Current E6300 Steppings - Gibbo!?

[monkeypants]

Are the OEM and Retail E6300s from the same batches or are they different? If they're different which are clocking better, or is there no difference?

 

[Cob]

There's been no noticeable difference in the clocking.

Got a OEM 6300 at weekend, and sitting here @ 3Ghz (with minimal effort!), plenty more to come.

wowsa. is there really much point in getting any of the more faster stock chips if the 6300 performs so well?

Higher multi, higher chance of higher binned chips. Higher overclocks in theory.

Difference between OEM and retail? Nowt.

E6300 4tw. Mine does 3.5ghz easy, and is also stable at 3.6ghz with more juice.

But mine is chilling at 3.1ghz atm, as ive got a lot of uni work to sort out in these last 2 weeks and i don't even want to risk it going **** up

Looks like I'll be getting an OEM then, unless the Retail comes on TWO.

Retail, because of the warrenty etc.

He asked about the differences in terms of clocks.

Well IMO...no not really unless you want to waste the extra money....had an E6600...now got an E6300 running at 3.4ghz and 90 cash back and well happy.

doesnt overclocking void the warranty anyway ?

Yes, but unless you CPU has completely melted they will never know if you have or haven't
