The only downside is lack of ECC support, but I've now clocked over 8 days of uptime even with constant harassment by VMs. It's running is a POS motherboard that looks like it was made in Burma. The memory is SHIT that my AMD CPU said was defective, but this beaut of a CPU don't care.
I've also tried to push it over 51C many times. I've managed to get it up to 55C a few times but never seen 56. This is with a $35 air cooler.
You can't buy this CPU anymore. No one's got them. Used prices are pushing $260 now and $300 is plausible within a year. Shoulda bought INTEL |
