Over a year ago I was lucky enough to be handed one of these processors. Running stable at 4.0GHz (1.256V) for over a year I would have to say that this processor delivers. My temp usually idles around 35-40C and gets around 75C under heavy stress (Prime95 Torture Test heavy) with just air cooling (Zalman CNPS9900ALED).
Being on my 6th or so processor/rig I would have to say that I have never experienced such reliability, as it has yet to crash or lockup.
Had to buy a new motherboard and ram when I won this processor... :P
Would I have paid $999 for this at the time? Not a chance.
Would I be willing to pay $999 for a new EE when a substantial upgrade is released? Definitely.
Though I didn't spring the house payment for this processor the reliability which I have experienced could sway me in the future to make such a purchase.
Unlocked chip, ran cool on water at high OC 4.6ghz
not very fast, my OC i7920 was faster then the 975 OC. might have been a bad batch of 975s but from what i had and tested i didnt like it and sold it the same month.
buy a 6core for the same price or just OC a i7 930.
