Excellent, except the cooler ...

This is THE processor time, for gamers and demanding users, it is only in video encoding where i7-2600K better. When used with a motherboard MSI P67A-GD65, OCgenie triggered by accident, the map puts me directly 4.2GHz processor and it is stable and it works, long live the K :)

Do not fool yourself by taking the non-K version, it does not overclock, the multiplier is fixed.

The original cooler is noisy, Intel was better before, hence one less star. I put a Prolimatec Megahalems instead, I want without pushing 4.6Ghz (46 x 100MHz) at 1.28v with cooling with a 12cm fan at 600 rev / min. Needless to say that the PC is super responsive (8GB RAM, SSD Vertex 3).

Intel thank you, and the next, a silent CPU cooler will be much appreciated!
