For sale is a used Intel 2500k 1155 socket CPU. Unlike my old Q6600 I never overclocked this unit. Ran it at the stock settings with the turbo boot enabled. Works great, if you have any questions feel free to ask!

Price = $125 shipped

Any chance of shipping to the UK?

I've just bought a i5 3450, but would prefer the OCability of a K series Sandy :)

if you could ship to the UK I would give you $160 :)

You should be able to get that 3450 easily to 3.8ghz on a decent motherboard. 3.8ghz on Ivy is going to be like 4.0-4.1ghz on sandy bridge. So a 2500k will get you to maybe 4.5ghz, you know what the difference is? Not even noticeable. Plus Ivy has PCIe 3.0 support and uses less power.

But the 3450 has a locked multi :(


Is it safe to OC the BCLK on a Ivy?

Yes but the max multiplier is 37, and a bump to 103 base clock will put you at 3.8ghz. And decent board will be able to overclock on the base clock with no problems.

As I said, 3.8ghz on the 3450 is going to be around the same performance of a 4ghz 2500k. You may get 4.4-4.5ghz out of the 2500k, but you won't even be able to feel the difference at all.
