Sempei said:Found this out the hard way. Just got my OEM Celeron 1.2 from Directron.com and it is a Malay chip. Major bummer. Iwas really looking forward to playin with a Philli chip but now I geuss I'll have to work a little harder with this one.

Sorry it didn't turn out to be a Flip chip.

Yea, I think I read a post sometime ago that most OEM chips are flip chip and maybe 20% are malay chips.
Sorry it didn't turn out to be a Flip chip.

What does flip-chip have to do with the Phillipine plant? The 1.2 is a flip-chip, or else it wouldn't be a 1.2; it would be a 533.
Or has someone changed terminology on me?
Flu!d said:My boxed Malay chip pulls 1.5 gig easy....Haven't attempted 1.6 gig yet as my PSU is 'having trouble'....But it pulls 1.5 gig so easily and is so stable that I think it will pull 1.6 gig easy!
BTW....I'm pulling 1.5 gig rock stable @ 1.6 volts and the +5 volt line on my mobo as reported by MBM is only at 3.14 volts! Like I said....My 250 watt A-Open PSU is having a bit of trouble!

Yeah dude if you get a new PSU I would just get a 350w or higher anymore.
I would also like to comment on your 5v rail????????
If it was at 3.14v you would not boot
Also one other thing I would not be so sure of is that your chip will do 1.6GHz. I have problems simply running my chip higher than 1.7v no matter what. If I run my chip at 1.8v and 1500MHz it will be unstable. If I run it at 1.525GHz and 1.7v it is stable.
I run it at 1.5GHz cause I am going to leave it for my brother and that should leave me enough of a buffer you know!
Too bad you can't hit 133+ FSB so you could tell us the real scoup on that mobo. I am starting to lose faith in it for the celery 100FSB. You need to give out some more info. It seems it may not run 133/66/33 fsb/agp/pci when at 133fsb from 100fsb. I don't like that!
Flu!d said:Ol'man....You have to get over 1/4 pci dividers....
With the Gigabyte board 1/4 pci dividers don't mean much as you just select the PLL pci / agp clock speed and the bios will select the best divider to keep the bus speeds as close to spec as possible....I would say the Gigabyte XET will hit 133 mhz FSB with a Tualatin Celery 'easier' than any other Tualatin board out there as you can run the PCI/AGP busses the slightest bit below spec (2-3 mhz) and gain a tiny bit more stability when your chip is really on the edge....
My Tualatin Celery is running on this board no probs and that's with a 3.14 volt (yes....3.14 volts as reported by the bios) +5 volt line....It boots every time....It just dosen't like restarting, due to the low voltage on the +5 volt line....And it's rock stable
The PSU problem is something I will rectify now that I am on holodays from work....
I'm sure this chip will hit 1.6 gig easily....My vcore is still nice and low and my temps have barely risen from standard and that's with the standard Tualatin cooler (and anyone that's been to Australia will tell you it's hot here). And the fact that it's rock stable @ 1.5 gig with a 5 volt line running at 3.14 volts tells you that this is one stable mobo....
In closing, the Tualatin Celery and the GA-60XET is a top combo....'Especially' when you consider full voltage adjustment from the bios (wire wrapping is a little to 'rough' and impratical for my liking and immediatly knocks a board off my list as an overclockers board)
And as JetMech said....There is very little evidence to prove that the Phillipenes chips overclock any better than the Malaysian chips, especially when you consider that the Malaysian chips have always been the 'overclockers chip of choice' in the past....

DON'T GET A NEW PSU!!
THE READING OF 3.14V ON THE 5V RAIL IS WRONG!!
I switched from my MSI 815EPT Pro board to the Gigabyte and got the same reading!! It seems that they made a mistake when programming the sensors for the bios.
I'm sure that it definetly is 5V on the 5V rail, becuase it was on the MSI board and if I chnage the sensor in MBM 5.1, I get a reading of 5.15V, which sounds good to me.
So don't worry, be happy with your board and Tualatin Celeron!!
