SB-E ES Overclocking?

[powerhouse]

Anyone one having luck overclocking the ebay SB-E ES cpu's? They are being advertised as "Unlocked and Overclockable". Does anyone have any experience overclocking these? The 6 and 8 core procs are really cheap but I would really only be interested if they were overclockable to ~4ghz.

Thanks,

I thought you're not allowed to sell your ES or even buy ES.

people will still break contract rules (that they have towards intel for not reselling ES), and list on ebay

ebay will take down those auctions if intel requests them

I understand intel forbids selling them and they are not under Intels warranty, this does not concern me....

I'm just looking for a 3930k alternative on the cheap.

idk if things changed but the 8 core es are not unlocked and cant even use the 125mhz strap so you limited to about 105ish fsb
