my clubit 6600 couldn't even do 3ghz with 1.4 on my DS3 and was running very hot. Have my asus premium coming in tonight for the retest :)

you sound like you are new at overclocking and you probably have not done a search of this forum to see how high of overclock you can expect from a Q6600...first of all, you can check my signature...now, here is a post from a guy who is getting good success from his "G0" Q6600...there are success stories all over this forum...just do the work to find out.

So far, 3.610 Ghz (401x9) stable on AIR at 1.38 vcore real (1.4250v bios).

FWIW there is a Q6600 G0 OC'ing thread. Having said that I'll give you some prelim results here as I don't think I've finished pushing things enough yet to post there. I have my ClubIT L723A841 @ 3.8GHz Prime stable w/1.48V loaded on water in Abit IP35 Pro. I think the guy with the DS3 waiting on P5K Premium with the same stepping is in for a pleasant surprise.
And yeah, agree with Ace-a-Rue, I don't think there are many duds. With the luck I normally have I would have one.
ClubIT G0 came today, one day after I ordered 3-5 day shipping. I don't know about the guy slamming ClubIT, rated like 9.8 on resellerratings.com, and schmoozing Tankguys. Mine came in a day, no waiting in line for a week. ClubIT did me right.
SLACR L721A814 7/31/07
Won't be able to install/test until 8-17 build.
Meh. Just got a B3 from Getmore.dk
i dont think getting a g0 from clubit should be any different than getting a g0 from anywhere else. they should all overclock same, i really think that g0 stepping is really overclockers dream so far, i didnt see many people overclocking quads to 3.8 on air or even on water before this stepping, i ended up ordering one from clubit.com, and i will update when i get it.
I agree with you, but I understand some concern about which vendor since different retailers have had different batches, so potentially the vendor could matter. Not a real concern IMO since so far it really doesn't seem to matter what batch as long as it's G0, as you said.
I just installed my Q6600 that I ordered from Tankguys and it is as follows.
L724A760
Pack Date 7/27/07
Core Temp vid is 1.2625v
Running at stock speeds right now, the temps are way off because the chip is running cooler than room temp, but we all knew that.
I've received my 18 from ClubIT, still waiting on my 6 from tankguys. I've got all L723A841s from CIT as of yet. Not sure what TG is sending....or when !?!
Just got an email from tankguys, seems like they were selling vaporware. :down: Canceling my 6.
My first and last time ordering from them, seems like they need to get it together a little better.
i got this letter tonight from tankguys :( :down:
The comments for your order are
Our shipment of Q6600�s arrived tonight, as planned. Despite our being told
they were G0�s, all of them were B3�s. As such, we have been forced to delay
shipping to customers until we can source more confirmed G0�s.
We have been working extremely hard to get these chips in as quickly as we can,
and have done everything we can to keep you updated as changes happen.
Given this incredibly disappointing turn of events, we will refrain from posting
any ETA until we have G0�s in hand, so we can absolutely confirm a ship date.
We are extremely sorry about this delay, and we will continue to work extremely
hard to secure the G0�s, as promised.
We will likely be swamped with e-mails and questions, so please bear with us if
we are slow to respond.
Your order has been updated to the following status.
New status: Back Order [PAID]
Please reply to this email if you have any questions.
yeah...disappointing but they are above board and they communicate to their customers...that means ALOT in my book!:up:
they are at the bequest of their distributor....sounds like the distributor doesn't know what they are doing..or..they are short changing TG's!
wow tankguys are trying very hard, and i feel really bad for everyone and even tankguys, its not easy being screwed over. i really dont know where the heck clubit is getting all these g0's from, they seem to have them instock everyother day. they must have more connections i guess.
small businesses have less clout than the bigger ones.
wow, my g0 is running HOT. I am doing 3.5ghz with 1.35v and its running at 74c on my tuniq :/
i presume you are priming.
yea i like tank guys they have excellent customer service. too bad i canceled and went over to clubit. since they said they had them in stock. tank guys dont have and ETA. but i will do business with them again :up:
