Unlocked OEM XP2500+ from Newegg

I received an unlocked OEM XP2500+ ordered from
Newegg on Thursday, Nov 12, 2003 AQXEA0327--
Perhaps not the greatest, but my other one is exactly
the same and does 2200 / 200 at 1.6v., but not 2300
unless I crank the voltage to 1.8, and then it gets very
hot (Silent Boost with a faster fan that doesn't vibrate
like the piece of crap that came with it).

The new one seems to be an identical twin of the first.
No better, no worse. Still, a good deal for $85.

It seems to run OK at 11 x 211 (2330), a bit warm at 56 C.
I have the vcore on the NF7-S set to 1.775 v., but according
to Winbond Hardware Doctor (and the bios health screen), it
undervolts a bit, so measured voltage is 1.73 to 1.74. Room
temp is 21 C, but case temp is 39 C running Prime95. I can
see that ducting of some cooler air would definitely help the
temps. I was thinking of a big, slow fan pulling cool air from
a hole in the bottom of the case, but was afraid the airflow
wouldn't be smooth and it would make a racket. Maybe a
hood scoop would look nice on the side...
