Is there some way I can check VID without a motherboard?
Yeap, I was at MicroCenter earlier and I also saw a really light blue Quad
Q6600 box over as well. Seems like Intel just recently changed to these light blue box. I also saw a few more faded/teal bluish box of the original color, so I'm sure MC has both in stock. I wasn't able to make out what the batch number was for the light blue Q6600. It was somewhat stuck in between a few other CPU boxes, so I couldn't read the batch info. It might be an '08 batch as well.
Anyone else who can confirm that this batch sucks?
i went to microcenter today and told them my concerns, they let me look at their procs and i found one last l737b q6600. they let me exchange right away
this batch can hit 3.6ghz with like 1.3v according do the quad OC database

im probably going to get phase change and another processor... mabye a e8400 to run some superpi on then i will more than likely give it to my girlfriend
l737b046
anxious to check VID when my motherboard comes...
Yes there was a guy who collected alot of info about this batch:L737Bxxx, and it seems batches with low last 3 digits got vids between 1.20-1.235 mine was a L737B242, and got a vid of 1.2125Quote:

quoting sno.lcn
"My L737B046 is pretty decent. Goes up to 4.2ghz on 1.4v, I've had it up to 4.6ghz on 1.55v (subzero cooling obviously)
Unfortunately I have no idea how it does as a daily driver I'll post back when I find out though "
will get my motherboard tommorow.. i will post back then

This is the oem I just got today from newegg. Unfortunately mobo won't be here 'til tomorrow. An off topic heads up too just in case anyone cares. A-Data vitesta extreme ddr2 800 c4 2x2gb kits are $80 at newegg.
So lucky you already got yours, this waiting thing is killing me! My DS3L and Q6600 are supposed to be here tomorrow though!Quote:

we will see what my q6600 can REALLY do by the end of next week :yepp:
(was going to get a q9550, but decided on phase change unit instead... saved me a few $$$ while i was at it too)
Wow, the last three digits on mine are 667... Can anyone verify more about the L803 and L804 batches instead of posting info about L737s?
/Bump...
@loonym
Where did your Q6600 get shipped from? The Newegg warehouse in the West or in the East? If in the East then I'm jumping on that right now... I'm not taking a chance with this one, since its a rumored crappy batch AND the last three digits are fairly high... (667)
That is if the processor is unopened. Once it's opened, like I said above, your fate is sealed...no exchange unless it dies on you. If it's still unopened, they will exchange it quickly without hesistation.Quote:

I just got a L746A265, and the damn thing clocks like crap.
Mine came from NJ. Mobo, hs, psu all shipped from Cal and should be here today.Quote:
