Great overclocker, very easy to get to 4.4Ghz. Old school, but still great quality anf to haver fun with if you have a great Z77 chipset motherboard. Can keep up with modern GPU's Can. Om Cinebench R15 you can easily get in the high 700's on multi-core performance.
For an older CPU this thing runs great, You definitely need a better cooler than stock as it gets very hot very quick. No need for something expensive just better aftermarket simple one will do, its keeps it much cooler.
