the new B3 stepping boards will start shipping within this month , good part is that you will be getting AWR as soon the RMA process starts free of cost.

further the new B3 stepping will have a guidance on the model# thats what i have heard. will get details.
What you are saying is that if i were to buy a B2 stepping board TODAY (Asus of course), i'll be eligible for a free swap once you get the new b3 boards??

I would have preferred if Asus sold the faulty boards at a lower price rather them virtually throwing them away...

Sure you gonna get replacement for ASUS boards as well :)
Let me put it this way. I have this board, say asus the vanilla p67 model. I got it from say Newegg. Would I be able to get a replacement here, OR the replacements would only be for models that are purchased from Asus Pakistan (either Shing or the new 'asus')

Most likely yes :)
Even if purchased from the current distributor?

In that case I dont think ASUS pakistan will be replacing boards bought from Newegg. But i'll update you on that.

the only difference is the 2mb cache and the Hyper Threading 4 cores with 4 threads on the 2500K as opposed to 4 cores and 8 threads with the 2600K . And yeas i have seen ppl doing 4.8ghz stable with Corsair H50 and 5ghz can be done ..

here is comparison between i5 2500 k And i7 930 see the gain for ur self

    Phil should be held responsible for this shitfest too, just like Sarah, but it's highly likely that these decisions are coming from Satya. And this isn't even the end of it. More closures are coming.

    if we are moving towards more and more popular trash across platforms that make billions for companies, I'm happy with all the barriers and exclusivity because at least that brings some pressure to create good stuff.

    They could've sold the studios instead of closing them, but the nazi bastards just didn't want competition down the road.

    So i just found out that f***ing s***bag Microsoft shut down Arkane Studio (makers of the brilliant Dishonored series) and Tango Gameworks (makers of the iconic The Evil Within series), among some other studios. I just want to say a giant F*** Y**! to Microsoft. THEY'VE F***ED UP BIG TIME this time.

    Started Dead Island 2, and i find it pretty lame. The story is shit. The characters are either cringe or bland (all 6 of them), The gameplay isn't fun. Even the goddamn zombies don't behave like proper zombies. They're all fast & intelligent unlike how zombies are supposed to be like. Any fan of "zombie" genre cannot possibly like this shitfest of a game. Dying Light 2 was million times better than this shit.
