Time for some Global Domination, and maybe a new set of sticks

If you don't mind my asking, how.where did you get three chip's from? have you just purchased x3 or where you able to RMA? I'm waiting on a mobo, but I had quite a shock finding my 2600k received today is a Batch#3103B307 out of Costa Rica. There doesn't seem to be too much information on this batch and til I get my P8p67 Deluxe I'll be in the dark. I got spoiled rotten with my last chip an E8600 that fired up @ 4ghz the first day and I haven't touched it since(in fact it won't even post at the default 3.3) I just sort of imagined this one hitting 5Ghz on air just like the last, it looks as if my expectations where perhaps a bit unrealistic, I'm sorely tempted to go batch hunting while I wait for my board but...there really isn't enough data to roll the dice on a specific Batch, unless anybody here has some idea's. Oh and I just realized I may have messed up on my Ram. I grabbed Gskill last time but the Corsair Dominators were on sale @ Newegg and I bit, I hope I don't regret my hasty decision.
