This is what the batch number means: 3 = costa rica 1 = the year 2011 50 = week 50 so some when in December B465 = position on waffer. Hope this helps.

Core temp states it's an "engineering sample".

No,i meant he must be using an ES,but he has just stated he's got a retail,even though i was under the impression that "retail"chips are not officialy released till the 29th,apart from "official" testers.

You must have an ES sample,retails not due for release till 29th.

Ivy has been supported since F10 bios,or before as far as i know.
