Read the receipt...it says no return on Processor with SKU# clearly indicated on it. That is if it's opened, whether the inside box is still sealed or not, once the outside seal is broken, your fate is sealed.

Uh, I don't have a motherboard for the Q6600 to test it yet, so I'm pretty stuck there... Plus, I already got a L804 batch, so I'm probably going to get an even NEWER one...
Are all the processors in a certain week ALL doomed with the same VID? If so then I'm pretty much screwed.
Is there some way I can check VID without a motherboard?

Yeap, I was at MicroCenter earlier and I also saw a really light blue Quad
Q6600 box over as well. Seems like Intel just recently changed to these light blue box. I also saw a few more faded/teal bluish box of the original color, so I'm sure MC has both in stock. I wasn't able to make out what the batch number was for the light blue Q6600. It was somewhat stuck in between a few other CPU boxes, so I couldn't read the batch info. It might be an '08 batch as well.

i went to microcenter today and told them my concerns, they let me look at their procs and i found one last l737b q6600. they let me exchange right away
this batch can hit 3.6ghz with like 1.3v according do the quad OC database

what are the last 3 numbers? it seems that the lower numbered ones were better. of course this is speculation through observation.
im probably going to get phase change and another processor... mabye a e8400 to run some superpi on then i will more than likely give it to my girlfriend

• Intel Q6600 L737B242 ~ VID 1.2125 ~ 4000mhZ @ 1.48 vcore {lapped}

quoting sno.lcn
"My L737B046 is pretty decent. Goes up to 4.2ghz on 1.4v, I've had it up to 4.6ghz on 1.55v (subzero cooling obviously)
Unfortunately I have no idea how it does as a daily driver I'll post back when I find out though "
will get my motherboard tommorow.. i will post back then

Wow, the last three digits on mine are 667... Can anyone verify more about the L803 and L804 batches instead of posting info about L737s?

@loonym
Where did your Q6600 get shipped from? The Newegg warehouse in the West or in the East? If in the East then I'm jumping on that right now... I'm not taking a chance with this one, since its a rumored crappy batch AND the last three digits are fairly high... (667)

That is if the processor is unopened. Once it's opened, like I said above, your fate is sealed...no exchange unless it dies on you. If it's still unopened, they will exchange it quickly without hesistation.i went to microcenter today and told them my concerns, they let me look at their procs and i found one last l737b q6600. they let me exchange right away
