No problem. It was just weird that you seemed to have one that was made in 2003!

Week 16? Unusual.
You do have an excellent CPU there.

If I'm not very much mistaken I believe the only ones we have seen so far have been week 9, 10 11 or 12. All of a sudden an (apparrent) 4 week gap. Interesting.
Maybe they were on holiday.
On a more serious note perhaps this is not a coincidence that your CPU overclocks so well. Maybe something significant changed in the manuafacturing process. Perhaps CPUs from week 16 onwards are different/better builds. This is all just speculation and cojecture at this point. We need others with Week 16+ plus 9850 Black editions to test.

Has anyone seen or does anyone have a 9850 Black edition with a batch of weeks 13-15 of 2008??

Just out of interest Psychlone how well/poorly do your other two Phenom 9850 Black editions overclock with the same setup?
