The retail version of this processor comes with Intel's standard CPU cooler which is cylindrical, but reasonably effective with very mild overclocking. There is a small user manual and includes a nice, shiny Core i7 sticker for your computer case. The heatsink also includes pre-applied thermal compound so that saves you time and some money as well. The processor is something revolutionary - the performance gain that it has over my old 2.6GHz dual core processor is out of this world. I am using it with an Asus P6T motherboard and 6GB of DDR3 ram in a 3x2GB configuration (triple channel configuration) as Intel recommends this for best performance. The CPU runs so cool for a quad core processor, yet it is so powerful. My processor idles at 38deg C and tops 59Deg C when on full load at 2.67GHz but if I increase my fan speeds, I can drop the temps by 2 degrees. It overclocks like a dream - I can easily reach 3.2GHz with the stock cooler but I took the precaution of adding proper thermal paste (silver based). Multi-processing is effortless - I can watch TV, burn a DVD, surf the internet, download files and run a game in a window all at the same time and the processor is still asking to be pushed. I am using a 64bit operating system though to take full advantage of my 6GB of RAM - and 1GB of video ram. Pair this CPU with a good graphics card, and you won't even consider overclocking as it runs so well. For those who are interested, I am able to achieve over 15,000 on 3DMark 2006 benchmark. The CPU alone scores around 5,000 points - to put that into perspective, my AMD Fx60 2.6GHz dual core could not even manage 2,000 points. If you intend getting this processor, be aware that you need to get a socket 1366 motherboard and you must use DDR3 RAM. You also need a power supply that has 1x 8pin CPU and 1x24 pin power connectors. If you add a good graphics card, you need at least a 600watt power supply if you want to do some light overclocking. Personally, I am using an 850watt PSU for more stability and future expandability. Note that the Core i7 920 has locked multipliers so you have to play around with the QPI speeds to change the core speeds. The memory controller is integrated into the CPU so your northbridge almost disappears from motherboard designs. The Asus board that I am using has a relatively small heatsink on the northbridge and this gives you more space for your memory and CPU cooler and other cables that you might need to run around that area. It's more expensive than AMD's Phenom II but the performance is unmatched and the overclocking potential is astounding (professionals with good cooling solutions have reached 4GHz - an amature like me reached 3.2GHz and the performance gain was astonishing). Only buy this if you intend changing all the components in your system to the very best in order to maximize it's potential. Fantastic processor.Read full review
I bought this CPU to power my new gaming pc. Very easy to fit and the chip really does perform well. If you plan to overclock make sure you get a D0 stepping model as these tend to allow for higher clock speeds. Standard speed is 2.66GHz but I have this one running @ 4.1Ghz with just a few values changed in the BIOS. At this speed the chip outperforms even the extreme i7's in benchmark tests and costs about a quarter of the price. I have this running on an Asus P6T motherboard with 6gb Corsair DDR3 1600 memory, Nvidia GTS 950 gpu, Corsair H50 watercooling all fitted in a Coolermaster HAF 932 case. This chip is great for gaming and video editing as the 4 cores and 8 threads (Hyperthreading) really shine when pushed hard. One downside is the standard heatsink and fan really need upgrading as these cpu's really want to run hot. I cannot fault my H50 as my temps never get over 70 degrees under Prime95 100% load torture test. If your looking for a new processor with bags of power and will run all the latest software for at least the next 4 years then this is the one. Fit it and max overclock it - you wont be disappointed!!!Read full review
