Okay I am curious... is there some number listing, batch ID, crop #, roll mark, etc... That Intel places on the box of the processor you get that will give the consumer an idea of what place in the wafer the CPU came from?
To my understanding the closer the center of the wafer the chip is cut out of the better the quality and higher the OC you can get. I am shooting for 4.8-5.0 range on an I7-2600K with a Corsair H70 or better cooling solution. I am going to hope to do so on an Asus Max IV Ext mobo. when I can land my grubby fingers on one.
Anyone happen to know what to look for. I will cherry pick if this is the case.
Thanks!
