Review: Great Processor - I bought the i7-875 processor to build my first custom system. I like to keep desktops for 7-8 years so I wanted a high end processor. I purchased an ASUS P7P55d-E Pro motherboard for this processor even though I have no overclocking experience. Installed the processor with the basic 2.93ghz performance. Easily overclocked it using an air cooler to 3.91ghz just for fun. Don't forget to purchase a cooler for this chip or since it does not come with one. I'm running the processor everyday at 3.45ghz with no issues core temp around 51C when it's running full bore and 38C for most jobs. Jobs which took 11 minutues in the past to load not load in 2 minutes. Previous processor P4 3.2ghz. I bought Crysis just to stress the processor and graphics and the game runs smoothly with no hesitation. I highly recommend this processor to anyone wanting high end performance at a budget price. It's more expensive than a AMD 6 core and has better performance. Since it has fewer cores it actually performs all of my task faster (more power than the AMD overall and more power per core). The seller shipped the item quickly and it arrived on time in about 4 days. I give the seller and the processor 5 stars. I'm one happy customer!!!! Review: Very Fast - I have owned this for a month now. Very fast chip. Running it 24/7 at 4Ghz (133x30) on EVGA P55 FTW 200. I still don't know what the safe max CPU VTT is for this Lynnfield chip. I have seen some documentation that says 1.21v is the max and I have also seen some that says 1.4v is the max. Again I am talking about Max CPU VTT and NOT the max CPU core voltage, which many of you are probably thinking of. I have had it to 4.13 Ghz, but benches were the same as 4Ghz. 4Ghz idles at 27C and loads at 67C with a few hours of Prime 95. 8 hours of Crysis and BFB2 only loads it to about 50C Max. Hopefully the max safe VTT is indeed the 1.4v, Once I find out for sure I'll take this puppy to 4.3 to 4.5, Until I know for sure I am using 1.15v VTT with the 4Ghz with fully loaded 1.27v VCore Some enthusiasts might buy the 860 for a little less money, but I think the higher base clock and the unlocked multi's of this chip are MORE than worth a few extra dollars over the 860. ## Features - 2.93 GHz with Intel Turbo Boost speed up to 3.60 GHz - 8 MG Intel Smart Cache - Quad-core with eight-way multi-task processing - Socket LGA1156 - 95 watt TDP ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B003LD07LU | | Best Sellers Rank | #377 in Computer CPU Processors | | Brand | Intel | | Cache Memory Installed Size | 8 | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 4.4 out of 5 stars (33) | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00735858214568 | | Item Weight | 3.2 ounces | | Manufacturer | Intel | | Model Number | BX80605I7875K | | Platform | Windows | | Processor Brand | Intel | | Processor Core Count | 4 | | Processor Count | 1 | | Processor Series | Core i7 | | Processor Socket | LGA 1156 | | Processor Speed | 2.93 | | Secondary Cache | 8 MB | | UPC | 735858214568 | | Warranty Description | Three year limited warranty | | Wattage | 95 watts | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Intel - **CPU Manufacturer:** Intel - **CPU Model:** Core i7 - **CPU Socket:** LGA 1156 - **CPU Speed:** 2.93 ## Images ![Intel Core i7-875K Processor 2.93 GHz 8 MB Cache Socket LGA1156 - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/A1IUmmbJ0fL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: Would this for on asus m5a97 am3+?** A: No, that motherboard is for AMD processors only (those that support the Socket AM3) NOT Intel ones. **Q: Does this come with heatsink?** A: no fan or heatsink **Q: Does it work on imac 2010?** A: I found this link for you that shows an i3 to i7-870 imac upgrade.
