Nowadays you should just get the i7 930. It is about the same price at least here in Finland it is. And it features a bit higher stock clock speed, which makes overclocking a bit easier. ALSO, it is only D0, so you are guaranteed to get a D0, there never exists such a thing as C0 i7 930 :). Unlike the i7 920. D0 is better.

@eatmefaster  which one has the unlocked multiplier? cant you OC both of them?

[2fast1996]

dude, u know wat ur doin......its crazy how u know so much about the chip....good work.

[benneb07]

Gonna get the i7 930 :P

[eatmefaster]

@benneb07 Waste of money i7 920 D0 can OC to 4.2 if you get lucky and 4.0 easy if you have a decent cooler.

Ok. any experts know the difference between Intel Core i7-920 and i7-860?

860 seems like a clear choice because of the .5ghz extra "max turbo frequency" but other than that, anything different?

[eatmefaster]

@Anton338 Unlocked multiplier and its on 1156 motherboards.

[TheSuperiorAce]

Is thermal spec the max temp it can go?

[Eclipezz]

i just bought the i7 920 (D0) along with Asrock x58 extreme 6gb triple channel 1600mhz ram and i will be using my 2x old superclocked gtx 280's until gtx 480 come out hehe

[EverythingTobacco]

Nice setup with the white background. Nice unboxing. Good job.

1:35 SLBCH

First thing that came to my mind was SLutty BitCH

[MyazXtr3me]

Your holding it pretty dangerously there.

[kodemunke]

How so?

[MyazXtr3me]

your fingers were touching the back chip.

[kodemunke]

Ok, why would that be a problem?

[MyazXtr3me]

static shock

[dchains]

It's best not to touch the back of your chip not only due to static reasons, but the oil on you finger that can prevent the chip from making good contact with the socket.

[freakwipe]

@kodemunke hmm, it can only break your parts? :D

[chrix94]

@kodemunke omg ofc its a problem, u wil fuck up the pins

[crissglitch666]

@MyazXtr3me HAHA! Big mistake.

[MaliDachi]

be careful with touching it like that lol

[kodemunke]

It's not as fragile as you think.

[MaliDachi]

You know sometimes when you toach a car and you get a little electric shock. Spark+chip=bye bye few hundred bucks

[kodemunke]

That is why you touch a piece of grounded metal before you touch any kind of electrical hardware. My body was perfectly grounded before touching this CPU.

[MaliDachi]

A cool than, i thought noo dont toach it like that bro hehe. Take it easy

[MicH1g4N]

Does the packaging include thermal paste? Or do i have to buy it separately if i go for the i7?

[kodemunke]

The stock intel cooler comes with thermal paste already applied to the base of the cooler.

[karkrashful]

called a thermalpad

[TheMRamstaff]

nope a thermal pad is not the paste on intell cooler the thermal pad is the pad u put on ram coolers to stick it to it and it is not as heatconductive D:

[SeeN0More]

what about the intel quad, does that come with thermal paste?

[kodemunke]

If it comes with a stock intel cooler there will be thermal paste pre-applied to the stock heatsink base.

[kimrari]

thanks for the vid. Came in handy!

[kodemunke]

No problem. That's what I'm here for.

[wireless2107]

expensive

[kodemunke]

This CPU was 199.99 at Micro Center. It normally retails around 349.99.

[CoasterChick22]

nice price you got it for.

[kodemunke]

@CoasterChick22 Yep!

[MaliDachi]

@CoasterChick22 i got mine for 344aud from centrecom.

[bloodytoy3]

i wunt thut

[kodemunke]

Me too.

[Iwantaboa]

were did you get you Intel Core i7? every were i look there are 500.

[kodemunke]

I bought this Core i7 920 at Micro Center. The Ci7 920 is currently $199.99 at Micro Center.

[dopesmoker777]

is it really 199?wtf...man thats a good deal!!!

does microcenter rip people off?or is it a good site?

[kodemunke]

Yes it is $199 and Micro Center is a great company. They have some retail stores across the USA. It is a GREAT deal by the way. The 920 is about 100 dollars or more at other places. As far as I know when you place a order online you have to pick it up in a retail store. I don't think they will ship the product to you but I may be wrong.

+1 Subscriber :) good job!

[kodemunke]

Thanks.

[Willjin]

Oh damn, I'm inspired to build a new pc now :-[.

[kodemunke]

I am inspired everyday to build a new one. lol

[gamster109]

thx soo much u saved me from buying a non d0 stepping version!!!! thx again

[kodemunke]

No problem man.

[bigdima3]

i have this shit and this shit is awesome , i dont no how to overclock tho

[kodemunke]

This CPU is pretty sweet.

[1981z28camaro]

is there really a big difference between the C0 stepping and D0 stepping?

[kodemunke]

Not really. The D0 is just a newer revision. If you are planing to overclock the Core i7 920 I would suggest the D0 stepping. It has more overclocking heardroom.

[swatpartner]

have the 965 :)

[kodemunke]

That's awesome I wish I have a 975.

[swatpartner]

to be honest, when thinking on the price difference (here in Sweden though) it's not worth it, 3.2 ghz vs 3.33..with a simple overclock you have your 965 as fast as the 975 :)

If you get the chanse to get the 965, take it ;)

You can find one in Ebay (in new condition) they have auctions sometimes so you can get it pretty cheap :)

[kodemunke]

This 920 was 216 US dollars at a local retailer.
