Core i7 920 rev D0 stepping 5 :)

D0's are the new G0's!

**psyxeon** · 03-12-2009, 02:03 PM

I´m not so sure!

$320 + ship... so more like $330, vs. Amazon's older stock @ 270 shipped and newegg @ 288 shipped. I went with the 'egg just in the slim hope of getting a D0, but at the least I should hopefully get a newer stock than I would have from Amazon. Placed the order about 5 minutes ago, it will be here tomorrow or monday depending on when it ships

Tell us what you get anyway. You can return in for a refund if its not a D0

I'll be keeping it regardless, but I'll let you all know

... it is due in Monday since it isn't shipping till tomorrow (Friday).

My i7 920 from newegg just came in, pack date 1/14/09... but it's a C0 revision (SLBCH). Oh well, was worth a shot

I'll see how it clocks tomorrow once my Asus P6T (vanilla) comes in.

**PcCI2iminal** · 03-16-2009, 02:06 PM

the new D0 works great on RE2 with an old bios (the first retail realease :P)
im trying to push it hard but for now what i got is bclock @ 222.3MHz

same limit as 965XE C0

**Mr_Slinky** · 03-16-2009, 02:20 PM

PC, what temps were you hitting with the D0?

**PcCI2iminal** · 03-16-2009, 02:32 PM

the real temp and core temp shows very low temps
room temp @ 22c
TRUE + 120mm ,3600MHz @ 1.2v (idle)
delta @ 1c-2c for the lowest core and delta @ 3c-4c on the highest core

full load is hilarious ->52c(delta @ 30c)

Please do a clock for clock bench between the C0 and D0, I think Intel could've played with the L2 cache timings again.

**overcrash** · 03-18-2009, 01:47 AM

Anyone seen D0 sold anywhere, I was wondering is it released or is just Fud

**Avan** · 03-18-2009, 06:13 AM

TankGuys is hopefully getting them in 23 March.

People with pre-orders with us should get an update e-mail today - but our new ship date is 4/1. We've had some issues getting this allocation this time around, unfortunately. It's actually really tough to get orders like this through, so we're doing everything we can to get this moving.

Mostly interested in temperatures. My C0 doesn't need much vcore at all but gets crazy hot. 4Ghz 1.225v would hit 100C and throttle on air and still goes a little over 70C for water. The 21 multiplier is completely useless to me getting higher clocks because it drops to x20 as soon as the temp hits 80C.

Something is wrong! 24/7 for my C0 920 is 4.01Ghz, 1.184 Vcore and I'm seeing only 46C at idle, maybe 55C tops in games (RealTemp). Even the stock HS should do better than that. I've witnessed a 920 that looked normal, but it would get up to 60C pretty quickly, it was obviously defective. You either have an overheater, or your cooler is severely deficient.

Its an overheater as at least several of the mounts were very good. To put it in perspective the stock cooler at default clock and vcore set to 0.95v would prime in the 80's.

BTW games are not going to heat the CPU up much.

is that with QPI slow mode?

**ewitte** · 03-24-2009, 12:11 PM

How does Intel RMA work? Its obviously either severe amp leakage or bad IHS contact. Even with the stock cooler you shouldn't have to undervolt to keep it under 90-100C. I was excited this one runs with such low vcore settings but the heat has been a big issue even on good watercooling because the x21 multiplier throttles as low as 80C.

**Falkentyne** · 03-24-2009, 12:39 PM

ewitte:
RMA that chip. its defective.
I think that's clear now.
Intel won't refuse an RMA for that. .95v for 80C prime....obvious defect on the IHS.

**ewitte** · 03-24-2009, 01:14 PM

Thanks may check with Micro Center to see if they would swap it first. Not sure because it may be over 30 days now. I just kept upgrading my cooling until I was on water lol. Crap I was even checking out LN2 prices in the area LMAO.

EDIT: Quick question this chip is one of the best with low voltage I've seen. Would it be a better idea to void the warranty and remove the IHS?
