first one is also semi-defective

yeah but if you plan on staying on that Xeon it should work fin

and maybe you need a special cooler

@install gentoo link me that xeon bruv

@Deleted User they go for much cheaper now http://m.ebay.co.uk/itm/Intel-Xeon-Prozessor-X5640-SLBVC-12-MB-Cache-2-66-GHz-Intel-QPI-mit-5-86-GT-s-/112524880860?hash=item1a33016bdc%3Ag%3A094AAOSwgu9ZZojl&_trkparms=pageci%253Af92f39f1-88d6-11e7-a722-74dbd180876a%257Cparentrq%253A149af92915e0aa489377fbe2fff493a2%257Ciid%253A1

You could maybe go for an x5650 or x5660

lemme look up the specs

The base clock is quite low but it is unlocked pretty much

noice

I think it was the last generation that didn't have locks on overclocks

looks like it has a turbo clock of 3.2ghz

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Intel-Xeon-X5660-2-8Ghz-Hex-Core-With-H-T-LGA1366-12MB-Cache-/162640559438

there's a listing for £25 that is shipping from china

You can over clock them really well too

nice

motherboards for it don't seem too expensive either on the used side

40 to 70 seems to be the average on ebay

Today at work I told someone I have chinkshit iems and they scoffed at me without even trying to listen to them

Like sorry you pay 400 bucks for what I can get for 20

they probably use beats

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I haven't really had good experiences with chink earphones

don't try to talk about technolo/g/y with normies or you will just hang yourself

<:hms:311152554618912768>

I brought some monk plus earphones and they didn't sound too good and they broke in like a month

get ZS5s

Granted they were only $5

I have one of the midrange ones from the recommended chink iem list and I love them

I've had them for almost a year

go and complain about it to lee to get the best spergout for your money

Still my favorite earbuds

the guy who runs VE is mental

Be?

*VE ?

venture electronics

Oh

ve monk

Does he tend to lurk round these parts

I much prefer my Apple™ EarPods™

(Seriously though, they're great)
