Not a problem. Good chip. Just wish I could OC it more than 4.6 :/

It's a quad i7! Very fast, would definitely buy again if needed.

I don't OC, but this processor can be overclocked reliably to at least 4.4GHz and above. The stock fan cools fine, even when playing high-end games like Far Cry4 and CoD Ghosts; Advanced Warfare, etc. It does not go above about 60C, and cools rapidly to about 28-35C @idle. I bought this i7 because of it's stock speed, and because I won't OC it, and want fast stock equipment that is reliable. Also, it is one of the reasons my Windows Experience Index has climbed to 7.8--even though the processor is the lowest score I have. I am running a 2666MHz FSB and RAM on a Z97 platform with a SSD and a GTX970, and expect it to be very front-running for years to come. I looked long and hard for the right processor, and believe I have found it! Though it is only a quad-core, it doesn't lack any performance I can see in a usage environment. There will always be higher performance numbers--but This proc. didn't cost a grand either. Some say it gets hot; not so with stock settings. Gotta get water cooling or a larger heatsink/fan if you want to play numbers, instead of enjoying it's stock big-block power for gaming and other applications.

Great multi purpose CPU. I game and use Ableton Live 9 for music production. I can have tons of VSTs running with 32%-45% CPU usage. No issues at all. i didn't use the stock cooler
