In reasonable terms, this AMD chip can't be considered a stock clocked chip. This is a binned to the max ready to go overclocked SKU. For water cooling there won't be much additional headroom. I consider AMD FX to be pretty good for video compression. However, at this price it's just silly considering the competition. It doesn't even qualify as a halo product. FX-9370 at least makes some sense.
