SB-E [C2] Stepping
- Thread starter inSilica
- Start date
Note quite, an QXXX s-spec codes are used only for engineering samples. According to the product change notification PDF in the OP, QBV9 is the S-Spec of the C-2 3930K qualification samples. The S-SPEC etched on the retail processors will be SR0KY.
It is a bit vague at the moment as OCUK don't have stock so can't say what stepping the new arrivals will be when they come in
As I have the money, I was tempted just to order now, but was advised that this would be a bad idea as the wharehouse will ship the order as soon as the cpu's come in, and no-one would be able to check what the stepping was and make sure I get the correct C2 version
Will update if I hear more

I'm quoting rjkoneill from the watercooling thread which was made last night
... maybe reading too much into it but could be part of the stock?
My stock landed today but I have been busy setting up tech labs stuff and in meetings
They will be on the website tomorrow, expect an announcement thread from me.
Also, expect very surprising prices

yea I saw this too! Could explain why some competitors including OCUK are just flat out of stock.
It will probably come with a gagging order in that case ... which explains the silence
Thanks for the info
Surely he is talking about w/c gear, but we can hope...
If you can link to the thread, it would be appreciated as Im at work so have to be a bit careful..
I rang this morning and they also said hopefully next week.
I'm doing two identical builds, one with a 3960X and one with a 3930K. I'm hoping to OC both past 4.5GHz. It'll be interesting to see IF I get a C-2 3930K if it OC's better than a C-1 3960X...
I'm getting the X tomorrow, VERY EXCITED to see what it can do (-:

I've been hitting F5 all day lol (sad)
You are probably right, at least we'll know it should definitely be the new revision i guess? Although OCUK are pretty good with stuff like that anyways huh!
There is no reason for it to cost more than C1, effectively its a limited production + limited replacement of the C1 with the C2
whoa - is the stepping that significant that they are changing the name? wow!
I think the 3939K was a typo, and that the original author didn't check for typos before copying the first entry. Simple mistake to make, pressing "9" instead of "0" 
If the name were changing, I would think that 3935K or 3940K would be more likely. Just an opinion though (plus that is the only place I have seen 3939K mentioned - even posts I have seen from people with samples only call it 3930K )

And going by this logic the 3960X should be replaced by 3939X.

maybe it is meant to be the 3969X ???
how can two different processors have the same name?
(im so confused)
one is 3939X (we know as 3960X)
second is 3939K (we know as 3930K)
... as far as I can see
