Are these 3700+s any good?

[man_from_uncle]

Dear all,

I bought a Sandy 4000+ last week and was dead impressed with it, people have been hitting 3.1ghz+ on air. Anyway, I may be building yet another computer and I noticed that the 3700s are a lot cheaper (£30+ cheaper at the moment). Does anyone know how this batch are clocking? One of these plus a cheap asrock might be a good idea and a good stop gap for some of my aging PCs.

Thanks,

Aron

Most people seem to get 2.7 to 2-8ghz easily on air. I can get 2.9ghz on 1.5volts. Do a search on the forums there are plenty threads with this question already.

In all fairness, that's good enough for me. I can see a cheapo rig being built by this time next week. .
