Just picked up a E6600 L629B476 stepping?
- Thread starter iMacMart
- Start date
I've got E6600 running stable at 3.2Ghz on 1.35v, Idle temps are 28c , full load with orthos temps never go higher than 48c , ocd my EVGA 8800gts 640Mb grapics card core 702Mhz and Memory 1025Mhz and got 3DMark 06 of 12437
http://service.futuremark.com/results/showSingleResult.action?resultId=5698828&resultType=14
Nice score - I currently get 10,774 with my E1240 @ 3.0ghz and my 8800GT 730/2050/1800
Nice price! Is that the same stepping as mine or a different one?
Both air and water, with a half decent cooler even something like a freezer pro you should get 3.6
I had mine at 450 x 8 and performance was good for gaming. Run TAT and watch the temps shoot up on air mine would hit 65 degrees, the good news is you won't find anything else that will push it that hard, not even prime/orthos or any app I have found will make it run as hot as TAT.
If I remember correctly the L729B was supposed to be the second best stepping and the best was supposed to be the L728B not that I ever got to try one of them
anyhow it should be a nice little chip .... ENJOY
Hopefully the freezer pro 7 will do my proud! If the chip runs well on low volts but is too hot for the pro 7 I'll change it!
Will report back once it's in and running
I'm a bit concerned that my 965P-DS3 (rev 3.3) motherboard has a FSB wall 
If I go over 8 x 375 it boots and reboots back to default settings, if I drop the multiplier to 6 and up the FSB to 450 say it does the same?
If this is the case I'll only be able to get my E6600 to 3.6 or 3.7 at the most (nothing to be sniffed at I now)
Am I missing something or is there another way I could test and maybe get past this????

Hi W3bbo
I haven't got the chip as yet should be here Tuesday, I'm worried about my current motherboard not allowing me to push the chip though
seems to crap out at 375 with my current chip..Maybe the E6600 will give me a lot more breathing space though?
I've searched and seen you talking about this stepping, hoping it won't be too hot
I currently have a AC7 Pro but would get a Tuniq or Ultra 120 if the clocks were good at low volts but the temps were high!
Should be here Wednesday all being well

Well its been Orthos stable for 12 hours @ 1.4v 3.6ghz ram divider of 1:1
idle 33 load 55max
I have a tuniq tower to put on it tonight when I get in from work..........
I might be able to get 3.8ghz from it I think - I could boot into windows at 3.8ghz last night but I got a bsod after 5mins that was at 1.45 or 1.50 I think
Not sure if I should be upp'ing my ram volts at this clock?
