    Very fast processor that will run anything. Will work great for most average users with the stock heat sink, however, be forewarned it will get very hot. With the stock heat sink on Prime 95 version 26 it would easily get up to 95-99 C and throttle back. While gaming it would hover around high 70s C. Disabling HyperThreading and Turboboost would clock it back to 4.0 GHz instead of 4.4 GHz which helps temps if you don't have an after market cooler. Around 85 C on Prime 95 and high 60s C during gaming with these disabled.

    Installed a Noctua nh-u12s which drastically help keep better temps which I recommend doing. With this cooler installed I get around mid 70s C on Prime 95 and around mid 50s C during gaming with HT and Turboboost enabled.

    While the stock cooler will work fine in most instances even for gaming, I would recommend to purchase an aftermarket one if you plan on pushing the CPU for extended periods or any overclocking what so ever.

    Fast, great CPU. Stock cooler is a JOKE!

    It blasts through ANYTHING I've thrown at it with ease. There really isn't much else to say that everyone else hasn't already.

    Great cpu, it feels like it wants to be overclocked so badly.

    at 4.0 ghz stock, this thing is about as good a processor for games as money can currently buy since games rely more on frequency of cores than number of cores. 4 cores is plenty. shows up as 8 threads in windows.

    This has worked great with no issues. The packaging was good and arrived timely. Thank you.

    This is a powerhouse of a processor. I wasn't ready to make the jump to more than a quad core yet, and I felt this was the best option for me. In gaming it performs exceptionally. In programming, it let's my IDE compile super fast. I can't comment on the stock fan because I didn't use it. At stock speed with liquid cooling, I'm floating around 30 degrees Celsius.

    Very happy with this purchase.

    Running it a 4.5 GHz with absolutely no heat build up whatever. Programs that maxed my old Pentium PC now run with under 12% CPU performance.

    Its fast, really fast. Software is always 2-3 years behind the hardware so I am hopeful that code will be updated to maximize the potential of this processor.I am comming from a Core 2 Quad 6600 so its a nice little speed improvement. Proof that processor does not make the gaming system, the GPU does.
