Absoutly Powerful!!Conroe E6700 stepping5@4.109g by air cooling !!

[freecableguy]

Hehehe....stepping 5 is taking off.

The chip I have is only FSB limited. I think I could get to 4.6-4.8Ghz AT LEAST with my single stage cooling if the MCH could run that high. Since 440 is about as high as the FSB can go stable with stock voltage maxed out, that's as high as the CPU will go with the 10x multi.

4GHz on air with the Conroe will continue to be the norm....we are going to see some great overclocks when these appear.

step 5 = retail?

[Direwolf]

Cant wait to get one of these beauties!

[Tonucci]

WHere does it max with stock vcore pls ?

[Ekren]

Give it som ln2!

[Andrewv]

nice step

[Dumo]

let me rephrase that, extreme cooling/DI/ln2/Phase. Most of the overclocks are on air that i see. Wondering why not many others are thats all, want to see how far these babys can go

For me is....so much fun to push QPGA stepping 5 with air.

Nice chip there coolaler

[adr]

very nice step and great overclock

step 5 = retail?

perhaps,Intel doesn't have the time for a new step, B1 is going to be retailed

[dogsx2]

Great job

You have really made XS a better forum. Thanks

Chips like 6600 and 6700 (not even mentioning lower-end ones) might be getting FSB-limited even on air on current boards.

[theteamaqua]

did someone said B1 stepping?? but it can be rev B1, stepping 4 .. then its not as good as rev B1 stepping 5. anyway is retail, B1 stepping 5?? or B0 stepping 5?? or something else??

[freecableguy]

A1 = step 1 (shows as "A4" on the IHS next to the ES)
B0 = step 4 (some of these, E6400, E6600 also sometimes show as "A4" on the IHS)
B1 = step 5 (may be retail version, early version of CPU-Z 1.34.2 show this as "C1" which has been changed)
B2 = step 6 (speculated to poss. exist as retail)

Notes:
step 2 - 3 were internal only
"A4" on the core has nothing to do with actual core stepping

[Marioace]

those steps5 are very ocers.

want to put my hands over one of them.

[Onepagebook]

Disabling 1 core would gain another 80Mhz

But If I remember right, MSI bios didn't have this option yet.

dsable core doesn't need to use bios to do so

dsable core doesn't need to use bios to do so

Please enlighten us.

There should be a law against sub 15s on air Superpi runs

Congrats Coolaler

Geez. This chip is just on it's knees for LN2!

How many boards have you tested this chip on, cooaler? Is the MSI a better board than the P5W DH or Infinity?

[MnM]

Outstanding work again.
That Revision 6 rumor is interesting. Has anyone actually seen Rev6?

A1 = step 1 (shows as "A4" on the IHS next to the ES)
B0 = step 4 (some of these, E6400, E6600 also sometimes show as "A4" on the IHS)

Interesting indeed so Step 5 = B1

[Ailleur]

Has there been a step5 chip that has not hit 4ghz on air yet?

[gazzoom]

very impressive Coolaler, must hunt me down one of those MSI V2.1 MOB

[IvanAndreevich]

Does it do dual prime @ 4.0 GHz easy?

[johnsally]

Chips like 6600 and 6700 (not even mentioning lower-end ones) might be getting FSB-limited even on air on current boards.

ahh i didnt think of that.

[Danger30Q]

I just also received a Stepping 5 E6700 and I'm hoping for 4ghz on air with a Zalman 9500. I will post results within the next few days. I sure hope these Stepping 5's are similar if not the same as the initial retail release.

[iguanodon]

Congratulations

Any ETA on this board ? Look great..
