$350 for a proven 4770K (good batch) + a good Team 2400MHz kit (double sided Hynix, should do 2800+)

Was there a bad batch? I was planning to wait for the 4770 instead of 3770. Whew.


No, not in the regard you probably mean.

Batch # of the CPU indicates which manufacturing plant, date, and wafer it came from.  People track which batch #'s overclock well on low voltage and attempt to track down chips made in that same location and even from the same wafer as it is often a good indicator of how well the chip will do.

Haswell seems less consistent across batches than before though, back in the Core 2 days we hunted ravenously for E8600's with batch code Q822A435 (I still remember it from that long ago, shows how good they were :p) and they were worth $1000-$1500!

I've been drooling over that board too. I just built an itx-gamer. p8z77-i, 3570k, 8gb 2400mhz, gtx 760, samsung 840, lian-li pc-q25. I have been thinking about selling my mobo,proc,and ram so I can upgrade.

You're going to love that itx, so small yet so powerful. I want the new vi impact mostly because of the sound card. Good luck with your build!


Nice build!  More or less what I'm going with.  Will be open on my desk until I get the money for the CaseLabs case and all the water cooling stuff.

Before buying all my stuff for my next rig, I figured I would see if I could take anything off your hands!

I will be looking for less-than-retail (NewEgg, Amazon, MicroCenter) price of course.

I can pay PayPal (Gift for people I trust) or Bitcoins. Tons of Heat and eBay feedback under forty6_two

Looking for:

i7 4770K (Share batch number please!)

Asus Maximus VI Impact (open box, etc, just fine!)

8GB or 16GB (2 sticks only) kit of 2400+MHz DDR3. Would love some Dominator Platinum but could be talked into others.

MSI GTX 770 Lightning (I already have the block for it, but could be talked into another good 770)

120GB+ SSD (Samsung Evo, Sandisk Extreme II, Seagate 600) and would love to buy a pair of them. Other drives are possible, PM with offer.


I am located in the US at 55072. Let me know what you have and what you want for it shipped!
