Intel Q6600 G0 SLACR, 95W Stepping CPU's - In Stock NOW & SHIPPING !

Have you tried adjusting the screws securing the hsf while the machines running, to try to reduce temp differences?

Are you going to lap it? I'm hoping I won't need to.

Yes...it turned out the chip was convex and not exactly centre at that...i know lapping these Quad's don't reduce temps much but it's now within 5c...so i'm quite happy... atleast it's better than it was...and now all shiny and coppery and oh no warranty lol.

Mine arrived yesterday afternoon.
Gotta mod my case first then it will be installed & Overclocked, will post my results later.

Did anyone else manage to pre-order the G0 at £168.00 when it was first on the site (August 6th) as I know I did.

Thanks for the info, depressing that it is

Batch no. L720B062
Pack date: 08/15/2007

Cpu needs to be lapped...Temps are up to 10c difference between...2 core's @ 46c other 2 @ 36c.......load is around 58-60c....that's with a Thermalright ulta 120 lapped.

Still pretty good temps, despite the CPU surface unevenness - its unfortunate that these quads do tend to suffer from this.

I think getting within 5C over the cores after lapping isn't too bad and something you can live with.

Booted mine straight up at 3.2GHz (8x400) at 1.35vcore in the bios. Load temps are 40-45C when room temp is 20C. Pretty impressive

When room temp rose to 33C (this morning), load temps were 58-62C which is probably more indicative of being assembled in a case.

Cooling: TR Ultra-120 extreme/scythe 1600rpm fan, all open on the bench.

[D-BEAR]

Well i think my effort was'nt invane...this is running F@H temps are looking more even and it's absolute roasting!.

[Adywebb]

Those are excellent whilst running F@H D-BEAR

Should have one of mine up and running tomorrow - hope I get something similar whilst running WCG

Cheers! Adywebb...and good luck m8

Well, its up and running, and like you originally I have uneven temps across the cores - at stock running WCG 100% on all cores I am getting 38-39 over 3 cores, and 46 on the other - looks like I may have to lap the TR Ultra-120 first and see if I can get that one core a bit closer to the others.

Having said that, the overclocking potential is looking excellent

[jjcave]

I think I will be ordering one very soon

[F3rAL]

I have different temp too, but the temp are briliant.
Idle 26-28 load 40-44 stock speed, and voltage.
Cooler Zalman 9700

Very nice, I like it

Has anyone bought a Q6600 G0 stepping within the last week or so? if so would it be possible for you to post the actual FPO# & Batch Dates you recieved? they are actually stated on the box.

Dont forget to show your overclocks, use CPUZ & for stability use OCCT or Prime 95 the latest versions for 8 hours +.

[Adywebb]

OK - heres mine, running WCG 24/7 at 100% over all cores:



Looking at the temps D-BEAR got after lapping, I may do the same.

No pics atm. On one of my other boxes, so take my word or ignore

Q6600/G0 bought from Scan 21/8/7: L720B062; the only date I can see on the box is a pack date of 15/8/7. Vid 1.2875. Had it running at 8*400 for 12 hours P95 stable with Vcore at 1.3 giving 1.264 idle dropping to 1.248/1.232 under load. Currently repeating with Vcore dropped to 1.29375 (1.2875 wasn't stable).

Nice.

Some guy on Hard Forums has hit 4.1GHz stable, under water i believe with some nice temps. I mean 4.1GHz **** that's nice.
