My friend and I are building a server with desktop parts and can't decide on a processor. It needs to be a good overclocker because we're going to water cool it. Original choice was 960T, but I've been thinking an 8120 might be better. My problem with the 8120 is that it's not a true 8 core and that the power draw skyrockets when overclocking. I like that its memory controller supports 1866MHz RAM though. The 960T however can unlock to 6 true cores and doesn't have such a high power draw. I need some input as I've never owned either of these.
The water cooling loop will include a triple radiator and the system will have 32GB of 1600/1866MHz RAM. It will be powered by a Corsair HX650.
