The 920 is still the bang for the buck on x58. I have yet to run into one that hasn't been able to hit 5ghz under some sort of cold... epic chips indeed!
Ebay is getting ridiculous on i7 chips... they just say "guaranteed to hit 4ghz" and jack up the price on the chip. You are better off getting a new one.... if the chip is a dud you can kill it and rma it for a win chip.
