herk56 Posted April 18, 2008 Posted April 18, 2008 I just bought a retail boxed Q6600 and checking the box label, there is no mention of GO Stepping. Is there something on the Intel label that will indicate GO stepping? The S-SPEC is SLACR. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattwalter85 Posted April 18, 2008 Posted April 18, 2008 just to clarify things a little under revision it will say G0. it may say on the box or just look on cpu-z after you get it installed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there something on the Intel label that will indicate GO stepping? The S-SPEC is SLACR. I answered my own question with a little research. If your CPU box or CPU itself has S-Spec: SLACR or just SLACR, you have a GO stepping CPU. Ijust bought a retail Q6600 from Fry's for $189.99 plus shipping and it's a SLACR. I'm happy!!

road-runner Posted April 18, 2008 Posted April 18, 2008 Yes all SLACRs are G0 revisions.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
UkJenT Posted April 18, 2008 Posted April 18, 2008 Good, now get to OCing that chip. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
hardnrg Posted April 18, 2008 Posted April 18, 2008 while it's better than a B3, you can still get stubborn G0 chips... 1.325v VID is hard work compared to those ~1.26v Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
herk56 Posted April 18, 2008 Posted April 18, 2008 Good, now get the OCing that chip. I will, but that's the only part of my new build that I have. The other parts are in the process of being decided upon and ordered. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remember not to long ago when the only chip that would get that was the P4 2.4Ghz? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

six Posted April 20, 2008 Posted April 20, 2008 while it's better than a B3, you can still get stubborn G0 chips... 1.325v VID is hard work compared to those ~1.26v My first 1.325 was a fight to get stable at 3105 mhz and though it went higher, I could never seem to keep it happy above 3105. My second 1.325 is an entirely different story. After Roadrunners advice got me straightened out the other day, it is a comfortable OC at 3600 mhz. I can't seem to push it past 3760, but I'm beginning to suspect my memory as the problem. - If a 1.26 is easier than this one, then maybe I'll try again and order another one.... but if I keep ordering new chips until I get a "golden" chip, I'll eventually have to start considering the 45nm stuff instead.

Waco Posted April 20, 2008 Posted April 20, 2008 I have to agree on that Steve, the 1.325s are stubborn compaired the lower VIDs but you still should be able to get a 1Ghz OC on most. Remember not to long ago when the only chip that would get that was the P4 2.4Ghz? They get binned at the higher VID for a reason.
