i5-2500 Upgrade

Hello,

I built an Hackintosh inside an G5 Case for my Office. It has Gigabyte GA-Z77-DS3H Motherboard with special Hackintosh-BIOS (Ozmosis). Now I want to upgrade the i5-2500 inside that baby for something stronger. The Motherboard is 3rd Gen compatible and the CPU is 2nd Gen. Now I thought of some Xeon E3-1245v2 or Xeon E3-1230v2 from ebay. What should I look for? As I am based in Germany, I have to look at eBay or eBay Kleinanzeigen (Craigslist from eBay).

 

Regards,

theGamer

intel xeons will need correct TSCSync on OSX which will have to be patched through kext injection so you will need to re make that BIOS i think. deals like this seem good on eBay http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Intel-Xeon-E3-1265L-1260L-2-4-GHz-8M-Quad-Core-Processor-SR0G0-LGA1155-CPU-/292148971494?hash=item44056f87e6:g:nGMAAOSw3h1ZP17d don't know though your budget :/
