Yes, they are F3s...Played with one...

Well, some people with a budget setup might actually get a single core 3.4Ghz with the price of RM150.

Iirc, LE-1600 do not come with CCB8F. The one i got was CCBVF if not mistaken...

Just to share a little since i played with one.

LE-1600
Abit NF-M2S
Kingston DDR2 667 (set to 533 5-5-5-15 vdimm 1.9)

At stock vcore and vdimm 1.9, i managed to run 24hours stable at 2.9Ghz.
I could not get pass HTT 264x3, i have no idea why...once push FSB to 265 only, it boots into post, but i just would not continue loading from there.
Too bad the proc in hometown now, if not will test it with my AN9-32x when i collect it later today...

Anyway, i do have a strong feeling that it might be able to boot 3.3-3.5.

Btw, i'm running stock HSF and stock thermal paste and guess what, 34c on idle at 2.9Ghz and around 45c on load.

Now waiting for my:
AN9-32x
2x1GB D9GCT, then i will pm -pws- to add me to the list...

Ya, the possibility is there, but wondering if AMD will ever sell that many of those LE 1600s.
Those LEs that i've seen, guess what only CCBVF. I would really like to try out a CCB8F if there is any...

Sorry...my bad for being such noobish...
My CCB8F is ready to rock...waiting for rams only...Collected my AN9 32x d...
Next thing to worry, how to get my XP-90 to work with the without the AM2 Bracket...

Ya, managed to Boot Windows 2.9Ghz@264x11. (My Dad installed windows after i left, will try to get a screenie when i get back home).

From what i see, the mobo is the limiting factor there. Using only an Abit NF-M2s.
I could not adjust proc voltage, nb voltage, vdimm max out at 1.9, i could not find a way to even set the ram to DDR2 400 to test out the max for the proc.

I have strong feelings telling me that eventhough it's a CCBVF, not a CCB8F, 3ghz should be easily achieved provided you have the proper setup. Would like to test it on my AN9 32x...

Try to search for a CCB8F, should be able to OC quite far...

The NF-M2s sucks big time...

Btw why Ta770? There are other choices around that range, with one that obviously stands out, the K9A2 CF.
Anyway, i was also considering about the TA770, K9A2 CF/Platinum, M3A...But ended up getting an AN9-32x...
Wanna wait for prices of 790FX to come down further before jumping to AMD 7 series chipset mobo.
Anyway, AN9 32x is a nice mobo to play with, loadsa tweaking options to fully utilise ur proc and ram...


Bro, i just got to boot my F3 yesterday.
Haven't install windows or anything yet, only test boot only, borrowed 1 piece of ram from Lohwenli.
I manage to boot 3.3ghz with stock vcore...
Hoping to get maybe 3.4-3.5 with stock vcore, but that will be insane.

Btw, B2 temps are out. Used to run a Brisby 4400(or was it 4200 can't recall), idle temp on stock cooler was around 55c and load temp running prime was 79-80 ... But the hsf was still not really that hot to touch...

@dblooi, thanks for the chip bro. It really performs as what i expected it to do...

Reaper HPC? The PC8500 ones are confirmed good as they are confirmed D9GMH, and boy as Jaryl said, they love voltage...

For other OCZ, not sure bout overclockability though, but the price sure is tempting. The OCZ Gold 1GB with heatspreader is only going for RM85 at C-Zone Lowyat. Still not cheap enough? However, iirc, these Golds use Powerchip, so not really fantastic OC chips.

OCZ rams are good, not very popular here in Malaysia due to the prices...
For the >PC8500, performance is guaranteed.

I have an LE-1600 sitting back in my hometown.
Tried to play with it a little, but was not very happy with my NF-M2s...

Seeing your reply reminds me about the question you asked me the other day, how did i guess that i'm having D9s while the ram chips were remarked.
Most manufacturers have certain type of "signature" on their ram chips, such as the dimples on each side found on the Microns and the tiny dot found on the Promos chips.

The pair that will be arriving at my doorstep tomorrow has perfectly squared ram chips which has dimples on each side which pretty much resembles the Microns. With the capability of them, my best guess will still be either one of the D9Gs...

On last check they were out of stock.
And they will try to push you the Asus M3A no matter how you tell them you want the TA770+.

@-pws-,
May i know why the 770+ interest you?
Are you looking at it for higher OC or do you want the AM2+ support?

There's a new Bios revision for the TA770 A2+, but not sure how well will it perform yet. Have been having difficulties finding proper reviews on this mobo yet.
So Biostar had finally breakthrough the 2.2v vdimm limit, that is interesting. I actually gave up on this mobo because i could not confirm whether the Vdimm is still limited at 2.2v. The HT part is really cool and tempting.

Go get urself one and show us what the 770 chipset can do...
I'm curious to see will it outperform the Nforce 590 in overclocking.

Btw, my F3 screenies whould be up somewhere around next week. Too bad my GeminII will only be arriving mid next week after 1-1, if not 1-1 will be the best day to pust the proc to the max and fully setup the thing as my rams and fan should arrive anytime tomorrow.

Looks like i need a lot of updating to be done.
I still keep thinking that the Biostars are all limited to 2.2...

Actually, the NF590 is no longer that expensive these days, i got it for a very decent price. If they were still priced as high as they were back then, i will not even consider it. I have not got time to really play with my AN9 though, waiting for more holidays to come so that i could spend more time with it. The proc i got from you only did around 1 hours on, and that is also booting Cmos only, have not tested installing windows until i have my full setup ready. I badly need my cooler now, i'm sweating looking at the idle temps when playing around with the Proc...Have no time to see if it could boot >3.3Ghz on stock voltage. I've stopped at 3.3...Temps were already 47c on idle...

Ur rams might have hit the wall at 416 with 1.9v.
You might want to try pumping a little extra voltage to the rams and see if it gets you a little extra on it.
Btw, always try to find the max of your proc before maxing out the rams. Set the rams to lowest (ddr2 400) and start from there.

Tats the younger brother of the K9A2 Platinum.
It uses the 790x chipset while the platinum uses the 790FX.
It's quite a bargain, however reviews on 790 mobos are still rare.
Even reviews for 770 also seem to be hardly found.
