I've got both chips here right now... an original 3500+ Newcastle and the new caa2c 3500+ Newcastle, I'm going to test them both out on air, water and phase this weekend... hope the new caa2c clocks well :)

gocchin, may you prove me right! PLS! I got the 2600+ sempron this weekend, myself.
It would be interesting to see a comparison of the NC and this new one running at same clocks, I wonder if there would be a difference?Quote:

Except for the serial no. :D
I've also done some tests with a XP-90 + chilled air cooling
(I opened the windows in my room. :D )
and got it prime stable at 2.8G with vcore 1.6V :)

you've probably just hit a brick wall on that chip...Quote:

stable up to 2.6 but no matter how many more volts i put in, i couldn't gain any more...
Managed to run a cool PI score for this chip :D

what kind of temps is everyone running these chips up to? my xp-120 is working as good as i thought it would with this chip...if i go over the 1.55 voltage mark my temps are going into the 60c range and i cante keep it stable. anyone else with similar results?

I'm at 250x10 for 2500mhz with stock volts 1.49-1.50 with a temp of 43-45c.
270x10 for 2700mhz with 1.71v was 58-60c but is not prime95 stable.
I'm running my memory at 227 with 1t at 2700mhz and I don't know if its my memory thats erroring out. OCZ3700EB, but I read that its not so great in the MSI NEO2.
Using the stock HSF and AS5 at 2600mhz and 1.456v, i see 43-44C idle, and when prime blending i hit 58-59C. Guess its time to start looking into a XP-120 or a watercooled system
Prime failed after 2 hours at stock. Now that is odd.
these arn't looking so great all of a sudden :(
The only benefit for me is that I can run 10x255@1.55v........I think. Whereas on my winnie, I had to run 10x250 w/5:4 for the mem. My FX-53 wouldn't even thing of running over 10x245 at any voltage. So for me, yeah, it was worth the money. But I'll be buying a venice ASAP. I want that 11x255.Quote:

yeah what the hell happened? the first posts we saw on these chips they were hitting 2.8-2.9 consistently :stick: I still have hope though since mine is at 2.6 on stock volts :)
OT: Does anyone know of a sticky/FAQ that explains all the different settings of the DFI mobo? Im losing my mind trying to get them all straight!
I couldn't run my 3700eb over 220 in my neo2 without errors.Quote:

is it safe to run 1.6V 24/7. Will that reduce long term life on tyhese chips or is 1.55V the max you'd want to run? Or do these not respond to voltage increases as wel las some other chips?
it's all about the heat. 10c will halves life expectation of most electronic components...could be the SMD's that die before the silicon does.
Normally i feed my chips anywhere from 1.6 to 1.9v .. haven´t killed one yet. The procs can take 1.7 and 1.8 just fine as long as your temps are fine.Quote:

Maybe I reduced the liftime with 3-4 years.. but who cares. Its not like im gonna be using this more than 5-6 (tops) months anyway :)
I say kill the NewCastles and Clawhammers.. lets get Venice or San Diego :banana:
Formann your evil.
This PC needs to last probably 4-5 years. So im thinking 1.9V = not a good idea :P.
So volts in a resonable range are ok as long as temps in Spec? 60-65C right?
Evil? No .. reckless.. maybe :shrug: :p:Quote:
