Some users have better experience with certain batches and serial combos....hench why I'm asking.
If it's an ivy or haswell the batch doesn't matter, more likely than not you'll have to delid it to get good temps due to the awful TIM they use under the IHS that's about the most anyone will tell you since I don't think there's really anyone collecting data on every batch.

Dear, pl remember even in a batch we can't compare every chip because every chip is different (Sound Strange! This is a fact). Some chips will OC to 4.2 GHZ, some will OC to 4.7 GHz and there is nothing we can do about it. So it would be better if you can relate your query with more details that you want to know about. I'm afraid looking at only batch no/serial no there is hardly anything to be informed.

somewhere i read that a certain number in the batch or serial number like "11" alot of people couldnt "oc" over 4.2 where as people who got "10 or 12" in that spot where able to go over that. i cant find that thread and am unsure of the actual number i need to look at, im just curious as im hoping that i didnt get the ones that alot of people cant "oc" over 4.2 is all

Ok dear here is what I was able to net surf. Remember this is not official because various persons have posted their own complied data hence it is not guaranteed that what works for one will work for the other: -
Check below link, this guy has collected data on various CPUs in batches and measure their performance [ivy bridge]
http://www.overclock.net/t/1348988/is-there-a-good-i7-3770k-batch-number/140
Check below link, this is for haswell compiled by another guy
http://www.overclock.net/t/1415474/haswell-batch-numbers-make-a-huge-difference
Check this google spreadsheet yet compiled by another person,
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AjRfk9YMfSo8dHFUMW1xX1ZfLXp0Skw0d1hmV2dRYkE&hl=en#gid=0
and this is from ROG platform of Asus (Btw it is another platform which I really enjoyed being a member of
)

thank you, one of those lead me to the information i was looking for, yes i understand that i cant "just" be told my chip is awesome, i just kinda wanted to know if i had a better chance with a certain batch. even tho i know i could be in the best performing batch and get a crappy overclocking chip.

didnt find any information about my batch numbers, mine is higher than all the ones in the reports.
but after a week of running my build stable at first ill oc it to get the best tests and report back...lol

Here is what Intel has to say about it. Quoting as it is from their reply:
"With regard to your concern if we can assess the overclocking capability of an Intel CPU from its batch number and serial number, unfortunately, there is no way."
