Wow, shes beautiful
fire it up and overclock that sumofbich
Is it just me or any retail B1 i7 980X I've seen is from the exact same batch ? 3003A957
Seems like it
Mine is too the same Batch ;-)
My X5650 B1 (Q4EJ) is different, an older one from last year. Batch# 3951Axxx.
These CPUs will most probably have different OC headroom for different batches too, but it remains to be seen. That's the most exciting part with a new CPU, actually.
Best start keeping track of the batch numbers early.
It's one hell of a mess with older i7 batch numbers on XS. I wish I made it a requirement for my LinX club by now... :(
Yeah, it is a good idea to watch and track batch numbers in a systematic manner.
The art of batch-tracking is actually half of the art of Ocing, in these days ;)
Mine is 3003A957 also...
I see all 980XE Retail still 3003A957.....
Looks like we can't pick batches for now... we only have 1 choice :p:
is that a good thing or a bad thing?
I just picked mine up and it's Batch #3003B287.
In NL 1st batch is 3005F215.
B-batch? Interesting to see the OC headroom on this. Hopefully it is like the first i7-b-batches. Where did you get this?Quote:

Looked at the egg today , you gotta go combo deal to get one there :(
I saw that as well. That's why I bought it elsewhere this time. Looks like they are trying to sell some of the RE II Extreme mobo stock before getting the RE III Extreme in.
same here in germany - today we have to test 2x 3005F215 under cascade... :)Quote:
