Operating at 1.60v I would say this is most likely a Tbred B, The Tbred B that I have is an AXDA2100DUT3C AIUHB. It is only by further core information on the CPU packaging that you can tell if its an A or a B unfortunately, but running at 1.60v is quite a good indication.

Hope this helps..

If you are in the UK, then dabs is a good bet. I took a chance and ordered my 2100+ from them and got a B. I haven't seen a UK site that guarentees a Tbred B but the A's must just about be gone by now....

[KAsports]

well i did find the code from dabs :P
its good to know that its a tbred. tbred a or b is not too important, but of course a tbred b would be ideal.

as u can see my current spec(sig), u think i can oc the 1700+ to near/on 2ghz.

my main concern would be whether my HS/F and RAM be good enough. my mobo should support it right?

[F_A_L_C_O_N]

It really depends on whether its A or B

since A will most likely go up to 1800-1850 range and B to 2000-2400 range

[KAsports]

thx for the reply.

now even getting to 1.8ghz, i'll be happy.

its just that i'm not sure if my current hardware will handle it...

pls advice

hmm check out my reply HERE

might help a bit

[Arris]

If you are only changing the CPU multiplier the ram will be fine. If you are changing the fsb to overclock in conjunction with the CPU multi then your ram might hold you back. Check K62s reply in the other thread.

[KAsports]

the oc bios settings is a bit limited.

i need a bios that can hold the cpu fsb at 100, (coz my crap duron), so i can go higher on my ram fsb past the 133.

anyone know such bios for k7s5a?

[F_A_L_C_O_N]

Well there are different versions of Ks5a but they all support Tbreds so it shouldn't be a problem

CPU support for ECS boards

recently I built the comp with K7s5a and my old TbredA 1700,
I made it run at 11*143Mhz BUS at 1600Mhz stable with 2100DDR

since you can't change DDR voltage I could not run it at 166Mhz where PCI is supposedly back at 33Mhz

so to OC any further then I did and keep it safe (with 143Mhz BUS, PCI is at 35.75Mhz which is bellow 10% deviation, basically safe), you will have to paint different multiplayer on Tbred (BIOS even OC BIOS doesn't support MP changing)

link to paintguide

and to the link with some benchmarks of my ECS system (scroll down)

[KAsports]

i think that would happen the same as me..11x143

143fsb on a 133 ram is about max i guess...
unless i can change the multiplier?

[coyote81]

If you get better Ram, then your Volcano 9 will not hold you back, I think it is a great Heat Sink, not as good as others, but it is great, mine does the Job really well.

I have my 1700+ TB"B" OC'ed at over 2GHz right now, and someone else on this forum has theirs at 2500MHz. These are Both "B"'s mind you, not the "A" core

I think it is your motherboard holding you back. Thos boards are just horrible for overclocking. They make OK budget systems, but the performance is about 10-20% lower than the new nForce2 boards. Get a new board if you really want to overclock.
