XP1700 RIRDA Tbred-A results

from newegg.com

I havn't heard of anyone else having this stepping, or anyone even hearing of it. So here are my results

183 X 10 = 1.83ghz @ 1.75v STABLE (24hr of prime95)
Case: 32C
CPU: 39C (8K3AE socket diode) (63C core diode [inaccurate?])
Cooler: Vantec Aeroflow (highly recommended)

This chip will not hit 1.9ghz stable even w/ 1.95v, pc2700@166mhz, agp/pci in spec. The brick wall starts right around 1.84-1.86ghz.

From what i hear, the core diode reading on the 8k3a series reports 20C higher than normal. Kinda questioning these temp readings. But the Vantech Aeroflow does kick ***!

Not too shabby for a 57 dollar cpu

I got the exact same cpu with very similar results. The only problem I have is that I can't boot into Xp with the voltage high enough to maintain those speeds, I can only get into 98. But it IS stable as hell in 98.

Not a bad bang for your buck at all

This stepping hasn't had the greatest track record, there have been twice as many good overclocks (2,000mhz+) from the AIUGA cores. RIRDA were early tbred cores, the AIUGA were several revisions later and more refined, hence their better overclocking ability.

I picked one up at a compter fair yesterday, should have waited for a better stepping but just started reading about these a day ago and did'nt know wich one was better.

Anyways I am running at 1825mhz or 2200+ (12.5x146) @ 1.82 volts. My temps are low for as much voltage I am running, I am hitting 34c idle and 38c after running prime 95 for 24 hours. Best 2200xp I never bought.

I think my old Amd 761 mobo is limiting me from going higher though. The bios does not recognize anything higher than a 2200+ wich I found to be true when I booted at 1900mhz and it posted as an 1900mhz, Thought is was a little sketcky so I backed off and started testing. Decent overclocker though.

Good return on the money you put out.
Im waiting for the tbreb RevBs since they'll suposedly o/c a lot better.

I won't go for anything that won't hit over 2Ghz.

I have an RIRGA tbred 1700+.

I can hit 1.74ghz @ 1.675v.

Today ive had it running @ 1.8ghz (180x10) @ 1.75v. @ 1.83ghz (166x11) it will load mostly through windows and freeze. Soon i am going to mod my motherboard to goto 2.0v

With my Volcano V6CU+ heatsink, and a couple fnas (hehe 4 80mm's and 2 60mm's @ 21v hehe) i idle @ 39C and load @ 43C.

And to add to all that im running 2 hard drives and 2 cdroms with a 250w psu haha. Im getting a 400w antec soon with a SLK-800.

Does someone have a picture of the CPU that they can show us? Its kinda nice I guess to see such a variety of steppings out there now. At least its showing that AMD is now actually doing sometin LOL unlike before when it took forever to get the t-breds

Anyhow, from what I hear, the AIUGB CPUs are great! overclockers. Even the best from AMD soo far?


OC-Master

I've got an AIUGA 1700+ that will do 1870 @ 1.75 (Running it at 1860 cause my ram sticks wont do 187 stable together (one does 195 by itself the other does 186-187.)

I think I could get 2ghz with a volt mod... but I'm doubtful that my ram will hold up much more (@ default voltage now, but I havent seen much gains with voltage boosts on other ram) and I wont raise core volts for a multi boost.

Here is the pic of mine

i just got in a AIUGA 1700+ in from newegg in a retail box

using
a7v266
thermaltake volcano6cu+
all temps are under full load, and before somebody comments about melting the cpu, this board gives strange readings, using the same processor and heatsink in a gigabyte board gives a -15C difference, also the board is known to overvolt so the voltages listed my be low

1st off, its multiplier is 12 by default, and its detected as a 1900+, which i definately won't complain about

i've only had it in a couple days, so far the highest i've gotten it is [email protected] vcore(12.5x155) 60C. it loaded into xp, ran prime95 for an hour or so, then gave me a memory error. I'm still running a kt266 board and that is about where the chipset craps out, i've had memory problems at that fsb speed before.

highest rock solid point so far was 1875(12.5x150)

right now i have it at [email protected] 55C b/c i swapped the retail heatsinks fan for my 7200 and i'm really enjoying the quiet

note that all of this was done in hot louisiana weather (it was hot monday anyway) using not the best heatsink



btw, 1st post

doh, i knew i'd forget something...

is there a marginally painless way to unlock higher multipliers on the lower tbreds?
