White_Hair Posted January 27, 2007 Posted January 27, 2007 Hi guys: I am currently looking for E6600 CPU and have a stepping question. I have checked some db for good clocker stepping info. db: http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/showthread.php?t=127379 However, I am still confused about the stepping info. How do you read the stepping (like B-0, B-2..etc)? Because I have a code of one of the cpu I am looking at and I couldn't figure out the stepping: L632B248 SL9S8 Replies would be appreciated. Thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dab Posted January 27, 2007 Posted January 27, 2007 L632B - Means that you have a Week 32 "B" stepping chip. I have a E6400 from the same batch, it's already doing over 3.15ghz stable (still finding the max) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
White_Hair Posted January 27, 2007 Posted January 27, 2007 Thx dab. Greatly appreciated for the info. I heard that there was a small fix in the B-2 stepping to fix the load distribution bug (a minor bug) in the conroe. So I was wondering the stepping info And how do you tell it's a B-2 or B-0 or B-6? Find out by Cpu-z? And any week codes that's known be a good clocker to 3.4? Thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dab Posted January 27, 2007 Posted January 27, 2007 It's pretty luck of the draw, so far the comment opinion has been to hunt down "B" chips. This is the B in L632B.. The revision number is a separate thing, it's shown on the CPU-Z tab, although I couldn't tell you the revision differences. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

White_Hair Posted January 29, 2007 Posted January 29, 2007 Hey Dab: Sorry, I am still a bit confused. (just for self learning) I was checking the overclock db and found couple stepping. How do you tell the cpu is stepping 5 or 6 and lots of cpu stepping codes start with Axxx and is stepping B2? Just what to know how to read them properly.

dab Posted January 29, 2007 Posted January 29, 2007 Here is some info on the stepping, basically it identifies where the chip came from, and what week/batch it was produced from. Conroe Stepping Info---Conroe Week------Conroe Code (The Week and Code are found on the CPU box and on the CPU itself.)A-1 = stepping 1-------------In form of L6##----In form of A### B-0 = stepping 4-------------Example: L617A846= Week L617 Code A846 B-1 = stepping 5 B-2 = stepping 6 There are a few explanations on the web, mostly in the first posts of the various ocdb's around. This is about as good as explanation as you'll find. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
