what i heard is that chips made after week 40 are better yours is week 42 so the answer is its probably pretty good, but theres no way to know untill u try ocing it.

Yup, some do, some don’t. It’s the luck of the draw when it comes to a good overclocker.

currently running this chip @

11*240 1to1 for 2640 @ 1.55v HTT x4 on MSI K8N Neo2. Gonna prime it to see if she is stable or it may require any more voltage. So far so good.

I usually idle around 40c and during prime test my chip gets up to 55c. Does 15c increase sound about right for prime 95?

15C increase can be very normal.
