I think that explains it... what shops can I buy from that will sort and give me a D0 i7 920?

just get a Xeon W3520 is D0 guaranteed and better bined than Core i7s
tankguys.com has the D0 stepping back in stock. I just ordered mine with 2 day shipping. It was $319.99 + $20.03 s/h = $340.02

Wow, that's about $60 more than the current retail price.
To some people is worth it, that or wait 4 more weeks until they become mainstream
Lawl. Thanks for the giggle.Otherwise, I suppose we can discuss how the latest AMD phenom 2's will be kicking i7-920 arse in a few weeks.
Please, read the OP and stay on topic..... mmmmmmmmkay? Otherwise, I suppose we can discuss how the latest AMD phenom 2's will be kicking i7-920 arse in a few weeks.
that's normal. It's the same way on my C0 920, so you got nothing to worry about. Just make sure you load temps gon't go too high and you'll be fine.
Really? 10c difference? Well then... Short of water cooling, it doesn't seem like I'll be able even keep this d0 at 4ghz when it starts getting hot. All because of that one core really.
Thx for sharing your impressions with us, Have you tried running at stock speeds and see for the difference in the temps across the cores? Would you think that the problem is that the cpu IHS is concave making the temperatures discrepancies? I have had this problem on my C0 build, had to lap the IHS but that voids the warranty. I don't know how important is that for you but i think is too early to jump onto a new revision. May be E0 or 32nm imo.
It is kinda proven to be a great overclocker. To some that 60 bucks is worth getting to 4.3+ with no snags...other it dont
Well this is an artificial high, in couple weeks you can get it for $270 shipped at retailers with fast inventory turnover. So the question is if its worth to be ahead of the curve just for couple weeks. , is not like the D0s will never be released to the public and generally later weeks tends to perform better than earlier weeks.

You can lap a cpu with sandpaper and some good patience it'll help you reduce temps but voids the warranty. I've lapped 2 I7's and saw some drop in the temperature, but you have to lap your HSF too.

Wow.
OK then. So ya, I'm gunna try just rotating my heat sink and see what results i get and if that proves fruitless, I'll umm... order me some sandpapper n'stuff.
Thanks for that Fafeifa, it looks like something that could be beneficial anyways. As far as warranty, whatevers. I've never RMA'd a proc in my life and don't even think most of us could qualify for such a thing since we all are about overclocking.

If you are not faint hearted you can always try this but success rate is 25%.
Not sure if the D0s are any different, but for what it's worth, the most I ever see is a 4*C difference between the cores on my C0.
