I got my 2200+ in yesterday and the first thing I did was break out the magnifying glass to look at the traces. The CPU is an AIUGA (anyone have info on this stepping?) It looks like the L1 is intact, I can see laser cuts on other bridges but the L1 is clean. Is AMD shipping these already unlocked?

didnt u said ur gonna get 2800+ ?

Why does it matter? The 2200 doesnt OC for **** (Sorry I know that isnt much help, I'll shush now =P)

actually they do oc ...its just the matter of how they oc if its a core A then u get a very small shtty oc....

if its a core B then i hear u get a 400-600 mhz oc

as far as i know the T-bred B core 2200 cpus are a myth. i have yet to see one. if you are talking a core cpus, id be suprised if you get a 100 mhz OC with it unless you are using extreme cooling methods

Hey BA, can you post the full part number, like is it

AXDA2200DKV3C ?

or maybe

AXDA2200DUV3C ?

All of the "B" core T-Breds I have seen have a stepping of AIUAB. But I am still looking, and I will also check to see if your stepping is common to other XP2200+ Chips.

BTW, is it Brown or Green, and does it have product info on a black label at one side of the chip, or just on the core?

Edit: I just checked Overclocker's.Com 's CPU data base and not one of the 31 entries had your chip's stepping, that is probably encouraging as almost all were AGOGA , AIRGA , or AIRDA. Where as all the newer "B" core XP2400 , 2600, etc have all begun with AIU.

Still checking Bro.

OK, Just checked an article where a guy had two XP2100 T-Breds and both were AIRCA. To me this looks better and better, I think you have a new stepping at a minimum.

heh i duno if its just me, but theres sumthing realy funny goin on wit amd

they keep pushing relese dates back, then not selling chips and **** wtf

but anyways i decided to go wit a p4 for mi next rig....threre a bit better for multimedea purpose and also oc much better....now i just have to find a mobo that would support pc3500 ram

The only thing funny is that AMD is building up their stock of newer chips so that when they are sold, they are sold in good numbers, and forcing a clearance of the old Xp chips that are out there.

Clown, I was going to wait for the 2800+, but couldn't. I got a Dragon Platinum KT400 that will support the 2800 when it comes out.

The chip is brown and the number is on a black plate, the core is clean. Part Number is AXDA2200DKV3C. Full stepping number is AIUGA0234MPM. I couldn't find anything on it either. It's an OEM chip.

Alright BA, it looks like a new stepping on the "A" Core, but I can't be sure because I can't find a single reference to an "A" Core stepping that starts with AIU, ALL of the chips that start with AIU have been new 2400,2600,2700, and 2800 "B" core T-Breds.
Furthermore, although these new T-Breds that are so hard to get all run at 1.75Vcore which means their codes look like

AXDA2600DKV3C and the K is for 1.75Vcore

It was expected that the "B" cored chips at 2200 and below, if the show up, would be 1.6Vcore with a U instead of the K.
But perhaps they still need 1.75V for the 2200+.

As far as the bridges go, I would be very thorough with investigation what you need to do to unlock it because the bridges are different between the Palaminos, T-Bred As, and perhaps the Bs.

Good luck my friend, hope you get 300+ mhz outa that guy.

Let us know how it goes, i hope you really did get a T-bred B. that would rock if they were available, I think id have to go buy one heh

Oh Yeah...300+ or the chip dies trying.

Abyss, you are such a pessimist sometimes. I'll have to post screenshots of the OC or of the fried chip.

I'm sorry BA, I really didnt mean to rain on your parade, I just have very little faith in the computer industry and ive found it better to expect massive delays and shortcomings of product and then be pleasantly suprised when im wrong, than to anticipate some badass piece of hardware that just doesnt live up to my expectations.

its all about my life outlook, pretty much how i live everyday. sorry if it affected you bro. im happy fr you

AMD announced that they are shipping 2 million 2400+ chips during the 4th quarter and holiday season, so this should be some good news.

As for the info, i couldnt find anythign on that chip either, ill keep looking though

Hey BA, here is a closeup of a T-Bred, maybe it will help with ID'ing your core and bridges for unlocking.

Here is an XP2200+




An Unlocking link;


XP2200+ Unlocking

And some OC info also from
AMDMB

Hope it helps big guy.

BIG help, thanks. Yes, all my L1's are intact, and 1, 3, and 5 on L3 are cut. Since I only have to connect #5 on the L3, I can draw completely around the outside of the pit. Easiest CPU I've ever unlocked! All I lose is the 13.5 multiplier, no big whoop. Now if I can just finish it's new home so I can test it.
