Caddy Daddy Posted October 25, 2009 Posted October 25, 2009 Hey guys, got a i7 940, the stepping is C0 i think here is whats on the box. S-Spec: SLBCK Batch #: 3838B124 from what i have read around the web this is a C0 stepping cpu and thus dosent oc like the D0 steeping. . wanted to build a rig that will hit 4GHz at least, from what i see these c) stepping cpu dont go that far. I live in the Bahamas so sending it back will cost me. Should i keep it and oc it as far as it will go or pay the money, send it back and get a D0 steeping cpu. thanks Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caddy Daddy Posted October 26, 2009 Posted October 26, 2009 Problem solved. Have a friend that is doing a build who had a i7 920 D0 stepping cpu and he dose not oc so i traded with him. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
slick2500 Posted October 26, 2009 Posted October 26, 2009 I would have tried it just to see how far you could have gotten it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

MJCRO Posted October 26, 2009 Posted October 26, 2009 (edited) Yeah aren't C0 stepping's for 4 GHz on most, but they run hot, I'd just worry about heat! Edited October 26, 2009 by MJCRO Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd take the spare multiplier over the claimed heat. Plenty of C0s have been known to be great OCers. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
