just bad or awful?

stopdrpnro · Apr 20, 2003

just ordered a tred 1700+ from newegg and got a unlucky tbred a but i'm staying optiomistic and wondering what can i expect outta this puppy the chip reads

axda1700+dlt3c xxxxxxx(bunch of not so random#'s)
airga0227mpmw

is this just bad, or is it awful?

Depends on your definition of "bad" and "awful." Actually, never mind; I'd go with awful. You won't be getting that chip much further than 1.9.

OEM or Retail?

hey,

is that a OEM or Retail 1700+?

Well, you really can't tell till you put it in your box.

it's an oem , got it to 1.8 , @1.75 burning in now @ 800mhz 1.75v

I'd return it to newegg and eat the 15% restocking fee. I think it's worth the additional 300-500mhz o/c you can get from a tbred b.
Sorry to hear about your bad luck.
