Intel Core i7-3770K 3.5GHz (3.9GHz Turbo) LGA 1155 Quad-Core Desktop Processor

Comment:
3770k + Asus RoG Maximus Gene is am awesome combo for about 500$ to get some super top end components and pretty much anyone will need unless your planing on going more then 2x Video Cards!

Great CPU with great overclokability with custom cooler. Hyperthread really make a difference when rendering with High-End software. I was going for an i5 3570K ok this one and I don't regret going with this i7.

Comment:
enough power for anything can easly be overclocked

Comment:
Very good CPU and it does support Virtualization. Does run a bit hot but easily cooled with air. It is an over kill for most user the i5 version of this is very good for gamers. This review was modfied by poster @ 01-20-13 05:49 PM

Idling at 25c l 4.6 with H100. Got it up to 60c on the medium fan setting doing a burn test. Insane CPU

Comment:
If you're into video editing and encoding this is probably the best bang for the $$$. If you will be mostly gaming and web surfing the i5-3570k is a cheaper alternative and put the $100 savings into a better videocard and/or cpu heatsink/water cooler.

Comment:
Bought this CPU with a Noctua NH-D14 so I can't comment if the original fan does a good job but I guess you should go for a better fan if your objective is to reach 4.5Ghz++ with good temps.A MUST HAVE!!

Comment:
Decent processor, nice upgrade from e8400. Max temp at stock (3.9 ghz) is 54C with h100 vcore only .950V.

Comment:
great overclocking cpu, go great with a maximus v formula, awesome combo!

Comment:
i overclocked it at 4.5mhz at 1,25v whit a corsair h100 and works finevery happy whit the result

Was about to get a 3570k but saw this on sale and picked it up instead, nice improvement over my old E8500. Replaced the stock heatsink with the Cooler Master EVO, as I wouldn't trust the stock heatsink when summer decides to roll around.Very satisfied with my purchase!

Comment:
I bought it together with Noctua D14. So far haven't seen 45 degrees or higher most of the time its 29-32. I would highly recommend it.

I have this baby sitting on an Asus Sabertooth Z77 board, with an Antec 920 cooler. If I turn the cooler right up, under full load c 4.5 ghz 1.23 vcore it stays around 74 Celsius. I love it. Huge upgrade, even from my i7 920

Comment:
this is a good high end cpu that is good for its price. I love it and it runs super smooth on my computer.

Comment:
Bought this a few weeks ago, have it clocked to 4.5ghz for daily use, had it as high as 5.0ghz. Runs at 27 degrees at idle on a good cooling system, and it is blazingly fast.

Comment:
Works incredibly well and fast and at the current sale price ($309) it's definitely worth it. I am not using it with the standard fan/heatsink so I can't speak to that, but I am completely happy with this processor and would highly recommend it. It also overclocks great.

Comment:
This CPU is fast. It works. The stock HSF is an old design but its quiet.

Comment:
Good chip. i dont happen to see the voltage issue with my chip. pushed it to 4.8ghz easily

Comment:
Overclocked at 4.3 at first boot, still running at 4.3, never did a shutdown this week and running flawlessly at 35C average. Didn't have a chance to torture test it but I will soon. Definitely would buy another one for a future build. 100% Satisfied of my purchase. Thank You

Comment:
This processor is awesome. Out of the box you get wicked performance, and it only gets better. However the heatsink and fan included are poorly made, so I would highly recommend getting a better heatsink if you are going to overclock this.

Comment:
amazing. anything i throw at this beast it will handle no problem. it was between this and the i5. glad i went with this one. would buy again for other builds coming up.

Comment:
Great overclocking getting 4.1 GHz, runs fast and stable. Highly recommended processor.

Comment:
very nice processer overclocked to 4.9ghz

Comment:
Great cpu - havent had a chance to test/overcloak yet but will update  later

Comment:
This is a fantastic processor. It managed some awesome overclocks (4.8ghz on an H80 setup stable) and really performs like a dream. The only gripe is the price. Intel is on top vs AMD right now and knows it so their processors are being sold at a slight premium. With that said, its fairly reasonable.. but still abit on the high side.
