920 DO or 940 CO?

Which chip would you choose from these 2 if you could have either?

920 DO 3841A

or

940 CO

Got a P6T Deluxe, HK3.0, OCZ DDR3 PC3-16000 Blade 6GB

Under water and hoping for a decent oc. 4ghz +

Cheers:)

Forget about 940. If you really want it, get a 950 instead (same price now, I think). Otherwise, 920 D0 will give you the 4Ghz speed you want.

Thanks guys I wasn't sure. 940 CO reviews seem a bit thin on the ground.

The 950 would be nice but out of my price range, I have the chance to buy a the 940 for vitually the same price as the 920 DO which is why I asked.

Get the D0. I had a 940 C0 back in November, it wasn't bad but most D0 now beat it.
Only reason to get the 940 would be if your mobo couldn't handle a decent BCLK, like when you had a Smackover for example :p:

Just make sure you watercool that NB, as the P6T Deluxe's stock cooling is so underdeveloped it's not even funny.

Thanks jcool, I was considering the MIPS or BP NB/SB waterblock until I read that NB temps are not a prob on the P6T Deluxe!

It's easy to come across so many conflicting reports on here!

I works great with water on the NB, I usually use the Mips Fusion block, but recently I did a build using a Tower-style air cooler, cse with good airflow (LianLi Armorsuit) and SLI - guess what, the NB was overhating like mad, over 80C at 200BCLK and 1,2V NB during prime. needless to say it was impossible to get 200 BCLk stable without improving the cooling.
