Got my I7 920 C0

[savage70]

Hello fellow OCCers how u all doing? I finally made the jump to I7. I got a I7 920 C0 stepping. I was wanting to know who all is running the same processor? And what speeds u running at? Is this a good choice for overclocking?

Well, I have the i7-930 DO and this thing OCs like a beast! 2.8 stock up to 4.3GHz stable so far, over 50% Overclock is amazing! Under water of course. But these cpu's can usually get to 4GHz on air! Needless to say, I'm very happy

You should have no problem hitting 4.0. You may need 1.27v - 1.3v to hit that 4.0

Good memory would help as well

i was amazed these days all you need a voltage bump and a big cooler for 4ghz, let alone a quadcore breaking the mark. i had such a hard time getting 600mhz extra out of my 3000+ 754skt

C0's do not overclock as well as D0 stepping. They also need a considerable amount of voltage compared to a D0.

Very true. I'm uncomfortable leaving my 920 running at above 3.66 Ghz 24/7. Voltage just sky rockets after about 3.3 GHz from what I remember.
