E5645 vs x5680

[Lacher Prise]

Is there to big of a difference beetween xeon e5645 and x5680? I will only give it a little OC boost because i will only use air cooling plus iam im a tropical country

Need reply ASAP

It'll be harder to OC due to the low base clock. It has 33% lower TDP which you'll lose when OCíng to the same 3.33GHz clock.

Is that a big difference? Plus the e5645 cost here 30usd and the x5680 cost 70usd

both have locked mults, so they max out at x44, you need to bclk then which raises everything else in the system.

its seriously rng when it comes to binning on x58, ive seen batches of 10 chips hit between 3.9 and 4.5 at the same fuckin volts, and they're the lowest of the bunch hexas. 

 

what board, OP??

The X5670 is about the same as the 5680 and it's typically $50. Best deal of the bunch.
