Decided to have another go at overclocking my 3500+ Newcastle and found quite a nice discovery, or at least I hope.
The standard voltage for this cpu is 1.5v correct? Well my mobo was setting it automatically at 1.55, I always thought my chip ran a bit warm. I have just reset this manually to 1.5v and noticed a 6c drop in temperature (50c max load now), and thats with a overclock running at 2.4GHz completely stable. Still got lots of room left for more so Ill see what I can get out of it!
