athlon model numbers

[martinrichards23]

hi,

i've read a few posts on this topic but still dont understand-

does amd produce 1600 to 2000 processors using tbred B core? if so how can you tell form model nubers? At dabs.com (a UK retailer) they have 1700's with two different numbers AXDA1700DLT3C and AX1700DMT3C (same is true for other processors they have) is one of these palomino and the other tbred A or B? any help grreatly appreciated

thanks

Look at page 3. It should answer your question. T-Bred's are 0.13um and Palominos are 0.18um.

You can also go over to overclockers.com and check out their database for good overclocking cores.

its a bit of a hodge-podge really as to what is what

the 0.18micron Palomino went from XP1500 to XP2100.
the o.13micron TbredA went from XP1700+ to XP2200+ but it was rare to find the XP2000+ or XP2100+ in the tbredA.

the tbredB mostly was XP2400+ and above, but recently they have came out a XP2000+ and even a few XP1700+'s... and they overclock VERY well indeed.

ok thanks for the info, that link was exactly what i was looking for, so essentially if i buy an AXDA rather than an AX i will have a .13 micron chip? if so that would be really good as the places i buy stuff have axda and ax

thanks again

the 'da' specifies that it is a tbred but doesn't tell you whether it is 'a' or 'b'.Go to this <A HREF="http://www.overclockers.com/tips00173/" target="_new">link</A> to see how to tell them apart.

no matter how hard you try, you can't polish a turd. :]

hi,

on the basis of the great info supplied (thanks) i have just ordered a tbred B 2100, when i get it i want to overclock it a lot, so my last question is does anyone recommend a particular way of unlocking the multiplyer?, preferably one that only uses readily available household stuff, any recommendations anyone?????

thanks

 

[ad_rach]

it's easy to unlock a tbred b (especially compared to a palomino) but you will probably need some conductive paint or a conductive pen.Some say car window de-fogger works.All you need to do is join the last l3 bridge.Go <A HREF="http://www.overclockers.com.au/article.php?id=118669" target="_new">here</A> to see how to do it.

silver marker pen also works... applied with a toothpick. anything that wont smudge and is conductive.
