T-bred XP1700+

I just bought a $65 Athlon XP1700+ that was the smaller T-bred core! I've got it running in an MSI KT3 Ultra2 mobo at 1.7 GHz. since the multiplier is unlocked! What a great deal!

I had it up over 1800 MHz. but it was a little unstable and my board was limiting the Vcore to 1.6 volts.

Really? SWEET.
Im just about to get one, and i plan on running it at 166FSB, multiplier locked for 1825mhz.

My board is a Epox 8K3A+, so runs well at 166fsb thanx to the 1/5 divider. And the Epox can go up to a rediculous 2.2V Vcore... so voltage shouldnt be a problem, though i really wouldnt want it much above 1.65v.

yep. exactly.

well with the tbreds the chip ID codes are no longer on the central core, they are on a black label on the side of the die.
look for a 5 letter code like "AIURA"

hehe. my epox does up to 2.2v. Reckon thats enough? LOL (i burnt out the L2 cache of a 1200C using 2.05v) hehehe

That's incredible! You burnt up PART of a chip, yet it still works otherwise? I've never heard of that. I've always wondered what happens when a handful of transistors on your chip die... I can't believe with the millions of transitors on these chips that every single one works. How would you ever know?

Yes its possible.
My 1200C still works, but some part of the L2 cache is dead or gives corrupted data, so if i run the CPU with the L2 cache enabled programs randomly crash and windows usually locks up after a few hours. With L2 disabled its fine, but i loose half of its performance.
