Amd 64 Question

The XP-120 does not fit on the MSI K8N Neo2 Platinum without bending some capacitors.  I personally don't want to do that, so I would get the XP-90.

Have you done this? That's my first question because I have and I didn't have to bend any caps along with many other people who use an XP-120 with the Neo2 plat. I believe the very 1st revision of the neo2 plat was the only one that had that problem.

I JUST opened my Neo2 Plat up and installed my XP120 roughly a week ago. I did have to bend a single cap. Not far, and it worked fine, but I did have to bend it, and it wasn't the most calming experience in my life. I was hoping that the new revs of the board would not require a bend, as that's what some people have suggested, but that does not appear to be true. I ordered it from newegg, and it came with bios 1.4 already on it, so I doubt it was an old one that just didn't get sold right away. That being said, I would order both pieces again given the chance.

take a look around at the oc's people have on the winchesters and newcastles... a lot of the higher ones are the winchesters on the neo2 with tccd ram...

The winchesters do have an improved L2 cache controller, but they start off at a lower clock speed ( 3000+ 3200+ ) i would say that in general the winchesters are better. OCing and performance

I have the Soltek SL-K8TPro-939, I think this board is the best ive had so far.
