We were at MC last Sunday and my Brother bought one of this same batch but he hasn't the time to let me assemble his rig yet (he is complete newb to PC assembly so I will have to put it together for him). We were there because of the 20% saving MC is having until 3/1 and I urged him to buy new stuffs as his current PC is getting pretty old and slow. He bought the MSI X58 Platinum SLI along with an i7 920, a 9600GT, Kingston Value PC3-10600 (DDR3-1333) and few other stuffs. I will be putting it together for him this coming Saturday so we'll see how OCable this batch can be.

Meanwhile, I got myself a 3844A361 and it seems to take less voltage to reach the 4.2Ghz than my 3837A769, which I bought upon launch (last year). It also seems to OC better, too.
