Anyone using week 25A? E6600

[Ajfina]

Just wondering hows ur performance with that chip, mines is not doing well , im just trying to make sure if is my cpu or something else , but im 99%is the cpu that is holding me big time, cant pass 3.3 and have to bump volts till 1.6 or more and not stable on orthus temps are no low neither, I think is going to EBAY
thank guys

My 26A is at 3,2Ghz with Intel stock cooler @ 1.425 V in BIOS so 3,3 @ 1,6V seems pretty high...

[Lestat]

the 25a's werent that good. but 1.6v seems just insane

if thats 1.6 in the bios dont forget that all the new 680 boards undervolt for some stupid ungodly reason, i cant recall but i thnk 1.6v is like 1.52 or something.

I was in the same boat as you a couple weeks back. I had a 25a that couldn't get orthos stable over 3.3ghz and wouldn't even post over 3.6ghz with 1.7v. I blame myself for rushing out and grabbing a c2d as soon as they were available. I sold mine and now have a 28b. Its a night and day difference in voltage necessary to attain the same oc and some people still want you to believe weeks don't matter.

i have a bad cpu aswell, to get 400fsb i need 1.6, it dosnt move if i dont set 1.6 or higher

It is Fvcking crazy , i tryed this cpu in 2 dif boards( ds3 and 680i) eith same results no go over 3.3 not even stable at that speed svckssss, im selling it for sure . thanks guys
and 3,6 is IMPOSSIBLE ,,,,FORGET IT.
got all frustraded that im running it at stock speed and the fvcker temp is 39 (tuniq tower)
had a very bad luck with this cpu, ill get a 28B watch me :) I know a store down here (chines guys) that they bring almost everything form china

28Bs are really really great stepping CPUS :)

yea dude if you tried pushing vcore and it wont go higher with everything else running right, it's time to let it go. My week 24 was similiar, however, it did get to 3.6, just needed like 1.575v to get there.

I'm still looking for some more but can't find any around here.. :)

what about 29B's?? I have a virgin unused L629B369 on the way and I'm just drewling to get it under water:banana:

[hot_fifty]

B29 god aswell. But they get damn hot

[cdelong]

tis OK..... It'll be under water man.

My 25A E6600 was 12+ orthos stable 9*370=3330@1.34v..not bad!

[zaarath]

I managed to get my 25A to 378*9@1.4V
any higher than that will result in a random reboot in orthos, no matter how much vcore I feed it.

Yeah 25A is kinda crappy, sucks to be an early adopter.
