q6600 core position

[darckhart]

Hi all. I remember reading on this forum that the cores for the quad were aligned something like so:

0 1
2 3

but being noobish I can't figure out the reference point. So if I'm looking at my quad with the notches at the top and the slightly raised bit are like so ---|, which way do I rotate those numbers? Thanks.

I've been looking for this info for two days. The cores are 1-2-3-4. See the image at: http://www.driverheaven.net/reviews/Q6600/index.php

Although I'm not certain the image is an official Intel numbering layout.

I'm surprised Intel wouldn't rotate one wolfdale die 180 degrees relative to the other one just to better distribute the heat across the IHS surface.

.0..1.| L2 L2
L2 L2 |.2..3

edit: formating is an exercise in futility.

lol... i always get the orientation mixed up to

im fairlly sure there stacked when mounted on the board like this:

3
2
1
0

The front part all being composed of cache.

that would mess up the C4 bumps...

the image linked on the second post is correct.
