What's the difference in Inte's CPU's...

**temeteus82** · Nov 20, 2007, 06:15 AM

Ok the deal is that one retailer has Q6600's on sale on set is marked with SKT775 and the other is SLACR. I've looked Intel's site and found nothing useful info about them. So I bet that we have here some one who knows what the deal is in here.

Thanks

Ps. And I would like to know that does the both come with stock cooler...

stepping man. you know about all the commotion for G0 Q6600s? the model number SLACR is the successor to the model SL9UM which is a hotter running, lower clocking chip

consider the SLACR model Q6600 the latest revision, its the one you want.

your retailer you said was bundling SL9UM chips with motherboards? more than likely they are trying to get rid of those older B3 stepping models.

i think its worth it to buy the G0 (SLACR) model

No they just have 2 different Q6600's on sale they have different Intel product codes BX80562Q6600 and HH80562PH0568M SLACR. I've looked up the first one in Intel's site and it says it's G0 stepping... Both of them has the one year warranty so they can't be boxed products with cooler?

On the other side the price difference is just 4€ so I might get the second model.

Yes, SLACR is the newer core revision - here are the specs. This is the older revision, avoid it if you can. "SKT775" means Socket 775. And if you want the stock cooler get the BOX version.

Just googled and it seems that the "HH80562PH0568M" is an OEM version and the "BX80562Q6600" is boxed retail version.

**temeteus82** · Nov 20, 2007, 09:02 AM

Yeah I've been looking other retaillers in here and found that there aren't any boxed versions out here. So I think that I'll get the SLACR reversion and get some cheap cooler, since I don't have the money to get the high end ones :P

**kris23** · Nov 20, 2007, 09:09 AM

the numbers you are referring to are the BOXED and OEM order numbers "BX" is the boxed proocessor and "HH" is the OEM processor.

if they are both G0 SLACR chips then either one is fine really.

RoyBatty said it right

The Freezer 7 Pro is a good cheap cooler.

**kris23** · Nov 20, 2007, 09:12 AM

what he said, only 20 bucks USD for Freezer 7

procupine14 · Nov 20, 2007, 11:59 AM

Arctic cooling does good work this is for sure

So if I get the box there is slight change that I get the G0 stepping... and it's 4€ cheaper

ChaosMinionX · Nov 20, 2007, 08:11 PM

Freezer 7 pro I wouldnt recommend for a quadcore.... it will work for stock but not much else.

**kris23** · Nov 20, 2007, 08:12 PM

dude, the box order codes for the SLACR and SL9UM are the same so dont base your purchase on it.

i highly recommend just spending that 4 quid and know you got the best version

lol, you don't seem to figure it out why i post the info in full details (in my above post) on both Core Stepping of the processors.
if you want to make sure you get the Stepping G0 processor, place your order of the processor based on the info i give you.

Yeah I don't get it. One of my friends got that box and the CPU was G0 stepping ... Man that I have a ton of things to do and the flu is trying to get in again

you should concern about the "sSpec Number" more than anything else (and not based on a previous buy) if you want to make sure you get the prefered stepping processor.
it's best if you could call and confirm about this with the store that you buy it from.

Yeah I'll ask them about that whole mess

anyways thanks to you all

PangingJr · Nov 21, 2007, 05:34 AM

just a remainder, the sSpec Number is on the boxed retail processor, if it's not the same sSpec then don't open the box and ask for a replacement.

**temeteus82** · Nov 21, 2007, 05:43 AM

I'll remember that
