AHH IM SO HAPPY. My 2100+ TBRED B came back to life, it works just as good as it did when it stopped working. Praise the lord!!!!!:p :p :p :p

EDIT : BTW, I still am gonna get a 1700+ from googlegear.com (they have the same chips that excalibur has, but for 19 dollars cheaper. ALso google has free 2nd day shipping.

Did they say specifically on their website that it's the 1.5 low voltage version or did they put out a part number?? Salesperson might promise you anything over the phone you know.

Just be careful :D

AXDA1700DLT3C proof of pudding,just hope its not tapioca :D
killer find dude! I OWE YA ONE!

Googlegear does not guarantee steppings. That chip could also be a T'bred A core - those used the same voltage, DLT3C code.

Ummm, guys... that doesn't say 'B' core anywhere. I would wager that those are Tbred-As, since all Tbred-A 1700+s are DLT3C.

LOL!

I wish Newegg would start guaranteeing B core 1700s.

OK bad news. The 2100+ only works in my a7v-333. It wont post in my A7N8X. Yes, I cleared the cmos. Yes the fan is in the rpm monitor. This is so weird. I can't understand why this is happening.

My 2000+ Palimino cpu works fine in both boards, but the tbred will only work in my a7v-333. Anyone have any ideas? Also my a7n8x with the 2000+ in it, posts temps that are way off. Could this have anything to do with it? Ill tell ya just how off. Like, Board Temp is 30C and CPU temp is 18C FROM THE BIOS. Do you think that my board might be messed up and in need for an rma?

it sounds like something ive had happen before.i did a pin mod on my 1700 and i just did the 5th L3 which now i know isnt the correct way.it sounds like mabey the bridge didnt burn completly or mabey it took something else with it.

ive read useing a weak 9v battery is the best or a 5v rail on the psu is good.and that a strong 9v will burn other things besides just the bridge.

if it was mine,and i have the defogger paint id pop all the L3 bridges and then close the ones i wanted with the paint.this is just me im not saying you should as it might just kill it or somthing.

but you need to verify whats burnt and whats not and make sure that is all fine.if it gives an odd multi reading it will not boot in some machines and work in others.and it also gives wierd temps and also wont oc well.
thats what my 1700 did with mismatched pin settings.the corrected settings fixed it all.

But the thing is man, this 2100+ was working great for a month or so then it just stopped working. I tried to unlock it when i first got it but was unsuccesful so I just took alchohol and erased it and popped it in my A7N8X and it worked fine. I am starting to think something is wrong with my board. My 2000+ which works in both systems, reports a 18C temp in my A7N8X with a V7+ and it reports a 40C in my A7V-333. My 2100+ reports a 38C in my A7V-333 and I cant see what my 2100+ says in my A7N8X because it wont work. This is really frusterating. I wish it would just work, computer ALWAYS have to break somehow. I have tried using V7+, SLK-800, GENERIC HEATSINK/FAN, and WATERCOOLING all on my 2100+ and no go with my A7N8X. But my 2000+ works with all of them in both boards!! ahh. anyone else got any solutions?
