i just bought a Q6600 for newegg.com and i received a B3. I am just wonder whats the difference between them.
If your not overclocking, then nothing. But if you are planning to OC, then you wanted the GO.
As far as I know the GO is cooler and overclocks easier than the B3.

Is B3/G0 the stepping or the revision?
G0 = stepping.
i am planning to overclock a bit so i can get a better fps in fsx. I plan to clock to about 3.3 ghz. will i have any problems with the b3?
What cooling are you using?
G0 are more power efficient, which results in lower temps at higher clock speeds. Basically it'll OC about 200-400Mhz less than a G0, still OCs like a beast though, I wouldn't worry too much about it.
I have a G0 E6850.
Its nice.
Its nice.
It just requires more voltage, and thus more heat. You can still OC the same amount as long as heat doesn't become an issue.

lucky bastards
anyway im using a stock cooler right now. I'm getting temp at 50C stressed and 40C idle. Soon ill get the freezer 7 pro i just need to rma something

Me 3, but I had to bump my VCore to 1.4V to run stable @ 3.6, still though, the CPU fan doesn't even turn on!xGj wrote:
