Hi guys,
I currently run a i7-940 C0 overclocked to 3.75GHz. I was wondering which X58 XEON to get that is the best bang for the buck? I was looking at X5650, X5660, X5670 and X5675. Is there a de facto one I should get similar to the i7-920 that has a lot of overclock room? I'm planning to overclock it past 4.0GHz. I'm pretty unlucky so I probably won't be winning a bin lottery. I have a Noctua ND-D14. My motherboard is an Intel DX58SO, which from doing some research isn't that good. I also live in Canada where the dollar is terrible so the prices range from $100 to $200 on ebay. Any advice would be appreciated.
Thanks.
