I got that processor on sale and was very impressed.Fast, stay cool with the stock BIG Intel heatsink.Planning to buy another one. Shop around

Comment:
This is faraway the best CPU I ever bought. Performance are great. It is easily overcloakable. The included CPU heatsink is kind of accessory for me as I bougth another one which I highly recommend. I haven't done lots of test but I've been able to lower down near 20 degree replacing the stock cooler. Would buy again without any hesitation.

I have always used intel processors and this one works just as well as all the others I have used in the past. I got it on sale for 300 and got a deal on some ram bundled with it. With this processor, running multiple applications and games that just came out on the market is a breeze. With hyper threading the speeds I get seem comparable to six core processors some of my co-workers have. It comes with a nice size heat sink and fan. I would recommend this product to anyone that does more then basic stuff like word files and checking email.

Paired with a P6X58D Premium, was able to get a stable OC at 4.4Ghz. Nice and fast with 8 threads. Upgraded from a E6700 at 3.0Ghz and this is lighning fast compared to the old S775 series.

I have this bad-ass CPU overclocked to 4.4Ghz (without HT) on a Noctua NH-D14.1.35v Core1.33c QPI/VTT81C under LinX loadExceptional.

Great processor for $300 (I got it on sale), I have it running at 4.0GHz with a cool it vantage. I have always used intel chips and this processor continues to sway me towards them.

Comment:
This unit is fast and easily overclockable . I wouldn't use this for low end budget systems as its return for the price is minimal compared to i5 760 for instance.Unless you're dying for a new system, wait for Sandy Bridge.

Easy installation in Asus x58 Sabertooth. Installed Coolermaster 212 and it's running much cooler. No problems encountered so far.Runs well with Windows 7 64bit.

Comment:
This CPI runs at 4.0GHZ at stock voltage. I got much better result than my old i7 920 C0... Is there anything more to say?

Comment:
With the price cut seating this slightly above the i7 930, there's no reason not to go for the 950. The extra couple notches of core multiplier makes overclocking that much more of a breeze. I haven't even pushed it as far as I can. After hitting stable at 4 GHz on 4 hyper threaded cores with just 1.25 volts, I saw no reason to even push further.

Comment:
Bought this for a friend that won't overclock and I got it for the same price of an i7 930. It's basically an i7 930 overclock by intel for the same price, can't ask more than this.

Comment:
got mine for 290 on sale. overclocked it to 4ghz stable 24/7 prime95 heat up to 80c with a noctua nh-d14 amazing cpu

Comment:
I bought this processor on sale, im very impressed how fast those quad core are, i recommend this 1 to everyone!!

Comment:
The overclocking went well. due to the multiplier vs 930, getting to 4ghz was easy. with the current price cut, ÉI got the CPU for 289.99. Great value.

Comment:
For a few more bucks, you can switch your i7 920/930 for i7 950, Why not do it?Run as expected. Folding as expected.

Comment:
was bought as new online but receive it as used; cpu without the protective plastic, contacts were dented within package, fingerprint on cpu =(

Comment:
Seeing 8 cores on my sidebar performance monitor is always fun. Hyperthreading also makes boot faster since it better utilizes processor bandwidth.

Comment:
I was stuck between the i5 and the i7...but for slightly more money, you get a much better processor for day to day tasks. Highly reccomended!

Comment:
Now that's talking about a great CPU for a great price. I really needed a new system and this processor is a big upgrade prior to what I had before but I know I'm gonna switch to six core as soon as the price becomes reasonable.

Comment:
Very stable, easily overclocks to over 4ghz. I am using an Asus premium and got this to 4.025ghz (175f23) at just 1.25v. Heats the only barrier.

Comment:
Fantastic intel i7 cpu, easy overclock to 4.0 ghz with very low voltage of 1.31. super fast cpu and well priced

Comment:
I upgraded from an Intel Core 2 Quad. Probably didn't really need to, but man I could tell the difference in general PC and game performace. Anyone thinking of upgrading from a Core 2, it's worth the money.

Comment:
The fastest CPU I have ever owned. You can really see and feel the speed, and it benchmarks consistently at number 1 or 2. I do not overclock and used the stock fan with MB control and it runs about 60C. Pretty quiet and the fan usually spins around 1100 rpm.

Comment:
I have had it running with Win 7 64 bit for months. 6-gig of ocz platnium ram tripple channel at 2ghz, cooler master tower, evga mobo, gtx 260 super overclocked vidio card. I oc'ed it to 3.8ghz with no problems yet. I would skip the the duo stuff and do it right the first time with the i7.
