Lol thats exactly what I did, was tired of waiting and went for the X.

@ Andressergio, installed the pump last night. I cant really see any difference at all in temps, and have no way to check the flow rates. If your pump is working fine no need to replace it with this. Only thing I see it being better for is taking up less space if you are working inside a case.
Theres lots of 3930K stock in Norway, but its a small country so not a lot of people buy that kind of hardware. I'm happy though :D
If I were into conpsiracy theories, I'd say the lag in 3930K restocking is a ploy to push more 3960X sales
Got one, finally... :)

C1 or C2 really matter regarding overclokcing?
C2 avaiable here in NL today :up:
Thanks! :) C2 it is.
Pretty stable, but it's too early to say. Thanks! :)
Thanks mate! :) I'm very happy with it. Finally I got above the average CPU.
Just a few pictures...

No box for CPU, it came wrapped in a paper. :D Source and price will need to stay undisclosed. ;)
Hehehe... Thanks! :) I like round numbers. It is very good IMHO, 5GHz at low volts, can do 5.2GHz on water.
Compared to few POS C1 samples around here, it does matter, but it's just IMO.
so why not in the US still ?
GOD, this new stepping is the last thing Im waiting for :S Hope they make it fast to the stores, RIVE is waiting :S
3930K: L149B708 (C2). Very simular to my rather avarage C1 chip. Cooled by SS.

I think nothing different between C1 and C2 stepping seem like still same on ocing result :(. any tested with BCLK and Gen 3 on C2 ? I want to see how many different with C1
