So i got my 920 today from EVGA. It's a D0 batch 3950A421. Any of you know anthing about this batch or one near it? I coudn't find anything. Also, what are your guys's batches?

refer to lower post/my opinion on it.
i haven't seen to many high over clocked 3900's yet..not using ln/le/dice/cc/phase (more speculations of course)

Yeah. I've had several runs with CPUZ and such were bonkered from CxE and such. Just one of the many little obsticles we run into as an overclockaholic.

Oh, btw. You're over 121.xx right now at hwbot.

i had to stop till i could figure out this stupid 3900A batch(my 975 and my 920). some say they need to be broken in by getting them super cold. (not sure about how true that is)

Great! You bought it from evga? I didn't know they sold cpu's. My batch is 3913B222. The sweet spot is 217. Sometimes 218 will work , but mostly not. 219 worked once for me on two 3dm06 runs, but I've never been able to get it there again. I Think my cpu is about average as far as 920 D0's go.

No i didn't buy it from them, LOL.

I won it from the Intel Chat. Check back a page or two and you'll see my original post of me saying i won an i7.

I also got some Kingston HyperX 2000mhz cas9 6gb from my local TigerDirect for $173 (they pricematched Frys). And now i just am waiting on my Classy e760 to come, which should be here friday.

i was trying to get that same ram from frys, but they said it's discontinued.

i was going to use it as back up ram. i ended up getting the patriot 1600 mhz

That sucks.

Is it still on the website? When i talked to a guy on the phone from Tiger, he said they match the website if instore pickup is available. It was, just not at my local store, so maybe i lucked out and they didn't dig very deep.

I like Tiger better anyways. I also consider myself very lucky to live in a place where there is a Tiger Direct, Frys, and Micro Center, all within 20min of my house.
