So this is Batch L038A789 S/N 2V035198A2553 and S/N 2V035198A5600

One CPU does not post in windows with 4.3, other one stops at 4.4, 4.5 freezes up all the time... no matter the voltages etc... luckily the client only wanted 4ghz stable :p

Keep them results coming lads
Yep, I can confirm that. Got an L038A789 last week, and I can't go past 4700MHz on 1.44v , which is pretty damn terrible. I'll probably try and RMA it to get a better one, I mean my luck can't get much worse than that.
