Anyone ever had one of these? How much does it the double overclock send it into and how many months does it last before it burns out?
I was also looking at a xeon for 1/3 of the price, but they're always slower compared to the normal thing. Plus anything below 12MB cache is not worth it.

just buy x5470
I clocked mine to 4.1ghz and it has been rock solid stable for more than year

Uh what
You can get xeons with the exact same specs (but I don't think they have an unlocked multiplier)

bump for interest. Shouldn't the prices on these things fell like 33% in price when Ryzen and Kaby Lake got released?

>overclocking C2Q in anno 2017
why though, it's going to be a housefire but still not going to be fast
get an L-series xeon and make a quiet machine instead

Bad buy, for the platform if nothing else.
Plus, many enthusiast chips have marked up pricing unreasonably.

Modded quad core xeons are already like $10 a piece, how low do you want them to get?
