So should I even try to install it?

We should also post batch and serial numbers from the Costa Rica plant. So far on first page there are only two CPUs from the Costa Rica plant. Got a 3332B365 batch in my hand. Wonder how it OCs.

I have a L039B120 with A2046 (last 5 digits of SN#) that can do 4.945Ghz using 1.40V. I could go higher but my crappy HSF isn't up to the task so because of high temp, I don't want to. http://valid.canardpc.com/show_oc.php?id=1711903 Was that C batch obtained from Micro Center as well?

At what vcore should we start being afraid that it would just kill the CPU?

I have that batch as well and so far it needs 1.50v+ to run at 50x100 (5Ghz) stable. Anything less then 1.50v results in BSOD. To me, 1.50v for 5Ghz is simply too high.

Hey, can you update me how well yours OC? I saw this same batch at my local MC and if yours OC past the 50x100 (5Ghz) with lower than 1.45v than I'm going to get it. If not, and if it needs 1.50V+ to run at 5Ghz, then I will pass. Please let me know. Thanks a bunch!
