Have I got a damaged CPU?

HI
Thats an AMD mark.Don't worry.It should be there,although
some of the cores don't have it
Smiffy

Hi Bill;
a 2400+ would be something like AXDA2400..........

Hi all

Just recieved a 1700+ from www.over-clockco.uk (TB B I think but looks
from
the code it should be equivalent to a 2400+, a bit dissapointing).

However, my major concern is ther is a small, almost perfectly square,
mark
on the bottom right hand side (looking down on the CPU with the AMD logo
on
the top edge) of the CPU die.

Should I try this CPU or RMA directly back to over-clock?

TIA

Bill

Thanks folks

Yep deffinitely a 2400+ or close but running as 2700+ at the mo. (at 1.5v)
on a Gigabyte 7N400 Pro not bad I guess for a 1700+ Of course I've not had a
chance to test the stability of the PC at this speed.

Thanks for the help with the mark on the CPU as well - exactly the same as
in the photo - thanks for that and your English is fine ).

Cheers

Bill L

If you mean something like this:

i think your cpu is fine. Dunno what this mark could be but i guess
it's
a sort of digital sign.

If i were you i would try the cpu to check if it works... You can
always
RMA it after that, but i hope you won't need that

Bye (and sorry for my horrible english).

What horrible English? Sounds fine to me.

"strange" for american or english people

Bill;
If Ken is right that it is a Palomino (snipped extract below), the code will
contain an M as per:
AX1700DMT3C. Have a look at http://www.overclockers.com/tips00173/
