QX6700 G0 Stepping - QXUZ L712A

[The Nemesis]

I just hope this isn't gonna be a repeat of last year & Core2 Duo's. All the early engineering samples were hitting 4Ghz+ on air for benching & 3.8ghz Prime/Orthos stable easily. Most retail chips struggled to hit 3.6Ghz Prime/Orthos stable when first released, and unitl the "B" batches 4Ghz on air was near impossible. All these Quad G0 results we're seeing are engineering samples. Any retail results turn up yet? Quad core though, not dual. My B3 Q6600 does 3.3Ghz Prime orthos stable @1.36v load. It's 3DMark 06, OCCT, & 32Mb Pi stable @ 3.6Ghz same voltage, but not Prime/Orthos. Any further increase in voltage & it jumps to over 70'C @ load due to air cooling. I will try water soon, but I'm sure I can get 3.6Ghz Prime orthos stable. I'll get a G0 stepping as soon as they're available. I just hope I won't be dissapointed like I was with my first two E6600's.
