Unhappy XP1700+ JIUHB disappointment

I got my 1700 yesterday, ran downstairs and slapped it into a KT7A that was running a 1600 (that wouldn't OC worth a damn).
I booted in default, went into the BIOS and set for the standard settings for a 1700 and then ..... nothing. Cleared BIOS, still nothing.
IT IS DEAD. Well, it is on it's way back to Newegg and we will try again.
I can wait, I am not in a rush, I just want it NOW.

I didn't know until I got it.
date: 0312WPMW

Probably not the strongest date code, but should do fine. Will sure run a lot cooler at 1.6 than a TBird.

if I got a new mobo I could.
right now I will be happy with a cool runing 1.8 or so.
These are all old KT7A v1 boards so 13x is my to multi and FSB over 140 gets real touchy for folding.

I have heard that with the V1 KT7A running a T-Bred is sometimes possible, but seems to be a very hit-or-miss thing. My main rig is on one of these (with a T-Bird 1200 @ 1400) and I plan to try it out myself when I get a chance.

Anyone here have an opinion on that?

Sorry to hear about your problem, edcentric. I have ordered enough stuff from Newegg since December for two complete systems and have been very impressed with their service. (Fortunately, in my case everything has worked OK). Hope you get your replacement soon.

If it turns out that those old KT7A boards won't run a Tbred, you can get a MSI K7T Turbo2 KT133A mobo from Newegg for $55 and they will run all 266 fsb Tbreds with no problems with the latest bios. That way you can reuse your ram and everything in those old rigs and still use a modern proc and the price is pretty cheap. I have 1 of these running a Tbred B 1700 at 2000 MHz. They don't have an ISA slot though, so if you are using an ISA card in your present rig you would have to replace it with a PCI card.

It seems like newegg is always getting the good batches of cpu's though, with stepping wise. I guess I got a hit with mine, I got a JIUHB from newegg last week.

I asked em about it, they wouldn't say what steppings they were shipping. So its luck of the draw...I think I'll spend the extra 20 and go for a sure thing
