1800+ Dlt3c

[TinyTim]

I'm pretty sure this has been asked before...

AXDA 1800 DLT3C
JIUHB 0304 MPMW

I can get one of these for $61USD. Is this a good price and what is the potential of this chip? Any stories, good or bad?

Notmany reports on them. I'd bet it'll be around the 1700+ dlt3c's ie 2400-2600mhz with good cooling/voltage.

I've seen a couple of these. They seem to do quite well, although its unclear if they do as well as their 1700+ DLT3C counterparts. That isn't to say they don't, but not too much is known about them. They do overclock well, though. And for $61, I'm sure you wouldn't be disappointed. I'm guessing around 2.3 on air, maybe 2.4.

Well, I got the chip and put it in my A7V333. Got it up to 167FSB on the base 1.5V with idle temps below 40C and load temps below 45C. Beyond that, it gets very unstable (not booting into windows, windows errors, sudden reboots, etc). I've tried turning the vcore up to 1.6V even but that doesn't make it anymore stable. What else can I do at this point? Thanx for all your help/input people! :)

*edit: i meant to say vcore at 1.6, not FSB

i got one similar but 0307. will do 2.4ghz never tried any higher i'm too much of a coward, did not want to blow it.

Are you talking about memory or core voltage at 1.6...1.6 would be core voltage...and memory voltage should be at 2.7v's...

[modenaf1]

yes, if the mem was at 1.6 it just wouldnt work at all.

[TinyTim]

I'm assuming it's because my mobo is A7V333, which is why I can't get past 167 stable.

[modenaf1]

well,fsb dosent really all have to do with the mobo that much. ive seen people with the same chipset get really high fsb speeds.

Just an update...

I upgraded to the 1018 beta 1 BIOS for the A7V333 and loosened the memory timings from 5-2-2-2 to 6-3-3-2.5 and now I'm up to 11x 192FSB at 1.575V with idle temps around 40C and load temps below 50C. Either the new BIOS is rock stable or it was my memory timings holding me back.

Trying to get to 200FSB or 2.2GHz
