ax2000 DMT3C-AGOIA 021SPBW-94476030172 any good?

[Reficul]

I can buy a xp 2000+ with this on it:
ax2000 DMT3C-AGOIA 021SPBW-94476030172

I see that it is a agoia core. So a good overclocker.
Do you think it's a good one for overclocking?
And what do you think i can get with proper watercooling?

The chip u just discribed is XP2000+ AGOIA "9", I can't make up the week because you missed a number ;) (after "AGOIA")...
The numbers don't overclock as well as letters, specially Ys, Zs and Ks. I would believe that with enough vcore (2+v) you could break into the 1850+MHz, this is only a guess as I don't really see much of these lately. just do a Search for *AGOIA 9*.

But you mean that this one isn't such a good overclocker. I do want to reach the 2 ghz barriere.

[The Coolest]

If you want 2GHz, your best bet will be Tbred XP1800+ from newegg with the AIUGA stepping, they easily reach 2GHz without crazy volts. I don't think that the chip u mentioned will do anything close to 2 GHz, sorry

Thanx for the info.
I will get a XP 1800+ when i have a watercooling.
But do you know if a tbred 1800+ will work on a MSI k7t turbo LE rev. 3.0?

[The Coolest]

I think that the KT266A and earlier should have no problems with any Tbred which is 2000+ or slower, but I don't think they will work w/ anything higher than that. So I think that you're safe

hey i have an 2000+ with the same markings and i have run it at 1.87Ghz fine just didnt like the heat so i dropped it back

[Reficul]

But i know that a palomio core till xp 2000+ can run on this board.
But i don't know if this is also true for a Tbred core. I do hope so.

You should look in the CPU database for comparisons with CPU's like yours. My AGOIA Xp 2000+ will do 1.8Ghz easy, but my ram is holding me back. These CPU's are not to bad IMO!

[Bon3thugz43v3r]

My 2000+ does 1950 MHZ on air 1.85 volts. Its an AGOIA Y. My ram is only pc2100, I could get atleast 2000 MHZ with pc2700 ram. I dont run it at 1950 though because my ram starts to get a little shakey. It doesnt like to be put at 166 bus when its supose to only go to 149. :clap: :clap: :santa: will bring me some new ram, a digital camera, and a lcd screen hopefully:rolleyes: Thats from both sets of parents btw.

1024 mb is not nothing. But you dont know if my board supports the Tbred proc.?

[The Coolest]

Although I aready said that the board will propably support tbreds upto 2000+ to be 100% sure you should just email MSI*¹ and ask them.

*EDIT:* ¹: Made a mostake, wrote Anit instead of MSI

[muddocktor]

I was looking through MSI's bios updates for your board and it looks like the only version of the K7T series that supports higher than an XP1700+ officially is the K7T Turbo2, which has a new bios that supports up to a 2600+ proc. Your board might be able to run a Tbred or even a Pally higher than XP1700+ but MSI doesn't officially back it. I know that the old BH6 board I used to have didn't officially support coppermine P3 procs but it would run a P3 1000E proc with no problems. All I can say is take a chance and if it doesn't work, it gives you the opportunity to get another motherboard that does support the Tbred.

[Reficul]

But is there a difference between a Tbred and a palomino core?
Because the board does support (unofficial) palomino cores.
So what is the difference? Voltage?

[The Coolest]

There are physical difference to the chips, not only the die size. the Pali's used 3 sets of bridges, the L3/L4/L6, while the tbred only uses the L3 to set the default multi. As I said (edited my post) email MSI and ask them if you can put a tbred 1800+ in that mobo and will it work, that will be you best bet at getting 100% correct info about what CPUs the mobo will or will not support

[Reficul]

I will do that. But don't you know anybody with this board who has tried it?
