It is indeed. It's not installed yet as it turned up at quarter to 7 this evening while I was eating dinner, and I don't work so well without natural light...

OK - Is there any way to help this resident dummy (me) on how to read the codes on the chips? Any web reference? Planning a Nehalem build - got an Antec 900 in a box and a new Antec 1000 watt PS. Waiting for the X58 chip / SAS controller (in upcoming ASUS board) and, of course, the i7 chip. Saving my quarters and dollars. Not a gamer "yet" but planning on getting there with this next build.

You can't "read" the codes. Most of what we go by is trial and experiment. If you see a particular batch, and lots of people who got that batch report high OCs with it then that batch is labeled good. If not then it's a bad batch.
We don't know ANYTHING about Nehalem Ocing yet. You're just going to have to wait and see.

Russ, if you would notice Anandtech uses a L7** batch CPU. Sam's is a L8**.
Here are some quotes from people who have the L8** batch Q6600s.
Quote:
avoid the L8*** models, because these are the latest pack dates. There's all these rants about how the VID core is way to high and they don't overclock well at all. If you get the earlier pack date the better.
Quote:
That's exactly why I didn't post the L8crap models. Everyone says they're ****. I own one (which is my first Q6600) and it asks LOTS of voltage to be stable (1.55v at 3.4ghz and 1.61v at 3.5ghz)
Quote:
I can vouch for the L8 being absolute crap. I can't get past 3.2. I refuse to put 1.5v or more into an air-cooled chip (even with a Scythe Ninja).
Of course Sam has HIS overclocked to 3.15Ghz but his fan wont work lol. Wish him luck!

That's about what I figured! This is a technical Forum, and "Everybody Says" it's this or that, is totally meaningless without some technical information to show why! Otherwise it assumes far too much, without proof!

Running at 3.24Ghz, 1.408V (as always), so far no issues. 3.33Ghz crashed in windows, 3.42 & 3.60 didn't even make it that far. Still can't get manual settings to work on my board though, they just get ignored.

Yup, but it doesn't necessarily mean much. I had a X3220(Xeon Q6600) with that same VID and it did 3.6ghz stable with 1.4v.

but the xeons are binned better than the regular q6600 and normally have more headroom for overclocking don't they?
