.75v right now to overclock it to 2075mhz.

1.6v for Bs and 1.5v for As

My 1700+ tbred-b JIUHB 0302 is at 11X195 = 2145MHz. But now I'm using a 2600+ I won from AMD, so far running 12X192. I'm going to try more later.

 

[StayPuff]

Bump -- It's $52 now and I think it was $55 yesterday.

Have people still been ordering these, and if so, are you getting the oh-so-coveted "B" version?

Link to AMD Athlon XP 1700+ Thoroughbred on NewEgg.com

Thanks,

puff

 

[Mallow]

Wonder if these are B chips like last time :/

That's what I'd like to know

 

[alchemize]

They weren't ALL B chips last time, as I can sadly attest to

 

[Doggiedog]

I just got mine last week.

Its a Tbreb B 0307. I OCed it to 2.0Ghz (max on my mobo) and it ran but the Internet stopped working. I think my memory couldn't handle the speeds since it is very very old PC2100. I throttled it back down to 1.9Ghz and it's working perfectly. Voltage was 1.6 and CPU temps range from 38-42c.
