Lol

**buckshot** · 11-03-2006, 03:16 PM

I hope you guys aren't messing around. If I buy and don't get a B batch.

**Grinch** · 11-03-2006, 03:17 PM

I just said to hell with it and ordered 1 from the egg we shall see what happens...

**Krowbar** · 11-03-2006, 03:46 PM

My E6600 is booting into Windows at 430 x 9 and 1.18v on cpuz but at 435 FSB and higher, it just blue screens with a PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA. I tried changing the voltage from auto upto 1.4 volts and it still fails with the same error.

Any ideas what is holding me back? I was able to run 3DMark2001 at 500x6 so I know the board and memory can handle it. Have I reached the limit of my chip?

**LagunaX** · 11-04-2006, 12:25 PM

It sounds like you need more vcore (1.45-1.50-1.55) to get 3.7-3.8ghz.

**DAK1640** · 11-04-2006, 02:29 PM

Well it's been crunching WCG for days now...One crash (I think it ran out of memory) I was downloading windows updates, benching, running VM's and such. I bumped up the Vcore to 1.350V and no more crashes. I have multitasked this to death, stable, Orthos for hours, stable. Tomorrow I will go for 3.8Ghz. Sure hope I don't need more than 1.400V. Does anyone know what the 4-4-4-12 limit is for Corsair PC-6400 (C4)? I guess I should just loosen to 5-5-5-15 huh?

Just ordered one from newegg.

Let's hope I get a good chip. If not, I will blame the thread starter....

It is a great chip!

I can do 3.6ghz 24/7 with about 1.45-1.5V which is a hell of a lot better than my old E6600 Week 28A.

I just want to be able to reach 4ghz for the hell of it!

Maybe we should request "a reputation points" sytems here @ xtremesystems!

There's some guys that really deserve some sort of "credit" or reputation!

FCG, Coolaler, Andre Yang, Victor, OPB......

You dont have to get one from newegg. I just picked up a "B" E6600 from Fry's! (like 10 mins ago) Not too bad so far 1.35v @ 3.6, I think it's much better than any "A" I've tried (all 6 of them)

Hey man,
will your chip do dual orthos blend stable at 3.8ghz (of course you'll have to bump up the vcore)? If so, I'm there at the fountain valley, ca one first thing in the morning, lol!

Did you get tray or retail? Price?

**The Nemesis** · 11-04-2006, 10:02 PM

Once again let me remind everyone that the "B" stepping will be available in the states the first & second week of November

**Knight** · 11-04-2006, 10:55 PM

My question is what change did Intel make, so that most of the "B" are good performers? Please explain this to me if you want. If it is not a new revision than what is it?

Good results to all of you.

HOW DO YOU KNOW THAT?

**syne_24** · 11-04-2006, 11:06 PM

Well I'm not sure what they did exactly but one thing is certain, much lower vcore is needed. I know that luck of the draw still plays but I have to say it's much better than the "A" batch I''ve tried. Now the only other dissapointment is the IHS, it's still pretty crappy. My vcore is lower than my other L624 yet the temps doesnt reflect it as much. I'm going to have to pick up another one tommorow to compare with this one. I have a feeling the IHS on this one aint that great.

I got a retail. It's blending 3.8 but needed 1.5v in bios w/ vdroop 1.45v for about 30 mins now.

pick up another one? so you can pick stepping locally or what.....wish they were cheaper over there to get one imported

**MrDeeds** · 11-04-2006, 11:21 PM

Im going to head out to frys in the morning and see if i can get one of these. I might just get a 6700B though. The last time i checked about a week back they didnt have any of the B steppings.

**LagunaX** · 11-04-2006, 11:32 PM

3.8ghz 1.5vcore dual orthos blend stable? Guess I'll have to take a screenie of my L629A e6600 3.6ghz 1.53vcore dual orthos blend stable for the ebay or xs for sale pic, lol! Fry's here i come (AGAIN!, LOL)!

btw here's the mod I'm going to do for my 2 TTBT's:
http://www.overclock.net/faqs/70395-...ps-my-big.html

Should work for most air/water heatsinks with exposed flat surfaces at the base surface

**Trice** · 11-04-2006, 11:59 PM

Anyone ever go to Frys and have them bring a few to choose from? I think the local one here will look at me funny lol

Let's see, the conversation would be "Can I see one of those E6600 CPUs?", "This box seems a little light, can I see another one to compare it to?", "Ah, they are not the same, can I see another one?".

Make a list of Frys up the coast and spend $50 in gas money and go on a quest!
