Old XP1800+...what potential does it have?

omaticrail · Oct 3, 2003

I know this information is available here, but search results are bloated with all the chatter about the new 1800 chips. I have an old xp1800+, and I was wondering what it's O/C potential is.

Wish I had more info on the chip. Can't look cuz I got no thermal paste handy.

Well you are gonna need to find out the stepping and the core type before anyone can help you a huge amount. These you should be able to find on the black label underneath the core This will tell you the stepping (5 letters start with an A or J) There is a good sticky around I believe about xp steppings. But in general If its a palamino core its not a great overclocker. feel free to correct me anyone

if the chip is old its most likely a palmino.. so you wont get too much OC out of it =|

Throw me a frickin bone here! I'm the boss... need the info....

Ok now that my silliness is out of the way there is just no way of telling how good an oc you will have without at least knowing if you have a palamino, tbreda or tbred B. The stepping code and default voltage would help even better

thats very true.. hehe run cpuz www.cpuid.com and that should at least tell you if its a palmino or tbred.. by looking at teh various info =d

if it's not on a little black lable, it's laser printed on the core itself

If you're not sure what you got, you can always use the GCPUID proggy to check for the info on ur CPU
