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

[mcflurry4321]

I've got a e6550 that's running 100% stable at 3640 at 1.4 volts. I'm happy with it. I have full confidence in the G0 chips.

Just ordered a E6750 today with an IP35 and Ballistix 8500, I'm hoping for at least in the 3.6-3.8 range

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

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

From those 3 I'd get the P5K.

there is any way to check G0 steping in the CPU BOX (BATCH or FPO) or we can only check with CPU-Z???

SLAxx = G0 as far as i know...

over the last couple of days i've been playing with a e6550 on asus p5k and wondering whether to switch to this new "G0" steping from my trusty nine month old e6600 [9 x 400 on asus p5w]

when i saw the 7 multiplier I immediately thought of the e6300/6350.

it seemed to make sense seeing as the cpu sells for around the same price as them both.

the 6550 initially ran prime for a long time at 3.7ghz but later crashed and eventually i settled at 3.6ghz as the stable best "quickie overclock" result I could get.

i was considering two upgrades, A] the p5k [from p5w] and B] the 6550 from 6600.

naturally i LOVE the p5k but will probably pass on G0 stepping versus my antique e6600 because I still have hopes of hitting 4ghz on this fabulous new motherboard with my old processor, at least until the quads drop in price, whoot!!

I Have that exact same chip ( E6550) running on a p5n32-E SLi with 2gb cp-8000 gskil ddr2 .. can you tell me your exact settings please ... cpu core voltage , pci-e voltage etc

What would be the best OC CPU to get for my new system with an Asus Blitz Formula P35 mainboard, an E6600 or E6850? They cost pretty much the same here in Sweden and as someone said we got the "B" ones in Europe maybe I should go for an E6850 and in case I get an "A" I could just send it back and order an E6600?

[RPGWiZaRD]

For same price just get the E6850. Even "A" has reached quite good results, it's just E6750 and E6550 ones with "A" batch that seems to be poor OCers.
