fulamak..46inch lcd with full hd somemore..jeles jeles

make my 42inch plasma look small

then my 22" look tiny la..

any kangtao for i7 920/940 proc????

I suggest u to take 920 D0 stepping, much cooler & stable than C0/C1 by huge margin.
Sadly couldn't find any shop selling D0 in mainland. GZ no stock, PCD old stock, blablabla shops don't even sell i7 proc

ya saw ur screenies over at another thread...

D0 can do 4.2-4.3, while C0 3.9-4.1 depends on ur cooling...

C0 is hot !!!, while D0 is cooler while also hot...

oh ya, owikh, ur temp using lower by how much using true120 compare to using it on C0/C1 chip...

hmmm...... maybe i'll wait till coolice comes to penang then ... rite now i dont really see the need for i7 yet as i am currently not converting any videos/mp3s... might start video converting soon after i get my settings in my mediacoder optimal

can i know wat is the sspec for d0??

i7 920 c0 = SLBCH
i7 920 d0 = SLBEJ

but i would definitely wait for core i5 to be launched ... lower power consumption, works with ibexpeak-based chipset mobo , dual channel ddr3 and a few more new features ...
so i'm sure the price of the cpu/mobo will be lower than current i7's

wats the point going for i5 if i already have a q9650 and a ddr3 mobo? thats not really an upgrade for me.... might as well i go for i7 terus btw thanks for the sspec info

yeah, i thought so too ... i alrdy thought that u would consider it as 'not an upgrade' path
but to me, due to the different socket of i7 and i5, someone upgrading to i7 path will have to stick with the 'high-end' proc/mobo instead of the mainstream proc/mobo of i5 later on. (e.g:cheaper)
with i5, more choices will be out for u in the future as it's gonna be the mainstream proc ...
and there'll be even more choices for u when the westmere-based cpu's are out

D0 uses lower voltage that's why it's cooler than C0/C1. eg.
TRUE on 4.0Ghz, C0 = 1.375v (82C max), D0 = 1.262v (75C max)

@ iBenQ
yeah, i7 920 D0 = SLBEJ.
WTF Penang shops duno what is stepping!
U hv to ask for the "box label" and spot the SLBEJ

@mmohdnor, wwwwwww... well one thing for sure is, i wouldn't even think of downgrading ... so i dun mind sticking to i7

@owikh, 75c temp did u mean core temp or cpu temp? i guess 75c is a lil too hot for me... im planning to keep it under 65c, i wont really oc till 4ghz,, 3.6ghz shud be enough for me

Core temp, recorded by RealTemp soft
For me, anything higher than 90C baru scary... and as long as it's stable.

its not about the proc im worry about ... im worried the heat will heat up my room instead @@

Normal lar
I7 is one hell of a heat nuclear

yeah.. i own hottest room among my hsemates..~!

I see a happy man here

Yeah, ur room needs a good airflow too.
omg it's time to clean up my dusty ceiling fan

dats wat im worried about... but if 60c lidet can la

can't show off yet. my cooler sux, thought i could get away with ultima 90i and i was wrong. at 3.8ghz only my idle is about 53ish and load 85ish. crap. gonna do something with my cramped up wee CM mystique casing and the cpu cooler.

guys, any good place to find the cheapest TRUE in penang? how about precess or swiss in BJ complex?

You guys make me feel so OUT. My rig wasn't upgraded since 1 year ago, still with my old 17" LCD, nothing has changed... budget constraint. Now that I'm working, I don't even have much time to game let alone spend time OCing. *sobs*
