Just picked myself up a cheap E6300.

The guy says this is the stepping:

Q701A185

And this is the info I was given:

Haven't worked with it much but it will at least do 3.150 GHz (450x7) at 1.4V. Will also do 2.8 at or below stock (1.325V) voltages.

Is that good?

And what stepping is this then?

3.15 @ 1.4

Sounds like its got a bit more room to OC.

But that's a weird stepping
