Lga 775 cpu

[Arpan maurya]

I have been looking for a cpu for a while but found out a core 2 extreme qx9650 has been defected by a modded xeon x5470 that too half of price but is that the truth,

I mean does modding a xoen lga771 and put into lga775 socket make it worth it or its just fake  and inviteing some type of crashs? 

I m nearly to buy one tell me in details.

Id suggest just getting a older sandy bridge quad core. Much faster.

The Xeon mod works. More or less. But if you're paying a premium for a wanna-be QX9650 you'd be better off getting a real QX9650. I have one, it is an awesome chip even now.

 

There are other options like the Q9300/9500 and even the older QX6850, all of which work just as well. To get the most out of a QX series chip you'd better have a good motherboard to put it in though.

What 775 motherboard do you have? Some don't like Quad cores at all.
