I have a old i7 920 I was thinking about setting up exclusively for rendering things while i work on other stuff as a background work station, but I was wondering if it would be safe?
Obviously TG isn't really what I'm worried about, but the stability of a i7 920 under load. I have heard they were quickly replaced (in fabrication) and had many issues. My friend said I'm going to pop it, which kinda instilled a bit of paranoia. LOl
Additionally I wonder if it's worth it in general. It's a pretty poor chip from when I messed around with it my A10 blows it out of the water which is why I never migrated awhile back.
