So if you could choose (might be in such a position ;)) which E6600 C2D chips seem to be getting the best OC results ?

Agreed there are not really any crap ones, but some do seem to clock better than others......seems week 28/29 have been achieving better results......and also the ones with B (eg L268Bxxx) in the code seem to be particulalry good.

My L624A602 seems to want plenty of vcore to get beyond 3.2GHz - not that this is bad ;) - whereas many week 28 'B' versions seem to go for 3.6GHz and beyond with similar volts.
 
My week 28 does 3.6 on 1.57v. most I have dared get out of it is 3.75 @1.63v.

L628A315

The B ones seem to overclock better with less volts but temps are also higher on those revisions so some decent cooling is required.
 
Dunno what they represent tbh. I was just making a comparison to those who have the b's to the A's and on average the A's are cooler but don't get as high an average overclock. Then again the B's seem to be a more recent stepping and as such are scarce.
 
Thanks :)

Well, I am hoping to be able to pick and choose from stock, and if this is the case I would like to pick the best available :D

Hmm, must be just me, I'm able to get my week 27 to 3.93 on 1.35v? I don't even want to see the highest at 1.6 volts! :D

What motherboard/cpu/ram are you using ?

Do you have vcore on auto ? it may be running more volts than you think.
