Customer Review: BUY THIS CPU
Summary: 5 Stars
Ordered on the night of feb 4th, shipped on the night of feb 5th, delivered to Miami on the 9th with Amazon free Super Saver Shipping. I got it in Trinidad 2 days later. I ordered it the same time with other parts for the computer but they all shipped the day after. The i5 came alone with a weight of 1.20lbs.
I run Windows 7 64 bit and it never chokes with any apps or games and I have not overclocked it yet. If you want a serious gaming system do not spend more on the CPU than this, put the money towards a better graphics card or better SSD. The turbo boost works flawlessly to throttle the CPU instantaneously as necessary. Using the stock cooler I get around 40 degrees celcius when on the net or office apps and depending on how aggressively I set the fan speeds at most it reaches 60 degrees celcius during the day while gaming NFS Shift, Modern Warfare 2, World at War. The CPU never chokes on HD resolutions, AA 2x or 4x on for gaming. The bottle neck for me I think is the GPU and hard drive. Videos run smoothly, there are no freezes or crashes. If I decide to overclock then I will upgrade the stock cooler, the intel stock one is more than adequate for now. It's been a few weeks now with no problems and I am very happy with the build. The pc is not in an air conditioned room so with a/c air you can expect to get slightly lower temps. The temp in the room probably reaches around 30 degrees at peak.
This CPU is amazing value for money, I predict this PC will last me well into the future, and when games get even more intense I can go xfire and get a SSD.
