mine is 3941B077
pretty curious to see how far it goes
3941 B047, 21x200 4.2 stable at 1.4core 1.96 pll 1.35 qpi. Max temp 63c. In my opinion not an outstanding example.
All dimms occupied
max qpi link
HT enabled
3924A
21x200 @ 1.31v
+150mv VTT
1.35 PLL
1.3 QPI
1.7 vDIMM
PCIE @ 101
Just picked up a 3941B047 as well.Quote:

4.0ghz @ 1.21V
4.488mhz @ 1.425V
4.640mhz @ 1.425V (not stable)
My motherboard is Asus P6T deluxe with beta bios 0006
Memory G-skill perfect storm 2000mhz
Perhaps a slight exaggeration?
is it me or is itt really that increasing batch number makes CPUs less exiting, the first batches of D0 used to overclock better than current batches and uses less voltage!
I have a D0 3923A and I need 1.36v @ CPU, 1.22@ QPI/DRAM and 1.81@ PLL just to reach 4.2GHz, if I want to reach 4.4 which is the maximum I could achieve with my R2E then I have to ridiculously increasing voltage as following:
1.46@ CPU, 1.32 @ QPI/DRAM and 1.89@ PLL !!
That's with Blck 210, any thing higher than that and it is very instable at any voltage also any thing higher than 213Blck and the PC won't POST.
I have to add that IOH and ICH needs a bump in voltage also.
I think that INTEL could be binning better i7's as Xeons more nowQuote:

The odd part is that some people say report that oc Xeon Bloomfiled
is the best, and some apparently not. Still luck of draw, no doubt, as CPU's are definitely unique.
Other than that, when can we expect to find batch "C" 920's?
Batch "C " !?!?!? :confused:
DO you mean XXXXCXXX ??
I got a 3941B092. Since i m on stock intel cooler atm , the best i could achieve is 21x182 @ 1.20v (3 passes of LinX, stopped after cause of 87C on core).
I wouldn't even consider overclock 100 MHz over stock speed with a stock fan.Quote:

From your experience guys, which one is better, Please note that there is a price def. 100$ for the xeon.
Yes, but no idea if it exists or will exist.Quote:

Core i7 920 D0

FPO/Batch# 3918A495
OK guys, I'm in the market to buy me a new single slot Geforce to use it as a physX with my CrossFireX 4870X2 and I came across these :
a Xeon for 440$ :

and a 920 for 320 $:
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v6...3/IMAG0002.jpg
Is the 120$ worth it ? I'm not sure really.
Also any word over these batches ?
I'd go for the 3918B083 stepped chip.
I have the 3923A batch and I'm not sure is my R2E limiting me to 210 Bclk or the CPU doesn't like any thing higher than 210, I don't want to burn 320$ just to find out it is a mobo issue !
But again there is no way to tell other than switching the CPU!
3845B260 @ 4.881 :)

Finding the next 19MZ to get 4.9Ghz a slight challenge.....
Don't tell me that's on water !!?!?
Water chilled to 10 deg C :) Won't do that with HT on though;)Quote:

Did take me a while to find out how to oc the i7 architechture, coming from core2. Once I got hang of qpi and pll importnace my voltage could be reduced from 1.35 to 1.2v. I'ts mounted on a MSI X598M board together with 6 Mushkin 1600MHz sticks. Board does 225 BCLK with mem slots fully occupied, very nice board for that price! Gonna drop a better cooler on it and se what we can do. Is there any need for lapping the i7 cpus? My old q9300 dropped 8c when giving it a overhaul with 1200 paper...
what's your qpi and pll volts now ?Quote:

In a perfect world the auto function would know the specific character of my CPU, but I guess they rather trow in a bit too much on the qpi when going on high bclk and staying "safe" on the pll (wich are rumoured to kill CPU's). I did some quick research and lowered the qpi to be a bit closer to my intended vcore of 1.2v and landed on 1.35v. As for pll even Intel states that 1.8v is fine, so I changed that to 1.8v. Then I just throw a session of Prime95 and started to lower the vcore in windows with the MSI oc util. Landed on 1.2v, you can imagine my joy when I continued to lower the voltage and the primesession kept on going... :DQuote:
