Can someone point me to a listing of which steppings OC better?
I have the following available
L628A247
L629B098

I've seen people get 3.2ghz with the first stepping but just want to see if the second is better :)

Thanks

29B hasn't really been tested yet. If it is alike to the other B steppings it will be quite good though. My vote would be for the 29B.

Yah thats what I thought but I figured maybe someone had tested one. I know there was a list of good stepping on Hardforums but now I cant find it.

Typically newer CPUs overclock better in general. There are exceptions to this though.

Don't know what mine exactly is but its B2 stepping. Mine goes to 3.2ghz at stock voltage. I can clock it to about 3.5g but it crashes and don't know if its the ram or the cpu.
