Very good price/performance but skt 1366 motherboards can be expensive.
Excellent price/performance ratio. Going to higher clock CPU's ramps up the price out of all proportion to the speed increase. Very good room for overclocking, 4 GHz is possible. I have just set the multiplier to 24 for 3.2 GHz and it runs very cool with a decent heatsink and fan.
Be wary of using high voltages for your overclock. Use as little overvolt as possible, just enough to get a stable system at your chosen speed. I got 3.79MHz stable with voltages set to auto in the bios (not really recommended for big overclocks). Xsensors in Linux mint showed only moderate voltage increases. I got low 70's for core temps when stress testing and low 50's while gaming on air cooling. If you can get this cpu for under £20 then go ahead, it will not disappoint.
