E6600 processor

Do a search on these forums and you will find a lot of information on this. But they are very good clockers apparently. The heatsink fan that comes with it is quite noisey, but if you are overclocking i would suggest buying a better one.

I agree its quite big as well... and would consider a different cooler

Stelly
 
my mach ii gt that broke down i may send it in for repair soon..

can i use that with these core duos (do they have cold bugs?) or would it be pointless anyway?

The engineering samples are, no one's seen a retail yet. They may not be as good :(

engineering samples doesnt mean that they are handpicked silicon targeted for high clocks. Its silicon for testers , just like beta software.
 
Maybe, I'm not so sure there's no binning ES and the retail's a different stepping. Threads like this one got to make you wonder. My point is, it’s too early to tell and basing overclock expectations on ES leaves room for disappointment . But I hope your right, I've one on order ;)

cold... bug?

An attribute of the chip that stops it working (frozen tranistors or something) if you drop the temperature down to -100c or so. FX-57s had this 'problem' though FX-55s could go right down to -200c or so.

Not something to worry about unless you are using cascade cooling or liquid nitrogen.

Cold bug can affect CPU's from -20 or so, and no one has managed to get a CPU dowen to -200(Certainly outside some major lab) as Liquid Nitrogen goes down to -194, and you wouldn't even get this low on the chip.
 
again it depends on the level of speed binning, I have an ES cpu E6600 Stepping 5. All of the ES were reportedly NOT speed binned, I doubt whether anything sent to Coolaler is either (even if it is stepping 6).


Time will tell, by the next week or so people will be posting their overclocks..

Whether Coolaler's clocks will be seen on B2's, I doubt it, we'll see as more peeps get the retail chips.
My hunch is all 6600/6700 are speed binned 6800's, so upping the necessary will give the desired results, maybe. ;)
