Are new G0 chips really too good OCers? - No!

[LogAn'sRun]

Usch. Now my head hurts.
All this talk of chips is like watching the tide, somedays it pulls in, somedays it pulls out. I don't get it, a week ago everyone is raving about the 'miracle' 6x50 chips and how great GO stepping will be, and now it's like 'no they suck'. Opinions change daily here, and it's impossible to base decisions on a few samples. Methinks it's prolly safer to wait d-day+7 until we have a much bigger sample size. And then see where the opinion shifts. I mean, we're waiting until the 22nd, what's another week on top of that? Or should we just hop onto the Q-train as c2d's is becoming a dying animal?

After reading countless thread regarding E6850 vs Q6600 G0s, I think I'll still go for a G0 Quad 6600 for various reasons. Since I already have a golden E6700 as a C2D, my money towards the next CPU investment is going to be a quad Q6600

Sooner or later multi-threaded application will be more significant then just pure mhz OC on C2Ds.

[NightRaven]

somehow i seem to find that only the ES chips did really well...

intel hype maybe?

a good point and i agree with that

not, the e6850s are good that's for sure

Intel are binning now, you want the high clocks get the cpu with the higher multi.

Im kinda pleased as it will calm this "will it do 600fsb" we have been seeing which does nothing more than slow the chipset to hit the clocks.

You get what you pay for...6850's are not that expensive after all

[MikalCarbine]

from where?

Priceguidenetwork, I have never heard of them until they were linked to in the E6850 thread under Online Deals, they have good customer support, I emailed them a few questions and they replied fast, their ballistix are cheap too

I hope with the IP35 Pro I can get a decent clock, I should have it in this Friday and I'll post some results

E6850 showed up today from Allstar.
Prod Code:BX80557E6850SLA9U
FOP/BATCH:L718A190
Pack Date 6/27/07

Mobo should be here in a hour or two.Do not think my DFI ICFX 3200 T2R/G will support it.Then ill put it under water.

[palese]

E6850 is a great chip and at a great price.

[ziddey]

just got my 6750 l719a. hope it's ok

So is this the same for quads? Will buying a Q6600 G0 not be a`good idea? Should we go for the Q6700 instead.

Just bought the last one in stock of the e6850 @ Priceguidenetwork

Now I need to buy my mobo for it. These are my top 3 mobo so far. Please help pick which one? Plan on just 1 8800GTX on water for now will add 2nd card in couple of months.
Thx

Asus Striker Extreme
Asus P5K Deluxe WiFi
eVGA 122-CK-NF68-A1

[MikalCarbine]

From those 3 I'd get the P5K.

waiting to see what happens...just ordered the same cpu from the same place as well...glad to see that you got your cpu...

Just received my E6750 L719A from PGN.

Threw it in my DFI P965-S. Old setup was 8x450=3600 1.5v. Wouldn't post at these settings, and after numerous up and down cycles, it went down to 8x266=2133 with 1.35v.

Able to get 8x400=3200 with 1.36v actual, but it pretty much ends there.

8x420=3360 with even 1.5v actual results in instant lockup. Tried ramming a dildo up vtt and vmch's ass to no avail.

Also, the coretemp readout is absolute bull. At idle, I see around 12'c in coretemp. At load, coretemp is around 30'c with 1.36v.

That said, the dfi cpu readout used to be pretty much identical to coretemp with my other c2d (e6400), so if that's still accurate, then temp's are around 41'c under load, which is the same as what I got with the e6400 and 1.36v.

Sorry dude...Oh boy...I hope my e6850 from pgn isn't a dud too...will find out in a coupla days...

... or you are lucky and get a Retail E6750 like this:

Right now primeing away on Air @ 1,312V and 3,7GHz

Pete, if that is you're E6750, do tell me where and when you bought it

I want to see results from people who bought from PGN

I am very dissapointed now with "this new magic G0 cpus" ... i have TWO pretty new Retail E6750 chips and E6650 chips. First E6750 is Orthos stable only at 3400MHz at 1.55V real ..., second is very similar ... 3400MHz at 1.53V - this is very poor score.

Both E6650 are tragedy, max Orthos stable 3300MHz at ANY voltage ... Dont buy this ...

I tested it on EVGA and Striker mobo, with High End watercooling (two pumps, two rads, Apogee GTX) ...

BUT my ES E6850 is pretty Orthos stable at 4GHz ... it is great cpu. Tommorow i will get retail E6850 and i will see ... i believe E6850 will go to 4GHz, but cheapest models are very bad ...

Have you tested the e6850 on the eVGA board yet?

Same chip I have. I got mine yesterday and installed it and it would not boot on the same settings I was running my E6600 at 425X9 1.55 4-4-4-12. I had to reset cmos and ended up havening to give the mch +25 and fsb +.10. I ran Occt at 4Ghz 1.55volts 445X9 with no problem. Trying to run orthos now it kept failing I had to raise the vcore two increments and its been running about 10 minutes. Ran a suicide at 1.65 volts 4401

[StealthyFish]

Damn....Busted Offers still on the table

chip is damn good though. overclocks nicely

How is it every time that the better "B" chips go to Europe and Asia and we get the lesser "A" chips here in the USA? This is the e6600 story all over again...
