>>>THESE ARE NOT MY RESULTS <<<

from a reputable source though ;) :)

watercooled >>> i know that the 3825MHz quad prime was done with only 1.45v EEK.....

amasing stuff , where will we be at next year ? 5ghz ? amasing CPU's

[Emerica]

Wow 3.9ghz stable Quad that is fresh. The G0 stepping is no joke.

[lowfat]

wow, 3.9GHz stable? Almost makes me want to rethink getting the E6850.

[xenolith]

You're going to make my head explode... okay, now I want a Q6600... again.

[EternityZX9]

This is why I'm getting one :)

[luihed]

Wow, I was completely wrong about how these Q6600 are going to clock, never thought they will be this good....

I dont know why anybody will buy any other cpu than this if it clocks just as well as the E6850... it should run faster clock per clock too being a 1066fsb cpu.... If Intel is being this nice they might as well rid these Quads of any fsb wall lol.... Q6600 running 600fsb x 7 on air would be sweet.....:yepp:

[Gunslinger]

That is still and Engineering Sample, need to see some retail chips.

[dinos22]

That is still and Engineering Sample, need to see some retail chips.

i agree here

intel always has nice ones in the beginning and average ones later

[dinos22]

BTW 3915Mhz was with lapped IHS and 24/7 stable at that speed :shocked:

Its going to suck for availability. Since im sure local stores carry b3 steppings. and the time they get g0 steppings it will be late august im sure. And tankguys said mid august on g0 stepping of the quad. which is also upsetting. lol

Yeah, one of my local Fry's has 49 Q6600's instock. And that's after they were available for $299 with board last Wednesday. They won't be getting new shipments until most of those sell.:rolleyes:

[michaLcoughliN]

which means.. $266 for b3 mostly. unless promised g0 stepping.

[Wingdings]

Is there some way to spot which stepping it is by looking at the box it comes in? Like model numbers or something.

On the box where it says "PROD CODE:BX80562Q6600SL9UM"

SL9UM=B3
SLA9U=G0

Great! I hope I can get my retailer to check the box for me before shipping it to me. Thanks for the help, and the fast response!

[michaLcoughliN]

orly?! good tip thnxx :D

[Neon Biker]

I thought Q6600 G0s were SLACR.

[The Nemesis]

I thought Q6600 G0s were SLACR.

That may be true, the 6850's are SLA9U. When the cpu's are officially released, it will be very easy to just go here (http://processorfinder.intel.com/Default.aspx) to find out.

[Luis_GT]

66C full load @ 4ghz :shocked: here I am @ 75C under water @ 3.6Ghz with 1.4v, and lapped up to 1000 grit

Makes me want to sell my CPU for one of those... then again thats a ES... who knows how well the retails will be.

[Envydia007]

why dont they just make all chips ES ? :D

[Devious]

Nice results, much better than the Q6700 G0 (ES) I had the other night, the max I could boot to windows was 3.96Ghz with 1.62v and that was by no means stable. It also had a weird bug where I i ran quad prime it would revert back to stock speed, probably a bios (0603) issue with my P5K vanilla.

[newls1]

That is still and Engineering Sample, need to see some retail chips.

3.9ghz occt Watercooled.

[XtremeTiramisu]

OMG, this is by far the best stable G0 Q6600 clock speed I've seen, 3.9Ghz is just insane for a quad core, and even for dual cores :P

1.55v on that speed is great too. My estimate for the max 24/7 would be 1.48v and 3600mhz?

I hope retail G0 Q6600 will be in the ball park rage to this one.

Try less, my QX6700 is close to stable @ 3.6 with 1.5v bios (1.45v idle, 1.40 load)


Most likely those can run 3.6 @ 1.36 like the dual core B chips

[ak_47_boy]

Nice, can't wait for the 22'nd :D

wow, that's awsome :clap:
I'd love to see more G0 Q6600s to do better:D

From ES cpus we cant to guarantee OC of Retail cpus!
We need to wait for first G0 Retail Quads, the we will see ...

I seem to recall those first non-G0 ES quads people were posting here getting 3.8 GHz or better as well. It's just been long enough that the OC details of those first chips have been forgotten. This feels like dejavu.

very nice dinos22 :) your friend I think is enjoying his chips.. :) this is the very 1st Q6600 G0 stepping I seen.. :) and I think its really good results.. :)

[OBR]

Every ES will go to high clocks ... this is :yawn2: ES scores are for nothing ... i had many ES cpus and everyone knows OC of retail are different ...

[dogsx2]

Aren't most ES chips used for the bait and switch always?

If you know how the game is always played then you should not be surprised by the outcome.;)

QFT - Hicookie had a ES B3 which quad primed at over 3.8Ghz with similar temps

I have had a Q6700 ES G0 for a short while and its no major leap.

[Brother Esau]

If you drop the Multi on the Q6600 chip can you run 450 FSB 24/7 without issue with Ram linked and synced?

[largon]

They should make an ES-playground subforum inside Intel section...

[Viss]

Many conroe ES chips dont come close to later retail versions.

[Start]

So if we are seeing around 3.9Ghz ES. So would 3.2-3.4 retail box be a reasonable estimate?

[The Nemesis]

So if we are seeing around 3.9Ghz ES. So would 3.2-3.4 retail box be a reasonable estimate?

I'm thinking 3.5-3.6Ghz 1.35v @ load prime stable & 3.8-4Ghz OCCT & 3DMark benchable. Kinda like the early "B"s were. Again cooling will play a big part once you heat up 4 cores. People posting results should specifiy if its an open bench or installed in a case. That info would help too.

[xgman]

So if we are seeing around 3.9Ghz ES. So would 3.2-3.4 retail box be a reasonable estimate?

I'm not sure that this is a fair assumption. All ES's are not created equal and all package units are not created equal. ES units are usually held to more scrutiny by more advanced users that may be able to get more out of any chip than some others and I have heard of some ES duds along the way. It may very well be that there is a higher likelyhood of getting a better chip if it's an ES, but that's probabaly about it. I think stepping is probabaly way more important in general. All that asside, I did pay top dollar to get my QX6850 es, but I still fell like the ES part of it is not that important.

[dinos22]

So if we are seeing around 3.9Ghz ES. So would 3.2-3.4 retail box be a reasonable estimate?

as far as my source is concerned they should all be on par but i have my doubts as well

but i see no reason why at least first batches shouldn't do 3.6GHz for normal use

[Jacky]

So if we are seeing around 3.9Ghz ES. So would 3.2-3.4 retail box be a reasonable estimate?

omg ES is no SUPER hardware, they may be cherry picked... but the final silicon will do better! and worse! the main question is, will it do AS GOOD on AVERAGE? (we hope so..) but there will be "golden chips" for sure, which will clock even higher and those chips that don't clock as well..

the only possible way would be Intel changing the (final) silicon for better yields, but lower overclock (why do you need stable 4ghz chips if you can't release them because you are power constrained..)

you are right there

consider this guys all the ES chips (well most of them) in conroe were week 17 '06 and the REALLY good ones did 3.6GHz with 1.37V>>>>>>>>> now take my E6700 CPU which is week 26 '06 and the fact it does 3.6GHz with 1.31 and absolutely beats the :banana::banana::banana::banana: out of ES CPUs in overclocking........wow the conspiracy :p: :D

[erwinz]

hehehe... only 7 days to from where I live for intel price cut.. :)

lucky... My QX is doing 3.6 with 1.42v load, 1.46-1.47 idle (1.52v bios)

So far 1hour and a half of prime.... 72C load with water cooling :eek:

[nealh]

I have been watching ES chip reports like everyone and I firmly beleive most are so cherry picked to build the enthusiasm....it does seem that often the early released retail chips do well and then there general seems to be period of time where the batches seem to overclock less well and then we see the silicon get better and overclock well again

Unless Intel or AMD are ramping up for a new chip or something often the later chips do well....The recent e6600 C2D seem to be the exception(the theory seems to be the better cores we used for the Q6600) I got 2 that were true duds...one needed 1.5v to get 3200 and another need 1.5-1.55v for 3400 to be stable for 8hrs of prime95:(

I take all these early reports with a grain of sand..I do expect the early G0 to do well but then I expect in things to drop off a bit.....

But I also would not be surprised to see the G0 at retail to be perform just "OK"

[MacClipper]

heheh, bait and switch conspiracy theory neal? Flood great ES and early retail chips and then hit them between the eyes with strictly speed binned parts later.

Pow!

I leapt cos I couldn't wait, having sold off my 2 x E6300s a little earlier. :)

[ChaosMinionX]

I did the $5 TankGuys G0 preorder.... heres hoping I get a nice chip, if not oh well :)

[erwinz]

They should make an ES-playground subforum inside Intel section...

hope we have ES subforum.. :)

Yes, I think there were 2. :(

The average oc of ES vs retail would be interesting to know.:D

Sorry if this sounds stupid, but how can you tell if the Q6600 is the G0 version?

I sold it :p , after that i had E6700 , 2160 , 440 , E6750 , Q6600 , And For the end of this Week , E6850 and E4500 :rolleyes:

[dinos22]

Sorry if this sounds stupid, but how can you tell if the Q6600 is the G0 version?

stepping will be
SLACR i think (on CPU IHS)
A in the middle is important and denotes G0

[Brother Esau]

Hell I would be totally satisfied with even 3.2ghz with really good temps for a quad core chip.
