On a budget motherboard with a truncated power converter (Z68 Pro3 Gen3), with a strain on the drain, I brought the frequency to 4.5GHz. Works perfectly, without errors, the temperature practically did not rise. Before that, if on the Q9650 (overclocked to 4MHz) transcoding video with maximum quality settings, say from HD to DVD, took 4-5 hours, now it takes about 25 minutes! Apparently Lucid Virtu technology is bearing fruit here. aida64 has tests on processors and memory with statistics on different platforms. So, in all tests, the processor occupies the top lines (in overclocking, of course), often overtaking more productive and expensive solutions, including 6.8 cores. And the last, checked in games. In the last Hitman, my game slowed down in places before (subjectively, agc did not measure). Now it doesn't slow down. In general, about 2500K, well, what can I say, it's good.
