week 28b e6600

[Biohazard]

Where do you find the batch code?

On the CPU itself? Or can the info be found on the box?

 

[IT Troll]

Both. On the box it is labelled as FPO / Batch.

Just received one from the exact same batch; 7638A547 - Pack Date 10/30/06.

Seems really weired, mines L628B368 - Pack Date 10/30/06. I reckon yours is a batch code error.

Mine's L628A724 and pack date 08/29/2006.

30th of Oct would suggest a later week chip (ie 38). Yours was probably packed later, but made earlier (if that makes sense....)

So wheres the week 33, 34, 35, 36, 37's ? lol

I've just received a 6600 with the following batch No: L628A376, can anybody tell me if thats a good batch for overclocking?

 

[marscay]

there's good and bad in all batches i'm afraid.

only way is to clock it.

Got me e6600 28a upto 3.8 with 1.65v.

Can't stress this enough. It really is the luck of the draw.

Sweet spots for 6600 are 3.6 and 3.8 after that unless you have expensive memory you have to start knocking the timings back. 3.6-3.8 around stock are hard to find and that is what you should be looking at. I went through about 30 chips to find Jamies chip. Week 29A, 30A are nice chips generally

Will be testing a 29B when I find the time.

Glad your still happy with you board & chip m8
