Where can I find a 3.2 Prescott with EO stepping?

you'll have to wait, Intel will be wanting to clean out the old D0s first before releasing the E0s.

plus they'll need those e0's for them J-cpu's first..
that information concerns you only if u are looking for skt478 3.2..

Where can I find a 3.2 Prescott with EO stepping? This seems to be the question of the day/month/week. :D
I'd love to know how the 478 E0s are doing. :confused:
Oh, and be careful mentioing the Js in here - the nannies might scold you, since this is a 478 thread, LOL. :ROTF:

I don't know what Socket this thread concerns....he didn't say. Who knows...so lets go for a S478 and S775 thread. Sounds fine to me...

It was for 478.
775 is DO only at this time I think?

I'm going with 775 socket

You can, though the extra cash on mobo change means you can get the 3.4e Prescott on your current motherboard.
Your call though. Also, 775 means ugly and disgusting High latency ddr2, unless you go 915p mobos, which arent as good OCers as 925x motherboards.

Go with 775 and 875/865 mobos...

That's what I did, abit as8.
But i would like to find a 3.2 EO processor

EO???? you mean ES or something?

Yep :D Just got it today... so far so good but testing it slow. at 4Ghz with 1.38V so far but running hotter than my D0 at 3.9Ghz with 1.58V... need to recheck the mount. Memoryexpousa has proven to be very good so far, they shipped the same day and I got the E0 as stated.

posts of temp graphs would be nice :)

Dood, you have water??!? Put 1.6v through that puppy and let's see what she can do! :devil:

update?
ive seen some E0's in the UK
Socket 775
on www.action.com
but none in stock.

Bah! This thing won't do 4.1 stable, superpi fails as does P95, this is with 1.58v in bios. 4.0 is good at 1.51v and totally stable. Guess this chip only will do 4ghz. It runs much hotter than my D0 too, can't figure it out at all.

I bought an 3.4GHz D0 OEM from Newegg once and that chip will not even do 4.2GHz stable on my Mach2 no matter what I did. Some OEM chips are very disappointing. So far the retail chips have been much better for me.
Back to your chip nikhsub1, MemoryExpo USA won't take back any CPU for refund. I think it was stated in their policy, not like newegg. So I will try newegg first if you buy CPUs.

The 3.4Ghz is crippled because for only at 200Mhz increase in stock clock, it shares the same wattage consumption as the 560 3.6 Ghz. Thats probably why its harder to OC those well. The 3.2 LGA shares the same wattage as the 2.8s and 3.0s 775.

Good point.
Just as a note however, the new 3.4 E0 has the same lower thermal guideline (84W) rating as the 3.2, 3.0, etc. The 3.6 E0 remains 115W.

I think the best chip out is the 3.8 EO
people are getting 4.8 easy on vapo
maybe this hole thing of "E0" is just over hyped... i mean ive had 3 prescots
all run hot as hell.
but no Eo's so far.

Well, what I have always wondered looks to be true, the EO may get it's lower thermal spec from the fact that it throttles down both fsb and voltage when demand is low (good idea). I'm disappointed in your results, I had better hopes for the EO step.
I bought a 3.4 ES that should be here Saturday
(it might slip to Monday) and I will post results after I get it.
