Intel Core i5-750 2.66GHz LGA 1156 95W Quad-Core Processor

Comment:
I got this on sale a while back, easy to install and no issues. Processing is extremely fast.

Comment:
I know there is more power out there, I just can't imagine needing it.

Comment:
This chip seems gratifyingly fast & powerful after upgrading from an old 3GHz Pentium 4. It's also amazingly cool- I can run the new computer more quietly than the old, despite it being WAY more powerful & having 4 times the RAM. Hard to think of a reason to spend more for a Core i7. The packaging is marginal, though- the flimsy carboard box appeared to have fallen off a truck.

what a great processor. I feel sorry for amd fans which I hvae been since the days of the athlons. I can't help but think that the 965BE still doesn't compete with this chip even though the price diff is rarely greater than $10. I price matched this at $199 and at the time the 965s were going for 205 at the cheapest. The processor is a steal at that price and since the lga 1156 boards are so cheap, this processor makes a great deal of sense when compared to the i7 920.

Teamed with the Asus P7P55D Pro Motherboard it worked great. Popped it in. Smeared on the thermal paste and mounted the fan. Up the first time and have not looked back.

they didn't even protect it very well and its fragile. i don't like tigerdirects packaging. i haven tried the cpu yet hopefully its not damaged.

Simple to do a mild Turbo mode overclock. Set 150 MHz BCLK to get 3.15MHz with 4 cores active, 3.6 with 1 core active. Took 5 minutes to set up.

New technology - new luck - very good purchase

Comment:
very good. no issue at all.

Comment:
This is simply the best CPU available to date. Easily overclock-able, fast and reliable. You cant ask for more

The value of this CPU is amazing. Out of the box it is fast, Blazing fast! Having the very easy overclocking ability gives it a nice boost too! The new i-series processors from Intel dominate! Highly recommended!

Got this on sale, was going to build a cheap Quad core 775, but with this, the asus board and the ram on sale it was the same price as the 775 and a much better value, very happy with the performance and the OC ability. would definitely recommend.

Comment:
I overclocked the 750 I purchased to 3.6 with almost no other adjustments.I'm sure I could easily hit 4.0 but for my needs there is no need to go further.

Comment:
Super fast. For the cost, best deal on high end processors. medium amount of overclocking and have not seen it go above 50% capacity. Great Buy. Dont waste your money on cheap AMD processors when you can do so much more with this for practically the same cost.

Comment:
I bought this a month ago and so far so good. This processor is really fast plus you can overclock it. I am running this with Windows 7 ultimate 64 bit.

Budget priced, but does not wimper in performance AT ALL. Got it when it was 199 dollars CDN with free shipping and Paypal cashback. Photoshop's got nothing on this CPU. At 215 dollars, it's still the best value for the performance you're getting. Overclockable easily to faster speeds than some of the i7

Comment:
Haven't been able to exercise the full CPU power yet. For all business functions, internet streaming and publishing work it is very quick. I expect video preparation will tax the processor

Comment:
This is highly recommended because of its performance price ratio. Works great and the difference between i5 and i7 is not as huge as the price difference

Comment:
Very nice cpu for the price was very easy to assemble nice gaming boost that i got and also very easy to overclock

Comment:
was gonna go with the i7 but now i have overclocked barley a difference

Comment:
I put thid CPU on the ASUS Motherboad with 8gb of DDR3. It is preety fast. Cant wait to run some game on this CPU. Oh yeah, I am Win 7 64 bit

Comment:
Some friends asked me to build them a budget computer. I used this CPU and skimped a bit on everything else and it turned out very nice. Solid, quick and so far very reliable. This site was the best price at the time. Regular delivery was very fast (3 days). I would use this chip again. Nice performance for price. Four star for performance probably not because of the chip. Only 2 gig of ram installed.

For the most part I am very happy with this purchase. The processor runs extremely cool. Upgrading from my previous AMD 4400+ X2 has showed a large improvement in game performance, however I haven't noticed any difference in everyday performance for browsing or opening programs. This may be an issue with me still using XP.

I bought this CPU for my newest built. I usually go with AMD but this time wanted to go back to Intel as this processor on sale was too good to pass. It's an amazing processor and runs everything you throw it it. It overclocks beatifully on air and even with the crappy heatsink provided (better upgrade to an after market one as the stock one is really ridiculous!). Overall great piece of hardware and much recommended over the current AMD quad cores.
