What People Are Saying Give it to me straight
Socket Type
by battleaxe231 (Jul, 2012)On my GA-Z77M-D3H board I can overclock the cpu to 3300MHz by setting the multiplier to 33x100MHz = 3300MHz.
by battleaxe231 (Jul, 2012)It can go from 1100MHz all the way up to 3100MHz.
by Kusanagi (Jan, 2012)I have since upgraded my motherboard to a P67, which offered the full 35x multiplier and with that managed to get clock speeds of up to 3535 mhz (3.5ghz) , at that rating the CPU is capable of matching an i7 950 @ stock - pretty good going for the runt of the Sandybridge i5 litter.
Gaming
by battleaxe231 (Jul, 2012)This cpu is sufficient for gaming, surfing the web, managing documents, everything!
Price
by Kusanagi (Jan, 2012)Definitely a great processor, there are better ones out there - and they are all far more expensive than this one - i guess it just depends how much your not willing to spend.
