I picked one of these up at Microcenter for $39.99. It unlocks, but I haven't done much stability testing. I'm going to see if I can get it stable and OC it, then I'll have to decide if I want to keep it or my Phenom II 840 (no L3).
I also picked up a Gigabyte 970A-UD3. Better suited for overclocking than my current board, plus sata 6gb and usb3.
LLC seems weird. You can set it Auto, Regular, or Extreme. Auto and Regular seem to be the same, the vcore drops around .025 under load. On Extreme it goes up .025 under load. Only other board I've had with LLC was an Asus P35 board and it would keep vcore steady.
