Just curious if anyone has one of the new ones in their hands yet?

I ordered one yesterday and it still hasn't shipped

yea i was plannin on ordering my quad from the egg but it got to expensive so now i site shopping for  others and on price watch i found a couple but im not sure if there legit or not

i found this site and its really cheap too but i dont know if its go stepping or not

I wouldn't trust that site at all... they can't even stop bots from coming in and spamming the customer review boards.

I'm pretty sure that the Q6600 will go down in price very fast (after all, the price on newegg is controlled by a bot... the employess probably don't even know it got jacked up).

Just got mine this morning.  No G0 stepping for me, so I guess I'll just go with the B3 and see how things work.  Only paid $320 for it a couple days ago so I'm not too worried.  Gonna wait until Penryn comes out before I buy another proc I guess.

Did you get it from newegg? Chances are if you did, then i'll get a B3 also, which wouldn't make me very happy:P

I did get it from newegg  

mine is coming in today, ill tell you guys what i get. i doubt ill get GO.

 also from newegg, but i got it for 300
 

I'm wanting a Q6600 G0 myself. Ranger you said you got a SLACR, I'm just wondering if NE has those why is the manufacturers info page not updated.  Is it they may have some of each and what you get is luck of the draw.

Wish there was some way to confirm they are all SLACR's, don't know if I want to risk it just yet without more people confirming they got one as well.

Have a great day all.

Just got my q6600 from newegg, and god bless them it's a SLACR. I felt for sure i was going to be SLUMing it:P Ordered mine on 7/24.

YOWZA that's promising...especially with the price back down to around 340

Its definitely not a sure thing if its not listed on the seller's info page:( I'm assuming if i got SLACR then everyone else who ordered on/after the 24th should too? Did anyone else get one before the 24th? I just can't imagine them sending out GO stepping if they still had B3's left. Then again what the hell do i know. The only info page I saw that clearly labeled what you were getting was tigerdirect, but who's going to pay that much for a quad, regardless if its a b3 or GO.

I'm beginning to wonder as Newegg is alot bigger and sells more volume I'm sure than some of these smaller sites that claim to have all GO's.

The Egg has sold out of the older SL9UM versions twice since Sunday that I know of. I'm thinking they are pretty much all G0's by now, have to be. I might be wrong though.

And don't think Newegg mixes them, It would be much to time consuming and expensive to do that. It is Intel that is/was sending out the mixed shipments as they said they would till all the old steppings are gone completely.

See they are now back up to a 5 per customer limit, that should take care of any left over B3's if there are any.  

What is the GO stepping?  Just curious.

And what's B3?

Rangerjoe:

No temp readings yet, since I don't have my Memory. I refuse to shove my old nasty memory into my new rig:P UPS should have it here by Monday.

Ok, no rush RangerJoe. Just thought maybe you had that bad boy up and roaring already.

FYI:
Nefty you are incorrect as to the 1333MHz FSB, the new lower wattage, cooler running G0 still has the 1066MHz FSB as before the only difference is wattage which in turn makes it cooler running.

And to all it seems the Egg may have a shipment of mixed Q6600's as someone reviewed today that they have received a B3 stepping. Luck of the draw right now it seems.

My anticipation is getting so great I'm wearing my anti-static wristband everywhere. Got to have that geeky bling.

Have a great day all. 

When newegg going to be put up g0 q6600? I notice few people allready got g0 but no sure about ordering from newegg yet.

ncixus.com allready has g0 thinking of ordering from there plus $20 cheaper then newegg and free shipping I been waiting toooo looong for g0...

I'd be careful with ncix as well as some people are now reporting getting B3's as well. Think Intel is sending out mixed batches so it seems like luck of the draw. Here is what ncix has now posted on their page.

 Also notice they put a 62.2? C in their specs as to the thermal design specs.

Even such places as tankguys that are taking G0 preorders is saying it may take a while for everyone to get theirs. They say they may get a mixed shipment at first and have to sort thru them all to send out the specific G0 orders.

The point being no one can guaranty the G0 stepping yet as long as Intel has B3's sitting in their warehouses.
Seems to be just a waiting game for the people that don't need or don't know to snatch up the last of the B3's.

Come on people buy, buy, buy as I myself am getting impatient as well. I've been waiting since early March myself,  CPU is the last thing I'm waiting on.
