Just super, the product is made wonderfully, very satisfied.

I needed a computer for comfortable work with 3D graphics and rendering. I bought 2 processors Intel Xeon x5675 3.06 GHz 12M Cache, installed on the board from the HP Z800 graphics station version 460838-003. The processors cost 3 thousand on aliexpress, motherboard revision # 003 with delivery from the states to 9 thousand. In total, for 15 thousand I assembled a dual-processor system, which in Cinebench R15 gives 1474 units, which is commensurate with xeons for 80 thousand. I will not write…

Pros
  • + Excellent performance for its price of $ 50. + Big cache + Gets a little warm! idle 32 degrees, under load 45! the cooler is simple, without fanaticism at all, I won’t even write, so as not to be ashamed.
Cons
  • - there is nothing to upgrade, the platform is outdated, and the top models on the 1366 chipset already heat up significantly, their TDP is 130W. Thus, buying a processor smaller than 5675 for the 1366 platform only makes sense for overclocking purposes. - motherboard from HP Z800 does not support overclocking in principle. no frequency control. but this has nothing to do with the processor, so the minus is conditional.

Matches the description completely, very satisfied.

I bought it instead of 5550, I'm happy with the choice. The most powerful cost-effective option to get started with game hosting. Clients do not complain, there are no bugs / glitches at all, at the moment the machine is equipped with: 4 World Of WarCraft game projects + 19 minecraft servers. And this is only on one machine, we plan to purchase 5-6 pieces in the future. Atomic processor. + 5 points.

Pros
  • 6 Core 12 channel, 288GB of RAM pulls.
Cons
  • No.

I'm very happy, it really is worth buying.

Has some pros Hi all. When I switched to it from the i7 920, I really felt its charms. The thinner tech process and six cores gave a lot of positive emotions at first. Different cons: Already outdated. AMD RYZEN has set new benchmarks for performance and pricing.

I didn³'t expect the quality to be this good.

It doesn’t seem to be a drawback, in theory it’s even a very cool feature, but I disabled SpeedStep on it. the frequency jumped too often and it was noticeable by the squeak of the batteries on the motherboard. I thought that due to the voltage throwing back and forth, the board could last less and cut it down just in case. Who in the subject convince me otherwise because I xs.

Pros
  • 95W, 6 cores, although not in the compatible list, but works great on EX58-UD3R rev. 1.6 BIOS FK, the price is slightly more than 2K on Ali
Cons
  • didn't notice

Fast, but watch the pace.

My T5500 works much better with it now, only mine has a cheap aluminum heatsink so I had to put an extra fan on it to keep the temperature under control until I got one good U016F heat sink put on it.

Pros
  • Process Type: Intel Xeon X5660 Hexa Core Processor
Cons
  • 0

Amazing performer! for computers and accessories

A real workhorse, and it works great and fast! I bought them mainly to render videos and couldn't be happier! Well, for thousands I could be happier, but for the price these processors are a great choice!

Pros
  • Socket: Socket 1366
Cons
  • I don't remember

Not in retail packaging. fits internal components

Not available in retail packaging. The part number refers to a retail boxed product, but Eoptionsonline did not ship the processor in retail box. The processor worked perfectly, so I gave the product 5 stars.

Pros
  • L3 cache: 12 MB
Cons
  • Lots of stuff

Happy customer! best in internals

Well packaged, arrived as advertised, fast delivery and works well. Overclocked this processor on my computer to 4.2GHz Linx stable in temperatures below the 70's. Great chip!

Pros
  • Tire speed: 6.4 GT/s
Cons
  • infuriates

Great fix for cheap

is a Dell t410 server I use for virtual machine testing. It was a $25 upgrade cost reduction. I got a huge performance boost over the original e5503. I'm running Server 2016 with Hyper-V on 2 SSDs and 32 gigabytes of RAM with no problems. by no means the ultimate, but it's a workhorse.

Pros
  • VID voltage range: 1.3V
Cons
  • Not bad but...

Good performance. - Computer components

I've been using this processor for almost 3 years, it's very reliable, stable and fast. Now that I've added this second processor to my workstation I've seen 3D rendering go faster with 12 cores, really nice I guarantee. It's also really stable when you use many apps at the same time, I could open After Effects, Premier, 3D Max, Music, Internet, etc. Like almost all Xeon processors, they don't get very hot. Of course there are more powerful and faster processors out there, but for the price…

Pros
  • Frequency: 2.80 GHz
Cons
  • Big and chunky
