was wondering for those which bought, what stepping are you getting at this point in time? :cool:

thanks
 
FAB!, im hoping to get my order in before Xmas, hoping my mate buys my old bits first!! all waits on him...

I bought the Q9550 OEM

The part i received has the latest E0 stepping. :cool:

Nice chip, it runs very cool (not overclocked yet).

Will be most interested to know how you get on with o/cing this E0.....

Got tired of waiting for this to appear in the retail sector, so bought a C1 instead, which I have running @4.0GHz with 1.35v....
 
Cooler is a Tuniq Tower 120. It cooled a Q6600 (B3 stepping @3GHz) so it should be good for the Q9550.

I haven't stressed the CPU yet. I like to give the install time to settle
Temps are 19C at the moment
44C under full load on a short test run of about 3 minutes.

I probably won't try and take the CPU above 4Ghz anyway.
 
dee, what does it say ** core speed is 1999? shouldnt it be 3000...? or am i missing something..

and yeah, thats good 3 ppl with e0 stepping on recent orders!! woop:D

Most likely Speedstep is enabled.

I might have to get my order in if they are e0 steppings!
 
got mine last week...it was E0 stepping...Got it running at 3.4 no problems on water. Temps are 44-45-46-49 under full load...only problem i have is there are 3 stuck sensors that dont move untill a certain temp is achieved...so not sure what the idle temps are...the lowest is 32 so i suppose i have to say that the idle temps are 32...ish

I got 2 stuck-ish sensors on my Q9650, cores 2 and 3 will go to 34 and 35 lowest respectively and no lower, though had cores 0 and 1 down to 25c! Doesnt worry me one bit though - if it sticks at that i know its cooler and its only load temps that really matter!
 
I think i'm going to like this chip a lot.

Stage one of an overclock

400MHz FSB
3.4GHz

Core voltage 1.056V ;)
Running prime now. At full load, the highest core temp so far is 39C :eek:
