STAUNCH

12 week (17-23 March) and 15 week (7-13 April) are pretty good ones with a chance to be good (batches info). Dunno, still lookup for results on the net, Google the exact batch numbers. Here is a comparison table.

Today received 4 e-mail replies from 4 diff. PC local stores. They gave me these batch numbers that have in stock: X: L419B602 Y: L420B822 / L425B405 Z: L420B822 U: L419B627. Seems that in my country all batches are crap, l0l?

Batches matters. … So generally people that are people *no matter from where* are buying "LQ" batches because of the greater demand.

HV got high price for shipping internationally and less methods. Better choice is meinpaket.de - PP, cards, bank transfer + free shipping (to DE addresses). If you use a 'mail forwarding service' in DE (with DE address that forwards the packets to your country, IT) - then it's the best way and the cheapest. Direct order with direct international shipping from ANY DE/UK site cost sooooooo much money for the shipping. Alright, will think about. The local store have a policy '15 days return in original box, unpacked, no question asked'. Don't forget about this comparison site. Hope it helps and saves ALOT.

Hello, I saw your post and it seems I got the same batch number as yours. I haven't opened the box yet (brand new), still waiting to get CM N600 in the end of the week. Haven't purchased a CPU cooler yet (I'm going to buy Noctua NH-D15, the best one from this company; review #1 / review #2 / D15 club). Curious if I need to return the CPU to the store (it will take 30 days to receive the money, few hours ago have been delivered to me) and purchashing the same CPU from other store or to unpack it and use this one (with N600 and D15)? It's not clear what was the first batch number, store name/country, temps/clocks and the 2nd batch number. The quoted posted above not clear if the results were for the 1st or for the 2nd. Regards.
