L627 E6600 isnt nessercarily good :(

[M.Beier]

Today, I was all exicited about my new L627A101 CPU, according to what others have told me, man this CPU should be the beeest!

Sad thing is, it sucks so xtremely bad... - Itll do 3400mhz with 1.675v!! :|
- My week 23 does 3600 at 1.575v..

Watercooled results :\

Gonna put my mach II on tomorrow, its 10PM and I started university today, so not a good idea to do some late night testing...
Anyhow, considering sending that CPU back to the store tomorrow

That really sucks... My L627 will do 3600 all day @ 1.45... Think I would return it...

[Frackal]

My L626 does 3600 at 1.45 too

And you didn't read the thread title.....

[thunderstruck!]

How is 628 clocking? I guess 627 is hit or mis.

[syne_24]

yea looks like everything is still luck of the draw..

[ca1n]

my week 25 does 3.6 @ 1.5v

[Supertim0r]

sorry but if the cpu work @ stock, why returning it ? its a bad clocker, resell the cpu and try an other

[Frackal]

And you didn't read the thread title.....

What do you mean? I was merely mentioning that my week 26 does the same as your week 27

No problem, clearly my fault as it's damn near impossible here to keep a thread on topic...

Cause "Købeloven", which is a law about purchasing items.. - Gives one 14 days full right to return an item, if its an item you didnt physicly buy.. (over the web / telephone that works.. )
But its kinda' bad style.. But thing is.. I've just paid 2K$ for my apartment, and another 500$ on kitchen items.. - So Im running low on cash

[BulldogPO]

Whoo hoo.
My E6300 arrived today, I´ll try it tomorrow.
It is L627A263

[JoeBar]

Not a conroe though...

[Shark-357]

Well i recieved the same cold shower after i got my L627A090 and realized it cant even do 3800mhz spi 1m @1.65V
So yeah not all week 27 are good...

[yury2808]

M.Beier: "Itll do 3400mhz" omg omg... only 1 GIGAHERZ over the default will you sue the Intel about it ?

on a serious note: I have 6300 which runs only 3 Ghz on _reasonable_ thermal prifile (imho) for me. I would call it GREAT, will ya ? im not talking about LN and stuff like this, but since Celeron 300A@500 it is damn best CPU I _ever_ had

[kiwi]

Ouch And now I dunno if I should get one or not

[thunderstruck!]

I'll hunt for an L628 instead or maybe wait for better week to come.

[freecableguy]

guys....you're placing entirely too much emphasis on the week. overclocking has a lot to do with getting the right chip. some are winners, some are average, others are not going to get much more than stock. there's no formula to it....week 23, week 26, week 27....they're all the same. what we've seen here on XS is not nearly enough to even start claiming that we have even the minimum number of results to start making statistical observations. just buy your chip and see what it does. if you're not satisfied there's always eBay...

this thread makes me feel better If I didn't get week 27

Agreed.

They complain too much instead of putting efforts to get a good overclock.

Mine is week 24 and I get 4.0 with maximum cpu vcore but it is not stable.

If my CPU was crappy I would be happy with 3.2 stable.

[Dumo]

Get a good psu and try it again.
6800ES B1 or retail B2 both will go 5Ghz with LN2 and the right componenets.
There not much different in weeks or steppings.

I thought this is clear as well already =), luck of the draw ...kunaak, I remember, on one of his post even said about the colors of the CPU, etc. etc. I even mentioned that to claim something is good (or bad), a reliable data whose sample size is "justified", must be used and not just a random sample seen on a few sites.

[The Nemesis]

I've probably tried, bought & tested more retail cpus than most memebers here, and my experience using the exact same equipment is the cpus are clocking better as the weeks progress. My latest cpu which is week 28 allowed me to boot into windows at speeds the week 27 wouldn't even post. This allowed me to realize I need to run divider over 400 Mhz FSB to get stable. Something to do with the 1066 boot strap I guess. I'm going to play with this week 28 overnight and switch back to the week 27 and try clocking without 1:1 on the memory.

[crspyjohn]

I got a week 27 as well and it isn't that great. Requires to much voltage.

[lopri]

I agree with some of the more experienced users' opinion. Some folks tend to generate a "trend" or "sensation" too eagerly as if it were some great discovery. As far as I can see, Intel seems to be quite adapt at binning and only your luck/skill/components are most important factors when it comes to C2D OC'ing. It doesn't mean there will not be any OC'ing phenomina related to steppings in the future, but with Conroe being out only a few weeks, getting too worked up by the production week of your processor isn't terribly wise.
