Decided to build a i7 920 machine, OC to 4.0. Need a good CPU, and was told get one from a good batch. So, ask MBytes what batch the i7 920 is,as I have a batch list of 920's that OC to 4.0? What say you? Thank You for any advice.

99% chance youll pick up a 4.0 920 easily regardless.. In the long run it's knowing what your doing with that cpu to achieve that freq.

Thank you. Time to hit the over clocking books.

Good luck mate! with a mid range air cooler with HT off you shoudl have no issues

Grab a V8 - you won't be disappointed.

Great advice. Bought a Noctua NH-D-14 Cooler last year. Saving for a MB, Vid card, Ram & CPU. Got a nice Cooler Master Haf 922 in MB paid waiting to be picked up. Buying a peace at a time. So far, 4 x 256 SSD, Raid card Adaptec 5805. Corsair HX 750 PS. My job dive bombed financially, thus have to save my nickels and buy when a deal arises.

Grats on 5805, good choice! Retail or ebay?

The great computer portal of Kijiji! The guy I got the card from is super hard core OC'er. He's got a lot of hard drives in his unit. Going to try to get some new employment to get me some i7 action. Plus the new Nvidia cards out very soon.

Better get a Kw psu if you wanna run more than one of those home heating cards.

A space heater, just in time for summer!

LOL!!!! I just got it.. took 3 beers though! I do need an extra heater for the home office. will I need a loan just to finance a new Nvidia SLI unit? I think the ATI techs can take a years vacation so Nvidia can play catch up.
