My Core 2 Duo X6800 RETAIL has arrived in my hands!!

What's the stepping mate? Is it B-2 like we thought it would be? :D

Why couldn't the E6600 be the first to ship :(

Mad I havn't seen so much WOOD in one place since my last trip to a lumberyard!:D
Congrats to all you guys that got yours..Best of luck with them!:toast:

CPU-z ....let's do this!

Not sure.... but I GUARENTEE you that you won't see the bigger distributors doing things like this. Oh well...

To the OP... grats on the purchase. it's a great chip... Enjoy it. Come on now... pics of the IHS please. :D

Since no one has asked the million dollar question yet, I'll do so. Do you know exactly when these stores will really be cleared for sales? Does that July 13/14 rumor hold any water? Or are you not at libety to say? :p:

For those asking for a screen shot of cpu-z, I would love to be able to comply, but I don't have all the components I need to do this yet, as my conroe computer is still unassembled. I may be able to rig something up later this evening in order to find out if this is indeed a b-2 stepping.

That just destroy the rumor of C2D being delayed because of late change to B-2 Stepping..

Gotta love those web site..

please do..

Hope my e6600 comes soon but something tells me ocuk won't be so kind as to do that =/

Cpuid Image!!!

Thanks FLG_Poncho and redpreist for the information. Saves me alot of work later;)

Wow! There we go, living proof of the B2 stepping!! :D

By the way, is that 61 degrees a wrong reading or is that temp to be expected? Thanks

Its a B-2 but stepping 6 :D

It was running 61C-67C under load - what you're seeing there is just the beginning part of my Prime95 warm up - it was running 44C idle. BTW, I'm using the Intel stock HSF that comes with the 2.93 Ghz conroe. I double checked to ensure I was getting good contact - I haven't lapped the HS or anything. I'm using Arctic Alumina ceramic for heat sink paste.

The HSF is pretty small compared to what I was using with the Presler (I didn't bother trying to OC the 3.0 ghz presler though).

I have a Prometia Mach 2 GT that I am going to be using in the near future to put this thing under -60C.

Now let's see if I can OC this bad boy!

I ordered my x6800 from Monstronix on sunday night. They were very helpful. The price wasnt terrible, plus no tax. I got the tracking number a few hrs ago and it looks like its on the way! This time tommorow I will be popping this baby into my p5wdh! Cant Wait! :eek:

That's my experience. It's 21C in my house. I left the machine off all day, come home and before I can get into the bios screen, my bad axe is reading 54C. Seems a little high. :)
