As you were so keen to read through my posts, here it is again in case you missed it.Ice Tea said:I didn't realise that there was such a big difference with the conroe chips as i have had my hands on loads of the older Pentium D and they all seem pretty much the same.
Kaiju said:For the record there is a great difference between batches at the moment. Chips around W40/41 (E4300) will hit 3.4GHz, while others won't and will hit 3.2GHz with less volts than other weeks.
I've had an ES 6400 long before c2d went retail and it does 3.2ghz on stock volts and 3.6 on 1.375v, had a retail E6400 here only 2 weeks ago i built for a guy that did 3.4 with 1.475
