Seems a little late in time for them to still have L627's since they have been shipping later weeks for a very long time.

Return it to Newegg unused. They will give you a refund. No restocking fee if you call them.
It sucks for me, I live pretty close to the CA warehouse so I have no chance of getting B stepping from NJ warehouse.

Wow Guys!
Last sunday I ordered a chip from newegg hoping to get a 29B and instead I was shipped an 27A from NJ. (Tuesday)
I called newegg to return the chip (unopened) and asked for a refund (no restocking fee BTW)
I then placed an order the same tuesday and today when I came home I had a Week 30A waiting for me!
I didn't really want to try it since I've been wanting a "B" CPU, but I was curious enough to try it. I need it to reaply my Ceramique thermal paste as suggested by Artic Silver for use with Dual core CPU's (I was doing the old "credit card" method)
Well, This baby can do 3.6ghz with 1.375 (maybe less, don't care to try) orthos stable for about 30m.
It can do 3.8ghz with 1.4,
And 4ghz with 1.48V (1.4375 In bios)
As far as temperatues go; I'm amazed! I don't know if it is the Week 30A or the new way of applying the thermal paste (I use Ceramique) but @:
3.6ghz: 32 Idle
3.8ghz 35 Idle
4.0ghz 37 Idle
Very happy!
If you are near a Fry's then you might wanna check them out. I got my B's chip there. Best chip I have tested in a while; 3.6 orthos stable 1.37v bios idle 23C. I'm thinking of lapping this actually to get under 20C would be lovely.Quote:

just a great IHS contact!
Good CPU, my last E6400 running @ 3200 1.47 24/7 (this 6600 run as 3510!) and older E6600 L623A run as 3240 @ 1.47 only :(
Looks like a new week from the egg. CA warehouse. UPS just delivered me an E6600 L631B057. Cant test till next week when the rest of my hardware arrives.
ordered a new 6600 chip from newegg and this time it is shipping from TN...we shall see....:toast:
I got a L628B from Fry's last night. I was going to ask for a B but the fine chick behind the counter had me distracted so I didn't ask. I ended up with one anyways. I only had a little chance to test it but it looks promising. I hope to get to 4.5 GHZ on phase. Orthos stable of course.
My 29B is sucking. Can't even do 2.6GHz on 1.5V stable. Still have yet to try the other chip but both are exactly the same in terms of the stepping numbers, so not very hopeful

bios and all windows proggies report stock vid at a droopy 1.18-1.2
I'm still in a 367x9 3306,mhz orthos 10 hour run at voltage above ! 1.2375 drooping to 1.18-1.2 !! tonight we add volts
Honestly i have never heard of a E6600 not doing less than 3ghz. Can you please post the full stepping L629Bxxx. Thanks!Quote:

L628A237:nono:
guess I can't get a B chip from newegg...anybody else have this chip? any good?
What kind of temps are the rest of you guys with B chips seeing? Im usually good at mounting heatsinks and applying AS5 but I might have done it wrong this time.
At 3.6GHz and 1.4375 VCore BIOS (1.35 actual), Im seeing 58C idle, 77C orthos load. Definitely does not look right. For now Im just running it at 1.3v and 3.06 Ghz (340 FSB) until the weekend when I take it all apart again.
Oh, and the heatsink is a scythe infinity with its stock fan.
well the L628A237 is CRAP! took 1.65V to get to boot at 3.6...shipping back taking the hit on the restock...:slapass:
So sorry to hear your chip sux...I wish you much better next shipment. I too would take the re-stocking hit & swap it, good choice. Wow, 1.65Vcore huh? I am afraid to put 1.45V on mine. Today I was fooling around with MCH & ICH voltages a was able to run SP32M successfully at 430 FSB . I am feeling truly fortunate now...I really do wish you well Grinch, let us know how you make out. BTW, SP1M does 13.235 Sec at 430FSB.Quote:

I have a 30A E6600 and it needs 1.3875 to be orthos stable (in bios)
In windows (Vdrop) it reads 1.31 during load, 1.34 idle.
I can boot @ 4.0ghz with 1.4375 but I need 1.52V for stability.

I remember dak's is 3.6GHz@1.35v in bios. He didn't say orthos stable.
Saw this thread and thought I would share my results...
I ordered a new setup a few days ago and I got a 0626B 6600 shipped from CA. From what I have seen, this is one of the earliest B steppings out there.
Great results so far, 3825 Orthos stable 1.525v set in bios on a 680i board. I can run a Spi 1m at 4ghz on same volts, but its nowhere near Orthos stable.
Temps are quite high.. coretemp shows 65C under Orthos load on good watercooling. I'm hesitant to lap my IHS as these temps seem mostly in line with other results..
Anyone else have a 0626B?

I just bought a L630B from Microcenter. it was a hard choice between the L628B and all the L630A's that they had.
Does anyone have any info on the L630B??
Still wondering if I should trade for the 28B or try the 30B
my L630A does 3.6 at 1.35v bios and droop to under 1.3
24/7 stable...
havnt tested further yet too busy with work/home stuff...
Yes, it is very stable...Running Dual WCG, Dual F@H (GPU) and 8 Dime VM's 7x24...I also ran Orthos for 8 hrs without problem then decided it was wasting my crunch power & stopped. I can game all day long at 3.8Ghz 1.450VQuote:

huh??? 5ghz???
Hmm..does not sound correct even on phase
He's running a cascade. Makes perfect sense.
"Cooling= -80 Cascade"
This cpu is the best 6600 i ever had :) I will test him under ln2 but i think the board limits now...
Just picked up a L630B016 E6600 at Frys in Concord Ca and the VID is 1.2625v.:)
I haven't had a lot of time with it yet but so far it's at 3.0ghz default vcore passing orthos blend on an Abit AB9. It just replaced a L628A that wouldn't go over 3.4 with any voltage!!:mad:
I'll post back when it tops out. :toast:
How can you can tell what the VID is?
Core TempQuote:

i think the VID is a pretty good way to tell how good your chip will be. I picked up a 31A today and its VID is 1.32v and my 28B was 1.23v. I tested the 31A with same setting as the 28B, and it couldnt hang with it. Needed 1.43v to get stable.
R U using Core Temp v0.94 ?Quote:

Great, you're about to get a ton of questions like "when did you order?", "what warehouse did it ship from?", & "do you want to sell one?". Then people are gonna order from the egg just to see if they can get a b then RMA when its not:rolleyes:Quote:

i'm interested to see your result. I wanna see if that VID holds true. Set 1.35v in bios with 400x9 to see if you can get stable. Supposely with that low VID you should be able to.Quote:

I have mine running @ 3.6ghz with 1.3875 (bios), 1.33V (Vdrop)
And CoreTemp shows the VID as 1.0625v
My CPU can boot and do basic windows applications @ 4.06ghz with 1.48V
Gaming stable with 1.52V

Got 3.2ghz at default vcore and 3.3 failed in 2 minutes. Not going to fine tune it because its getting more volts!:DQuote:

Thats a smart way to overclock.:nono: You hang your cpu it may not work as a well as when new.;)Quote:

wat is your temperature like when in 3.6? I mean small FFT stress..Quote:

I assumed you had the abit max board when I saw the abit utility, my bad. The 3.6ghz @ 1.36v is a good goal, and it wasn't a guess, its user experience with b core cpus. But I understand if you don't want to push your cpu or system. Have fun with whatever you do. Considering your 3.1 ghz with 1.22vcore @ load, I think you have a real gem there.
:toast: We're cool dude. I'm just trying to provide some info for this thread. Raised vMCH up a notch and now it's doing 3.3 Orthos blend ok. Gotta wait till am though.:D Oh, and I posted wrong screen last post.:brick:Quote:

you need to use coretemp .94, the older version I think read the wrong VIDQuote:

Thats decent. I got a L626B089 from there about the same time. I'm waiting on an overclocking board to give it a try.Quote:
