XP1600+ versus XP1700+

[smac]

there was thread here a little while ago with some comparison info but I can't find it.....any one have any knowledge of the differences here? Reliability, speed, o'clock potential etc thanks

who cares which one of those CPU's are better etc ?? jst get a XP1700 its only $1.12 more expensive than the XP1600.

[smac]

I'm not paying more for something that's not better! But anyway, the question got answered for me - turns out that although everyone advertises the 1600, hardly anyone has it in stock, and nobody has it at a compeditive price. 1700 on the way....

[Deviant]

You would have to say, on average that a 1700+ will overclock better than a 1600+.

You could also probaby sell a 1700+ on tardme for $10 more than the 1600+, cause it's full of tards, so it has better resale value.

Now whats better? Do you actually think a faster chip is made to run slower than a 1600+, certainly not on purpose. For a few dollars more I would even go to the 1800+ (but it's $30 so maybe not).

I'd go for the 1800+ too..... but my 1600 goes to 2000+(160Mhz FSB+) and higher so I don't worry that much ;) Got mine to 2100+ and it was a beauty. My PSU has since denied me the pleasure anymore.

Going for the 1800XP+ sounds crazy to me, exactly why would you pay $30 more for a tiny 66mhz more, and .5 higher multiplier with the 1800XP+ compared to the 1700XP+, when you're going to overclock and probably unlock it anyway so huh??

It's probably too late but I would of advised you not get a leadman aswell, very noisey and there is that higher then normal failure rate world wide to worry about..

[mird-OC]

i'd have to agree with Ragnor. considering the pretty amazing yields AMD have been achieving with their palominos, there would be zero difference between a XP1700+ and a XP1800+.

Had no choice.... the hyena was dying and I needed another case fan as well.

Well so far I have no noise from my leadman (hell I have a V7+ and 2 case fans.... I'm only gonna notice noise if I had wc. Everything is sweet, I'll only have it for like 30 weeks anyway.

Well I have no more hyena crap... well apart from my case ;) oh well.

:D HYENA BASHING SOON DUDES :D

XP1700 t/bred A chip is in place. Running at 1595GHz (11*145 which is the highest my m/board will do) it's still 5 degrees cooler than the o/clocked duron 950. Won't bother getting it unlocked until I get a board that supports multiplier changes.

[must kill Dell adguy]

check www.pricespy.co.nz.....ETC computers have XP1700+ for $129

[must kill Dell adguy]

although....beware of etc computers they have really dodgy warranties.....they basically don't cover for anything!!!

[Blitzkrieg]

they have to still give warranty under nz law, u just cant not give one, they could get sued easily, i would say if u would threaten them with action they would back down

Only because the 1700 were carried to later week productions. The week 16/9 XP1700 remains unrivalled by every other palomino CPU except the 2100, in terms of overclocking :)

I'd screw both Palomino Processors off, and grab an 1800 Tbred :D These are the bomb, many do 1.92ghz 2 1.725v aircooled, and some reach as high as 2017. :D

if none of you has noticed smac has already purchased a 1700+ and this thread is sorta past its used by date, know what i mean.;)

[Ragnor]

Sssshh...It's funny to watch them argue and carry on... :D

Actually there's some good info coming out, not quite dead yet

[smac]

now I'm just waiting for somebody to leap forward and offer me an A7N266-VM board with 512ddr for 50 bucks!! ....waiting....waiting.....

[Antallica]

*Wonders if smac's 1700+ can beat my 1600+ @ 2200+ (1.8Ghz)*

:D

[smac]

...locked, sitting on a A7V133-vm with a maximum fsb of 145 it won't!! *lol* it's quite happy at XP1900 with a 7V cpu fan though
