conroe or allendale?

sil40sx · Mar 27, 2007

how do I know what kind of CPU do i have? Because everest reads mine as allendale, but CPU-Z says it's conroe,..

bloodshedder · Mar 27, 2007

I believe Revision B2 is a Conroe with 2 MB of L2 Cache disabled. The Allendales are Revision L2.

sil40sx · Mar 27, 2007

so it means mine is conroe, and cpu-z is more accurate than everest in regards with cpu specs?

Yup. B2 Revision is a Conroe.

yeah like the others said, listen to cpuz.. but, the new everest07 says conroe-2m now

oh I see, thanks for the quick response guyz!

is conroe better or anaedale better for the OC????

inkfx · Mar 27, 2007

From what I have seen, the Conroes do better. Allendales are needing more voltage per clock.

this is true my E6400 B2 week24 does 3ghz at near stock voltage core...where my E4300 needes 1.45v for 3ghz.

Mycobacteria · Mar 27, 2007

Is there a way to tell that you have a conroe or an anadelae BEFORE you open the box?

Evilsizer · Mar 27, 2007

pretty much any E6300 or E6400 you buy retail is a allendale... the only conroes now have 4mb L2 cache.

i second that! because my e6400 is stable @ 3.2Ghz on 1.34v

IIRC, the batch number should be different. Example, L632 means it's a Conroe. The Allendales should have a Q in place of the L.

Evilsizer · Mar 27, 2007

im tired so i fogot about that ink and well you can check the SLxxxx on the box or cpu if oem see here

2mb cache is allendale. 4mb is conroe. Thats how you tell. The cheaest conroe is the e6600. The cheapest allendale is the e4300.

wrong.

my e6300 is a CONROE, 4mb of cache is on the chip, but Intel has disabled 2mb.

Allendale has 2mb of cache native. there is no disabling going on.

you can tell the difference between an Allendale and a Conroe by either the FPO/BATCH# on the side of the box and on the IHS for oem cpus. Allendales have a FPO that starts with Q6, Conroes have a FPO that starts with L6.

if you have the cpu installed, you can tell with CPUZ. Allendale has a stepping of L2, Conroe has a stepping of B2.

my Conroe. notice, 2mb of cache, B2 stepping.

nice ram!

bossross · Apr 18, 2007

So does that mean when it comes to new stock, an E6300 with 2MB is a allendale and an E6320 with 4MB cache is a conroe?
