Hi,

I want to buy a core i7 920 but I would like to have the D0 stepping as it OC's better. How can you recognize it when not installed in a pc? Is the stepping mentioned on the sticker pasted on the box? I asked the shop where I planned to buy it, but they told me they deliver from several stocks so they can't garantee wich stepping it would be. If it is mentioned on the box I can offer them a little help finding it :kaola:

Thanks for any help

On s-spec it should say "SLBEJ" on the white sticker on the box. Then it should also say SLBEJ after the batch number on the cpu IHS, at least somewhere on the IHS ;)

Thanks a lot for that very useful piece of information.
I will see what they say about that over at the shop :D
