So a week 45 and a week 49. Does the actual batch number after the letter "B" matter?

Also can you please recommend a motherboard as well? I had these 3 in mind.
Foxconn Bloodrage (the original)
Gigabyte UD7 (I do not know if Sata 3 support means anything right now? )
EVGA 760 Classified

Thanks!
Hard call. Looking at my Ci7 OC Spreadsheet, there is a 3845B259 at 4.2GHz 1.25v, and 2 3849B040, one at 4.2GHz @ 1.25v and another at 4.2GHz @ 1.37v - that's the only info I have on either batch.

Yes the numbers after the 'B' matter - the whole batch number is important.
