^ more important then your bin number.
Because if you got a C0, id take it back.
*LOL*
The first batch of D0's proved to be good OC'ers, but after that the pattern show good and bad D0's...just like there is good and bad C0 OC'ers.
That is the second time I see you post garbage, why is that?
because maybe if you pay any attention to the trends, on average even a bad OCing D0 will oc higher than if it had been a bad ocing C0. it's pretty rare that a stepping change ever yields CPUs that dont OC as well, since having higher OCing chips also means higher yields, since chips which work fine but may not make the cut for 920s as a C0 might make it as a D0, due to the increased clockability. as a side effect, your good chips will clock even higher than before, opening the doors to higher clocked SKUs or lower prices on low end to mid range SKUs since you can make use of chips that otherwise might get thrown out to increase your gross margins, and in turn turn those savings out to the customers as well.
