Check eBay for g0s, there are a few of them on there.

Not sure why you are advertising. Many people can get it from teh same place u got it from. At least people in the know. Normal consumers will simply buy it from Newegg or any other online store for cheaper than what you would be selling it for. In order to make money, you have sell something that is scarce like when the Asus A8N-SLI first came out and it was nowhere to be found except on ebay. The fact that you can get 24 of these chips easily means other people can too.

What Ace-a-Rue said ... it's obnoxious to come on the forum posting about your 24 q6600s when a lot of guys here just want one, and can't get it because you (nosomo) hogged up so many spots in line.

anyone know of anywhere else to get these other than clubit? got a very hot chip last time from them and I hear they are shipping all of the same steppings. Would be nice to get another g0 stepping.

First, Tankguys provide a service based on a wide knowledge of what they are carrying...and with that follows that they together with other shops providing support for the market niche to thrive.
You on the other hand do nothing else than leech on their efforts and steal their profits with the only result that eventually the customers will have a smaller base of resellers to buy from and subsequently higher prices.

I'm pushing 43, have been involved in many types of businesses over the years, within the range of employed engineer to running factories is asia.
One of my absolute criteria over the years on whom to make business with has been that the person or business must have a base of knowledge and intent on providing service to customer...that means staying in business, no matter what level they are aiming their efforts too.

You are nothing but a leech on others efforts to build a working market, and allt that talk about "american way" of making business simply make me sick....there is NO market where this kind of "business" is welcome.

I would like to thank guys like NoSoMo ... bought mine from Ebay , paid more I know , don´t want to wait months to put my hands on this cpu. It´s impossible to buy from the american stores , they do not sell internationaly.
Tried compumusic.com (they do international sales and have a excelent service , bought 3 times from them) but they only have B3s.

But we're so bad.... I really don't care about others opinions. I paid more for my e6600 when it came out and I didn't complain. You want to play, you've got to pay. I provide the best of customer service to my customers, hands down. I don't sell false hopes or promises, I only provide.

I am setup to do the same business as tankguys. In fact I do, just in a different genre of business.

Sure, there is a premium for buying from me, but you know what you're getting. Bah, old American...sounds like whiny factory worker whose job went over seas. It's not my fault for someone didn't diversify their skill set. Whose fault is that... THEIRS! Don't put all your eggs in one basket and you won't end up with your final check and a "good luck".

Anyone of you could have done the same thing. :down: to the haters.

ClubIT gets nearly daily shipments. Stop complaining and start buying.

I had such a high demand that I sold my own and now I don't have one. I'm sure cbit will get more, and I'll just buy them up.

I agree with these gentlemen. I am not at all impressed with your lack of manners NoSoMo. It is ill-mannered to brag of one's chip largesse in the company of those who are looking for a singular chip. This is not about you garnering many chips to generate income. This is about your singular bragging of having these chips.

This is Xtreme Systems.com. :up: Not XtremeUncouthGloaters.com :down:

That's around the block. :rofl: Of course you don't care! If you did, you never would have said what you did. Only uncouth ill-mannered people are uncouth and ill-mannered, thus your statement regarding your lack of care/concern is superfluous. It is already understood that this is the case.

I didn't come here to brag or otherwise, you're ill informed if that's how you take it. I was simply stating quantities so those out there ordering will know the reliability of whom they're ordering from. I've ordered a lot from clubIT and received very prompt and courteous service from them, that's just stating a fact. I could have spun it into some gloating comment and try to brag about it, but I could give a rat’s arse about trying to impress someone on a forum. You guys seem to be doing that enough already! :rofl:

You don’t have to like how I do business, but you can also just keep your opinions to yourself. This thread is about where you got your G0 from and the batch numbers etc.

I GOT 18 from ClubIT.com, all of which have been L723A (for those who still remember what this thread is about)

so i guess the general idea is Low vid may yield a higher OC, at a cost for oven like temps.

I would say Lower vid = higher overclock around stock voltages but higher temps near the headroom range. :(

In your posts you have twice put down a business that is doing the same thing that you are attempting to do here on this forum.

If you do not see the conflict as well as your bragging, then you are clearly thick as a brick. I do not believe you are so thick so you are clearly aware of what you are doing.

You are a newcomer to this site and your beginning attempt to use this site as a springboard platform is distasteful at best and vomitous at worst.

Others can see what you are doing no matter how much you protest otherwise. :down:

I've said my piece at any rate.

Man, you're as crooked as a garden hose on a reel! Let me clarify your wayward and most counterfactual opinion. I spoke truthfully of the horrible service I received from a business. I didn’t ask for your opinion on the matter. I simply stated that I received poor service from Tankguys. I really don’t care what you have to say on the matter.

I’m a long time lurker to this forum, and regardless of when I actually registered or posted, I have already contributed to the owner of this site financially as I appreciate his hard work and the value of such a community. Its individuals such as you that diminish the quality of forums like these, and for the greater good, you should just refrain from posting.

I didn’t ask for your opinion, and that’s most simply put. I don’t care what you think; likewise, further posts from you will be disregarded as nothing more than raunch flatulence—a fart in the wind so to speak. Do us a favor on your next thought, step out the door, and let her rip, but please take your stench somewhere else.

Now this is what i DIDN'T want to see. Mine is due to arrive from Tankguy's tomorrow. My order was shipped from the initial shipment last week. Hoping it's an 'A' step of some sort. Haven't seen many people report what they received from tankguys yet.

You guys need to lighten up a bit. I simply asked if NoSoMo was a reseller. Didn't mean for it to start an argument. I am a firm believer in Karma. If the guy wants to sell some chips at an inflated price LET HIM. You have the option of not doing business with him. I suggest you exercise that option and leave it at that.

Good to know. I just picked up a L724A639 G0 from NCIX in Vancouver. They have 4 more of these left as I hand picked mine...hurry up as I was told that shipments of more Q6600 are delayed so stock will dry up fast!

PS - Also picked up the new Thermalright IFX-14 heatsink. This thing is a monster!! Just waiting from my Blitz Formula to arrive...

got a question for everyone...what is the consensus with the "G0"-Q6600 when it comes to VID and overclocking?...is it the lower the VID the better the overclock will be?..or...does it not really matter?

Well it does 3.6ghz(450x8) at 1.39v actual voltage so far on aircooling. VID is 1.3000v. I noticed the the heatspeader is flat unlike my B3 was concave and I am testing it out with F@H SMP client.

2 Q6600's from newegg's new jersey warehouse both B3's
08-14-2007, 04:29 PM
justin_c

!!!There are a few left at NCIX Vancouver!!!
just picked one up for 289, its a L724A639, VID 1.35V. i guess high VID is ok?
08-14-2007, 05:02 PM
[XC] 4X4N

Arrived today from TankGuys. L723A Pack Date 7/27/07 Vid is 1.2625. Priming right now at 3.3 with 1.29v.

My 2 cents about low vs high vid.

I don't think it matters much. I have an E6700 with a vid of 1.325 and it clocks great. I run it 24/7 at 3.7 and 1.45 vcore. Temps are in the mid 50's at load. I also have an E6400 with a vid of 1.300. It runs 24/7 at 3.4 with 1.48 vcore. Load temps are in the high 50's. One more, the E6600 in my sig. It has vid of 1.225. Runs 3.6 24/7 temps in the high 50's to low 60's.

I know that these are not quads, but I think it shows that the vid isn't that important.
08-14-2007, 05:10 PM

so it really depends on the chip itself and not the VID?

I'm not sure how you are contributing to this thread. Post some info on how they are clocking or something other then your buying many and selling them or actually not selling them. It is against the forum rules to sell outside of the fs section.

This isn't the OC thread, this is the lookout for G0. I've been posting my batches as I receive them. I'm NOT TRYING TO SELL ANYTHING HERE, besides, they fetch more overseas. I posted a pic of a bunch of empty boxes, and everyone starts to have a cow. They were empty, aka the CPUs were not in there, aka ONLY the heat sinks were in the box. I'm not sure how many more ways I can get the point across that those weren't processors.

I'll be contributing to the OC threads once my new case and PSU get here. I'm in the middle of a machine upgrade. It's been nice running through this many CPUs though, I've been able to hand pick my CPU. So far I've decided to keep a L721A814. Seems to be the best choice so far. I've got 2 more shipments inbound, and perhaps there might be a better choice in one of them.

Sorry I posted my batch without anything. Had to wait for the rest of the system to get here. I'm installing vista right now, and within the hour, you'll find out how good L721A814 G0's are.

Please be sure to include the details of the system. I'm running a P5N32-e, and I think I'll be FSB limited. I'd love to see 3.6Ghz on air w/ decent temps, but I'm going to water eventually.

Just received my G0; FPO/Batch=L721 ... ; ( I think I may have the first retail G0 stepping ever made; LoL!

I've been seeing a ton of L23s and L26's, but not too many L21s. I'm waiting on Lithpiperpilot's results. (I still have to get my mb ordered before I'll get to have any fun with my chip...)

Not sure how many people have mentioned this, but tankguys has shipped all of thier pre-ordered q6600 G0s TODAY!

I am not sure how many extras they will have. They are guaranteed to be G0 and I'm guessing they'll order more.

I'll post exactly what batch etc when I receive it. You can check the overclockers forum (link on tankguys site) for updates. They update many times a day....

I got my g0 on his way, with L726A951, any one got this batch or week? If so any results? I saw just 1 from Pedro rocha, 4.1ghz with 1.58vcore so far, but unfortunately i wont using such high volts for 24/7 on air, so more like I want to know how much volts they need for 3.6-3.8 range ( or higher with moderate volts).

Hello there,

Is that with or without the Ultra Extreme being lapped? Also has the CPU being lapped?

I don't blame you for being frustrated - trust me, I am just as annoyed, if not more so. We're doing the best we can though, and to be fair, we only promised to ship as quickly as possible, never a specific ship date. We had REALLY hoped to ship on Monday, until we got hit with the very unpleasant surprise of getting all B3's Friday night :mad:

Trust me, I don't want this to take any longer than it has to either ;)

This ship date posted is when it will actually ship, unless aliens come and beam up the FedEx truck before it gets to us :D I've secured quite a few chips from the one reliable supplier who has sent us chips in the past. I know for a fact they are G0, and I have tracking #'s from FedEx so I know they are on the way, to be delivered to us tomorrow. For what it's worth, I'm also throwing any and all profit on these out the window, and I paid to overnight every CPU that we got this week to our warehouse so we could ship out to you guys as quickly as possible. I know you are all sick of waiting :D

Honestly, do you know how the process works? Trying to specifically get G0 is probably very hard especially the fact that no one wants to sit in a warehouse trying to pick through processors.

IF you parents screwed you over for something, are you going to dispose them and get another set of parents?

Be reasonable bro. Atleast give some credit to tank for supplying G0s to enthusiasts.

Do you know what these guys have been through trying to get guaranteed 'G0' steppings? This is not a huge operation that these guys are running like clubIT or Newegg. They took a huge hit when they got all 'B3'. Cut em some slack.

Tankguys will certainly have my business again :)

They are a small company, providing a great service by working their asses off getting everyone a guaranteed G0.....have some respect and gratefulness for what they are doing.

The only thing that would be even better if they did what Tony's friends at gladiatorcomputers were doing, and pretesting stable clocks of the G0's :)

Keep up the good work Tankguys :up:

again, your option to order from them...still doesn't address their hiccups in providing the "G0's" they promised as of a specific date...maybe they shouldn't guarantee it at all....or...even say they have a specifc date to get them by.

when i promise something, i will keep that promise...if i have doubt that my promise could be in jeopardy of fulfilling then i will refrain from making it.

It's not a matter of sifting through the warehouse. I was shipped my G0s in the same way that they were shipped to the distributor, in a box from intel w/ a Qty of 5 in it.

I'm sure they come in even larger boxes of 6 or so of these boxes in it. Don't try to make it sound like these things are individually packaged and shipped. You get them in crates!

USPS tape is mine. The box is convenient for storing the empty boxes / sinks

Ok so since the "parental" scenario is extreme and unacceptable as brought up in an earlier post.

Say someone from XS buys something from you? say a G0 Q6600 and you sell it from the classified part of the forum. Ok so now you say your going to sell it at $250+shipping, no less, no more. As part of the shipping arrangements the buyer pays you lets say $300 for guaranteed 3 day shipping + insurance if it is damaged.

Send it out on August 1st lets say, its picked up by UPS and sent Guaranteed 3day shipping before 5pm. So that would put it at being delivered on the 3rd/4th depending on how fast it processes. All goes well but, ooops the package got lost in a hub and sent the completely wrong direction, now it becomes a week shipment time.

It arrives a week later when the person paid for 3day guaranteed, however it did turn out a G0.

Thats a shipping error, not the seller or buyers fault. Exact same thing that happened with Tankguys, however they only promised shipping times that you paid for from the date they received the chips they were informed were "G0's" only....but the shipment comes in most recently on Monday, turns out they are B3's this is not their fault ,it is their supplier. But if they were G0's you would bet money you will receive it in the timeframe of the shipping you paid for.

Simply does not make any sense to blame a reseller for a bad shipment from their provider.

Just my take on you guys being rabid about the whole G0 situation, Tankguys didnt even have to try anything at all, and could just have supplied B3s as they got them and turned over their profits. However they saw the market for them, and the demand from the enthusiast and catered to that at very competitive prices no less. Look at the money Newegg, ZipZoomFly, and other Etailers that did not list specific steppings made in people buying and getting a B3, either deciding to keep it and eat the $300, resell for $200-250, or simply bite the bullet RMA it and eat the 15% restocking fee.

Take it as you will, but you should all be grateful for the service being provided by Tankguys, and that they are busting their balls to get you guys these G0's that are the most sought out thing right now. :fact:

EDIT: and unless I am wrong, Tankguys never promised a specific date, only a timeframe. And I would say they have kept to that timeframe despite setbacks like being sent an entire shipment of B3's

I had an original preorder top 100 I think, and had to cancel because of setbacks in available cash vs credit. But I never once saw an exact date posted, or sent to my email, and I renewed my order with them, and still have never seen an exact date other than them saying the 2nd shipment of G0's should have been the Monday they got the B3's, and now August 17th orders will be processed and shipped. Please correct me if anything I have said is incorrect.

Use CoreTemp .94
Your temps are 15c lower, it has something to do with the 100c Tjunction.

Anyway, what are the chances of getting a G0 after the holidays? (Yes, I know something better will come out, but Ive always been behind) And, what are ther advantages of G0, just lower voltage/temp?

^^ Well said. I received my 'G0' from tankguys yesterday. I was one of the one's that stuck out my original order. According to the pre-order line i was 186th in line. Thank god a bunch of suckers bailed out and i got one of the G0's from the first shipment of 150. They even responded to an email i sent on a SUNDAY! That is unheard of from any company. Tankguy's pwn's and they will get more of my business in the future. No specific date's were ever promised. Only guesstimates of expected arrival and ship dates. To be honest even if i didn't get a G0 i would have accepted and understood getting a crap shipment that ended up being B3's. I may have been pissed about my luck (much like the folks at tankguy's probably were) but i certainly would not whine about it and blame the reseller for something that is out of their control.

From Ace: "i'm sick of TankGuys and their promises!..never again!"

Really? How many times did they not deliver on a promise for you? You make it sound like this is just one of many.

Yes I get money from Tankguys :rolleyes:, I guess anyone that makes logical discussion that includes the defense of a company against people making illogical statements with things that were never guaranteed in the first place must mean they are bankrolled to defend it. Must mean all the people that are fanboys of ATI and Nvidia, and Intel - AMD must be bankrolled to defend it with such conviction.

Not saying that all defenses must originate from a fanbase of a company, just simply that the defense I put up was because when it comes to G0's and getting them from companies and things going wrong people go ape:banana::banana::banana::banana: for no reason, unless they were expressly promised something by the Etailer, or person they spoke with regarding them, be it pricing, availability, or specific shipping dates as in on paper, in an email that you will have a G0 on your doorstep in 2days time guaranteed.

Just making a point for civility sake.

TankGuys,

Thank You for the hard work, got my Q6600 GO L723A825 today!

As far as I understood, there was no guarantee on shipping date. The only guarantee was a Q6600 GO! You got screwed over by your supplier and it goes down the food chain and yes you're in the middle to recieve all hell. Your mistake was to keep everyone up to date with the best case scenario before you got to see the inventory being sent to you and it bit you. Maybe it would have been best to let the anxious cancel their orders instead of having complaints like this.

they did this before with the conroe...that is how i know....i thought to give them another try.

you are DEAD WRONG about promising...but...i will acknowledge they are great communicators.

may i quote you the email that i received from TankGuys...AND...don't focus on the word "should"...they used "ship out later this week"...later this week ended on 10th of August!

Ok, so your order as of 8/7 was processed and paid for and the delivery company was notified of your purchase, and that you will have a package to be picked up and shipped to you, and you were probably given a tracking number just as I have been, and they are now awaiting the product to send you.

As of 8/10 their shipment came in, it was all B3's you were notified just the same as all the others. And the rest of the quoted text below speaks for itself on the status of all the current G0 orders with Tankguys.

Please correct Me if I am wrong, but where in your email did they specifically say your item has been packaged and shipped? I see only "Pre-Order Complete" at the end, which is really what matters. They had no G0's at the time of your order, thus why you did not receive your processor at the $40 overnight/1day timeframe.

And the use of should, is a generalization if my knowledge of the English language is correct. Like if I tell you something should be somewhere, it most likely is without a specific location. Should ship this week means its up in the air.

08/08/2007 Preparing for Shipment Scheduled shipment, tracking number 54999021XXXXXXX
08/10/2007 Back Order [PAID] Our shipment of Q6600�s arrived tonight, as planned. Despite our being told they were G0�s, all of them were B3�s. As such, we have been forced to delay shipping to customers until we can source more confirmed G0�s.

We have been working extremely hard to get these chips in as quickly as we can, and have done everything we can to keep you updated as changes happen.

Given this incredibly disappointing turn of events, we will refrain from posting any ETA until we have G0�s in hand, so we can absolutely confirm a ship date.

We are extremely sorry about this delay, and we will continue to work extremely hard to secure the G0�s, as promised.

We will likely be swamped with e-mails and questions, so please bear with us if we are slow to respond.
08/13/2007 Back Order [PAID] ETA Update 8/13-

We have been allocated enough G0 processors to cover all remaining orders. This is the same supplier who provided us the original 150, so this information is considered reliable.

We are working out the logistics of shipping those processors to us, and expect to start shipping on Wednesday, and to continue through Friday. Barring any more extreme circumstances, we should have all orders shipped by Friday.

We will be updating your order once it ships, and you are more than welcome to ask any questions in the meantime. Thank you again for having been so patient through all of this, we greatly appreciate the business!
