    Just got back from Microcenter. Bought the Asus P8P67 Deluxe and a 2500k (I game so I don't use hyperthreading anyway), the batch is L040B354. From a few threads on other forums I have gathered that L040B is a better batch than L041B.

    Other people weren't that happy. Because without a reservation it was hard to get one!

    Ouch, no overclocking for you :/ Good that you got a processor though. I drove 40 minutes to MC, got there right as it opened and there were already 30 people ahead of me. MC staff didnt say anything till I was right at the front and then mentioned "oh we dont have the 2500k or 2600k in stock". They had only got five 2600k's and ten 2500k's in stock...

    Batch #L039B214
    I just got home from the Microcenter in Richardson, Texas. I have the same batch as you (L039B214). I did not pick up a motherboard yet. Do you know what "revision" your batch is.. Basically, I'm just curious if all of the 2600K's share the same D1 revision?

    I just ordered from NewEgg for 329.00, MicroCenter didnt have a P67 board I wanted so I would have to wait for the board anyway. Cost me an extra 50.00 but the 180mile round trip drive would have cost 30-40.00 in gas, and taken 4-6 hrs to drive depending on the crazy Northern VA/DC traffic.

    Damn i also realized that they gave me the 2600 and not the 2600k. So i went back and of course they where out of the 2600k. So i just bought the 2500k and gote the money back for the 2600. I was really unhappy

    Man, I feel for ya, Buddy. I had a user paying me to go and get him a Bundle of 2500K with Asus Pro version, but the Pro was OOS! Ouch!!! Web orders got them all. I felt so bad that I wasn't able to get what he wants.

    However, he decided to just get a CPU now and the motherboard later. So, I got him an L040B batch. Had he posted this thread earlier on Saturday, we would have accomplished what we needed to.

    5am this morning on microcenter site I pre-ordered my motherboard, but at the time i couldn't pre-order any SB cpus...
    Good thing, in a sense, 2600k were sold out, or i wouldn't of listened to logic of saying save $100 go with 2500k

    Of course I saw dozen or so 2600k at the pickup area

    I will post results as soon as possible. Went with the overnight shipping, so if snow doesnt screw up the delivery time I hope to have it running Tuesday night.

    I will feel like real nub again on a new platform.

    try flashing to this bios http://www.fileden.com/files/2009/12...p67aud4.6x.zip

    and look at this video for OC setup. If you use LLC1 you should be getting the same volts in windows.

    Also enable PLL override in CPU settings

    I am having a strange issue maybe somebody could help me out. I have the UD5 and 2600K and am sitting here linx stable at 4.5 on 1.25 volts. As soon as I choose anything over X45 multi it just keeps rebooting at the screen to hit delete to enter bios. I am on the latest beta bios you linked.

    Sam you should start a thread when you can find out more results using different batches, Would be good for comparison..

    Another thing I find funny is AMD/Intel would snipe any of our Moms on a grocery run if it meant good quarterly results, and you are forever whining about what feser did?
