Seller Listing of D0 Stepping Core i7 920's

dude that's way too much vcore!! I'm running on air and only needed 1.318vcore 1.35vtt for 4.20Ghz and passed 50 LinX and 12hr Prime and rock stable playing 5hr of COD WAW. Try to reseat your block and lower your vcore...

1.37v? I think you're overreacting. That's the amount that is needed for stability, and it's well within reason. I reseated my block, but temps didn't drop at all. I get a stop code 101 after only 10 seconds of linpak with it turned down to 1.34. I've got a better block on the way, but I think you just have a better chip than I do. My load temps under LinX don't even get as high as yours. The highest I see is 80C, which is on core 1. The max temps for the cores are 80/77/78/76 with a room temp of 19C and YL Meds on my rad.

Edit: I also have my uncore at 3.6Ghz@1.31v. Not sure what yours is at, but it could potentially be adding a bit of extra heat/exacerbation to the situation. I can bench with it (uncore) at 4.05Ghz@1.36v, but it only passes 2 iterations of LinX before throwing a stop code 124 BSOD and doesn't seem to improve past 1.36v.
