Mine just arrived at the door from Newegg.
E6600
Received Batch: L64G413
Pack Date: 3/13/07
Along with it was a 2gb dual channel G.Skill kit and an Asus P5N32-E SLI 680i motherboard.
I can't wait to get this up and running! But it's going to have to wait till this evening most likely.
Please post your results. I'm want to know how the latest Newegg chips are doing.
I just got back from Fry's and I picked up an E6600 (got them to price match Micro Center's $236) and I got a L701C326. Never heard of a C so I thought I would get it and tell you guys how it is.
See sig, below, runs rock stable!
Looks like my E6600 L701C is great! I just popped it in with my old E6600 L632A settings and it booted up and is 1 hour prime stable. I am going to turn down the voltage and test a little more.
What were the old settings? NVM you edited :banana:Quote:

Oh and BTW, the IHS on the L701C is the flattest I have ever seen. Absolutely flat and makes great contact.
Wow, you got a better one from Fry's than I did. Mine is pretty bad, it did 5 hours of Orthos at 3.36 and then rebooted. Sigh.

Good thing is that you got a good chip.:D
Yeah, I may have actually had a little something to do with it. I raised hell in the store for the price match then the store manager had to call corporate or something because it was more than 30% reduction and that was at 6:40pm. When corporate saw that Microcenter was beating them badly with price the store manager was told to give me the match then make sure their price was the best on the E6600. The whole process took 2.5 hours in store, ugh. It could have been a coincidence though. Anyway, $36 is not a bid deal to me.

It was posted 7pm Eastern time on fatwallet. Anyways, I don't really care what did it, I am just glad everyone can enjoy the E6600 for a low price. My L701C is priming away (30 minutes now) at 1.42V and hasnt crashed yet. These C chips might be the next B.Quote:

E6600 L628F028 (1/23/2007)
3.6Ghz (400x9) @ stock (AW9D-Max, 1.3250v)
4.096Ghz (455x9) @ 1.6250
Cooling: Thermaltake Bigwater 745 (mounted inside CM Stacker T01)
Temps: stock (3.6Ghz) idle = 18~19c
4.096Ghz idle=24~28
ohh man, my L630A sucks! 3500 @ 1.50v :(:(:(:(Quote:

I just got mine from newegg. I ordered it this past weekend, the "pack date" on the box is 2/19/07 and the batch # is L629F117
Any good?
I received the same version yesterday from ZZF. I haven't had a chance to install it because I had to RMA my Corsair XMS memory. If you could post your results, I'd appreciate it.Quote:

(see sig)
This L707 is from Fry's, pack date 4/17/07.
Well, it seems to be happily burning away at Orthos Small FFTs after 22.5 hours without complaint, 415x8=3320. Voltage sure needs to be high for it to be stable, though. Anything less than 1.5V in BIOS causes Orthos to fail after a few hours or random reboots. This L707 is not a good clocker.
I've booted into Windows at 3.51 and run a Super PI 32M but Orthos fails after just 6 seconds. At 3.40, Orthos works for about 3 minutes and then fails, even after I push the Vcore all the way to 1.525V in BIOS. I really am at a loss what to do. All the mobo voltage settings are maxed, memory at 5-5-5-15-4-30-10-10-10-10 and this memory is more than qualified to do the job.
If I drop multi to 7 instead of 8 and try to boot with 475x7=3320 it won't even POST. This is probably because my NBCC at that multi is (9/7)x475=611mhz. Even with NB Vcore maxed at 1.65V it will not POST. This makes me sad.
Perhaps someone could make a suggestion as to what I could do better to get better OC?
Just got mine, ZZF L651B708, E6700
waiting on the rest,
After reading this thread I guess I'll hold of buying another E6600. I was gonna grab one with the recent price drops.

I put the rig together this afternoon and am going to play around with the overclocking potential with the stock cooler. My Thermalright Ultra 120 eXtreme arrives Friday so i can't go too high i'm sure.Quote:
