no i've gotten a D0 the last time i ordered from newegg too. But the price is a big thing that microcenter has that newegg doesn't

So that's cool, since MC lets you select from several offerings if you're in the store.

Yep... if you get the right sales person... they will tell you every batch they have. If they have any in the old boxes please pm me!!! I'll pay you to get one for me. :)

Everyone -- would it not be strange for such a monsterously high volume retailer like Newegg to still have C0s in stock? I got a D0 Oct. 4, 2009, but then maybe they like me best....

i've heard that the 295 takes like 9 lanes, but i can't back that up. and at microcenter.com you have to pick the closest store at the top so you can see the i7.

i checked microcenter online and they dont even have it listed, and there is one around here about a 2hr drive, hmmm decisions... anyone getting one soon from micro heh? anyone know if the gt300's will max out the x16 lanes? i read somewhere that the 295's almost use either the full 8 lanes or 16 lanes, anyone clear this up for me? reason i ask is i plan to SLI in the future and with the 300s coming out.

hopefully evga wont come out with new mobos reflecting the i9s even though it is 1136.

I9 is 1366 socket

there have been people running the i9 test version only on the classified. So i'm thinking that we won't have to but new boards. I don't know if i'd wait though. You can get an i7 920 do at microcenter for $200. If you don't live close to one thats no problem as many members here do and often post when they are going. At that price, you could sell the i7 once the i9 comes out and really not lose much. and the 275s don't even take the full 8 lanes, so you don't have to worry about the 16 lanes.

looks like ima hold off till the i9, hopefully evga wont come out with new mobos reflecting the i9s even though it is 1136.

can anyone still answer if you can run sli in pcieslots 1 and 2 under x16 (gtx 275s)?

In that config, the 2nd and 3rd PCIe slots will be running in 8x, so it will be 16x/8x/8x. However this will not affect the performance of SLI 275's, as they run fine in 8x mode.

As far as memory goes, my personal favourite is the Corsair Dominator line, however any Corsair, OCZ, Mushkin, Gskill memory are good. I do recommend just sticking with a 6GB kit though, 12GB will make it harder to overclock. Also 1600Mhz memory is the sweet spot, to give you enough headroom to get up to 4.2Ghz+ overclocks, without being 1866 or 2000Mhz which can be hard to get to run at spec.

So just go for a good brand 6GB 1600mhz tri channel kit.

+1 totally agree.

I prefer the Corsiar Dominator line myself, but any of the ones listed above will do you well.

SLBCH is the CO and I think the DO is SLBEJ... its on the specs on the box... You can also call microcenter and tell them u want a 920 do and they will make sure u get one...

Re:Planning to Upgrade need some advice =]! (iNFAMOUSJACK)

Thu, 05 Nov 2009 04:12:59 GMT

how do you know if you get the D0 or C0

Re:Planning to Upgrade need some advice =]! (barnhartmd051977)

Thu, 05 Nov 2009 04:03:28 GMT

he's talking about the i9, that is do out next year sometime...

and he is right about the 920Co vs the 920Do

920Do will OC much better

If you wate there will be a 6 core comeing out 12 with HT the 920 DO clocks better than the 920 CO with less voltage.

Prolimatech

expedision

Dominators are overpriced get some Mushkin Redlines. You will be able to run 38mm fans with the PM.

only 10 dollar difference, and i already have two 25 karma scythes on the prolima as push and pull, im sure it will fit with theboard imgetting.

Hey all, im planning to upgrade from a 790i to a x58 SLI: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813188046 and an i7 920: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819115202&cm_re=19-115-_-19-115-202-_-Product ,i will plan to OC hopefully to 4 ghz, i curenntly have the Prolimatech Megahelms in apush /pull config and wondering what best RAM would go with this mobo? im practically replacing the 790i mobo and e8500 in my sig and am keeping everything else.

one more question is if i put it in SLI (with a dedicated 9800 gt for physx in the 2nd pci slot) with 2 gtx 275's on the 1st and 3rd PCI slot will it run under x16 on both, if not will it affect any performance?

thanks for any help =]
