got one of these combo's . Put the 2100 in my ak31a and took out the tbred 1800 @(2000+) and put it in the ak32a at the same speed. took the 1600+ out of the ak32a and put it in the k7s5a pro. it is a tbred and it booted up at 100X20 (2000mhz ) unknown cpu at stock voltage. turned it down to...
i got a 1700 from newegg after i ordered a 1800. did not matter because it is unlocked and it is at xp2000 on a ak31 with only a change in the bios.
so yes the t-breds are unlocked. runs cooler than the 1600 it replaced.
I ordered a 1800 t-bred from newegg and they sent me a 1700 . that was ok because i put the unlock cpu in my ak31a and now it a 2000 with a volcano 5
run cooler thatn the 1600 it replaced. if you have a bd that can change the multi's get the t-bred 1700+ or the 1800+
$67 sounds good if you are on a budget. I too have the ak31 V3.1 with a 1600 and i have to remember to reboot some times it is so stable. but if you
are a serious overclocker you might want to spend an extra 20 bucks for the ak35 wich has a core voltage adj up to 2.3v.
weLL if you going to leave the multipliers alone. then any number of bd.s from abit, msi, shuttle, epox. are some ofther major brand will do.
if you would like the spend the extra cash and get a MP instead of the XP you can unlock the multipliers like the old thunder bird.
If you overclock you do not need the ecs k7s5. if you want to over clock and still want the sdram and ddr slots but you have to get a lan.
The shuttle ak32l with kt2676a is the bd. it has the same oc options as the ak31a. saw it for $60 on pricewatch.
If you are going to spend the whole 100 then the ak35 gtr is a good choice. but if you don't need the raid and the
and the extra sound. then the ak31 is going fo 25 cheeper which could go toward memory or video
according to the specs on your mother bd. the xp 2000 + will not run on it.
for one you need a 133 mhz bus speed .
you would be better off speed wise to get a new mb with upgrade room and a lower speed xp. DDR would be nice
so a new setup would be in order to be more economical or wait the...
first thilng first , try the chip in another bd. to be sure it the chip.
if you have friends like me they will have some test systems around and most will be glad to try out amd new jewel.
