Duron numbers any good?

edwardaune · Oct 22, 2004

Those of you that know Durons, could you let me know if this chip is decent. Its a 1.6GHZ:

DHD1600DLV1C Z366295200061 MIXIB 034STPMW

Thanks

0343 means you're likely locked with a 12 multiplier. This is means you may not go into the 190s FSB. This is all right for average generic PC2700 RAM sticks though.

As usual, cooling/motherboard chipset/power supply brand will influence the overclock...

Thanks, I just ordered one to put in a little Linux print server, but I also wanted to get a little more out of it(habit). Yes I know its not smart to oc a server, but its a print server and its a learning experience with Linux. Thanks c.

I got that exact stepping (not sure about the week). THe multi is locked.

It runs 166x12 at stock voltage(1.5v) right out of the box. I've been using it in my second linux box. Its damn cool as well.

edwardaune · Oct 22, 2004

Thanks Mame, what version of Linux and what are you using it for?

MameXP · Oct 22, 2004

Gentoo 2.4 kernel, its my file server. It's been running like this for almost a yr and i dont bother to update.

is that a spitfire core perchance?

The Coolest · Oct 22, 2004

Man, you're thinking 2 generations behind. A spitfire core was based off a Thunderbird, the original socketA Athlons, then came the Morgan duron, based off a Palomino, and this one is an Applebred duron, based off the Tbred core.

edwardaune · Oct 23, 2004

Yep, Applebred.

Have you enabled the rest of the L2 cache? That will boost performance too. You may need a tiny bit more voltage if you enable the rest of the cache.

The Coolest · Oct 23, 2004

You can't reenable the cache on superlocked chips, thus the name, superlocked.

edwardaune · Oct 24, 2004

And besides that I havent gotten the chip yet.

Biggles 266 · Oct 24, 2004

With a board with decent voltage options you stand a decent chance of getting to 2.4 GHz by changing the FSB to 200 MHz. Reason for that is, the Duron you have is a low voltage chip, just like the legendary DLT3C 1700/1800XPs. Lots of head room.

Hey, if I have a non-superlocked duron, and I enable the cache, what difference will it make?

Um...You'll have all available cache. More cache, better performance.

Basically it'll become an AthlonXP Tbred(A/B) with 256KB L2 cache.

Quailane · Oct 25, 2004

It is a b core. It does 2.6Ghz. Will my overclock go down though? I am running it on air, and it is at 45C. (It is cool in this room)

ogboot · Oct 25, 2004

lol ya been a while since i rocked a duron

ryanmartini · Oct 26, 2004

wow, i didnt know all this about durons! my little sister needs a new pc, this sounds like a good candidate. is there any threads or sites offhand that shows how to enable the cache, and which models allow it?

much appretiated,
