I think the bigger the later (ABCD) and the numbers after, the better :p the A916 do pretty good!

The B batches in the C0 do well too


Actually, there is no rhyme or reason to i7 batches. I'm on my 7th different i7 chip, CO and DO, A and B batches. No consistency at all.

idk :p it seems A916 do very well, and B batches do better for C0.... IN GENERAL though :p If I have the choice, I'd opt for A916 D0 all the time

Decided to go on some last runs with the C0 before I get my D0. Seems this chip can do 4Ghz if you push it.

Raising PCI-E frequency, even by 1 Mhz, gave me BSOD's almost instantly. Super high QPI voltages didn't do well either. Above run was with 1.28v QPI and 1.6v RAM, other settings on auto.

Don't mind the excessive vCore, that's still my dud C0 chip.

Tried booting with 210x20 but no good. 200x21 actually doesn't fail in 1 minute.

Package has been in "phase 1" since the 30th... stupid TNT:shadedshu

EDIT: I'm testing 21*200 at the same voltage settings as I did on 20*200 and it seems to work... Still requires 1.475 vCore (1.440 in CPU-Z) and 1.280 QPI volts though...

The run above lasted for 45 minutes until I stopped it. No BSOD whatsoever...

I was told by someone at OCN that my cpu clock problem was a Windows 7 bug? Anyone notice this or not. I did go back into my Vista HDD and the problem stopped happening, or does Windows 7 have a power saving option that I am supposed to turn off so my CPU multiplier stays locked into place?

I'm a bit befuddled at my temps so I'm working on better cooling for my i7 before I play with a 4.5GHz run.

Sucks how these threads can go pages at full steam then just drop dead one day. :ohwell:


EDIT:

Mudkip, I love the sig. Short, Simple, to the point! For the Win!

Just plugged in, everything auto.
Stock voltages under 1.000v, I'm going to like this chip:D
