Rapid, steady, and did I say fast.... It is a bit pricey but it is worth is if you want to stay ahead of the curve. A lot of folks say to get the 920 and overclock but I need to have stability so I opted for this one. You can nonetheless overclock but who will need a lot more than this other than bragging rights..

Excellent proc for my desires and then some. Not a lot of an overclocker so the reality that its locked up doesnt bother me at all. This sucker gets hot! I did three hours of video encoding and temps hit more than 70C. If you are an overclocker you ought to truly wait to do so until some good aftermarket cooling choices come out. Maybe plan out a water cooling technique. Its not a negative idea with these new procs and the X58 chipsets. They get quite hot. Not only that but so do some existing RAM sets (especially if youre usign the full six slots now) and the best end video cards which is only going to add to it. At least get some high speed fans if you dont mind the noise.

Probably greatest processor out there in my value variety. The value is justifiable by the Nehalem Tech, which just about doubles the speed of this factor. Thats why it is 赨 further for this point, when you only appear to get .27GHz much more. None with the CPU but some with intel.Don't use an auto overclocking or made for overclocking motherboard, It will void your warranty and that will stink. Thats since these boards have "Built in" CPU upgrade, which is actually just a hidden overclocking mechanism. I utilized an ASUS board and then attempted an MSI board. Each kept generating the warning appear. This is some thing I want the manufacturer would make a list for a thing just to tell persons that this board might void the warranty. This is an amazing chip with an even far better warranty. Thanks to Intel I got a new CPU with a refreshed warranty, and I purchased one particular of the boards they advised. If you want a CPU for function this may possibly be the best. I use it for my job now and makes it possible for me to be up to 3x more efficient than my co-workers nonetheless employing Pentium. I only play flash games through breaks so, I can't really inform you about games or it's compatibility with them. Nevertheless, I don't believe it's sensible to spent 躔 on a gaming CPU, due to the fact it's not helping you bring in dollars. This is a fantastic CPU, just make sure you ask intel about encouraged motherboards just before you buy one.

Quick, cool, and steady at stock speeds. Don't believe for a minute that this quad and the Core two Quads are developed equally! The i7s tear by way of Vista/XP like absolutely nothing prior to them. Almost ũ/MHz additional than the i7 920! Don't waste your funds on this model if you're going to overclock. You will be in a position to get nearly the identical speed out of the i7 920 by spending the cash on much better cooling, far better RAM/mobo combo. I can't wait for the next generation i7s (i8?). I'm certain a true octo-core ྰ threads) can't be far off. I positive hope Intel sticks to LGA 1366!!! This was an costly switch!

best roll in the hay I ever got I matched anything recomended to make a wonderful gamer for a consumer. I passworded the bios so the consumer could not overclock it and it fried anyway. I make fantastic gaming machines but I really should have under no circumstances strayed from AMD all you mentally challenged folks who create. It's the best overclocker ever I got 1.two more ghz out of it and my games enhanced by one frame per second. develop up! It voids your warranty

Worked perfectly initially time (and given that). This seems to overclock healthily as well, haven't taken the time to see the limit but obtaining to the intense version's 3.2GHz without having rising voltage was no challenge (increasing bclk value). Practically nothing but. Built with an ASUS P6T Deluxe, 6GB Patriot Viper DDR1600, 2x WD 640GB Caviar Black (in RAID0), 2x GTX 280, Vista Ultimate x64.

Quick, effective, and sexy! Bought this intending to OC it up, but so far I haven't even felt the require -- it's quick sufficient to tear by way of anything I can throw at it with overhead to spare. The i7 is to the Core2Duo what the Core2 was to Pentium -- it just blows its predecessor away.The added 2 cycles on the 940 (over the 920) along with Intel's built-in speed moderating technology put this one practically on par with the 965 Intense Edition ྸ cycles) for half the value. Intel's stock heatsink and fan are sub-par for a cpu of this magnitude. Pick up a third-party cpu cooler to protect your investment. Intel isn't coming out with something superior than this till at least mid-2010, so don't look for costs to drop anytime soon.

This is one particular quickly CPU! I purchased it primarily to run Flight Simulator X and it has no problem at all taking what FSX can dish out. Straightforward to OC and see where lots of folks are hitting 4ghz with it. three.six - 3.eight quickly on air cooling. I replaced the stock HSF with a Thermalright 120 cooler and it idles at 39c. The hottest I have observed it at so far was 55c but it wont break till it hits 100c so there is a lot of space nonetheless to clock it. Most are ok running it 70-75c on excellent air cooling. This has a 22x mult which is greater than the 920 so Oc can be accomplished a tiny much easier with much less worries. Zip

Operates flawlessly. Rapidly. Hyperthreading. Idiot-proof installation (much improved more than older line of cpu's). Didn't use stock heat sink, but most likely could have. It, too, is a lot improved more than older lines. None however. Don't think you're going to get the UBISOFT game. Newegg says it's a แ.99 worth. What you get with your processor is a card with a code and a download address. The site says you can buy it for อ.99, not แ.99. The download is ɱGB. Read GIGAbytes. I'm on a rural satellite program and will never ever be in a position to download it. If they're too inexpensive to throw in a DVD, they really should scrap this promo.

The overclock-capacity of this CPU is remarkable, I have it overclocked to 4.2GHz steady (C0 Stepping) with Hyper-Threading on!I have it cooled with a small Corsair H50 too! it does get hot, but with the right airflow, and a fantastic heatsink, it wont matter!I bought this back in 2008, 1 week immediately after they came out, and it was worth the price tag then, and it is now also!Obtain it, you wont regret it, the 1366 line of Intel processors will go down as a single of the finest processors in history!! There is practically nothing poor with this processor, just the stock heatsink, Intel needs to replace them all with a thing a bit far better.

Great chip certainly! Thanks Intel. Blazes via all the latest games with certainly no difficulty, and at half the price of the extreme. This is the very best I7 for the money. Runs hot Hot HOT. Make certain to get an aftermarket chip cooler, as the stock a single will keep up but barely. If you want to insure the life of your chip, don't use the stock one for lengthy. Was idling at 50-60 C and under load was just over 70 C until I upgraded my cooling. 5 Eggs! No query.

This factor screams. The overall performance gap among the Core 2 and this point is just ridiculous. You surely get what you pay for right here, and that’s high functionality. Built a new rig with a core i7 setup and I do not regret spending the further money at all. This was a huge upgrade from my last rig, which my wife is the proud owner of now. Her old rig was a P4 3GHz. The heatsink/fan from Intel blows, GET aftermarket.

Faaaaaaaaaaaast.... Haven't tried to OC this puppy but, but read there's lots of overhead. Below load (with stock cooler) it was operating about 38C, so there is guarantee there. The manual was all pointy/talky for installation (no actual words). I've carried out this just before, but a superior explaination would be nice for significantly less seasoned builders.Mounting pins for stock cooler are kind of flismy. Looking forward to seeing what this poor-boy can do...

Its a fantastic CPU all round, but I was seriously searching to overclock it. I got it stable at three.2GHz -.- As I mentioned above, it only stabilized at three.2GHz -.- As of now, these i7s are heavily restricted, or maybe it was just mine. Either way, if you're searching to overclock you ought to get the Extreme or fall back to the Q9650 Quad-core. I could get that one to 4GHz.I switched back to the Quad-core Q9650.

Not considerably yet; haven't been able to run it extended yet! The stock cooler is junk. It is really difficult to mount, and if this was not my 1st cooler of this variety, I would swear it was broken; only two of the 4 pins went down. Seems odd that two pins would move and have a unique mounting mechanism than the other two. Idling, just in BIOS, the chip showed 85C! We shut off quickly, tried remounting, just doesn't appear to lock down on the ASUS PT6 palm board. could not get beneath 75C at idel.We ordered a Thermalright Ultra -120 Intense RT CPU cooler. will mount that just before we attempt considerably much more, if it fits in the case! Order a cooler when you order the chip.
