which temp is correct?

I believe the 648 in the above translates to the 48th week of 2006 which is early December.

The earliest E6300 date code in the [H] OC database is week 24 which was mid June. CPU-z now reports these early processors as Revision B2, Conroe.

On the xtremesystems forum people are assuming that because this new E6300 has the same L2 revision as the E4300 Allendale that the new L2 E6300/E6400 are now also Allendale. They're probably right but until I read that on the Intel site I'm not 100% convinced.

The reason Intel created the original E6300/E6400 was so they could sell processors that had problems with the on board cache. You get a better yield if you can sell your defective processors by disabling half of the cache. Their yields may be high enough now that they don't need to do that anymore so they can save money by building all of the 2MB cache chips on the Allendale core.

That's all just wild guessing. All I really know is that whatever you get, overclock the hell out of it and you will end up with a speedy computer. :D
 
heck, i'll just follow TAT just in case. higher the better. that way, even if my temps are lower and the right temp is from coretmp i won't be screwed to bad. lol, tomorrow after i swap my board, i will oc the hell out of it

I stand corrected as well and I agree with your guess but I also believe we will be seeing a mix of Conroe and Allendale E6300/E6400 depending on batches. It would be foolish to trash good processors because part of the 4 Mb cache is damaged and disabling half make them good. On the other side, it cost less to make Allendales since I'm very sure the die density is lower than on Conroes with the lack of 2 Mb of cache, which in turn fit a few more dies on the same wafer.

After you swap your board to a 965 based board TAT and CoreTemp should line up much better so it won't matter which utility you use.

Your results will help confirm what utility is working properly. Happy overclocking!
