What are the chances?

for $239.99

What are the chances of getting a D0 stepping? Is it worth it? Going from c0/c1 to D0 I've gone through many forums and a lot of people seems to have better OC, lower voltage; what about heat?

My rig is now watercooled, clocked at 3.8G (1.28V / 181*21) with temp from 37-42c; depends on ambient temperature. I also OC'd this CPU up to 4.0G stable with LINX (20) and an hour of Prime95 for one hour at a Whopping 1.45V / 191*21. Don't know if that really means anything. But i don't like it.

They should all be DO by now.

Should be but that price seems a bit expensive, check Newegg, can`t you get them at $200 flat?

You're thinking of Microcenter, in-store only. Newegg wants $280 for them.

I wish we have Microcenter in Seattle. I did get an email from one of the sales rep and they only have SLBEJ. 😀
