Come on guys, more testimonies on your OC experiences w/the newegg tbreds!

The XP1700+ is now $46.99! I wonder what are the chances of getting a 'B'. I think I'm going to buy it..

 

[v8vega350]

if it isnt a tbred b i got my a up to 2000 mhz on water and can goto 2050 with it

 

[v8vega350]

not much being said on how well those B's overclock

Bah. Be wary of buying any more of these' 1700+'s from NewEgg. I placed my order right after they dropped the price to $46.99, and I just got mine today. It's an AIUGA!!!

That sucks...

My pair of JIUCB Week 51 1700+ chips are running at 1587 (138x11.5) at default voltage right now in my dual box. Definitely have the potential for going higher... but the load temps are ~48C (on-die) right now. I think I need a pair of SLK800's before I go much (if any) further.

I itchin to replace my xp 1900, but I've heard there are some problems with the tbreds and soyo dragon boards (i'm asking this here because the soyo board is kind of slow

 

[v8vega350]

i have a tbred A 1700+ on a soyo and it is running stable @ 2000 mhz 24/7 with water cooling

I got mine for my duallie. One was a tbred A that wouldn't hit 1700mhz. The other was a tbred B.

My old tbred A hit 1.86ghz. The B should hit that easily. Currently, my old A and my new B are in there running at 1.73ghz. Obviously, I haven't tweaked it yet.

Now I just have to figure out what to do with the new, crappy tbred A.

[jlin453]

Ordered Saturday night at $46.99. Received today, JIUHB 0302
For now, at 11X166

I already know I'm going to love this

My 1700+ tops out at 12x188 2252 at 2.05v. I can get it up to 2292 at 2.22v but it is very hot and not stable with a 100% load. Oh well, 2.25 GHz for $50 is a pretty good deal.

sell it on ebay

Nah, I can't do that. I've blown bridges already to give it a default multiplier of 13X. Gotta sell it to someone who understands unlocking and adjusting multipliers. I guess it's off to the classifieds.

Hey, watch those voltages. The rule of thumb is 15% over default is safe. That's 37% over default!!!!! .13 micron northwoods are dying at 17% over default. (Look up threads on sudden northwood death syndrome, or S.N.D.S.)

It just seems that the last year or so has introduced a lot of easy overclocks. This has allowed a lot more people to get into it without understanding the risks, and has even tempted experienced overclockers to throw caution into the wind.
