Of the four retail Q6600 G0's i've had here, all showed those same marks, as picture above.

that has any kind of scratching on the IHS that
looks as if it might have been scratched by something
like a square heatsink or water-block?

I just noticed there are scratch marks on the IHS
of the CPU I have that looks like a square heatsink,
water block, or some kind of square metal thing has scraped the IHS.

I don't see any residue of grease on the IHS from
the inspection I've made so far through the package's
window, but I'll have to look at it in better light in the
morning.

The scratches are not that severe that I noticed them
at the store, though they're clearly visible in offset light.

The box looks like it's still sealed with the
'Intel Factory Sealed' tape in two places, and otherwise
I'd have no problem in believing it's new, but I am
worried that maybe it's a returned one they've
repackaged or something.

The last Q6600 I got from ClubIT looked totally perfect
on its IHS with no scratch marks that I recall seeing,
and I know Fry's is known for selling things that've been
returned / opened, but I thought they'd be labeled as
such if that was the case, and it wouldn't have the
Intel seal tape on it unless it was either fake or they had
some way of resealing the returns with supplies they
got from Intel to permit that.

Should I believe it's just quite a few scratch marks
from the Intel assembly line and keep it or exchange
it for one that looks 100% untouched like my other
one did?

Your post looks like poetry dude:D

Just received from www.directcanada.com ---> G0 L726A851. Looking good so far! I don't know how realistic those idle temps are though. I've got good water cooling but room temp is like 25c. :shrug: OC results to follow shortly.

EDIT: not even worth posting. It cant even match my QX6700 B3 3.5GHz 1.45v BIOS quad Prime stable. Nice low temps though! :rolleyes:

Very nice temps indeed.
I feel like DirectCanada had 10 G0 CPUs, because none of the reviews said "i got a b3".

Keep tweaking away man because these thing can do 3.6ghz @ under 1.4vcore.

Core #3 keeps erroring out a few minutes into 8k FFT. Tried up to 1.55 vcore which made it the longest but still got an error on #3. Also I messed around with all the relavent settings in BIOS with no joy. I'll try it out an a different board in a couple days.

Thank you Zebra for that excellent first post, and welcome to XS.

There are a lot of good deals for a Q6600 showing up everywhere. I.e., you can get a Q6600 for $266.95 shipped @ Buy.com right now.

It would be great if this thread would go back to which it was intended and people would just report where they bought their Q6600, and stepping they got.

Tank Guys, L720B066.

Finally got this Q6600 installed. Initial startup was 3.2Ghz, 8 X 400 at Auto vcore.
Now running at 3.6Ghz, 9 X 400 with 1.45 vcore. Also upped NB v to 1.45.
It runs SuperPi 32M just fine. OCCT passed and I plan on running Prime overnight.

Not a bad start. The thermal paste hasn't even spread out or set up yet.
Temps at idle are a little higher than my E6600, but load temps max out so far
at 60C.

Very satisfied that I waited for Tank Guys to come through!!!!

I just grabbed a L726A849 from TankGuys three days ago but have not fired it up yet, still waiting for ram and new case to arrive.

Any idea on when you might be able to fire this bad boy up? I would like to see the VID and some results before I make my purchase.

Its going to be a little while yet. I still need the case then I will be doing a total new system, this chip is getting a Thermochill PA 120.3 rad and Dtec fusion water block. I would certainly grab a go chip as they all seem to be clocking rather well and at around 300.00 its a great deal and rather future proof.:)

I have the same batch number as flesheatingvirus L726A849 that I got today from tankguys. Right now I am about 1 1/2 hours in running prime small ffts at 3.6 ghz. Voltage is 1.4125 in bios and 1.376 actual under load. Temps are 57c for first two cores and 55c on the other two. I'll post some screens after about 4 hours. Oh yeah and vid was 1.26 something.

The Egg's got'em

Just revceived my q6600 from newegg, Edison Warehouse.

Got the GO L726A854.:D

Any info on this batch??
09-05-2007, 04:16 PM
flesheatinvirus

Nice chip mnaz, Im sure it will go even further with some cooler air,your temps look good. I thought about the Ultra 120 as its certainly one of the best out there for air but ended up going with another water rig which takes longer to build but ultimately is worth the effort to me. Boatasiaus I have not seen that batch up on any boards yet though I would have to guess you are good to go,they all seem to be good lately. Get a solid board and you will be fine.
09-05-2007, 04:39 PM

The 120 has a 120x38 panaflo on it though. I can't remember how man cfm but its quite a few.
09-05-2007, 04:48 PM

They work great. I had one in here a little while back with a Silverstone 120 vari that absolutely cranked. They make excellent sinks and lapping only improves it.

i order from newegg.. it is still on its way here from the cali warehouse... most likely it will be a b3... bummer.. statistic shows that the most of the peeps getting from the new jersey warehouse are getting g0 and cali getting b3.

With multiple places available to get a guaranteed 'G0' why in gods name did you go through newegg?

I hope luck brings you a G0 anyway. :)

Tankguys latest batch is a GO SLACR 720B. You could always cancell New Egg and grab one.:cool:

i didnt research hard enough until i started reading these threads...

too late to cancel, its in transit right now... oh well, if i get a b3... it will be fine, i just want to overclock to 3.2 anyways... its still a a bargain.. under 300 for quadcore

You should be able to return the chip to newegg if the box is unopened.(you can see the batch code on the outside of the box as well as the see through window showing the markings on the surface of the chip) No one likes to wait tho so let's hope you get a G0.
09-05-2007, 06:51 PM
noroger

Don't be so pessimistic, I'm sure you have a chance of 50% to get a G0, and if you still get a B3, with nice cooling, you can achieve almost same overclock as a G0.
09-05-2007, 06:52 PM

would they charge me a restocking fee, if its unopen... if its not a g0 i would return it in a heartbeat.... i hope i get a g0 too

Got a new Q6600 from ClubIt today batch: L724B175 VID: 1.2625v OEM, not retail..

Here is a quick test of two hours prime stable & its lowest vcore set in bios 1.2625v.
Just wanted to see how far it would go & still be stable without moving the voltage.
I did bump the MCH one notch was all, everything else was at stock setting except ram.
Load shot note actual vcore is only 1.19v real volts under load.
I'll do more testing later on, letting it burn in some at 3.2.

batch: L724B175 is probably what you can expect if you order the OEM version ClubIt has for now.

I got L721 SL9UM (B3) from Newegg NJ yesterday.

So far 3.24 Ghz @ 1.31v loaded prime stable. Droop is a killer, was .3 with E6420 and .6 with quad. Double the cores, double the droop. EDIT: it's priming 3.3 @ 1.31v loaded now.

Running some benches, Dirt is smoother with quad gained about 10 FPS avg @ 1280x1024 4xAA (my 19" GX2 90 max is 1280x1024). MOHA never drops below 100 fps, RS Vegas never below 100 fps with aa though. Gained 1700 points in 3dmark 06 CPU score from 3300 @ 3.7Ghz E6420 to 5000 with 3.2 Quad.

So far gaming is smoother with a quad.

So far, it has been great, BUT my motherboard (BadAxe2) (AGAIN) has prevented me from overclocking it to it's full potential. @ default voltage, it is ROCK stable @ 3.15 ghz (my old CPU, an E6600 needed much more voltage to be stable at that speed and was my max too on it, so it must be my boards limit), so it looks like that I will need a different board if I want to push this one any higher.

q6600 batch

Guess I wasn't lucky...

L723A vid= 1,2875

3,24Ghz (463x7) Prime95 Stable vcore=1,325 bios

3,40Ghz (425x8) Prime95 Stable vcore=1,4 bios

3,52Ghz (440x8) Prime95 Stable vcore=1,45 bios

3,60GHz (450x8) Prime95 fails in a minute, upped up to 1,5 and still failing :(

Well i just expecting to this batch to do as the other that can hit 3,6 at 1,4, but as i said guess i wasn't lucky at all

Is there any way to have the VID before buying, any code or something ? or is it just luck ? I've seen some nice OC on this batch...

Regards

does the vid really mean something? i've seen many with same vids do different things and different vids do the same things. mine is 1.2750 and i'm getting a stable 3.825 with 1.46. can't seem to hit anything higher but i think it's because of the MB.
