Whats the difference with these?

St0rmer66 · 19 May 2007 at 22:15

Unlocked multiplier.

barrymacp · 19 May 2007 at 22:24

Should be better for overclocking then <3

barrymacp · 19 May 2007 at 22:41

Yous reckon id be able to push one of those a bit more?

Its_Me · 19 May 2007 at 22:57

usualy early steppings , better off with a later rev.

barrymacp · 19 May 2007 at 23:07

its a stepping 4 es sample e6300 im planning sticking that in machine overclocking it to max and get a 8800gts 320mb stuck in aswell

latersamples are the better ones as the early ones are usualy instable

elfy · 20 May 2007 at 00:04

instable eh?

barrymacp · 20 May 2007 at 00:57

I will try it and see hopefully does atleast 3ghz is it true they have unlocked multiplyer?

Cob · 20 May 2007 at 01:07

I don't think they do.

Meatloaf bought an e6300 ES last week and it's not unlocked upwards.

My ES E6400 is not unlocked.

ES's used to be unlocked, ES's used to be bought for INTEL mainly as p4's all had locked multipliers(later on extreme editions were finally unlocked). most of the time you want LOWER multipliers, which are unlocked anyway on conroe's. lower multi + higher bus speed = better performance, always has done.

fairly likely a full production 6300 would overclock better than an ES

Not always true, A64s dont benifit from a higher fsb if the CPU speed remains unchanged.

Hmm A64 don't have a FSB.. it's all direct connect on the die.

barrymacp · 20 May 2007 at 20:47

Only thing i can do is give it a go <3

barrymacp · 20 May 2007 at 21:00

is it true these tend to clock a lot better on lower voltage?

HTT then but the function is the same.

ES

Ulocked multi

Steppings which set some tasty clocks when they first came out and some clocking better than any retial stuff

Better v core control

Better IHS contact and no warping

ES will vary to going up or down but that chip is down on the multi which is okay as means higer fsb

Also so bios updates early on locked es chips out

Stepping 4, if i remeber rightly is B4 and might be QLLO, clocked okay but the last ES ones which came imidatly after clocked way more being the B5and B6 is whats out now.

There has been a recent samll burt of newer ES Conroes as Conroe has had a stepping chnage of instructions or soemthing. B7 i think i read

Oliet_No1 · 16 Jun 2007 at 12:30

Just got one today-Not unlocked Multi on mine im afraid!

Clocks well up to now though - 3Ghz on 1.325v
