The people at Newegg said that if both revisions were on the stock shelf when I order, they couldn't guarantee which one I would get. And... that I wouldn't be able to specify beforehand which one I wanted. Hmmm.

I'm thinking about buying this processor from Newegg, but wondering if there would be a chance that I might not get the revision (D0) that I want. If I receive a 'C0', I wouldn't like having to pay duplicate shipping to send it back. Anybody having this problem?

Just wondering how 'push/pull' works. I.E., which way do the fans surrounding the CPU cooler point? Does 'push/pull' also work with the radiator(s) associated with liquid cooling? Thanks for any input.

Still torn over the heat issue with OCing the i7-920. One source claims a stable OC at 4.2 using the Thermalright Extreme 120 CPU cooler for the 1366 (B) socket (using 2 Yate Loon 120's) w/ Asus Rampage board. He's doing this with 2 ATI 4890 OC cards. Source claims that air is all I need...

So..I've decided to OC the i7-920 to 4.0 using the P6T deluxe V2 mobo as reference. I'm going the LCS route, as I've included dual GTX 260 SSC cards in the mix, with 6 gigs of Corsair Dominator memory (1600). I'm sure the northbridge will be stressed with this combo. Should I include a...

OK. So it's a 'NO' for the Thermaltake crap. Then, if Swiftech, how do I find a case where the rad and attached fans fit on the inside of the case? If I purchased a plain Thermaltake Armor + case w/o the LCS, can I put the rad/fan setup on the bottom where there is space for 2 aux. 120mm...

Looking for a review of the Thermaltake Armor + LCS case. I am coupling it with the i7-920 overclocked to 4.0 with Asus P6T Deluxe V2 board. To my understanding, this case is not ESA compliant, so I think I would need a third party source for CPU temp readings if the mobo doesn't supply this...

Doing a build and would rather not do air cooling for the CPU due to space limitations caused by bulky coolers like the V8, etc. Looking at the Thermaltake Armor + LCS case, but can't find a review. Doing the P6T Deluxe V2 Mobo, i7- 920 (to be overclocked to 4 Ghz), GTX 275 ( 896 -single) VGA...

Anyone have any experience with this brand? A Microcenter tech recommended the Galaxy DXX 1000w model to me, but I'm sceptical. My initial thought was the Corsair 850w to run the i7-920 w/V8 cooler overclocked to 3.66. Possibly a GTX 275 GPU. Asus P6T mobo. Goal is 1920x1200 res. Other...

I am pondering a GTX 260 card with GDDR3 memory and a GTX 275 card with DDR 3 memory? Both are 896 cards. Which would be the better card for the i7-920 w/V8 cooler overclocked to 3.66 coupled with the Asus P6T mobo? Looking for 1920x1200 res from a 23" Samsung monitor. 1st person shooter...

I'm building a new system with the above CPU and intend to overclock it to 3.66. What graphics card would be ideal for this build? Going with 12 gigs of Corsair Dominator RAM, Corsair 750W PSU and Asus P6T deluxe Mobo. Is the Radeon card going to work better than nVidia, or is it an apples...
