Get it while you can. Absurd price for incredible performance. 5.0GHz is easily do-able, and about the same as a 4.8GHz i5 3570K while having better temps (and usually only 4.6GHz is what most people can do on an i5 3570K, anyway... at least safely).

Cleaning stock I guess??

Maybe they can lower the price on the 3570K once the 2500K is gone
