Someone was asking about Q6700's a minute ago. I have a Q6700 with a VID of 1.2875, and the Batch # is L724A416.. an L724. Not bad. but not the beloved L737.. right.

This chip was decent for me, I was able to get 3.33 Ghz with Stock Voltage, but then needed a big increase to get over 3.4 Ghz. 3.5 Came easily, but to get Stable on 3.6 Ghz was hard as hell, took me weeks to get it there, learning all I could, messing down to the T on the GTLREF settings, all that. and finally I was able to get 3.6 Ghz stable with 1.46v and I was able to hit 3.7 Ghz with 1.48v on my Q6700. I never was able to actually load into 3.8 Ghz even at 1.495v.. I never went to 1.5 though.. lol. I ran it 24/7 at 3.66 Ghz 1.47v and temps were around 38-40c idle, and 58c Load on it. Pretty decent.

I actually just tonight traded my Q6700 1.2875 vid, Batch #L724A tonight.. for a Q6600, to a Dell owner that Can't BIOS OC, doing Pin Mods. He traded me his Q6600, 1.2125vid with a L737B730 batch that hit 3.6 Ghz with 1.432v on a ghetto Roswell cooler, +$50 Cash..

yea, so basically I gave him my Q6700, for his Q6600+$50 Cash.. I needed the cash, plus I still have a good Quad as my backup. I figured what the hell, might as well.

they are good chips, but i sure LOVE my Q9650.
