Best Q9550 Stepping/Revision?

[haffey]

I'm just wondering what the best Q9550 Steppings/Revisions are. In terms of overclocking, mainly. Was it E0 or G0?

C1 is the one you don't want

E0 i believe is the newer one

E0's have started shipping maybe 2 months ago so its safe to assume you will get a E0 ordering from the Egg. I've also heard reports of them at the Egg.

Yes, I'm actually trying to trade a friend my Q9300 + some cash for his Q9550. He does have the E0, which is good. What about the G0 then?

 

[Siriusmuzik]

There is no G0 for Q9550. That is for the Q6600.

For Q9550 there is only E0 and C1.

Oh, okay. So E0 is best then? Nice!
