Couldn't be happier. Handles whatever I'm throwing at it wihout situation. OC to four.2 working with MSI OC Genie with only a minor heat improve. Maintaining 35C idleኘC load at stock speeds and 45ኢ when OC'd working with the stock HS. None.

big overclock on air, for gaming by far the best bank for the buck none, i even scrapped the intel heatsink to cool my HDD's This processor is worth each penny, the unlocked i7 is not worth the 30% additional if your a gamer, purchase a much better video card.

Excellent processor compares favorably with the I5-3570K

A nice adjust going from my old cpu to this beast, at 4ghz it runs steady and cool. Installation was uncomplicated. I touched the bottom and it nevertheless worked. Good 1 intel. None to speak of I'm not a computer system specialist, and this element was used through my first build. Enthusiasts, ignore what I have to say.

Bought for a customer who wanted a editing computer with OC capabality, didnt go with ivy at teh time due to overheating chip issues reported. Ran great and fast Oced to 4.4 with a little vcore bump and ran stable with decent temps, maxing out at 56 degrees.

Simple set up, booted with no a hitch, runs cool, runs rapidly sufficient I haven't felt the need or wish to overclock yet. Windows index provides it 7.5 out of 7.9. This is a excellent item! It doesn't assistance triple channel. Not totally free. If you don't want to overclock get the locked model for ษ bucks more affordable. Either way this seems the best bang for the buck. i7 was unnecessary for me.

The definite mainstay of the Sandy Bridge line. It hits a great price point. I have used it stock and experienced no issues.I would like to see the price dropped as it is already a generation behind, but that is something that NCIX doesn't have much power over

Fast, trustworthy, Multi-activity properly and amazing. i7 take away Hyper-threading + .1GHz you get this My buddy told me to get an i7, but I got this because I was going to commit the added 贄 on a GPU alternatively.

Comment:
I was capable to OC this processor to four.4ghz (in turbo enhance mode) on stock cooling. Crazy amazing None Wonderful processor. I hope AMD can hold up.

Comment:
Definitely one of the best CPU's out there. Runs stable at 4.4 GHz. Temperature is usually around 30-40 degrees Celsius on idle with an aftermarket cooler. Overall a great product.

Comment:
fast and good performence with overlock funtion. Need a better cpu heatsink if used to play games.

Comment:
Easy to overclock, stock speed is really quick. Stock heatsink/fan is rather loud and does a poor job of cooling. I upgraded from Q6600, my average FPS on Crysis went up by 20 and Just Bring about two went up by 15.I am operating an HD6950 with this processor, I can run anything on as high as achievable with couple of occasions having to turn AA down to x4 from x8.

its all fantastic. girlfriend not impressed by how potent my cpu is

Very good price tag/performance ratio, stable, decent integrated graphics Heatsink isn't excellent I have been impressed with the HD 3000 graphics capabilities. It's no GTX 590, but it handles older games and simple stuff just fine. For most, you can't go wrong with this chip. Do you want the K component? I'd say "yes," if you are going to stick with the integrated graphics. Reviews that have compared the 2000 to the 3000 suggest that the 3000 is superior enough to make it worth it.

This CPU is blazing quick and I have been incredibly impressed. I constantly utilized AMD processors in the previous and considered it this time as properly. The 2500K was a tiny far more pricey but based on all the testimonials and articles I decided it was time to switch to Intel. It was the ideal selection. I can encode a 2 hour film working with Handbrake (H.264 encoder) in roughly 16 min. Functionality for gaming is smooth and flawless. I can effortlessly oc to four.3 Ghz without having any voltage boost, but reduced it to 4. Ghz proper now until I install a new HSF (see comments below). With correct cooling I feel I can get to four.5 Ghz or beyond. Get this CPU you will not be disappointed. None. Not a con for the CPU, but just be aware the stock HSF that comes with this is junk. I originally oc'd to four.3 Ghz but my temps were actually hitting 90C following only a handful of minutes on full load (prime95). I brought it down to four. Ghz and also lowered Vcore by .025V which has been operating smoothly. I'm nevertheless hitting 80C at complete load but it'll get me by till my new HSF arrives. Do oneself a favor and get the aftermarket HSF from the beginning. It'll conserve you having to pull out your board and set up it later (which you will inevitably do since the stock HSF is totally inadequate).

A great CPU for gaming. Can be overclocked to amazing speeds with decent aftermarket coolers. I have it overclocked to 4.5GHz with the Corsair H60 liquid cooler and get pretty good temperatures.

Good processor, extremely potentRivals the old i7s, and absolutely beats the price tag An additional new socket form

Consider getting a aftermarket cooler so you can overclock it.

Comment:
This CPU is fast. It works. The stock cooler is an old design, and I wish Intel would drop  it's push-pin design. However, cooler is quiet.

Comment:
Coming from core two duo this factor is wicked rapidly none This issue overclocks soooooooooooooo simple and been stable given that the first day I got it till now. If you're a gamer or just want a processor that can do anything, and do it more quickly than nearly something out there then you will need to own this

Comment:
So quick. SOOOO quick. If you game, this is for you. Requires a incredibly goos cooling heatsink--I recommend coolermaster hyper 212+ It cooked my breakfast!!
