What Buyers Say
Intel Xeon X5650 6-core LGA 1366
The Intel Xeon X5650 is praised as a cost-effective upgrade for aging socket 1366 systems, offering significant performance improvements at a fraction of the cost of newer CPUs. Users report successful overclocking to 4-4.6GHz on air cooling, stable operation with various motherboards, and a noticeable boost in multi-threaded workloads. However, one verified buyer received a used processor instead of a new one, and a few mentioned the thermal compound is only average. Overall, the value-for-money is considered outstanding for those with compatible X58 motherboards.
Pros
- Outstanding value for money
- Significant performance upgrade for X58 systems
- Excellent overclocking potential (4-4.6 GHz)
- Boosts multi-threaded workloads (12 threads)
- Easy drop-in installation on compatible motherboards
Cons
- Received used instead of new by one buyer
- Average quality thermal compound included
- Limited to socket 1366 motherboards
- Requires BIOS update on some systems
