First run with Newcastle 3400+ with Stock Mach 1 (home made A64 kit :D )

Check this out :)

Today i finished my homemade A64 kit, made with 5mm UVBlue plexiglass. This looks much better then the madshrimps one :p:

And the results are awesome compare to a $100 A64 kit by Nventiv. This cost me around $10,- at most :)

Based on this: http://www.madshrimps.be/?action=gethowto&howtoID=41

Here some pics of the mod:

And the results:

Vcore: 1.68v-1.72v (EPoX 8KDAJ fluc. a little)

Pretty cool this first run :)
Temps: -25C idle / -18C stressed / evap: -43C

Playing further .. :)

Nice work you've done there, and nice results too. Congrats.
Very inventive.;)

Great results! :toast:

Got any good gpu to do some 3d benching?

:edit: i thought this was clawhammer not new caslte.

3dmark01 scores are on the way... still finding best voltage. :)

Very Nice!!!! I need a higher multi than this 3000+ newcastle so i can use my Good BH5's. I've been wondering how the 3400 newcastles would do.

I max mine out @ 2.85ghz and still benchable.

Do you think the chip has some more in her with some more volts??

10x less the price of having to buy is always nice. What's the max you Cpu volts you can get on the epox board. Mine max's @ 1.81v when set to 1.85v. My temps are staying in line. The newcastle runs a lot cooler than the Clawhammer i have here.

What's you temps at??

It depends on what voltage you are @2.85GHz. What cooling are you using?

My temps are now -1/-2C still priming.
Hows this baby do on a refilled mach 1 :D

Ted :

I noticed that some stores in germany have dropped the prices for the A64 chips.

A64 3000+ : 170€
A64 3200+ : 220€
A64 3400+ : 300€

Don't know if they changed in the US too. perhaps wanna check it out.
I'm gonna wait a couple more days and prolly get an 3200+ or even a 3400+. We'll see.

nice oc. :slobber:

Very nice! :up:

what is your topic about your OC with NC3200+?

You mean this one... :confused:

Jeff: Tnx, now i can see what temps a Mach 1 @507 has on this board :)

This is a stable speed now:

I'll be curious if you'll be able to get over 2830-2840MHz stable. I'm having a bit of a problem getting above that to run stable... even with 2.1v. ;) Seems 1.95v gets 2810MHz stable and then the extra .15v doesn't get much more for me. Could be my chip though... :(

Good luck. :toast:

Nice!

Hey, What did you use to cut the plexi? I just cant find out how to cut some plexi....

THX

Man, that is a really nice cut on that plexi, how'd you do it?

Thnx :D i cut it with a dremel (the inside) and a Jig saw (@low speed :P) to cut the plate. Very easy to make.
Took me around three hours totale.

3 hours...lol nyways, sweet job!

3 hours made that plexi, including and modding bracket, etc.. :D

omg nice results dude :up: keep it uppppppppp

Pushing some more :) stable offcourse.
But sometimes this board craps out... :confused: after hours of prime when i do something else...

A question maybe someone know:

When i scroll my mouse, i hear something from my cpu/mosfet. a litte sissing sound.

Whats that??

Ok... that's what I've been getting too. It seems to happen more with my BH-5 sticks than with my AData for some reason too. I still haven't gotten around to really looking into it though. I tried the easy things like adding cooling to the chipset, regs, memory, etc but it doesn't act like a heat related problem. :confused:

At any rate... nice results! :up:

hmm, when you say you added cooling to the chipset, what did you? cause i need to make mine active

First thing is just take off the original and put some real thermal paste down. ;) I did that and then just added a fan blowing across it. My chipset temperature went from ~70c to ~40c.

arctic silver adhesive stuff?

how did you fit the fan with nothing to attach it to? cause im in a tight spot thanks to the heatpipe vga cooler..
