I got my L627A795 (week 27?) from etech4sale today. I ordered last thursday and received today w/ the cheapest fedex.
[edit] ohyea... it was like $350 and some change. I ordered there because they had cheap P5D ($215) but now it hasn'te arrived yet :(
Anyone have an idea when the OEM E6600's are coming in. Outpost has been preselling for a couple of weeks at $319, but they seem to have no clue when they will come in.
Fry's/Outpost had orignally pushed back 6600 availabilty to mid September. Just last week they started selling a few ahead of schedule , but its a crap shoot when & what they get in. My local Fry's got three last week. They were all gone within an hour. Price was $379 + tax so not really worth it other than you're not buying blind. If you plan to overclock I wouldn't buy from an e-tailer that can't tell you the week code. The extra money will be worth it unless you don't mine a bit of a dud like mine. Tankguys will have weekcodes posted on their website Friday I believe. I think they're worth an extra $30 unless you're really on a budget. I ordered another "blind" from newegg yesterday, fingers crossed 'til tomorrow.Quote:

I wasted a week of waiting on Outpost. I would have bought it sooner, but .... yea. Should receive mine tomorrow.
Week27 is pretty good! Check it out:

Hell YES!!!! what volts are you using? Geez Louis I hope I get a 27:toast:
Too much!!! 1.65 in BIOS. 32M is not stable though and I haven't tried anything else in between. But as you all know I have reached the FSB w/o mods for the P5W Deluxe which is around 440-450. Anyway I think these are some really good results and definately the hope is there. :banana:Quote:

I rather spend extra $10 at TankGuys to pick the Batch# that I want, of course I'll be watching week 27 @ Thursday Night hehe
Starting @ 9 P.M.(at least that when I first checked) Tankguys showed 6600's instock. No stepping info but instock:DQuote:

It seems week 27 is the new Golden Child, I've seen a few people here hit 4Ghz with them. nicepun What kind of cooling were you using on your baby? Did it cry any when you hit 4Ghz? lol Thanks!
Well considering I ordered around the same time and shop as you, I'm hoping I got a 27 also.Quote:

few people are reporting that they got week 27 from shopblt.com so if I can't get it from TankGuys tonight, I will try my luck w/ shopblt
I'm stability testing my week 27 @ 450x8 right now. fsb is either board or memory limited to 466 (i booted at 480 but not stable at all). Max is currently at 3.74GHz with a 13.7s 1M PI run. This was all with 1.6vcore (bios)... i'll push that up tonight and 4GHz shouldn't be a prob. for me either.
I'm also on water :toast:
nicepun beat me to the 4G :(
:D :D :toast:
[edit] also, northbridge is incredibly hot. Nearly burns you if you touch it. Solution: 54dB fan pointed right at it ;)

I wonder if they are geting in week 26's?
Just got my Week 27 E6600 from MWave 10 minutes ago.
so there we go... 2 or 3 weeks after release Conroes are EVERYWHERE and at much better prices.
GJ INTEL!!!!
:woot:
I hope my week 27 does as well! Just got my P5BD in today, should be able to complete my wc loop as soon as my pump head arrives from down under!Quote:

I've thought about it - but if you really think about it, it would be a bad idea for us.Quote:

Option 3 is that we get crap overclockers... bad OCer, opened, and used? Worth very little :D So having 1 good outcome out of 3 makes it a bad deal :D
Even posting weeks/steppings is potentially bad for us. In general, I can't buy specific ones, it's luck of the draw. When I get lucky and get good ones, it's great, but when I get bad ones, they are tough to sell.
After all, you have a business to run.Quote:

Besides my $369 newegg L626 is now priming 3.4ghz 1.368vdroop 1.4v in bios with all other voltages set to auto except ram. Looks like the $350 L626 @ tankguys are the best buys for decent clocks right now.
Fry's huh? Hmm might need to swing over there. Cant believe they are selling P5W for 299 + tax! But I guess their return policy is pretty sweet. I'm see if they got some L27s or might just wait till x6800 gets lower :)
Now, does this (when I say this, I mean been a great OCer) apply to all Week 27 (i.e. other than E6600's) processors? I have a X6800 Week 24 that I would like to try out but I don't know if it's going to be a waste.
My week 23 X6800 isn't too bad. :)
http://mysite.verizon.net/gautamb/1m.JPG
I have a feeling that the early weeks were binned harder for the X6800's and E6700's, and that's why the 6600's of those weeks tend to be a little sluggish.
Extrapolating, I'd say this CPU of mine is most likely good for 1M around 4.1-4.2GHz on air. X6800 retails usually are surefire bets, I don't think any of them clock poorly by any standards.
Got my E6600 from tankguys today, and it works perfectly. Moderate OC to 3GHz was a snap.
Thanks!
Just got a week 27 from Newegg. Sweet
When did you order, & what warehouse did it ship from? Congrats, looking forward to your results.Quote:

$355 + $1.99 (FedEx 2Day), but the price dropped to $350 now.
Order 8/26 around 7:00PM EST, got it 9/1 around 11:30AM from CA to NY!
I'm sure Outpost has Week 28 E6600 OEMs too, since they just got a shipment on 8/31.

Theres no way for us comon folk to really know why. Perhaps its like when AMD binned chips for a higher clock but used it for low ones to meet demand. Its possible X6800's weren't selling so the multiplier got locked and made 6600's or something. Maybe these will be the chips anantech spoke of that the P5B will unlock because it was originally binned for X6800. Now that will be nice.Quote:

I'm going to post a comparison thread later but right now I'm trying to get my starting point for 12 hours orthos stable. I skipped the max oc default vcore test and will have to go back to it soon.
$319 free shipping oem e6600 at fry's outpost.com. Ordered mine today, the guy said The oem's came in much later than the retails so should be at least a week 27 if not a week 28! 30 day return policy unopened too! This is the best deal, PERIOD!:woot:
good deal other than (a) tax if you're in the states they are in and (b) it's OEM so it will generally not sell for much if it ends up clocking like :banana::banana::banana::banana:. Then agian, you paid 30 bux less than retail so maybe it is the way to go :)
Is yours retail box or OEM?Quote:

Our Local Fry's has a 1 day sale E6600 w/ECS P965T-A for $379.
ZOMG BEST DEAL YET!
E6600, RETAIL: $326 at Ewiz.com
Only works as a Froogle reference (in link above)... you cannot just search for it on Ewiz, or the price is higher!
Shipping is steeper than normal, but still very cheap overall in comparison to the rest.
I just FINALLY FINALLY FINALLY ordered mine!
Back From Fry's, bought the combo. The cpu was O.E.M./Tray but got a week 28:woot: Incidently all or their Retail Boxed E6600's were Week 27 for $379. Combo cost me a whopping $410.38 with tax, but o well. Its like getting the motherboard for free:banana:
XPCgear has the e6600 for 344.99
How much is Fry's charging for OEM E6600s in the B&M store?Quote:

Yes they let me pic the week. Not buying everything yet, If this cpu won't run over 400 FSB on my board then I'm gonna get a P5B until I can track down a 68MOAG P5W DH. Fry's has another truck coming in tomorrow so I'll check again. They just want way too much for the board.Quote:

Interesting I acheived the same clock with less vcore on my week 27, but the timings were 4-4-4-12. I do believe this cpu is better than the week 27 because I've booted and completed Pi over 3.8ghz right now I've decided to stick with my usual scheme and get orthos stable @ 3.7 ghz. What were your Mch, FSB, ICH voltages set to on your P5W DH?Quote:

I think its holding alot of us back. Guess I'm gonna have to jump on the P5B bandwagon for a benching rig if it doesn't happen soon. I'm Currently trying to find the sweet spot of the week 28. Should know something soon:)Quote:

The board has a max FSB of 333 but the chip will do that at default volts, so you should be in good shape until they do:DQuote:

sounds like Intel are binning these chips way ahead and then selling the leftovers. sooner or later they will have to let a few chips slip since not everyone is willing to lay out that kind of money for highest end chips.

Has anyone buy something at that site??, also notice eWiz has E6300 retail cheaper than OEM version.. ummm.
Sorry it took a while to answer back. Anyway, here's are my settings for 3.600Ghz (400x9), all of them are set in BIOS so take the vdroop into consideration.Quote:

Thanks, we're about the same. I'm really hating this P5W DH. Can't wait till I land the new revison. The board will not get into windows @ over 423FSB. How the heck did you get 450 out of this board!!! Dividers are no go either. I think my week 28 chip is better than the week 27 but it won't pass orthos above 400 FSB for long no matter what I try, just as you said. My resources are reaching their limit so its going to come down to keeping this $411 week 28 combo or swapping it for the new rev. P5W DH when Fry's gets one.Quote:

When I did the 450 (which was in no way stable, just enough to get the CPUZ verification) I actually booted into windows @ 400 then use ClockGen ;) for the rest. However, other voltage settings were maxed out (i.e. Vdimm, FSB, MCH and ICH). Give it a try.Quote:

I don't get this company - The website is a base install of an open source software, which in and of itself, isn't a problem, but clearly they didn't put much time/effort into branding it. They don't have a "real" domain name, and I've never heard of them.Quote:

Outpost.com E6600 OEM or ZipZoomFly E6600 Retail?
i just got a L626A from newegg, i placed the order last friday night, sept 1st and i got it today.
My $319 free shipping plus tax in CA oem tray from fry's outpost.com was a week 28 e6600. My handpicked week 28 one from Fry's Fountain Valley Ca was $329 plus tax for the tray e6600.
are the week 28's proving to be better than 27'sQuote:

outpost looks like the best bet for a week 28. More risky with the egg. Its like they don't sell all of their older stock before they start selling the newer stuff, then 2 or 3 weeks later they ship more older stock.
$337 shipped, ZZF
http://www.zipzoomfly.com/jsp/Produc...t=pricegrabber
I think its because they have 3 warehouses. The one in Cali is suppose to be stock with the latest AFAIK. So it depends on your location to determine which warehouse ships to you.Quote:
