Hi there

I'm getting an e6600 and I am wondering what stepping is good.

Tankguys has L629F and i was wondering if that is a good oc'er?

Also, what are some other good steppings and places to get them?

Thanks :D
 
I just got a L644G231 myself from the egg.

Have you checked out the OC Database yet? :)
 
I tend to believe what I've heard many times "a cpus OC'ing ability is in the luck of the draw", but I think the newer chips are less able to OC' then the older chips. (maybe it's true the better E6600's are going to the quads?)

prolly decent in OCing
 
Did some looking at the charts it looks like the L629 week has some decent overclockers, although I didn't find anything really with that F code as theres only one or two posted on the results page.
 
Mine is 2 weeks old (from mWave) and it shows as stepping 6. Oops, sorry. Mine is an E6700.
 
Please somebody help! I just went to "surfin'" the "Net" about the E6600 cpu steppings, I was wondering if it was true that all 4 MB retail C2D's have B2 steppings, they evidently have a ES (engineering sample, pre production) chip with the B1 steppings. I'm having a hard time here. I have 2x E6600's and I thought the 3rd and 4th #'s in the FPO/BATCH # were the week the cpu was made. Like one of mine is a FPO/BATCH # of L632B444, the L6 = 2006, the 32 is the 32nd week of the year 2006. Does the B444 tell you the stepping? My newest E6600 is a FPO/BATCH L640A823, does that mean I have an "A" steppings chip? Please someone help, I'm totally confused. I thought the last 5 digits in the PROD CODE signified the steppings (ie SL9S8), but on my E6600 boxes I have 2 different last five digits SL9S8 and SL9ZL, what gives, please help
