Core i7 920 rev D0 stepping 5 :)

[drnip]

Just got my rig dialed in, a Do w/ Classified 760
tuniq tower 120, air

Personal record so far:

231.41x21

HAHA nice! You got to love those B027's!

[roller11]

Nice clocks roller11 ... are you still using that D0 B027 which you were planning to RMA back to intel or is this another D0?

Basically, the replacement D0, 3845B026, has identical performance as the 027. So it's a tossup which to keep, both max out (so far) at 4859 on air.
THe 026 needs about .05 V more for the same clock, but runs cooler. Also, I ran prime95 sustained on the 027 at 4263 Mhz at 1.184 Vcore, I have yet to see what the 026 can do. If it's close, I'll probably keep the 026 cause despite higher Vcore, it runs cooler. [ I did an advance replacement from the retailer who sold it to me, so I've had both for a few days, Intel isn't involved.]

4.2ghz @ 1 hour Prime95 small FFTs. Not too shaby.

Indeed, not too shaby at all! Very close to the results I got with my B027,
keep up the good work, thanks for sharing....

Man Roller, I wish I was able to do that. I cannot seem to get anything over 219 to boot and nothing over 225 once I am in Windows with the Classified and that's with 1.5v for both vcore and VTT. I am still playing with it, but it is frustrating. I may just put the Classified up on Ebay and go back to the BR, haven't decided yet.

[crashmax]

No offense but I think you must mean "3847A821" as there is no 3874 yet.

You are right! Thanks

Yeah I think I can go just a tad bit lower on my 4.2ghz Prime95 run as well as my max 4.85ghz CPUz. I think mine and yours are about neck to neck. Great chips though!

[roller11]

drnip,

Your advice please...I have two chips, a 027 and a 026. The 026 needs 1.41 Vcore to do the 231.4x21 validation, the 027 just 1.34. But the 026 runs cooler in all things at the same clock even though it needs more volts. I have an outstanding RMA so I must send one back. Which chip should I keep?

[crashmax]

The main issue if you overclock a i7 is heat. So my advice is to keep the cooler Chip! And to be honest, 231.4x21 is very god for a 920

[foR]

I'll be buying the 920 in Australia soon, can anyone suggest a batch I should look out for?

[ajaidev]

Air. Lots of it!

That looks like a wind driven go kart

If you can live without the $$$ spent, why don't you just keep both? If not, I would probably keep the lower vcore one. You can always upgrade your cooling for better one later on.

027 and a 026, that's a good question.

I may be able to choose between several D0 soon, and wondering about the same. Any pattern for good D0-batches is emerging yet?

You guys who have been following, any advise about A, B or which week/batch# to look for?

If you can hand pick one, go with the B batch...not a 100% garantee, but just little bit safer.

For now...

[emertX]

Anyone interested in this one?
I wanna sell it...

What batch# is it?

[hlonipha]

I'm I in the ball park with this score? How could I improve score?

What batch# is it?

3850A795

[jcniest5]

It looks like B batch does actually OC a little better from the few CPUs we've seen so far.

[road-runner]

Got my Classified and W3520 Batch 3848A352 together late last night, I also install the heatkiller 3 block. So far so good, now to go higher...

I will be picking mine up this Saturday...the only problem is the guy has hundreds of these things... he said I could pick which ever one I want.

What are the best Batch #s

thanx in advance

Go with any B batch you can find and especially one with the last three digits as close to zero as possible...but in general, any B will be just little bit safer than A batch. Good luck and keep us posted...

I spoke to him and he told me he has B batch....I'm gonna look for a 027 or lower

[drnip]

027 is a nice one as well as the 026.

Actually, I just pulled the trigger and order this Pao's B batch. It's 3849B, though...unlike the 3845B above.
