I have an athlon 1700+ jiuhb which was given a ten out of ten rating by hexus.net. Some guys at http://episteme.arstechnica.com/eve/...&m=42700819533 claimed they can only get this chip up to 2 GHz with 1.8 v. The hexus.net review claims it can reach 2.1 GHz without a voltage nudge.
Do all cpu's of the same stepping have a similar overclockable ceiling???
I cannot overclock my jiuhb because my mobo is a really bad overclocker and i am thinking about getting an ABIT NF7-s and dual channel pc 3500 and a specialist cooler so I can overclock it. the hexus review gave it a 10/10 rating, can't wait to overclock it.
