If you're looking to max out the CPU on an older 1366 motherboard at the least expensive price, then the Intel Xeon W3690 is what you need. Can be purchased used for around $80. It is the closest CPU to the i7-990x and x5690 at about half the price. The w3690 was a replacement for my i7-960 CPU. Really not a lot of noticeable gain but wasn't expecting it since my 960 is 3.2 GHz and the 3690 is 3.47 GHz. But there is some noticeable gains with heavy applications. Works well with W10 and seems very stable. Pretty sure max ram is 32gb like the i7's and it is not compatible with dual cpu's where the x5690 is and will recognize a considerable amount of more ram. Have no idea about OC on this cpu. I never OC anything but would image the x5690 would be the better choice if wanting to over clock. I have to say I was a little skeptical of switching over to a XEON over the i7 but the XEON seems to be an awesome CPU. Also take note that these XEONS do NOT have integrated graphics built into the chips like the i7's, so you'll have to use an external video card and NOT the onboard video.Read full review

Bought this to replace my old i7-920. Put in MSI X58 Pro with bios V8.F. Initially, it fails to boot. But after I press the clear bios button on the motherboard, it boots up and everything works. I am kind of surprise windows 10 did not consider this as significant hardware change, i.e., no need to reactivate. With the cooler master hyper 212 CPU heatsink, I've got 25C at idle and around 50C at full speed (stock clock at 3.47ghz no oc).

With either the use of multiplier or bclk you can get great numbers out of these unlocked xeons. Over 1000 in cinebench with decent cooling. Need a good x58 board however. I'm using an Asus p6t deluxe v2.

First time installing a cpu and was easy to do with help with youtube videos and google searches for my mac pro 5.1 mid 2012 from quad core to six core. Only con i have was the cpu still had thermal residue which i took off with no problem. Will see holds up in a couple of months

I installed this into my quad core 4,1 Mac Pro. Installation was simple and the speed increase was well worth the money. Highly recommended.
