Recently core 2 Quad q6600 processor , model QX6800 passed from stepping B- 3 on G -0. The result of these changes will become the lowered cooling systems requirements , which will be set on processor , since TDP is reduced, the maximum case temperature now compose 64,5 c but not 54,8 c as in earlier stepping.
For normal operation with the updated QX6800 version a bios updated is required . Some user witch tested the new G -0 stepping , communicates that this last will open new overclock horizons :-) .
New QX6800 stepping G -0 and 2,93 GHz frequency will be put on the market in the middle of July.
