A64 2800 is this a decent week/stepping for overclocking?

I just got this chip from Newegg and won't be able to install it until Saturday. Just wondering if it's anyone has the same week/stepping and had good luck on overclocking theirs?

Edit: Looks like 2350@default voltage retail h/s. 1.525volts got it to 2385mhz.

Priming at 2421mhz 1.55volts, 2 hours and going strong but everyone is bitching about all the windows being open in the house at 6:00 in the morning

I have mine running at 2.25 ghz with stock HSF and voltages. Full load temps are 53 degrees celcius. Great o/cer

450mhz overclock at default voltage not bad, have you tried any higher? I have a A64 3000 that does 2.2ghz on default so I'm hoping to get at leat 2.3ghz or better on default voltage with this 2800. I have a XP90 coming from jabtech, hopefully it will get here today. If not I'll use the retail fan from the 3000.

2.25 is a great o/c? You guys have much lower expectations than me. Mine would do 2.3 and I got rid of it. This is the same core as all the other newcastles. Good ones should do 2.4-2.5

Your sig says yours is at 2.25

2.3 or better @ default voltage should put me at 2.4-2.5 with a little juice, so our expectations are about the same.

with at multiplyer is may be more difficult to get 2.4 or 2.5, with a 3000+ its easier 200X10 vs 200X9

The 9x multiplier is really pretty easy to work with on a decent mobo. 9x267=2.4 and 9x278=2.5 should be no problem for my DFI.

Fixed, I sent that chip back and took the restocking fee...
