      "Insanely fast for an older gen processor"

      Pros: The latest generation processor available for the Lga 1366 platform. These processors tend to overclock between 4.0-4.4 GHz. I've got mine at 4.6 GHz with 24 GB memory on the internal memory controller (imc) . It has 6 cores and 12 threads of processing power. Mine also scored 1106 on cine-bench with an overclock of 4.6 GHz. Cons: Might not be compatible with every LGA 1366 motherboard. I had to update the bios on my Sabertooth X58 but after the update there were no issues. Other: Make sure to have decent cooling because this puppy runs hot and if you're running 24 GB ram or more then get an aftermarket spot cooler for the north bridge on your motherboard. My specs with this CPU: Xeon x5690 4.6 GHz, Motherboard: ASUS Sabertooth X58, Ram: 24 GB Corsair Vengeance DDR3 1600 MHz.

      Bad CPUs.

      My 2009 Mac Pro Tower wouldn't boot up after installing these CPUs. Had to order another set, and when I installed the other set, and they worked beautifully! The set you sent must have been defective, or perhaps burned out.

    • Awesome CPU upgrade for X58 motherboards

      I'm using a Dell XPS 435/9000 motherboard that initially had a X58 earlier Gen i7 which is a 4 core CPU and this Ebay X5690 is a 6 core so I think the gaming has improved a bit. It's very stable and reliable. I'm satisfied. Though I do think that my system would benefit on more performance if I'd re-install windows in UEFI mode, not DOS which I'm still reluctant to do as I'd either lose my data or rely on a back-up that I personally think reduces quality when transferred to & fro local, cloud and back to local drive (just my personal concern) so when I do, it will be a clean install.

    • great upgrade for my older mac pro

      I recently got a mac pro 5,1 cheaply with the stock dual 2.6 procs and someone suggested I upgrade it with 3.46's, so I went ahead and gave it a shot. I've done computer repair work in the past but this is my first time upgrading a processor in a mac pro. This model of mac pro isn't terribly difficult to upgrade, but it does take some time and might be a little intimidating for the new guy. You also have to do a reasonably good job with the heat sink compound or you could damage (overheat) the processors. There's a few videos online on youtube that show recommended ways (patterns) to apply the heat sink compound on procs like this so you don't get air bubbles, overflow, or incomplete die coverage. One thing to keep in mind is that some mac pros are set up to mount procs with the metal ...

    • Update BIOS first, then it works fine.

      On an Asus P6T Deluxe V2 it works when BIOS is updated to 12.02, otherwise it will not boot up at all. Flash bios before installing! Very easy to do inside the BIOS, see several online videos and manuals. I cannot answer for any other X58 systems, but I'd guess always ensuring latest BIOS is just the best way to go.
