Conroe retail stepping!!! Sucks

[Drazic]

A-0 = stepping 1
A-1 = Stepping 2
A-2 = stepping 3
B-0 = stepping 4
B-1 = stepping 5
B-2 = stepping 6

Thats the lot, every stepping Intel have made for Conore to this very day.

I have been told they got a newer stepping B3 stepping 7 if there are issues within the 1st 30 days of realses they will make a newer chip and do a RMA hot swap on them.

Retail is now the B2 Stepping 6, this was changed a few weeks ago and prior to that it was B1 stepping 5.

B2 stepping 6 wil lnot OC that far at all what so ever. Been chatitng to someone that has an X6800 B2 Stepping 6 retail and they can only get a max clock of 3.466ghz at 1.35v, anyhting more Windows boots but then crashes and is needing high volts to do anyhting.

So it's all up in the air a bit and what not!

B0 stepping 4 is the daddy but is ES only. I'm now in two minds of keeping or selling mine

B1 stepping 5 will oc a tiny little it more but getting it stable is one thing.

So with it only just round tut corner what you going to do.

Will your pre order be a B1 stepping 5 or the all of a suden B2 stepping 6?

^ Oh that the magic b0 stepping 4 Cornroe E6700ES which is mine

You could always make my day and take my Stepping 4 B0 and run at 4Ghz air cooled and have a 12 second super pi time and not need to upgrade for ages!!!

I though i best not keep you all in the dark

 

[Drazic]

I think everyone is overreacting. There are been so few results posted with the retails chips, all on poor aircooling too.

So far we've seen 3.4Ghz-3.5Ghz with around 1.35v.

B1 spanks B0 and the fact that B2 is so closely based on B1 with apparenlty only 'one minor change', I'm not too worried.

So a Tuinq Tower or Syth Ninja are poo air coolers? Not what i seen, heared, read and oh used!! AS5 too is used.

B2 is a silly little chnage that is barly noticable on the film...got it somewhere. b2 is a massive decrease in the oc to b1 or B0.

B0 is amazing ta, 85% of all Conroes have been B0 and have set the benches there....like to see them be beaten.

B1 will oc but 40/50 MHZ more is what i have seen

 

[Drazic]

Hahah prove it?? Come on, public prove it. Oh wait you can't so shut up

Right i have seen over 90 retail Cornoes that are not clocking that far what so ever. I helped this dude out last night and it's not the only one i have seen. Latter next week i'll have a white box one to test the stepping of proving customs leave it alone.

Yeah well dispite what you've said they have chnaged it form b1 stepping 5 to b2 stepping 6.....kinda tell you something don't it. All the white box Conroes i seen and have sold on have been B1 stepping 5.

Erm i have spoken to my Intel Contact thnaks, she has a name too. She is also views this site so if you dfon;t want your ears burning i surgest strongly you shut up and give her some respect.

Memory is picky on the newer Intel stuff. Just look about and you'll loads of issues.

I'm, sorry what? I said i had a few Conroes possibly for sale. Had to get permision and told what to do with them being left over. When you have someone as perfectic as your self sending a pm an hour you think i want to deal with you...hell bloody no. Oh it was way over a monthy ago too. I sold them all, directly 10 i had and all went for £485 each. Your ***** as you didn;t get one, i ignored your pm's, blocked you on msn possibly. family, work, living comes way befor any of this pc crap and pc geaks

Oh and you can try and own me but good luck. have you a conroe...hell no

Don't swear. FF

 

[Drazic]

Durzel go be sour eles where please.

If everyone here is so hocked up on Conroe then they will know about ES etc etc. Then stepping will be very self explantry.

Has this info been posted here yet before me...no so i let you know

Fact is it's been seen by many that b2 stepping 6 is not a good oc but thing may well change.

And to keep you horid lot happy i posted a pic of my Conroe. it;s lapped a sif the product codes got out i get in the shizle as it's an ES

Bord had a problem with my Intel bord, on other proper bord as the bad axe is odd as hell it clocks tons more as nearly all steppiung 4's where on bad axe as to asus and dfi etc

 

[Drazic]

How can imake this clear

BORDY HAS MY CPU INTEL CONROE E6700 ES AND INTEL BAD AXE REV 304 MOBO TO DO SOME BENCHING ON IT

Thicky loading it up with some LN2 goodness

Admiring the coldstuff

Anyone can have an ES chip mate, anyone. I get them cheap if not free and get to test them.

You now getitng the picture. Someone else had my rig to bench with to beat every score in the UK.

Get dons in if you want. Gibbo deal with a very good gropu of people at Intel uk as it goes as we've spoken lots about it as he wanted to sort bad axe mobos out with em. if you asked him nicly i;m sure you'd be able to get him to call up intel and get a stepping list of Conroe ES - retail

I posted up exactly what i got off the net and off my Intel contact

 

[Drazic]

Dam..that lowering ya self. I found saw one the other day at the tip when took some scrap up there

 

[Drazic]

Bordy has the scroes currently and is away as his grandad had a heartattack so thats why nowt has been shown

Always help having someone on the inside don't it right?? How many englishmen do you know that oncew was with or currently is with a jappanes lass...not manny i tell ya...owned!!!!

 

[Drazic]

I don't do paypal as full of a bucnh of frauders n00bs.

No thats not to you all here okay. But a few years ago i had really bad fruad which is only just being sorted by barclays and PP heheh and i don't use it.

I sold all my es cpu's and needed one badly for an up and coming Ln2 day so i hadned Bordy the cashand he paid for it. the seller stick with the rules and terms on PP of sending to the payes address.

I live in Plymouth but have been out of the uk a lot recently whoo and Bordy lives way way way away form plymouth

it was also my dads birthday of the Ln2 day so family comes 1st which most of you should do i say but meh...so Bordy benched for me on Ln2 with Pete and baz's help

 

[Drazic]

yet another thread i'm missing something, his benchmarks of a ES E6700 are going to prove retail stepping conroe's are crap how exactly?

retail stepping cpu's so far are not clocking that good but are made with the newer stepping being B2 Stepping 6

This will look poor over all the ES one and there were a lot of the B0 Stepping 4's made.

ES was also b1 stepping 5 nd this all came as some retail ones.

Right you understand death yeah, mean thats it no more, you get burnt or berried or sank. When that happens to someone in your life, whom you love or a fmaily meber or what ever everything goes on hold, work, play and serving the like of you lot. Bordys grand dad had a heartattack. His proity went there so he's gone up contry to see and be with him and his family. In good time he will post it up i'm sure and i have some new gear to play with on it too so more stuff too.

I'm not a 3d mark fan but i'll do some i guess. Super pi, cpuz verified is more what i'll be doing.

So to calrifie for the really lamo dum ones here

Family 1st
Health
Work
Then umm maybe you lot

You aint god, will never be and need to read between the lines

 

[Drazic]

maybe the fact he has not been at home as he live in reading and his grandad is in Manchester...dam you lot do have a heart but really can;t think outside of a bloody box can you!!!

I'll try if i have time tongiht to get the pics and cpuz off the guys that messaged me but i have plans with my son and the misis tonight.

 

[Drazic]

Erm he didnt send it for anthour two weeks so i got a refund on it. USPS have tracking, aint hard to get a number to get an idea where it is. The fact he was not replying to pm's, e-mails, msn, oh and then i ended up calling him at his work. Told him i was not happy etc etc waitied over two weeks for it be send so he refuneded me. If you go out of contact i think a publicly know contact of him having my money and not doing anyhting counts. Oh and black listing on his name.

Duh it happens here. DR Bob is one of them!

My Canon had died so as it's still in the 6 years warranty (Canon emplyoes get extened cover even though i no longer work them) it went off on a repalcemnt job. Got it back but an upgreaded model a smine i had is no longer made.

Bordy has the benches like i keep tell you, want me to tatto it in your forhead??

Tell you what i'll leave this topic, wait for Bordy to return form when his and i hate to say this but i think it's the only was to get you to see it, passing away grandad. Once he's back i'll get the stuiff off him for you.

Oh by the way being racist i think is part of the rules. She might be Oriental but don't take the mic. We been in touch form when we broke up at 16 when she moved back home. Thats it nowt more. I'm now praticly a married man and i don;t think my littlen wants to up root and what not
