E6300 and E6600 - How far are they clocking?

Hades · 12 Jan 2007 at 21:13

Given a good motherboard and RAM how far are these clocking on average?

Thanks.

No probs, they all clock well from what i've seen.

The chips themselves clock great, however they may need lapping to clock properly (like mine did) as the heatspreaders are often not flat.

There's a local computer shop nearby. It's more expensive than online but I thought about asking if I could take a look at the stepping. Is this visible through the box (in the same way AMD's are visible through a clear window)? If so then what would be the better steppings to look for?

is it easy enogh to remove the heatspredder?

or not a wise move?

You don't need to remove the IHS, lapping is just sanding it down flat.
