Xeon w3520 and i7 D0 both are very dependent on the weak of the production ( CPU-batch), but maybe you can have a better luck to find a good Xeon batch. My w3520 (#3848A352) is not the best batch, but is a decent/good one.
Right now it is running with OK temp on air @4.3GHZ (205x21) 1.28v (1 hour prime stable), but maybe it has been at it's best at my favorite low-volt OC @4GHZ(211x19) 1.15v ( 8 hours prim stable ).
