back in stock at

get um while there hot.

Are you kidding? They've been out of stock all day and are showing out of stock right now. I even talked with Robert today, he said they were having trouble procuring more D0's.

[slapmehard]

well not for nothing it was instock at 5am this morning???

ask robert(?)if he had some at 5 am est.
my order went thuogh so i hope in this case... you snooze you lose?

Bench is the guy to ask about sleep mode. My rigs are on test stands and they are either on or off.

My preliminary findings on D0 in my Classified and BR are interesting. So far, the 3845B027 in my Classified is destroying the chip I got today from Compumusic. It's a later week (3849A846 installed in BR) and I don't know yet if it's the chip or the board. For instance, I need quite a bit more vcore and vtt in BR to stabilize @211 bclk turbo on. I'll try switching chips next. I don't like the way the bios (PO7) in BR automatically boosts vcore when using turbo. Classified does not do that. Anyway, these D0's are much better performers than all 6 of my various C0 chips.

I should be able to answer that question probably by this weekend(Have a BR comming in and already have a 45B027 from tankguys).

It's all in the chip, not the mobo.

[mngdew]

Ah so you're the guy who got that one

I have the same batch, not too shabby so far.

Is yours LinX or Prime 95 stable at that voltage?

[mngdew]

That was my initial run, I could do a PI run but it's not stable yet. So far I have taken vcore to 1.46v and vtt to 1.42v (I think). I have to work so I will play with it more tonight. I am close, so very close, but I may have to back it down to 215BCLK for a daily use, not that I am worried about temps, that I can control.

I have Rampage II Gene, and it doesn't like BCLK higher than 205.

[tripgood]

Mine should be here later today from newegg NJ, warehouse. Fingers crossed!

Did you get a C0 or a D0 from the Jersey WH?

[The Water Dog]

My Do is on his way Monday, so crossing my fingers for a good one=)



Edit: im from Norway

That's good to know because I was considering replacing my Blood Rage with it. Thanks for the heads up.

[tekjunkie]

To an extent yes, but as you go higher in BCLK the mobo does matter,especially with how clean is the power delivery to the CPU. That is one of the main reasons that the classified is setting WRs for BCLK, with the amount of gold in the socket as well as their no of phases/Digital PWM.

Tankguys seems to have the W3520 D0s in stock (but all are D0s!)

[jcniest5]

That may or may not be true...certain boards have cert bclk that they just don't like. I used to own an MSI X58 Platinum SLI that just didn't like bclk 200, yet when I tried 210 and 215, bingo(!!!) I was able to make it work like a champ. So, don't settle for one bclk, exhaust all the bclk's and you may find one that works the best.

Thanks for the info, ordered one and I think all Xeon W3xxx are D0s.

Haha, except I have a standing order from several days ago waiting to be filled with them for one of these. So if he had stock it'd be showing on my order. I ordered while it was showing in stock, so it sounds like you got stuck in the same trap as I did.

Tankguys is a great place to buy from, the usual issue is the expense

i hate when places pull that bs,deceptive sorta.if i get home from work by 7pm i'll call them and find out the real deal.
if its true that there was no stock i'll call my cc compay and put a stop to it

[Kougar]

If you talk to him and he says they didn't have any, just ask him directly to cancel your order rather than through the CC company. Robert seems like a pretty decent guy and would likely do so.

But I agree, the is absolutely no reason their website should have shown in stock when they were sold out multiple times. The only reason mine's not canceled is because nobody else has stock either and Newegg is still sending out plenty of C0's...

[slapmehard]

well i think i'll let it ride a week or so then,since like you said no one has them for sure right now in usa.


edit:
i called and talked to roberto myself he said maybe next week?
the sooner the better.
hey how that guy fare with the newegg jersey wh i wonder?

[mattkosem]

Here's what I get with my ebay chip:


It doesn't seem to scale well with voltage too far past that point, but I think my crappy water block might be to blame.

Huh, Xeon W3520(essentially a i7 920 D0) is in stock @ tankguys.

[ACE76]

I don't understand why more people haven't just bought the Xenon CPU since it is exactly the same as the 920 D0 CPU...it's even the same price at Tank Guys...I'm ordering one now since I don't want to sit around and wait for a 920 D0. Is there something about the Xenon that won't clock as well as the 920 or something??

Aren't the multipliers locked on the Xeons on the Asus boards?

--Matt

[ACE76]

Does anyone here have a Asus P6T6 Revolution board that they are using a D0 CPU on? The strangest thing happened today...I popped my friend's D0 in today to just play around with it and the DRAM voltage was on AUTO but when I booted into Vista and loaded the Asus V Power app (or whatever it's called) the voltage was reading at 1.9!!! I quickly shut it down, went into the BIOS and manually set it to 1.64...once I booted back and checked, it was reading 1.64 like it should have....I'm just wondering if anyone else experienced this. When I put my C0 CPU back and set it to AUTO, everything was fine...weird.

By the way, I flashed the BIOS the latest one which specifically states support for the new stepping...I just ordered the Xenon D0 CPU and hope I don't have to worry about voltages all the time.

[ACE76]

--Matt

The last BIOS revision stated that it unlocked the 21 multiplier on the 920s...I don't know how that affects the Xenons...anyway, I ordered one so when I slap it in and test it, I can report back....all the results I've seen till now, show the Xenon clocking pretty well....I can't remember what multiplier people were using though.

[Splave]

clear cmos? I forgot on first boot an e-leet and setfsb wouldnt change the clock speed lol.
