Paired with my 240GB SSD and 8GB of 1600 Ram, this thing is pretty amazing. I was using AMD Bulldozer before this i7 and the difference is simply incredible. I really havn't even been close to using its potential yet. Have not over clocked it yet. Temps are around 41C idle in my Raven RVZ01 with a Noctua L9i cooler on top of it. Its sitting in a gold plated Gigabyte Gaming 5 Mini ITX MB, which I must say is pretty awesome as well. But, my god, this combination of components is amazing. No GPU yet, but I am saving to fit a GTX 980 Reference in the Raven. I want the best Mini ITX system, and this CPU for 1150 pinout is the best. Maybe in 2 or 3 years I'll consider 2011 and go get some DDR4, but I'd rather wait for the price on that stuff to come down.

Just plain fast. But do invest in more advanced cooling. My old water cooling system didn't fit with the new board, so I'm using the stock fan and hit 100° C already.

Great processor. My recent build is probably the fastest computer I've ever used with this as it's brain. Possibly more power than I'll ever use, but should remain high performance for several years to come. Due to this cpu's efficiency, the provided heatsink should be adequate until I start overclocking it.

Fast, fast fast! Built my first computer in a LONG time a few months ago and used this, along with the ASUS MAXIMUS VII HERO ATX DDR3 2600 LGA 1150 Motherboard and couldn't be happier.

Put the H100i on it and it stays at 25 C on idle and 52 C on load. I have it overclocked to 4.6Ghz

upgraded to this chip as I wanted a cooler running chip over the 4770K and I was going full custom water cooling and wanted a chip that could go 5.0GHz.
