I know someone named Gautham who lives in Acton

That's not me. But I know him too, goes to your school.

What a small world. :S

..so who's got one to test?

[guess2098]

Is there somebody to sale me a G0 Stepping CPU ????


Best Regards

SPLMANN

XD

G0 step is 1500 per pot hehehe
btw my X2900XT DI show was using G0...4.7G DI easy XD

[Rattle]

where's the orthos blend runs from this chip?

Sweet July 27th is almost upon us! lol not really....

I don't want to wish my summer away, but can the end of July come fast enough? I'm just as excited now as I was for the C2D launch.

It be more exciting once I can get my hands on one. Having to deal with moving into a new apt, new semester of school, + the new comp is gonna be stressful

too bad there's no 4Ghz posts about it.

now this is GREAT news thanks for this

i am looking forward to Q6600 G0 steppings

[sofarfrome]

coolaler doesnt post here, someone else copied his post and photos thats why.

I think that was me...was there a problem with posting his results? I did not know.

[safan80]

Is that why coolaler stopped posting here? that's very sad he feels that way.

nah he was accused of cheating SuperPi which he never rectified here

[reflux]

At £115 that E6550 looks sweet! Nice to see some decent quality silicon in Intel's cheaper CPUs again.

[michaLcoughliN]

amazing clocks from E6550. and wow..

[WrecklessEric]

I didnt even test max fsb. All I can say is, the E6850 is a TOTALLY different animal.


Tomorrow I will be testing E4500 step M, we'll see what I can do on that.

Did you ever get around to testing the e4500? I am very interested to see how it would perform on a P35 board with that x11 multiplier.

[Fr3ak]

M-0 is not that great, they like voltage, but thats it.
My E4500ES did 2800MHz dual 32M with stock volts. 3250MHz with 1.45V. 3325MHz with 1.5V and 3700 1M with 1.7V set in bios. Not that bad, but not any better than L-2 Allendales.

Great clocks on the E6550 irev210! I did not know they were that great clockers. Otherwise I would have tried to get one :/

The low multiplier on the e6550 put me off but irev210 and others seem to be achieving pretty impressive bus speeds. So far, no one seems to be able to push the e4500 bus speed over 400 so its high multiplier doesn't do any good?

I'm looking to upgrade another older box that I have. I've been considering the P5K-E and looking for a cpu that will overclock by > 50% on air. (I figure I should be able to do better than what my P5W does.) What do you think?

[Fr3ak]

I don't know if all E4500 will be M-0, but as I said. That E4500ES is not really that great. I had a E4300 on air, which is 24/7 stable at 3320MHz with 1.37V.

The E4500 was high end watercooled and did not come close to that. Other people I know with E4500ES had very similar results. Thats why I do not think the E4500 will be any better than the E4400. Only if you are using a cheap board that can only do 266FSB max and does not allow voltage increasing. Then the higher multi helps you to get a better OC at stock VCore. Even if 400FSB is the max for Allendales. 400*10 is more than you would archieve using above ambient cooling.

[adamsleath]

this 6550 is a rare anomaly.
most will not achieve such high clocks at low volts.

[njkid32]

I'm playing with a similar one on a P5K DLX thats doing just fine

[dinos22]

some of the best core 2 Duo Step B chips are not ES.

i can vouch for that with one of the retail ones in my arsenal which is definitely better than any ES i tested.....and i haven't really seen any ES chips that are better

[shimmishim]

so the ES 6550's clock well but the retail ones don't... is that the consensus so far?

[`danny]

That is pretty amazing, Intel just keeps putting out better and better chips
