Fact is, not everyone overclocks. They are bumping the FSB because it increases stock performance for those uncomfortable overclocking. Multipliers aren't everything, the Q6600 is only made by putting two E6600s together, not by putting two E6850s together.

Q6600 actually is 2x E6850's if you think about it. E6600 and E6850 are the same chips, only the latter was given the G0 revision. To sum that up, early B3 Q6600's are made from 2x E6600's while the G0 ones are from 2x E6850's, but in essence they're just the same chip with a different core revision, a.k.a marketing strategy that allows them to once again sell the E6600 as E6850 for the same price.

Even if the user doesn't overclock, you cannot deny that they aren't the same chips on different core revisions. What makes you think I don't know it is to increase stock performance? All I'm saying is that by doing so, they can resell the same thing for more money. I even mentioned it here:

Thanks. I thought I'd make it so people can refer to it when buying a new CPU. Overclocking is heavily dependent on max FSB and multiplier anyway but Intel is tricking people into buying overpriced chips with low multipliers.

Cause if that is true why isn't every Q6600 user getting at least 3.6Ghz?

quite a few E6850 reach 4.0Ghz but quad cores rarely real that speed.
E6850 isn't really a E6850 you know. When Intel made the G0 revision they didn't bother calling it a E6600 again so they bumped the stock FSB and price and called it a E6850. On the quad side, they left the 6800/6850 name for the Extreme, so they simply refreshed the Q6600s with the G0 revision. What is the difference other than the stock speed? They're both G0 and they both have 9x multiplier.

Also, dual core CPUs always overclock a bit higher than their quad core cousins by nature. Lots of people have hit 3.8GHz on the Q6600 G0. I got my info from my experience with multiple Core 2 CPUs and analyzing the info given at www.intel.com for each chip. To find the multiplier, all you have to do is to divide the stock speed (in MHz) by 1/4 of the stock FSB (in MHz). When they say 1333MHz it's really 1333.3333333......MHz, so is 1066.666666......MHz, so take that into consideration.

E6850 = 3000MHz/(1333MHz/4) = 3000MHz/333MHz = 9x multiplier

So I have a serious hangover here from a meeting/dinner with verizon wireless for work.

But am I understanding this correctly? The lower the multiplier, the easier/higher it will overclock? (not higher as in total Mhz/Ghz,) but percentage wise? Thats what it seems like he's saying... Is this true? Someone correct me please.

The higher the multiplier, the easier it is to overclock. Percentage-wise, the lower multiplier would gain more percentage because it requires more. But I'd much rather have a 3.5GHz E6600 with more headroom than a 3.5GHz E6550 that's been pushed to the max at 500x7.


From my experience with the ten thousand and one Core 2 CPUs I've dealt with, 9x multiplier is the sweet spot. 8x is a just a bit too little and 10x is excessive, although 10x would shine in weaker motherboards (like on a mATX build or something of that sort). Don't even mess with 7x unless you feel like wasting money for fun.

lol...I wish I had realized that when I got my e6320 (7x multi
). It still oc's well, but even 1x more would make me sooo happy

I'll be getting a new cpu soon, but I must say it's kind of fun trying to oc this E6300 with its crappy 7 multiplier
I mean it got me to 4.126ghz so i'm not complaining.

Wow 4.126ghz !?!!


that's amazing! You must have a good batch...my mobo probably would hold me back from 4ghz. I've hit 3.15 very stable (not completely tested), but I stopped because of temps...I'll go for it again once I finish setting up my new cooling system.

Wow! thnx for the information i'm gonna use it buying my new e8500 with 9,5x multiplier!
(Rep for you)

Do you know the difference between Extreme Core2Duo and Core2Duo why is the Extreme Core2Duo much more expensive?

Extreme ones have unlocked multiplier (they go up to 12x or 13x if I remember right), thus allowing easier/better overclocks. And of course they come with a bigger epeen.


For a normal user, there's really no need for Extreme's multiplier, since you won't be running a much higher 24/7 clock anyway. Many extreme overclockers use them though.
