It`s just a question what you need for 3.6GHz - 1.3V or a bit more :toast:
thanks pete!
I will see whats the exact stepping and check:D
Just bought 2- 3070s Retail Box from Newegg. They were both L632B. Testing now on a P5N32-E Plus.
Let me know your results :)Quote:

First thing I noticed was that this CPU had the worst heatspreader I've ever seen. If Intel selects these CPUs then certainly not by their heatspreaders. I applied a thin layer of thermal-grease and pressed it onto a plane glass-panel and the impression was only a thin line from the very edge of the hs. So I tried a slightly thicker layer of grease, just as much as I'd use when actually putting on my watercooler - same result. So I had to start grinding and polishing even before putting it to use for the first time, just hoping it wasn't a defect one. On the picture you can see the thin margin of copper where the sandpaper had taken away the coated surface of the hs; w/out grinding, this copper-line would've been the only contact.
As for overclocking I can definitely say that this CPU is better than my 6600 (which isn't the best), but it's far from beeing a monster-overclocker. At default speed I can use less voltage and it runs much cooler than the 6600, furthermore I can clock it much higher at stock voltage (3,3GHz), but until now I couldn't manage to get it to 3,6GHz Orthos small FFTs stable at 1,44V.
But I think I have to check my mobo a little better to be sure about that. It surely has massive droop. Maybe a serious overclocker could get this CPU to 3,8GHz or more. Until now 3,5GHz at 1,44V (1,5V in BIOS) is the maximum to be small FFT stable.
BTW Orthos blend test would pass w/ much higher frequencies, so I think for sole CPU stability check small FFTs are better.
Will post if further testing gains better results.
I got my Xeon 3060 from Newegg last week, but my membership here was not approved until today, so here goes.
Sorry, no pics yet, but I did copy this down off the top of the processor.
2.40GHZ/4M/1066/06
Intel Xeon
3060 SL9TZ PHILIPPINES
7638A563
Pack Date was Feb. 1, 2007.
Intel's site says this is a B2 stepping
L631B115 here, from Germany. VID=1.225v. All Right.
My xeon came with a small whitish mark near a corner, in the bottom. All the 3060 has it?
Hey Vega, where did you buy your one?
L631B from newegg.
quick tests.
1.35 volts, stock voltage - 3600 mhz stable.
1.45 volts, top windows speed 4060 mhz.
1.45 volts top stable speed 3.97 ghz.
temps are horrible though.
the IHS has a really bad bowing to it, not concave like usual.
cooling, just plain water.
CPU isnt mine, my friend came by cause his P5WDH new from newegg, doesnt work. so he wanted to test his ram and CPU here.
seems like a great CPU to me.

1.35 stock? That is too high for xeon. Which is your VID?Quote:
1.35 volts, stock voltage - 3600 mhz stable.
1.45 volts, top windows speed 4060 mhz.
VID in coretemp
1.35 volts is normal.
look at the box.
In the box says 1.35 Max, in my Bios says default 1.325, and really the VID is 1.225, and my motherboard really is sending 1.20v (possibly 0.025 Vdrop) to mic:VCORE
Rolled the dice with Newegg and looks like I lucked out.....
L631B115 :hump:
Ordered the 6th, received today, 8th.....
I have a Xeon 3060 L631B115 pretested to run on 413FSB with 1.388V (in windows) but I have several problems get my system stable I have ran dual prime small ffts withouth problems for 9h+ but blend test it gave me an error within 1-2 minutes...could it be an incompatibility issue with my ram?...all my components are in my sig...
I had a E6600 L624AXXX before and never had this problems...
Regards,
Primoz
just got Xeon 3060 six days ago, I've found it's L631B115 :banana: I need 1.42v to run @3.7Ghz but unable to run higher. I use P6N SLI Platinum, it can post 3.8ghz@1.42v but still freeze in windows, I try variate voltage up to 1.54v but still unable to hit 3.8ghz stable :confused: .Quote:

I'm going to order one from the Egg.......wish me luck?
I got it from local INTEL distribution in indonesia (Terra Computer System)Quote:

Any new emergences in the Xeon world for super chips and weeks? Im thinking about buying a new one soon
Just how does one get a hand picked chip from NEwegg?
I really would like to know what stepping I am getting.
Know somebody that works for them? or in the warehouseQuote:

I am ordering one today, I MIGHT get lucky...........Quote:

I just got two 3060s from newegg. Incredible temps on both of them. They both are L643G009's
Seriously, the idle temp is about 25C, load of about 45C.
Impressive chips.
in what speed are you running and cooling?Quote:
