LBBLE 0520CPAW

LBBLE 0519 EPDW

LBBLE 0517 EPAW

Assuming all are new, and are E3 revision of course. Which one looks like the best stepping. (They all look like good solid steppings actually..)

I was thinking the LBBLE 0517 looks the best, but want everyone's opinion before I pull the trigger.

Cooling will be either a Scythe Ninja or an XP-120, and I'm not sure if this will be for me or not... :) . Thanks.

Do LBBLE 0519 EPDW Only
LBBLE 0520 CPAW is very bad I OC 3200+ only up to 2550MHz!
LBBLE 0517 EPAW is older than LBBLE 0519 EPDW

Well from what I've seen, the closer to week 15 you are, the better.

But I decided to get that 0519 anyway, along with an Opty...

week 17 EPAW without a doubt... one of the better steppings. One of my week 17 3000+s was a 3 Ghz chip :)
