How do i get an M0

Im about to buy a 2.8C M0 but im not sure of all the places to get one at. Only place I see on pricewatch is memorylabs that has them for 230, but I have not heard of them. Also what are my chances of drawing an M0 if i just ordered one from newegg this next week?
 
It's just random luck unless you know someone that brought a 2.8C from them recently. Even then, they may have some old inventory laying around. I bought a 2.8C from them back in February. It's a D1 from the Phillipines, and it won't break 3.3 ghz lol.
 
The mo really make a differance with the 2.4C most can do 3.3 amd some more. But even with good stepping its still luck of the draw!
 
Yes, I think you shouldn't be so concerned about getting an M0. The overclock depends on the silicon, and though it might be cool to own a failed P4EE, it's just luck and quality of CPU in the end.

And yeah, I own an M0. Got it at Newegg.
 
m0's also have 2 extra layers of metal on the die, some people say they are more tolerant to overvolting.

getting an m0 does not garantee you to have a awesoem overclock. theres 2 ways of looking at it, either you got a 3.2ee that failed the cache test, or you got a 3.2ee that failed the frequency test. in the event of the first case that good because you have a cpu that will run at 3.2, in the even of the later that bad because you have a cpu that wont run at 3.2 at the default voltage of the p4ee's 1.6v.

i got lucky finding my m0 that runs at 3.5@1.6v, too bad i need to rma my motherboard cause it flakes out at 291fsb :(
 
well from the looks of it, I think my chances are better w/ a 3.0C for a good overclock. Im really considering building a watercooler as well for the cpu/gpu/nb, so id like to get a chip that will clock as high as i can resonalby go, w/o spending a ton, or having to try out multiple procs.
 
yea go with the 3.0C
i used to own a 2.8C M0 and got a big ass OC of 3.33 with 1.75v
good thing i sold it and got this 3.0C:D
 
i got my 2.8c today, it's a D1, i'm pleased, i haven't tried OCing yet but it should be good :)

what is your fab week and pack date?

if you don't knwo the fab date just put in the fpo/batch number
 
mewannafastpc, Iwannayourfastcpu. "Now hand it over!" Ack, I'm so envious.

Sorry, if the exclamation disturbed you. Just needed to get that out. Ahhh, 3.9 on air, must be nice.
 
hahahaha making fun of my name???
it's cool
not on air it's
it's koolance so it's just a bit better than air but a hell lot quieter
it was my first try with water so wanted something easy, but now im starting to regret that i went the easy way out..
not that this setup is horrible it's not giving me temps as cool as those other guys with customwater
 
well it's all the same....well they work on the same principle
have a waterblock that absorbs heat a water pump to pump the wtaer and a heat exchanger to take the heat out of the water

my waterblock isn't as efficent as some custom blocks that you can buy at Dtek or Dangerden.
and my pump is weaker...i dunno what the rating is but some can pump like 317 gallons per hour!!!
my tubing diameter is smaller restricting waterflow somewhat
the heat exchanger (radiator) is the one thing i think might be working ok, but the way the fans are arranged on the radiator could not be the most efficent way. some say you should have air pulled through the radiator the fans are pushing right now. and i can't turn the fans around it'll mess up air flow around the control board for the water system

that all adds up to like 5 or 10C difference from the other setups
 
I have an M0 2.8C that does 3.5 GHz at 1.55Volts on stock cooling. Not shabby for a 2.8C eh?

Anyways I have tried and re-tried to go above 3.6GHz but the bitch wont cut it.. I gave it 1.6Volts and still no luck.. now the crappy part of it all is that my mobo does 1.68Volts only (after the 1.6V option) shall I try running it at that much voltage especially considering that i only have stock cooling :(
 
I actually have a 2.4C M0 that will do 284FSB (3.40ghz) on stock voltage, and will do 292FSB at 1.55v... I'm pretty damned sure this puppy would do 300+, except that I can't get it that high on my current motherboard.

I'm very tempted to sell it; quite a few people are looking for the UBER high FSB's that these puppies can pump out. Not bad when the ol' 2.4C is outclocking a lot of the 3.0C's...
 
I'll sell you and MO. it wont go over 235fsb to save it's life, even in my Vapo.

A chips a chip. My best chip was a C1 did 315fsb. Costa rica and all the wrong date according to everyone who belives in the chip Fairy.

I go through 10 P4's a month. I dont see any thing better in the MO's
