This piece of hardware has saved me more often than not :3
Back then they didn't yet design shit to break.
i7 900 series with x58 chipset. Great overclocking and single thread performance that still rivals todays offerings thanks to ipc stagnation.
Lga 1366 didn't need to be replaced so quickly with 2011 or 1150, but the search for more money made it happen.

Too bad there ware no consumer offerings for LGA 1356, Sandy Bridge's 1366.

Pretty much any 2nd gen core i3/5/7 is still viable even today.

Tfw have both.
Still working perfectly fine after all these years I don't even think I will upgrade since everything is working great.
