Awesome

Purchased this along with the rest of the products for my first build. This beast will run 5.2GHz and only spike temps of about 70C. For less heat I clock down to 4.6 at 1.37 volts and hit temps of around 55 under load.

7.5 windows 7 rating

I tossed it into an EVGA Z68 SLI and it works flawlessly. Great CPU for the $200 price tag.

The Intel i5 proccessor is fast

Fantastic couldn't ask for better. If upgrade I'll get the i7. The i5 is good for now.

What can I say, Intel

Funny you buy a plug and play and have to spend a whole when you can just build a more than average speed computer with only having to assemble parts and install OS .. my first time doing this and I gotta say I had to use Intel core to make a like I wanted machine .. the i5 is best value to me and the price was great.

Great for what I need

I bought it in a bundle and couldn't be happier. I'm not all that techie, so I'll just say the only thing I wasn't impressed with was the way the fan was mounted. Instructions weren't straight forward enough for me and I was afraid of breaking something while figuring out how to install the fan. Maybe that's why people buy aftermarket fans. Once installed, no problems at all.
