Beyond fast CPU

This CPU is extremely fast especially when teamed up with a SSD and top motherboard (I have the ASUS Rampage IV Extreme). I added 32Gb Corsair Vengeance Red DDR3 1866 MHZ and it works beyond my expectations.

Great CPU!

I purchased this CPU with my new build with an ASUS Rampage IV Extreme and it is blazing fast! Make sure you get a decent cooler like the Intel RTS2011LC because it does not include any fans. This CPU replaced my old q9550 and it was a huge upgrade! You can definaetly notice the speed difference especially with sli setups. Before i was bottlenecking my 2 gts 580's and it was frustrating that i could not take advantage of them in todays games like battlefield 3. With this baby it is no problem it never gets over 35% usage in the game! Definately a must buy for the extreme gamer.
