I would like to know what does C2 mean, because Motherboards without C2 cost usually 20-30$ more.

Then why is it cheaper?

Older parts are generally more expensive usually because they're not trying to sell them due to lower stock.

The C1 stepping has an usb bug, when your pc wakes up from sleep some usb ports dont work. C2 has this issue resolved. This issue was known before Haswellboards were released.

Why is it cheaper? Well the ones without C2 is a C1 revision, C1's arent being made anymore so theyre expensiver obviously.
