Hey SLACR, GO! (Q6600 G0 thread)

[battlenut]

core temp is reading right multiplier now its not reading clock right. but here are some pics.

Your version of CPU-Z is way out of date. Use version 1.41.0 (beta, found in the software news section), as it properly reports voltage.

just picked up my q6600 slacr @ micro center in columbus, ohio. they have about 10 of them in stock atm. granted i had the workers searching through all their stock of 6600's to find if they had any. lol they didnt understand why i need a specific stepping. lol. but i got it for $279. they are on sale there btw.

so far i just changed the fsb to 333 or 1333fbs. its crusing along at 3.006 ghz 38/36/34/37 temps under load on a zalman cnps9700 led.

nicely done smurf... 3.0 on a Q6600 G0 for $279 is not bad at all for an afternoon worth of shopping heheh

Just an FYI. My GA-P35-DS3R is running great with the G0.

370 x 9 = 3.33Ghz 1480Mhz FSB @ 1.325V
Memory at 740Mhz 4-4-4-12 @ 2.0V
NB at +.1V

Everything is running great. I haven't tried to push the system real hard at all and I have not attempted anything higher than above settings.

my experience with CompUSA in fairfield, OH was almost identical to yours.
I was actually able to get an employee (after 2 hrs of trying and being put on hold etc) over the phone to check the stock of 5 and verified 2/5 Q6600's were G0's (slacr) .

picked one up an hour later. it was 330$ - 50$ instant rebate = 280$

im happy

Very nice. Can't go wrong there. They took all the compUSA's out of central ohio . I liked that store, now all we have is micro center and a couple of small computer shops.
