haha... that's my friend's new setup, i'm still stick with s939 X2

Don't you think it is time to upgrade? Even I have already upgraded after holding on to my AMD rig for so long!!!

I find that DDR2 + PCI-E parts are much cheaper too!!!

Now waiting for my new air-cooler before I OC my E6750!!!

wahhh... confirm want to OC kaw2 if u waiting for your new air-cooler.

Of course la. That's the main reason why people buy high performance cooler ma....

naaaahhh...i just buying it coz dunno what to do with the money i have

haha donate for me abit bro can buy few new hardware then hows ur new quad?beyond 4ghz dy?

hahah...u buy bulk thing then open a bid lor...can help ppl like me..

Looks like 3.5GHz wont be so much trouble for ya afterward.

No wonder! Saw in garage sale regarding your E6850 and E6600. Was thinking this guy much be full of $$$!!! Sell me your E6850 cheap cheap la!!!!

about to install it this morning...was waiting for the xingmatek...but havent arrive yet, so got impatience looking at the quad lying there...install je la with the geminiII...we'll see how it's perform
not full of $$$ la bro...actually bad timing when i bought the e6850...was looking for the quad G0...dun have, so grab the e6850...then kvcom selling the G0, grab that one and selling the E6850...if u want, can offer me la, we'll see how...coz the e6600 edi sold, so wanna get rid of the e6850 as well...soonest as possible...

btw, enuff with that...nanti TS or the staff/admin kasi warning plak...
to the rest,sorry for the OT discussion

and just got info that my E6850 is actually a G1 stepping...nvr heard of it...cpu-z reported as G0...anyone heard of G1 stepping???

By the way, where the G1 info came from?

No la, I'm happy with my E6750 for now. Unless you wanna sell it REAL cheap!!!

AFAIK, there's no such thing as the G1 stepping. Well, at least not yet!!! I did see someone mentioning this in your thread. Unless this is insider information....

Furthermore, I don't think Intel will release a new stepping when the G0 just came out!!!!

Maybe G1 steeping is in Penryn family...

So, does anyone have any other info regarding the topic?

Some sources indicate that the new C2D temperature sensor is more accurate at load, and is very inaccurate at idle. That's why it is giving a low temperature at idle.

And there is no confirmation of the Tjunction of the E6x50 series yet.

To add (15'c) or not to add, that is the question.....

The tjunction means temp for the core so its hard to measure manually unless u take out the heatspreader.

i've sold my btvx and got myself another btvx (dun ask why) and noticed there's difference in the temp now.

at 3.6G, was running 22C 25C on both core0 and core1 with the old btvx. now it's reporting 30C 29C with the new btvx. already tried to resit the btvx a couple of time but it's still the same.

the new temp seems more "logical" but my question is why there's changes in the temp when im still using the same temp monitoring tools?

probably the AS5 (i presumed) is yet to sink in properly...give it some time. according to their guide, 200hrs. dunno la.

Just wait for another few days, maybe.

This is wat i found bout G1... something's not rite bout tat stepping...

hmm i think myb the base of btvx rather than waitin the as5 to sink..jus my prediction since ur previous unit mite hv better attachment to ur IHS cmpare to new unit
