Pentium E6500K Cracks 6GHz Mark!

[***Deimos***]

I sense a lot of people here are waiting for E8700 or maybe E8700K (ie unlocked multiplier).

Combined with some *special* wafers with lots of TLC, it would certainly allow some interesting tests to see how high 45nm can go.

[Charles Wirth]

In Beijing we purchased a bunch of these

Batch - 921B

[dinos22]

yeah deanzos was the same
seth's too
i think seth said that there was another setting
i think 920A or something

[Hazzan]

purchased with Charles in Beijing...I will tested soon

[VictorWang]

here, E6500K 1m WR(not clk WR) , lol


and the max clk i've reached



this model available only in China, as a little weapon against AMD's 2cores break to 4cores, lol.
and the first batch (now on the market) box retail chip really sux , unlike the gem ES chip.
hope the next retail batch would be good for oc.

Very nice! Crazy Vcore when running PI, real or cpu-z's bug?

[eva2000]

Victor is first retail batch Q921B071 ?

real volt. i even tried 2.24v in bios, but that's too hot and cpu dont like it


to EVA,
Q912A408 (the only batch of ES, and seems less than 6pcs)
and strange thing is that .... coretemp = 15~20c higher when idle than load, haha.
but still coldbug at -100c


and air test:



1.37v 4.55G prime



1.5v 4.9G 3D06



1.5v 5G 1m

Yeah, Sampsa got the "A" as well to try.

[oanvoanc]

does anybody know a shop in shanghai, they sell e6500k?
any recommendations?

will be there soon, so if anybody have suggestions, where to buy, please let me know.

how about customs?
how many piece in the main luggage do you think is possible?

thanks

[VictorWang]

Shanghai, 徐家汇, 太平洋数码一期 217, Intel至尊地带, u can buy all intel chips there.
i think u can bring at least 5pcs @.@

[oanvoanc]

ok, thanks victor.

haha, at least 5

[tool_462]

Take em out of the box and stuff your pockets full of chips

I'm looking to get ahold of one of these in the USA if anyone knows a place that will ship here or has an extra to sell

Guys, by the previous experience, we know ES are usually selected to be overclockerd.
The retail version can't go that high.

that's BS. ES are not binned to be better OCers.
it's probably just a better batch
same thing as your retail batches...some are better than others thats all

it's been proved time and time again
eventually we will come across a retail batch which is far better than best ES chips

[tool_462]

I have had a large number of ES Intel chips, the vast majority proved to be sub-par clockers vs. retail chips actually.

[LagunaX]

For the initial Conroes the ES chips did overclock much better in general.

However, with the 45nm Wolfdales, the ES chips overclocked much worse (or not as well) than retail (in general).

not all man

only shortly after big ES wave and first retails we found the best Conroes

i had an E6700 that could bench 3D at 5.5GHz which was within the few weeks of first retails hehehehe in terms of batch# , i think loui from Canada had the same batch just as nice too

[LagunaX]

Oh yeah I remember all that e6600ES hype and then the retail USA chips were poor clockers and the better chips/superpis/prime95s/benches all went to Europe/Ausatralia/ and Asia - especially those "B" chips...

but i must say we did not get as lucky after that in new gen stuff

[dinos22]

nevermind the stepping mate
where are your results j/k

[Deanzo]

After killing my RE, just need to find a working 775 board LOL

Next weekend I should have something to show.

[dinos22]

seriously does anyone have a working REX on this forum haha ('cept me maybe ... but i used it like 3 times so far )

[Big Phil]

Not bad for the price. To bad that Intel wont unlock the E8000 series
