How do I check my q6600 for G0 stepping?

kinitex · 07-19-07, 06:27 PM

Where do I look?

EmAn · 07-19-07, 06:30 PM

i dont think the G-0 stepping cpu's are out now but you can check cpu-z

and if you dont have cpu-z then you can get it here

kinitex · 07-19-07, 06:54 PM

the cpu isnt even installed yet lol im looking at it right now. Does it not say on the chip itself? If it does and its not G0 what other versions should I be looking for?

Gautam · 07-19-07, 06:59 PM

sSPEC...if its SLACR its a G0, SL9UM is B3.

core2due · 07-19-07, 07:00 PM

If it's go then at the end of the model # I think it will say something like SLACR.

kinitex · 07-19-07, 07:18 PM

sweet G0 it is

EmAn · 07-19-07, 07:19 PM

well nice to hear!

Gunlance · 07-19-07, 07:21 PM

Mind telling us where you picked it up?

ares350 · 07-19-07, 07:50 PM

impressive, I didnt think they were out yet, did you just get it? and where? also, you JUST bought a Q6600? you know the price gets sliced in half in 3 days right?

GTengineer · 07-19-07, 07:53 PM

Wow! and you said you got it off ebay??

treatmentx · 07-19-07, 08:05 PM

lol pictures plz

kinitex · 07-19-07, 09:15 PM

I bought it off ebay on the 16th for $318

torin3 · 07-19-07, 09:29 PM

I guess the easy way to remember them:

Slacker is new
Slum is old

ares350 · 07-19-07, 09:36 PM

that seems... odd

unbelievable even?

yes I think so.

fake? Id be highly suspicious. I dont know how hard it would be to lap a heatsink and print some bogus steppings on it. though 318 for a new Q6600 is still cheap, unless it turns out to be an E6600 or something really shady.

GTengineer · 07-19-07, 09:43 PM

A cpuz screenshot should put this to rest!

Sorin · 07-19-07, 10:13 PM

I dunno, I've been reading about waaay too many guys over at extremesystems or whatever who are running these things and putting regular orders in for them for me to doubt (or care anymore) if it is a real G0 Q6600.

Karnal · 07-19-07, 10:19 PM

Hmm, I had one on preorder from tankguys and they still arnt confirming that they have even recieved them let alone started shipping them. Now im curious.

treatmentx · 07-19-07, 10:35 PM

lol exactly, CPUZ ID will put the skepticism to rest, minus pre-photoshop check.
