Core i7 920 rev D0 stepping 5 :)

[overcrash]

One can Only hope the i7 D0s will have similar spectacular results as mentioned above.

My G0 Q6600 did 433x9 on Air with 1.48v
My Q9650 did 510x9 on Water
My E8600 does 485x10 on Air
My i7 965 did 128x35 on Water (4.48 GHz)

If a D0 i7 920 can do 4.60GHz and above on Water I'll be ecstatic

It could and would do 4.6ghz but not for other than bench, for 24/7 4.3-4.4 is more probable i think

The thing that impress me is the temperatures... and it's not even 32nm. Wow.

[YukonTrooper]

Many of the big names on this forum have mentioned D0 will bring a considerable temp drop and increase in overclock headroom. Plus, one of Intel's guys basically confirmed such when he said it's a different game now because AMD has turned up the heat.

That's reason enough for me to believe that D0 will be at least a 7/10 on the satisfaction scale.

[moorfang]

I DROOL on the performances of the D0 in this thread.

[Theansweris42]

wow this actually kinda makes me regret jumping on the Microcenter deal a month ago when I started buying parts for my new build...

No biggie. You'll be able to sell your C0 and buy a D0 without much of a loss.

[Solarfall]

impressive scores so far criminal..any plans for subzero ?? would be interesting to see how far you can go

I agree with you........

the temps are wrong

[Leeghoofd]

Bobbylite don't be so negative, this is evolution not revolution... no idea why your posts reflect this negative vibe you seem to be at...

[crazyea]

I am also very happy with my 920. Batch # 3841A534.

Done at 23c ambient with a TRUE. Specs Below.

lol okay, so the op shows coretemp and its known to be wrong and you have people saying wow look at the temps and I correct them I will be excited when I see a retail chip. Rumor spreads like wild fire around here, just trying to squelch some of it. ES chips almost never clock like retail, and they are used like a hype machine. Good day sir.

thats BULL. look at andreyangs i7 retail.. 5.3Ghz. E8600 retail.. beats ES..

[Splave]

I didnt say they never clock better, I said they never clock like retail. Getting my butt handed to me in this thread, I feel sorry for all of you getting your hopes up. Obviously I hope they clock better. Im stuck at the dreaded 222 bclk, I doubt d0 will reslove this though.

[RPGWiZaRD]

FUGGER told D0 would bring lower temps/power consumption and remember the 965 5.0GHz on air clock? Also the i7 are gonna be found in a laptop soon, with current heat/power consumption it would be totally impossible to use such CPU. Remember Q6600 was it B2 or B3 that was the hottest running and such improvement G0 brought? Intel can do very drastic improvements sometimes with a new stepping. However max bclock I don't think will change pretty much anything.

That is enough for me to believe D0 will have progressed in these factors. Max clocks I don't think will improve drasticly unless you're the person that don't have enough cooling that is, then these new D0 would allow for higher OC b4 temps are starting to hit back and prolly with slightly lower voltage than before if PC's sample is an average one, so basicly I think D0 will offer most improvement for aircooling users (maybe easier to hit stable 4.0 ~ 4.3GHz clocks on 920) while DICE/LN2 users might not see much higher results than before.

[rioja]

so what the difference with first stepping, +200mhz?

[Kensek]

I'm hoping for 300-400 MHz Increase. My old i7 920 could do prime stable 21x200. and could bench at 21x210.

I'm hoping for 21x220 at least.

[ReverendMaynard]

good old C0 goodness.

[DerekT]

Indeed sir, you are a bastion of negativity. To misquote Donald Sutherland in Kelly's Heroes.

Don't hit me with those negative waves so early in the release of D0.

wow, let it go. You need to check out some Bill Hicks stand up and learn how questioning everything is valid.

Revelations OR Relentless running on loop for about 12 hours should set him straight!


Remember kids, "It's just a ride"

Sooo Sweet.
So why don't we have a hope that the D0 will clock higher ( BCLK 400 and 5ghz on air ) and cooler than the first one 20c ah and also cheaper 125Us.
Who knows someday it happen, just don't hope that you can fly only superman can do that.

400 blck would probably not happen in the i7's, but maybe 300 when they go 32nm? Always the possibility as the process is refined, but let's looks forward to lower temps; i7 the way it is now (D0 or C0) is definitely thermally challenged.

[unclewebb]

Starting with Core i7, Intel writes TJMax information into each processor. Intel actually calls this information TJ Target and actual TJMax can be a few degrees different from that number, typically higher. TJMax is not an exact science so reported temperatures will never be exact.

The Core i7 C0 sensors are far better than the previous 45nm Core 2 sensors. They don't seem to have much slope error and TJMax might be off by a couple of degrees but nothing major.

If you don't think that Core Temp is reading the TJMax information correctly then you could try RealTemp.
http://www.fileden.com/files/2008/3/...alTempBeta.zip

You could also use a program like MSR Tool to read the model specific register 0x1A2 bits[23:16] where Core i7 stores the TJ Target information.



My Q6600 doesn't show anything here but a C0 Core i7 should show 64 in these two digits because 64 hex = 100 decimal which is TJMax for all the early Core i7 that I have seen.
If 5C is in that location then Core Temp is right; TJ Target is 0x5C = 92.

I don't think that Intel would deliberately low ball TJ Target so software automatically reports lower temperatures.

PcCI2iminal: If you have time can you try running one of the above programs to clear this up. Thanks for sharing your new toy with us.

I7 is still in high demand (especially if you sell yours for lower than the retail/new price out there). It will be SOLD almost instantly. You can get some serious cash to help you buy a D0 one.
