Placed an order for a friend on Friday, got her today and she's a Z3... so I guess Newegg got them in stock....Just wanted to spread the word for you neweggers

I'm a newbie w/this stuff and want more HP for my video encoding while having a user friendly family-pc.That being said, would I be better off with a sl6z3 or sl6z5? If installing on a Ai7 what specific mem would you recommend? Thanks,Bill

Thanks for the report. Was it OEM or Retail?

 

[pacino]

Retail, as far as I know, No OEM M0's on any clockspeed are produced.

Pacino,
Just out of curiosity what FBO/batch code did you get, Hows it O/C?. I got mine on Weds (from Newegg) 12/17 3332A555 pack date 11/06.
Mines muming along @ 3.6 @1.65 watercooled on IC7.

3333A395 pack date 11/21 .. does 300fsb on default, going to test her now ..

Yes, she's rock solid on pcmark/sandra/3dmark2001se etc ...

Impressive overclock. Is that on air/water/phase change?

 

[UnrealCpu]

i think he has a prometia

Nope did that on air (retail HSF) .. here's the dilemma:
. Does 300fsb on default, rock solid on all benchmarks for 3hrs (so far). Then needs all the way to 1.75v to do 3.7!

I think my older Z3 packed 9/15 is way much better, that one did 4Ghz on 1.8v (semi-stable) and 3.8Ghz stable @ 1.75v ... I guess my friend won't deny 1200 free Mhz heh as this chip is for him (I'm only testing it)

pacino,
I think your correct in older pack dates are generally better, still 3.6 on air @ default ain't awful...........goldie

My processor is kinda the same. 3.0C does 3750mhz at 1.55v (stock), using the stock cooler, but doesnt like above 1.65v

 

[Surfeit00]

I would just leave it at 3.6

1.75+ vcore isn't good in my book

 

[UnrealCpu]

what mobo are you using?

 

[pacino]

IC7-MAXIII... Yeah, if this one is mine, I woulda keep it @ default vcore and 3.6 .. but it ain't mine

 

[UnrealCpu]

that would probbly kill the ram
