I just built a system for a friend. Ordered a 1600+ and AK31 from newegg, and guess what stepping I got? You got it, AGOIA!!!
After installing the OS, I decided I should see what this baby could do. I didn't unlock the chip, just upped the FSB, but I found this thing would hit 10.5X160 = 1680 at default Voltage! I love this stepping.
It didn't boot at 166 FSB, and I didn't really have time to push it, or test it at full load, but at 1680 it was running a cool 33C after a couple of benchmarks (CAK38 heatsink). I think I'm gonna buy one of those 1600+ for myself soon!
On a side note, the Coolermaster HHC-001 (heatpipe) does not fit on the Shuttle AK31 mobo. the heatpipes hit the northbridge fan and it won't seat properly.
Just thought this was a sweet deal for a $103 chip.
