    when you get your CPUs from ZZF please let us know what the batch code is, L651B518 seems to be a nice one for OC

    L644Gs - to recap:

    Post #39 - by AMD-me purchased from Cost Central, shipped from ???.
    reported 3.1 @ 1.5V

    Post #41 - by VietOZ purchased from ???, shipped from ???.
    reported 3.2 @ 1.472V

    Post #50 - by sofarfrome purchased from Cost Central, shipped from Tenn.
    reported - 3.24 @ 1.475V

    Post #51 - by WannaGoFast purchased from Nerds.net, shipped from Tenn.
    reported - 3.2 @ 1.6V

    Post #52 - by babalouj purchased from shopblt, shipped from Tenn.
    no reported results

    It would seem that the L644G, shipped from Tenn is experiencing some growing pains.

    Yes, the L651B518 does look to be better at the moment.

    Well, maybe there's hope for the L644G.

    There may be at that...after running orthos blend at 3.2GHz/1.45vcore for 5 hours I shut the system down and ran some errands today. I came back home and just for the hell of it I booted into windows at 3.2GHz/1.475vcore and clockgened up to 3.3. All good running 32M pi. Ran orthos and system rebooted. Increased the vcore to 1.5 and FSB in bios to give 3.3GHz and orthos ran for an hour. Stopped and clockgend up to 3.4GHz/1.5vcore. Orthos blend rebooted within 10 minutes. Rebooted and set vcore to 1.55 and FSB to 426 (3.4GHz) and right now orthos is running along fine (1 hour so far). Maybe there is something to "burning a chip in" as yesterday and this morning this chip would not even boot into windows at 3.3GHz and 1.6vcore set in bios. The coretemps are reading 57/57C at 1.55vcore so again this chip seems to run cool compared to others I have used on this board. And FWIW this $52 open box board from newegg ROCKS. Doesn't have a lot of features but sure as hell OCs chips very well.

    PotGoblin what is the batch of the processor you got from ZZF?

    I wanna get an E6420 but at the same time the E6600 looks like a good deal too, still trying to decide...

    I already have an E6600 but it wont OC higher than 345mhz FSB... it will boot at 400mhz FSB but with 1.60v :S and not even stable, I hate my L628A.

    That's funny to me because I followed the link, saw the on-hand quantity, posted my sarcastic post...and never looked at the product description that showed it being an E6320. I clearly wasn't paying close attention, was I?

    By the way, along with a good price on the E6420, mwave has the E4300 for $117, which is the best price that I've seen for a retail box, even with the $7-$10 shipping tacked on.

    Now the big question is, of course, what stepping are they shipping.

    Do you people think an E6420 could be overclocked to 3.6Ghz if you get a good one???? (with a reasonable voltage of course)

    I would really like an E6420 that could do 450mhz (x8=3600mhz)

    I don't have my cpu from ZZF yet - i ordered it last night after I got home from work - should have it later this week.

    won't do me much good yet since I am buying my system in 3 stages, got the cpu, ram and psu last night, next week when I get paid again i will probably order another $500 in parts. I hope to have all my parts purchased with in the next 3-4 weeks.

    I'm contemplating buying a few of these, testing them, and then selling the ones that aren't the best OCer. But that sounds like a lot of work to test them all, lol.

    Maybe I can just drop voltages at stock speeds and see which one will run with the least volts and go from there (kind of like Xeon testing?)

    I just ordered two E6600's

    I haven't decided yet what I am going to do, either pick one if it clocks good with low voltage keep it and return the other unopened conroe or if it does not clock good ..or is Vcore hungry I will have to open the second one
