i7 920 DO versus cooler

[HHM]

Can I take advantage of new DO-chips with my Thermalright Ultima-90 ?

Or might as well just bye a cheap seccond hand from previous
generation due to being hold back by the cooler (my case is very small)

thanks

Ok then I just bought the cheaper CO/C1

What did you mean take advantage of the cooler?

Thanks for answering,.. hmm,.. actually I asked the opposite

My slim-lime case limmits me to the cooler mentioned, now reading some
threads seems to indicate that a new DO stepping 920 is brilliant, can go
some higher than CO/C1, but at the expense of more heat, and therefor
only makes sense paired with the best highend coolers, True 120 etc etc

So for me with slightly smaller cooler the question was obviously if the DO
did make much sense, or I might as well choose a CO/C1 all considered

I ended up just having a cheap seccond-hand CO/C1 stepping for around
155 £ ,.. the auction ended and I had to bid before any answers came

I understand now, the original phrasing confused me somewhat, granted, this has not be difficult recently.

Nice price for the CPU.

English is not my spoken language admitted ,... yes good price ,... its been
running 4 GHz with a True 120 by the previous owner, not sanded, for shorter
time its been running 4.3 Ghz, but not prime-solid,.. thats all I know,.. next
step is getting a cheap UD5 and 6 x 2 GB Ram
