Quickie about E6750...

Teaf · 2 Sep 2007 at 22:14

Can't understand why the price of this chip is so low, thought it was originally some kinda mistake on the price but had a look around at a few competitors and it's the same over on their sites. So, wondering, why is the E6750 such a low price? Some kinda booby prize with it than I'm not seeing when looking over the specs of it? I would have presumed it's better than an E6600 yet it's £20 cheaper :confused:

It is better than the E6600 in every way, its a new price range. the E6x50 range are meant to be cheaper to compete better in the market.

Ah I see... just seems a little odd that everyone sells the "older" style, like the E6600 at a higher price when it performs worse. Anyway, ta for the reply

They havent updated the E6x00's prices is all. Dunno how they expect to shift any stock

bought em in at a set price, gotta sell em at that set price.

Probs down to £5 or £10 profit per unit!

Usualy £20/30 I'd imagine.

Better a £20 loss than not selling them at all though.

Really? do they overclock better than a E6600?

Mine is sitting at [email protected] and had it pi stable at 3.84Ghz

Nice, is that stable? screenies if u have them pls?

I liked the look of this chip but read a few posts by justintime who didn't think there were so great?

[edit] did you read this:

Extreme FSB: Taking the E6750 Beyond 4 GHz

Weescotts E6750 is @ 3.64Ghz Orthos stable on air.

They seem from what I have pretty easy at getting to 3.6Ghz on air.

All the review I have seen of them they have been clocked to 3.6ghz on air with ease.

Cool which thread are his results published in?

Dont know if he has posted it on here, he just mentioned it on a competitors forum yesterday.

Me and Weescott had a personal competition going on with our 6750's

Yeah, I was the guinie pig. :rolleyes:

I still won though

sargatanas · 2 Sep 2007 at 23:40

By the slightest amount!

I just checked you screenshots weescott, looks good. I assume the temps need +15°C adding to them but still 54°C load at 3600Mhz is great!

Did you run Prime *Blend* test at those clocks?

Those are my results just hosted on Weescotts site, and i tried all tests, totally stable.

weescott · 2 Sep 2007 at 23:52

This is my Prime Shot:

IIRC it was close to 70c load. The max temperature these will clock with. Sarg has better air cooling than me, he got the lower temperatures.

I didnt run any more stability tests at that speed. Just 3d mark 03 and 06 at higher clocks. I'm waiting for some more PC parts before I do any more tweaking.

sargatanas · 2 Sep 2007 at 23:55

i could probably get more but im happy with 3600. I might try [email protected] later

The reason for the price of the E6600 being that bad is to make sure that people move over to 1333FSB and buying the Bearlake chipsets as well.
E6600 processors are still being sold though, for some weird reason.
