My 1800 XP Tbred Updated :)

[DanStp]

Is running at stock mulitplier 11.5 at 166 FSB almost 1917 mhz!!!!! Even faster now upped multiplier to 12.0. Now just a touch under 2000 mhz Now I need to run Pime95 at this speed. Decided to do some quick benches...........

SCISOFT SANDRA = memory cpu media
2000mhz 166fsb = 2576/2441 7511/3007 11156/11682

Drat spoke too soon, not stable at 2000, backed it down. I will have to play with a 200mhz FSB later when I have time.

Running fairly cool doing SETI, and passed PRIME95 Its under an ALPHA heatsink mounted on an ASUS Nforce2 MB. Corsair 3500 ram. I am using Enermax adjustable fans, this is even quieter than my old system

I am going to gradually take this 80 buck wonder up to 200 FSB and see how much closer I can get it to 2000 almost there now BTW its a retail chip from Newegg.

Thanks for all the good info in the forum guys. I don't get to upgrade all the time like some of you do This was a nice jump from my SOYO VIA XP 1700. One thing I have noticed is that the southbridge chip seems hot no matter if I am overclocking or not? Has anyone else noticed that too? I posted this earlier but no one replied

BTW my voltages are stock on the RAM & AGP, 1.75 the max on the processor's Vcore, I will be working as seeing if I can lowwer the Vcore as time goes by.

 

[Budmantom]

That's pretty impressive.

 

[bgeh]

that's impressive
wonder how the low speed t-bred b's will overclock???

 

[chocoruacal]

You know, it might be helpful when people post stuff like this, to also post their CPU/RAM/voltage settings. Much more useful than just saying, "My 1800 runs at xxxghz."

southbridge or northbridge?
southbridge doesnt really run all that hot ive noticed (it doesnt even have a heatsink for the most part) , maybe you are talking about the northbridge?

perhaps taking off the heatsink and slapping some arctic silver in there will help out
what is the temperature at?

 

[dannybin1742]

where did you buy it, and what is the core stepping?

 

[DanStp]

Well the Nforce 2 uses different terms for them but I am talking about the Southbridge. The large passive HS on the Northbridge was removed and a thin coating of AS3 was applied. I do that to every motherboard I touch. The Satan chp gets warm too, and I don't even have Serial ATA enabled.

I bought the processor at Newegg, it's a 1800xp Tbred A, but I accidentally threw away the paper I wrote the core stepping numbers on That ALPA heatsink is a pain to take off too.

i was wondering, is it possible to take off an alpha wihtout removing the mobo like you have to do for swiftech mcx462? (unless you superglue or something the rear nuts onto the mobo for mcx462)

 

[dannybin1742]

anyone have any low clock speed t-bred Bs?

i'm surious as to how well those OC, i want to replace my AGOIA and go higher

 

[bgeh]

none here yet, but they're expected to be in retail and distribution centres by february-march(or maybe even mid-january)

 

[KingofFah]

Mid January would be awesome. I am buying an 1800 B once I see one.

 

[mechBgon]

DanStp, what kind of SETI times are you getting for typical .417's or thereabouts? Is that with 100% stock cooling, or stock + Arctic Silver 3, or what?

 

[DanStp]

I have done about 16 WU's averaging 2:45. This PC gets used by the whole family, so it's hard to know how much time SETI has to itself. I am using an ALPHA cooler with AS3.

 

[ncp1981]

wow

 

[pillage2001]

I don't think I was the stepping in this therad, any idea which is it??

 

[ChampionAtTufshop]

i know it would be a PITA, but stepping info may help others

ot: are there many steppings of the lower tbred a's??

AIRGA RIRGA AIUCB AIUHB.......that's the four I know. There're at least two more.

wow, they are growing since i last checked

DanStp: plz check the stepping for the overclocking crowd?

is it not possible to take off the heatsink front only, without removig the mobo and "mounting gear" for the heatsink?
i know its not possible for the swiftech mcx462, but i havnt worked with alpha yet so im not sure

 

[pillage2001]

AIUGB.

There's one more. Either that, or I've named all. I'm suck a geek.

lol
its all good
no shame in geekness

 

[fenger]

I just got my 1800+ from newegg two days ago, it's a AIUGA.

I'm building a new system, anyone had any expriences w/ this stepping at all? I'm waiting on my case and mobo (should be here in next few days).

 

[Goose77]

doesnt Newegg have the new Tbred b's already?? aren't these the new B's AXDA1700DLT3C - AXDA1800DLT3C. i saw somewhere where the DM was A's and the DL were B's. Is this right or is someone blowing smoke up my a$$

 

[bgeh]

no, a t-bred b's code is AXDA1800DUT3C
a t-bred a is AXDA1800DLT3C

 

[fenger]

FYI, I've got an AXDA1800DLT3C.

DanStp, was your CPU Retail or OEM?
