Core 2 Duo Steppings..

How can one identify their stepping?

Just received my new chip (how excited am I!!)

Here's whats on top

Intel (M)(C)'05
Intel(R) Core2 Duo
6300 SL9SA MALAY
1.86GH\/2M/1066/06
L626A130

There's some other numbers at the bottom... What are they about?

L626A130

Thats the batch number

Week 26 is only just here and there in the USA and proving to be a storming overclocker so far the highest clocks!

You need to run CPUZ to get the full stepping

It'll be a 6 B2 as all are now! Only OEM and ES are differnt

Like my ES is a B0 Stepping 4 but is clocking more than most heheh!

Might see 3.7ghz on yours as one has hit it already on water

I have just wet my pants.

heheh you wait mate!!! Tons to be done to it all yet to get it to really go!

Main thing, get shot of speestep! So power bills 110% power 24/7 i thinks!

Well, clocking is quite low on my list so far. Need a running rig first.

I've got 3 hours of work to sit through too lol.

If you got raid going on have fun...Ds4 have been spititng on raid a bit

So i've read.

I can drop to a single 36Gb Raptor if need be, but RAID would be nice.

Umm just ask the mother if living athome or the misis for lots of cleaning up stuff!!!

if you have it set up right you'll wet ya self and seeing as you have a week 26 chip it's going to clock!

By way where you get cpu from here or other?

I WOULD have got it from OCuK. I placed my order monday, as the website said they were in stock. I rang them up Tuesday to enquire where it was, and they said they had no stock.

I promptly cancelled the order and made it somewhere else. I don't think i'm allowed to say where I got it from. (publically, at least)

Are there any other places where people are reporting their clocks based on CPU?
