1900 any good?

[fazz33]

is the 1900 Thoroughbread any good for overclocking? like the 1700?

[dalilman52]

it should oc pretty well as long as it has a good stepping

[fazz33]

i see thx!

[PiMpShiN]

try cpu database (http://www.cpudatabase.com/) i didnt see it get too high though.

[c627627]

1900+ Thoroughbred B's are rare.

A's overclock about 300 MHz less than B's. Stepping code should end with B xxxxB not xxxxA.

Make sure it's not a DMT3C Palomino.

[fazz33]

ill check when it get to me! i hope its an A, i sit should arrive in 1-1.5 weeks

[JDXNC]

You want a B... not an A.

[fazz33]

oh, whats the main diff betweem anyways?

[fusionpit]

Bs will OC higher, from what I gather.

[fazz33]

also Palomino what is wrong with it, is it overclock unfriendly or overall just bad?

[dalilman52]

palomino is basically just old technology, they OC horribly, even worse than t-bred a cores, even if u did unlock one, u wouldnt even get CLOSE to 200 fsb or even past 2.1`2.2 ghz

and basically, it just sucks

[fazz33]

oh....i see good thing i am getting a tbred, but i dunno if it is an A or B... :(

[dalilman52]

there are core steppings like jiuhB and niuhB, the b at the end denoted a B stepping, if u get one with a at the end, (im makng this up) like jixiA then its an A stepping

[fazz33]

i would check..but i gotta wait for the guy i bought it from to send it too me...WHEN WILL THE WAITING END!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! lol, im very eagar to get it! if i get a b it i think ill be very happy but...first i gotta get the rest of my parts lol

[fazz33]

if anyone wants to try to guess what stepping it is try and find out looking at the pic, thou i think its way to small to tell if its an A or a B, or maybe even the Palominohttp://i6.ebayimg.com/01/i/01/1a/b5/cc_1.JPG

[dalilman52]

i have no idea, although im pretty sure its a t-bred because palominos have the steppings on the actual die itself, while that chip has the black sticker (where all t-breds have the stepping)

to tell u the truth, im stumped, if i got a closer look, i would be able to say, but from that birds-eye view, nothing can be sed so far, but im leaning more towards the t-bred side...

and btw, the core looks a bit chipped, maybe u can get a few dollars knocked off because of that? just a thought :D

[fazz33]

:P good idea i should have thought of that but too late, money go bye bye 8 hours ago lol, if it doesnt work...im gonna ..."privately talk" the one who sold iit to me!

[2coop]

The pic shows a square core, Palimino cpu. t-breds are rectangle.

[StinkNBreff]

Thats T-bred cpu , BUT I am 99.9 % sure you will get a "a" core .. Problably aiuga .. I have never ever seen or heard of t-bred b 1900 ..

if you are able to get to 2.2Ghz, you are doing pretty well.
