Hey are any of you guys out there with the big overclocks on sandys (4.8 to 5 ghz plus, myself included) worried that stepping B3 of the sandy boards will limit overclocking in any way?

Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.

I seriously doubt it.
1. Nobody is changing the layout of the motherboard. They're just using a drop-in replacement chipset with a different stepping.
2. The motherboard used to be a major factor in overclocking (mostly in terms of power delivery and FSB build quality). But now that all serious overclocking is multiplier-based, and Sandy Bridge sips power, the difference in overclock from one board to another will be very small.
