No your chip is rare. I had 3 C0's and the best I could do was 3.9ghz at like 1.375v without turbo. You would not get any benefit by getting a D0 because as far as I can tell you have one now. To get that 3.9ghz I used a EVGA board that had some very cool voltage controls when using turbo. However, this Rampage is really good as well.

So I was right... it was like that before... so basically all D0s are better than any non-rare C0s? or almost?

Hey, but is the equivalent of i7 920 that they will sell later this year? is there even one? like with the i7 975 line-up...

This is the D0 920... the 975 is a D0 965. No word on a new stepping.

Oh so there will be no other chip? awesome

that means i7 920 won't get outdated too fast...

Now idk what to do.... I decided to wait for DX 11 cards to buy a rig so waiting till July... when is i5 comming out? what should I do? wait for DX11 Cards to come down in price so get a new rig for christmas?

Anyone want a D0, $420 on Evga forums. Little out of the price range, but still an available D0.

hell I will sell mine now for that :eek:

Ordered a i7 920 D0 for 274 euro's (363.3788 U.S. dollars) including shipping.

Should be here in about a week...

Can;t wait!!!

Speaking of yours. I'm wondering what yours will take to do 4.2GHz. I've got a bit of a theory that most D0 hit 4.0 easily and then it gets a LOT harder after that.

Binge · May 1, 2009

Anyone in the states who needs/wants a D0 PM me I've got a hot lead.

Any Dutch shops offering D0's that you know of?

I have no clue, sorry mate.

Here is a thing, a strange thing, might be a simple explanation I am missing, whenever I try to go above 4.2gig with either turbo on or off, either HT on or off my bios/PC does a restart on re-boot after BIOS changes and auromatically defaults to stock settings (without the logo startup screen, so not a CMOS re--load) any idea's? it's not temps or voltage, it cant be because I can bench at 4.2gig on well under 1.35v with HT off, it just will not have it no matter what settings I put in, I can even try just a few Mhz above my 4.2 that is stable with just one incremental voltage increase and she wont play. Have tried turning thermal management off also and that dont help. ohhhh I have tried all this on both the 19 and 20x multi, my 4.2gig stable is on the 19x multi so it's not a base clock limit.

Binge · May 1, 2009

I've been seeing some similar results, but I blame my bios being a beta. The version before this I used would let me get as high as 4.55GHz.

Hmmmmm strange, it does not really affect me too much as realistically I cant bench fully on anything above 4.2gig on air in any case but unless it's sorted it is not going to be much fun when I go H2O next month.

It's may due the QPI link speed being too high, 7.2GT/s at 200 baseclock create many stability problems.

Thank you, I will try to downclock the divider to see if that helps.

work with QPI x36 and try to use 21 cpu multiplier.. also lowering memory multiplier will gain stability too

1st boot....

SystemViper · May 1, 2009

whooooooooooo, a 940, it will be fun to see wht that baby can do! :rockout:

n-ster · May 1, 2009

will 940 justify it's price ?!? oh wait... 1.52 V

I think I may have put too much Hydrx in my loop. I put about 2/3'rds of the 2oz bottle in. Looks like it is slightly foaming.

Binge · May 2, 2009

Did you clean out your radiator first before running your loop?

blTb · May 2, 2009

Finally my new computer is done.
Performance is just crazy, comparing to my previous builds!
Didn't want to push my baby too far(i'm still using stock cooling), but anyway it's almost 20KMarks!!!
