I am curious what kind of overclock the Toledo core AMD X2 4400+ chips are averaging. If owners could post what they are getting I would greatly appreciate it! :cool:
 
Right now I am at 2.5GHz (10x250FSB HT=4x 1000MHz 1.475vcore) I see people gett up to 2.7Ghz....

I got 2.7 ghz dual prime stable.

I could game at 2.8 ghz without the computer locking up but it was waaay tooo much voltage for me. And I don't really give a shit usually.

Do you yourself own an X2 4400 ?

Wow nice! I just pulled the trigger and bought one off newegg, I have an overclocked Venice core A64 3200+ right now, running at 2.5GHz stable.

I will have a Toledo core 4400+ here by Tuesday to put on my Asus A8N SLi Premium, after seeing how much better the dual cores perform I had to get one! :D People say once you go dual core you never go back, I hope it proves to be worth it!
 
Cancel it Now

and get a 165 or 170 dual core opteron. They OC waaay Better and are cheaper too.

lol! Yikes, well on newegg the 175 is more money, and I have read mixed reviews from sites like Anandtech stating that it takes a bit of luck to get the right setting and batch # Opteron. I'm perfectly happy taking the X2 and getting whatever overclock I can out of it, they perform incredibly well on their own. If I can get it to 2.5, which I am currently at, with dual cores of goodness, I will be as happy as can be. :cool:
 
Get the 170 for $402 I think

and you'll prolly get 2.8 ghz with lower voltages then mine and it's cheaper.

just get the Opteron 170
it's $95 cheaper and will OC just as far or farther than the X2 4400+, especially if you spend that extra $95 on good cooling

Ohhh I see, hmm now you have me really considering this. If newegg is sending the right batch # and setting I will, need to do more research on the [H]ard|Forum to see what people are getting.

I am always skeptical relying on *luck* you know?

It's not really luck. The opterons are the best out of the batches. You might not get 2.8 ghz but you''l definately be saving money and getting my same speed.

But you prolly will get 2.8 ghz out of it.
 
Thank you!

Wow! Well you guys certainly helped me out a lot, AND saved me money on my car insurance....wait...on my purchase! :D

I just canceled and bought the 170 Opty. :D :D Can't wait to see what it can do.
 
Thank god

I was about to spam you until you cancelled the X2 4400 and got an opteron


J/k

haha! Yes I saw your sticky and it's proven to be VERY helpful! Thank you kindly :D

I do have a question, should I do a format/reinstall of WinXP and my chipset drivers, etc. when I install this Dual Core CPU? I am going from Single core to dual core, does this require any special installation routine?
 
all you really need to do is reinstall the processor driver in the hardware management, if windows doesn't do so for you automatically

and i'm glad the DB was helpful for you :D
(i really gotta do a better job at keeping it updated though :( :p)
