I was think of purchasing some new kit to add to my aging E5000 processor setup.
I was wondering if anyone has had any experience with overclocking and rendering. Would this system be a stable one? They are Core i7 kits from Overclockers which contain just the parts you need and not a whole system. Very tempting.

watercooled version.

These seem like really good deals and it's not too steep in terms of price for investment. Crazy to think 3Ghz versions of my E5000 processors are still nearing the €1000 mark! Crazy. I would have to find out whether they build versions with 8Gb - 12Gb of ram, possibly not. Hope so...
Would continuously rendering with overclocked processors shorten their life? It's not something I have any experience with, I am not sure if rendering is a good thing as these are primarily sold as gaming. These core i7s do get very good vray benchmarks.

I was wondering if anyone could do a quick benchmark with the Mac Pro as I am still thinking of going there.
Thanks peeps.
