I'm still waiting for better mb's , when the time comes to buy the cpu , I'll get the highest week I can find at a shop,[some had week 13 last week]
some guy's are still getting 2011 chips from the net. L15xxxxx
x213xxxx =
-year 2012
-week 13
as most ib users[95%] are in a under volting competition @ 4.5, $350-$600.00[cpu\mb] systems with a $29.65 dollar cooler ,it's hard to tell what batches are better ,but to me the newest batches you can find can't hurt at this point.
