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

Comment:
This CPU has worked like a champ, I have yet to really give this CPU a run for its money in every day computing. I would definately consider it again in another build.

Comment:
no problem during the install

Comment:
I have built 3 identical units for a few of my clients and they love them. Great machine to go with. Heavy video editing stick with the i7's

Comment:
This processor is very fast. I've had it for a couple of weeks now and have not really been able to slow it down. Been playing all the latest games at max settings and they run perfectly. Very good for running multiple applications at once as well as video and image editing. When buying memory please understand these processors only support memory with a freq. of 1.5 volts. The embedded memory controller on the CPU can fry if you clock your memory more than 5% above 1.5 volts.

Nothing seems to slow this thing down, I purchased a ASUS P7P55D for use with this processor and they work great! Unbelievably fast! Boots fast too!

Comment:
processor is extremely fast. doesn't slow down on multiple applications. definately a great processor for the money.

This is the best bang for buck cpu currently on the market. get yourself a good after market cooler (i used the cooler master hyper 212 plus) and this cpu easily overclocks. i'm changed a few settings and run at 3.4ghz. if you have time to tweak, you can easily push it around 4ghz.

This processor is very fast and does well with high or low demands. I am using a ASUS P7P55D LE motherboard which works very well with the processor. The machine boots Windows 7 Home Premium in about 40 seconds and will come out of sleep mode in under 15 seconds.

Comment:
Bought this with a Motherboard package deal. So far so good. Running stock at about 40-42 degrees C. Love it so far. Huge improvement over the 2.4 single core.

Comment:
I went from a 2.6 ghz P4 to this and all I can say is WOW. This thing overclocks like crazy and is unreal fast compaired to my old junk. Great cpu for such a low price.

Comment:
now that these cpu have dropped in price , they become really interesting, got it bundle with a gigabyte p55 boardand ddr3 price is on par with ddr2 ,so no hesitation go for a i5 platform

Comment:
I've had this processor for 2 days now and have it OC to 3.6ghz cooling with the thermaltake silent and it idles at 30 degrees and at full load go to 55. Didn't even have to change the voltage of it to get it to 3.6, my system is stable. I'm very please to have purchased this for so cheap. Also the CPU scores 16400 on futuremark 3d.

Comment:
Tried 5 different boards for this one. 4 of them scored in the high 6's until the last one I used (Gigabyte P55-UD3 Intel P55 Socket LGA1156) consistently scored a 7.3 running Win 7. The new 55 chipset, along with the North and south changes in this board make this thing scream! Asus has a similar board, so just in case you do your homework, and like Asus, I did not try that board.

Comment:
this cpu performs better than 1366 i7s for some reason. this cpu has more fps than some i7s for 1366. I think this is better because this is cheaper, better performance and overall realibility.

Comment:
This processor is plenty fast for the average person's work load and it packs a good punch for gaming. It doesn't matter how many applications I have open my computer never slows down. The great thing about getting the i5 is that you can wait until the Intel Core i7 drops in price and then do an upgrade for even more performance later on. I'm using the stock heatsink right now because my 3rd party one broke, but it does a nice job of keeping the processor cool.

Comment:
Performs well. Installation and instructions were satisfactory. I recommend picking up thermal paste and not using the limited coverage that comes with the cpu fan.

Comment:
This chip is great. For the money and if you dont need HT, this is the one to go with. I could not be happier with my build and the preformance i'm getting. I upgraded the cooler to a Noctura, which is a thing of beauty.

Comment:
It is a very good CPU but when I bought mine it was defective, but other than that it is a good CPU.

Comment:
Man this is an awesome graphics card, if you cant afford an i7, and possibly upgrade in the future, but honestly this will do so much more than you think.

Comment:
Very fast with Windows 7 64 bit

Comment:
With hyper threading disabled to shield the higher cost i7, it is still a great value and a fast processor.

Comment:
Maybe!

Comment:
processor is plenty fast. well worth the money. bought with a MSI P55-CD53 Intel P55 Socket LGA1156 mobo and a BFG Nvidia GTX285. use mostly for gaming and it runs all my new games at superb frame rates (L4D2, CoD MW2, etc). if you get this processor you won't be disappointed.

Comment:
The chip is pretty fast at stock speed. If multithreading is not needed, this is the way to go. Overclock well on stock voltage. Way better deal than amd offers at the moment.

Comment:
Bought this for my newest Desktop build. Quality is excellent. Quiet and cool. Right now still waiting for my cooling stuff to come in, but it has no problem overclocking to 3.2 on stock fan. Thanks.
