works great. my Window's power profile and my BIOS overclock has it running from 1.2GHz-4.6Ghz. temps have never passed 55°C with intense 1440p gaming. idles ~37°C.worth the money if you get it on sale ~$320.handles DDR3 2400 RAM with no problem.disappointed that i don't see the huge improvement in games so many tout. my FX8350 @ 4.8GHz got very near the same scores\fps in 3DMark, Tomb Raider, Hitman: Absolution, Dirt3, and others with built-in benchmarks. a slight improvement but not like all the intel fanboys like to cry on forums. i would stick with the FX990\8350 if doing it over.along with my 8GB 290X every game is totally maxed out @ 1080p, mostly maxed @ 1440p. sits right @ 60fps on a 60Hz display.

This is to me the best cpu you can get on the 1155 socket I had an I5- 4750 before I think it was and this cpu is much snappier and handle more applications better with the hyperthreading

Works great so far. It includes a cooling fan that might not do great for overclocking but works fine for normal use. It has a little bit of thermal paste preloaded on the heatsink but doesn't look big enough to cover the whole CPU surface very well. I wiped their thermal paste off and used my own. It has a little Intel inside sticker as well for your computer case.

Perfect for high end gaming computers, If you are on a budget, it's i5 version works just as well, but this one does the trick for it's price.
