the x3210 is cheaper because it is only 2.16 vs the q6600 2.4. The x3220 is about the same price as the q6600 generally.

my xeon 3210 idling at 40 degree c with 1.2v, therefore i decided to lap it and it come down to 25 degree idle.Quote:

Are you using the stock northbridge heatsink? My QuadGT seems to only like higher FSB (for a quadcore) with a very cool northbridge. I can get to 405fsb with a watercooled northbridge, and 380fsb with a Tt Extreme Spirit on the northbridge.Quote:

This is how I have mine setup.

I rarely have a bad mount after a bit of lapping. ;)
do i look like a noob? i dont think so, i already check the mount before lapping the cpu.Quote:

No retail yet. But they should appear soon. There some ES versions around that have been tested but who cares about them?
n00b question
major difference between x3210 and q6600 ?
X3210 = 8x Multi...
i know but someone told me different core?
Well since I cant see you I really don't know but with your attitude your sure acting like one.Quote:

Even the most experienced can get a bad mount from time to time, it doesn't make you a noob so get over it.
Actually I think this may have been the case. The heatpipe was getting almost scorching hot when I gave it around 1.45v. I think I'll stick a couple of 50mm fans on it cool it down, otherwise its time for some water.Quote:

Well on a lighter note, newegg has them now so I dont know if they just got a new shipment or finally listed it. Would be cool if they were all G0 though.
I ordered the 3220 from provantage so should have it in a couple of days and will post its results.

They are prob new shipment, but tax and shipping will kill the deal. Unless they guarantee it is G0 stepping, it definitely wroth it.

You know, since you guys are such pros and all im sure you wouldn't have missed that:rolleyes:
My X3210 was so concave the AS5 in the middle of the IHS didn't even touch the waterblock. But I discovered that pretty fast and lapped the thing.
Maybe i should have tested the surface with a razor blade first, but i did not. Now drop it because you have nothing better to say.Quote:

Sounds like my 4300, I lapped that because I couldnt get good temps on phase (lol), load would shoot up to like 10c or so. I remounted twice with the same results. I
lapped it and the four corners were copper and I could still read the writing in the middle. I put the thing back in and load temps were around -25c for the given oc I had it set at. It makes a huge difference. I havent scene a 10c temp drop since the 4300's but it is easily very possible to do.

so basically no difference between xeon and quad core and specifications other then multi ?
Is that 405 FSB with all the important voltages maxed out?Quote:
