Code on Tbird900, "AGGA" Will it OC?

[Bartman]

I just got my KT7A-Raid and OEM TB900 in the mail today... I cannot use them, as I ordered the cooler and grease from another place and it hasnt arrived yet (hope it shows up tomorrow so I can play over the weekend!)

Anyways, I don't know much about AMD codes, so here is what is on the chip:

A0900AMT3B
AGGA0050TPJW
94221350191
MALAYSIA

The Core is blue in color.

I am a little worried that it wont OC well, as this is a OEM chip, but can anyone tell me if this "should" be an ok chip?

I will of course post my results to the message board once I try it out...

It'll OC, probably nothing amazing but you can definately get more speed

A0900AMT3B
AGGA0050TPJW

the important stuff is really the bottom line, 0050 represents week 50 of 2000 that would be mid december obviously, thats about 3 months ago which is a while, but yields from that time should have been decent for a 900 mhz chip...there are no garuntees though, check out the CPU database on the main page here and look for other week 50 of 2000 chips with AGGA revisions and see how they did, that should give you a general idea.

Already did that... nothing there :-(

I wouldn't be patient enough to wait if your grease doesn't come by the weekend. Just head over to Radio Shack and pick up a tube of the white goop for about a buck and a half. Silver grease does help but I think to much of a fuss is made over it. If you do the important stuff like lapping your heatsink properly you will not need so much grease to fill the voids. Right now I am testing a new AXIA at 1440 1.8v using the cheap white stuff (I dont waste the silver for testing purposes) and under full load for several hours the highest temp I have seen is 98F. This is with a FOP38

I don't have a HS or a fan yet either... they are in the mail with the grease :-)

Those ONLY "AGGA" I found in the data base was running 1050Mhz @ 140fsb on a KT7A-Raid (like me) with a FOP38 w/ 1.77v.

He states "I havnt tried for more".

I will be using a lapped FOP32-1 w/Arctic Thermal II, not a FOP38 like him, but I think I'll still have enough cooling to reach my goal of 1050Mhz. I would rather run 7X150fsb=1050, but the next best thing would be 7.5X140fsb=1050.

I feel comfortable running it up to 1.85v, and this guy only needed 1.77v to get stable @ 1050. Hopefully my chip will run well.. I hope I hope! <G>

Ive got a Tbird 900 running at 1050.
I was able to get it to 1100, im running open case right now with no fans, and the temp was to high for my taste.
I would think you could at least hit 1050.

I have 3 900 Tbirds (soon to be 2 once I sell one on Ebay). 2 of them will hit 1050 and that's about it. 1 of them will hit 1120.

I only have the code of one available right now:

ADFA is 1050 MHz. Since AGGA is (slightly) further along in the alphabet you'll probably hit 1050. I need to do some heatsink juggling later, so I will check my other processor codes then.

Thanks! That sounds great... (you posting the codes that it)...

I will only be running on a GF2MX, so there will be no point in pushing it past 1050Mhz, or even running it at that, IF it cant do it comfortably.

I am however, planing on getting a Gf2GTS or gf2 Ultra, or maybe a 64Mb Raedon next fall. Point -> I will be upgrading my vid card before the CPU, so maybe in the future I will want to run 1100mhz <g>

Thanks for the replys,

I have a 900 T-Bird AGGA from week 52 and I am at 1080. I have the ABIT KT7 so I can't get my fsb up very high although I haven't tried real hard yet.

[Nagorak]

I've only had a chance to check the codes on one of m other Tbirds so far, but I've got some good news for you! The code written on the top of my Tbird at 1120 reads none other than: AGGA!

Looks like you should be able to hit 1.1 GHz pretty well.

I have Tbird 900 "AGGA" on an ABIT KT7A and Alpha 6035 HS. I do not unlock the CPU and the best I can do is 9*112 = 1008 MHz.

That is GREAT news! Time will tell...
