It’s a great processor, easy installation/Swap (clean and repaste with quality paste) yet my particular purchase may not hav been the best example as I found my previous i5 was actually performing better in boot times and various tasks... I think this is do to a hot-run or burnt i7 as I bought another and followed the same process and it kicks ass!!!!

It runs great, spent a few weeks testing it with all sorts of stuff, 100% sustained loads on all 8 threads without issue. Turned up all the turbo boosts to max in bios, no issues staying under 45C even with cheap watercooling. No idea if the GPU works; I couldn't care less. I wanted the fastest thing that would fit on my mainboard that (most likely) wouldn't have been overclocked...and this is it.

It's a great CPU overall. A touch old now but greatly improved the performance of an older PC at approximately 1/3 the cost of a comparable new CPU. 4 cores & 8 threads gives plenty of performance for various programs to run simultaneously, combined with a 3.9GHz processing speed helps things like video editing & transcoding or gaming. While transcoding can use 90-100% of the CPU, most games use only 10-25% of the CPU.

When I installed this chip into a 67A motherboard it would not work. After doing some research I found I would have to download and install a bios upgrade to use this processor on my present 67A motherboard. After some thought, I instead bought a used 77A motherboard. I installed the i7-3770 processor and its been working fine ever since. I'm very happy with both purchases (the motherboard, and the i7-3770 processor). If you do go this route make sure you download and install the chipset drivers for any motherboard that you use/purchase along with this processor.

I have an old LGA1155 motherboard and this was the last processor that can support it without overclocking. I tried it and I was very surprised. It is excellent, fast and powerful. 100% recommended.
