most likely selling this exta cpu i have… new in box, mint condition. Seeing if there’s any interest here. Best for multi threaded applications, such as Handbrake for video encoding… $450 seems fair based on ebay prices. I reserve the right to not sell this at all, and use it for myself 🙂 Detailed item info Product Information With faster, intelligent, multi-core technology that applies processing power where it’s needed most, Intel Core i7 processors deliver an incredible breakthrough in PC performance.

you should just use it, the processor if effing fantastic…isnt it about time you upgraded yours anyway? on another note - on the stock air cooler, i have this same processor at 4.1GHz on an MSI Pro-E Motherboard at 1.37 vcore, running “cheap” g skill ddr3-1333mhz memory at 682mhz…and from what ive read with better cooling/ram and more voltage, theres a lot more left in the processor. ---
