Yeah, but none of those sites guarantee a SL6RZ and they do not ship to Europe :(
My best chance is to ask my friend who owns a computer shop to get one for me from his sources, but I do not know if he can do that.
How high are the SL6RZ overclocking? Both the other stepping's I mentioned, have you heard of them?
EDIT: Doh, maybe I should remember the title of this post. Man am I dense.
I checked the Overclockers.com CPU Database, and the SL6EF held the top 6 spots with 3.8GHz being the highest using Prometeia. It seems the SL6EF hold's roughly 95% of all the overclock's above 3.0GHz for the 2.4B 533FSB, most being from Costa Rcia (I lived there when I surfed a lot!). Anyay have you seen that database? http://www.cpudatabase.com/CPUdb/Showdata.cfm
The SL6RZ is supposed to be the most OCable P4 right now, along with the SL6S2 P4 2.53.
The SL6EF Jupiler has is also good, apparently even more than good, but most people get better results with the SL6RZs, this is why I want one.
Well I can tell ya one thing for sure the 2.4B model smokes the other's until you get to the 2.8B, of which the SL6H seems to be the magic formula. Even then the highest OC with the 2.8 is still only 20MHz higher then the highest using the SL6EF, and that's not counting the people who are OC'ing SL6RZ's and not entering their data there.
Yeap, the SL6EF seems to be very good from what that database says, but I still would like a SL6RZ;)
I guess that is what can make this hobby (passion) of ours so frustrating. I wouldn't mind paying extra to have a garanteed stepping. It's not like I want something for nothing, I feel we as overclocker's put 1000% more time, effort, and erudition into our hobby then the average end-user. I'm not claiming were "entitled" to find the best performering cores, but if not we, who then? Should the best potential overclocking chips sit in the PC's of those who will never press "Delete" during Post, and enter the world of choices which their BIOS offers them? Isn't that sort of a waste?
I'm not so sure...
My SL6DX 2.66b averages like 3.4 on that database. MIne does that too, on warm air. Closer to 3.9 with chilled water. I think codes are over-rated. Probably has more to do with location from the wafer...QC and such...
I agree, but we have to have some "rough" estimation for performance. I didn't realize your 2.66 was reaching those height's. But please take a few moments to post there, as your post would make a significant contribution to the database. If you ask me, I don't care where the numbers are centrally located, as long as they could be. Imagine if EVERY overclocker posted their spec's there (or somewhere) then we would have a more reliable methodology of determining whether codes do offer any substantial meaning. I beleive they do, but are often too isolated to be of value UNLESS evryone, or at least twice as many people took the three minutes tops, to post at that or some database.
Can you tell me what database you're talking about and where is it?

I know one place in Europe where they got SL6RZ, dont know where it´s from (Malay etc). It´s in Sweden.Quote:

Thanks man, I really appreciate it.
I'll try and order from them.
If you got problems ordering (language) maybe you can mail them at:
info@overclockers.se
Thanks again, that swedish language is not something I understand ;)
