Q6600 G0 hotter than B3?

[MarcVenice]

But you are reading the spec sheet wrong, that's all there is to it. Read my post 2 posts up. It's not the heat being put out, it's the heat the CPU can heat up to, under a certain load, before it will start malfunctioning.

We can't shed light on it because it isn't true...you don't know what you are reading in the spec sheet and you refuse to listen to the advices given on this thread.

Sorry if no one told you what you wanted to hear. This is hopeless.

Is it just me or has there been an influx of new members who post false info almost to the point of trolling?

Not saying this is, but it's something I noticed lately.

The evidence to support your statement is not in the Intel specs IMO...
AFAIK there are no tests showing the actual temps of G0 and B3 at the same speed, everyone seems to be making assumptions based on the power draw (which is not a bad basis for making that conclusion, I must admit).
But I'm glad if I'm wrong, I've postponed my purchase (waiting for G0), I just want to make sure I'm not waiting for a processor that doesn't overclock as well as B3.

And please guys, I just saw something interesting in the Intel spec sheet, and wanted someone to shed some light on why less power draw potentially means more heat (I can't figure that out... )

Welcome back again.

OK, I did actually find a test that has some temperature measurements included,
http://techgage.com/article/in...me_qx6850_quad-core/10
They only compare QX6850 and Q6600, showing that QX6850 runs ~2 C hotter under load.
If you look at the intel spec sheet, the temperature curve for 130 W processors (QX6850)
indicates that they do run about ~2C hotter than Q6600 (105 W B3).
So there is strong correlation between the spec sheet figures and actual temps,
and I refuse to believe G0 should behave any differently (until I see some real measurements, not just assumptions).

They run at different speeds you idiot. The faster you run, the hotter it will get. At the same speed the G0 will run cooler. Hey, want to buy my B3 Q6600 ? $300 and its yours.

Thanks for your kind words... of course they run at different speeds, my point was that the Intel's specs and actual results correlate (as shown in the test I provided the link to).
Anyway, it seems I'm just frustrating both you guys and myself, so I leave this topic for now, and wait for someone to post some real results (temps, that is) with Q6600 and both steppings

Well, I am sorry ! But after 10 people try to tell you the same thing, you keep twisting the numbers to suite your own needs. Some would call this trolling, and it does border on that. Please listen to the rest of the world !

What a bunch of hayseeds....
- read same Intel processor documentation and determined G0 stepping would be cooler, consume less power, therefore, generate less heat, assuming same clock, hardware, etc.
- from my tests, comparing QX6700 B3 and Q6700 G0: (power: 302watts vs. 269watts) (coretemp: 176f/80c vs. 145f/63c) (CPU case temp: 143f/62c vs. 123f/51c), respectively

:laugh:

He wants a B3!

Well, i guess being different can be fun, & hey, at least Intel will have one person who wants their B3s, unlike everyone else
