Stortles 5/24/2013 6:37:10 AM Tech Level: 4/5 Ownership: 4/5 Verified Owner	Rating: 5/5Overclockable Monster Pros: -Very capable -Flexible overclocking abilities -Doesn't bottle-neck my high-end GPU (GTX670OC) -Priced awesomely -HD4000 is now a legitamate form of graphics power Cons: -None yet! Other Thoughts: Let's get it straight. No, this isn't as cheap as the AMD equivalent, but it IS an absolute gem. Wonderfully reliable and a super hard worker. I have yet to max out all 4 cores at the same time (in AutoCAD, Inventor, 3dsMax, or in-games like Skyrim, Borderlands 2, Anno 2070). If you're looking for something to overclock, this is the little powerhouse and when I have it cranked up to 4.2ghz, it outperforms my friends' i7. After woke from sleep, core #2 is always double the temp of the other 3. Interesting. Did you find this review helpful? Thanks for the valuable feedback you provided!

N/A 5/22/2013 9:01:23 AM Tech Level: 3/5 Ownership: 4/5 Verified Owner	Rating: 5/5I was an AMD guy. Pros: Simply Incredible Cons: Pricey (but worth it) Other Thoughts: I used AMD on all of my builds before this one. I was always happy with their processors, but this is the first one that has blown me away. I can see now why Intel is more expensive...and the choice of many enthusiasts. This little chip is a tank, and a fast one. I'm glad I forked over the extra $ for this processor. 1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Thanks for the valuable feedback you provided!
Jaiizwaii 5/22/2013 7:39:26 AM Tech Level: 1/5 Ownership: 1/5 Verified Owner	Rating: 4/5Ivy Brigade.... Pros: Intel Graphics, unlocked, speed I guess....well right?? Cons: None at the moment Other Thoughts: From what I see it runs okay. ill update whenever im brave enough to overclock. The Intel Graphics will hold me over until I make a decision on what GPU to get Did you find this review helpful? Thanks for the valuable feedback you provided!
9000 and going 5/22/2013 7:09:25 AM Tech Level: 5/5 Ownership: 3/5 Verified Owner	Rating: 5/5Peer pressure! Pros: Price/performance is exceptional. For any gamer who isn't going to shell out $300+ on a processor, this is the choice. Overclocking is the reason to buy a "K" series. If you're not overclocking do not spend the extra. OC'ing does provide considerable speed advantages. Cons: The heat spreaders on the Ivy Bridge processors have a gap between them and the actual die - it's a very well documented fact (google it). Other Thoughts: Temps will be high under any circumstance unless you use decent thermal paste and a high end aftermarket cooler. I don't want to lead anyone to void their warranty so don't delid your cpu. Without delidding my temps are 28c/50c idle/max. i5-3570K @4.4GHz on Corsair H50/artic silver 5 Did you find this review helpful? Thanks for the valuable feedback you provided!
marcusky 5/22/2013 5:43:19 AM Tech Level: 5/5 Ownership: 4/5 Verified Owner	Rating: 5/5Come on now.... Pros: There isn't much to say about this chip. If you are building a serious game system, (And don't want to fork out the extra for an I7), this is the must have CPU.... It just isn't cost effective to get anything outside of the K series. And newer games like Crysis 3 are beginning to take advantage of all four cores, so the once recommended Dual Core CPU's are becoming obsolete. Cons: None, but I wish Intel sold this OEM for a few dollars less, as I am sure 95% of these that are sold are not using the included heat sink and fan. Other Thoughts: Easily overclocks to 4.0+ ghz. Long gone are the 125-140W CPU's, these newer/lower wattage CPU's leave headroom for OC'ing. It amazes me Intel doesn't make a factory overclocked version of this chip running at 4.0ghz (maybe call it a 3590K) or something... Did you find this review helpful?

Nothingbutcandy 5/21/2013 9:09:42 PM Tech Level: 3/5 Ownership: 4/5 Verified Owner	Rating: 5/5Perfect Pros: i overclocked it at 4.6 GHz and with h110 liquid cooling goes up to 90 degrees on each core - used 100% (Prime95 torture :) ) - awesome processor cheap too!!! Cons: None, if it breaks it would probably be my fault Did you find this review helpful? Thanks for the valuable feedback you provided!
N/A 5/21/2013 9:02:59 PM Tech Level: 5/5 Ownership: 3/5 Verified Owner	Rating: 1/5Defective and overheating Pros: It was great while i got to use it in battlefield 3 a few times,then i start hearing this beeping noise and i know that it isnt normal so i get a popup from norton and i see a whole bunch of high cpu usage inquiries. My cpu is idling at 40-50 degrees idle and sometimes a single core will have 100% usage. It was working flawlessly for two weeks and now im afraid to keep it in the pc because i dont want to damage my other parts. I bought this in a DIY combo and every other part is working great but the CPU, if you guys at newegg could get back to me as soon as possible so i can get back to gaming on this amazing pc cause i only have 10 days to return this i think. Thank you Cons: None this is the best bang for your buck! Other Thoughts: Please respond soon im not sure how this warranty works ive had the processor for almost three weeks.

Oiprac 5/21/2013 7:15:50 PM Tech Level: 4/5 Ownership: 3/5 Verified Owner	Rating: 5/5Fantastic CPU Pros: -Lower power consumption vs. previous models and competitive models. -Integrated graphics makes it easier when installing this into a new build, as drivers for the GPU aren't installed yet. -Unlocked to push it to it's potential (granted proper cooling is implemented) Cons: -Intel's high price is the only one I can think of. Other Thoughts: Installed this on a MSI Z77A-GD65 and it runs flawlessly. Upgraded from AMD's Phenom x6 II 1055t which wasn't all that bad of a processor. I was able to overclock the Phenom from 2.8 to 3.6GHz via ASUS's Core Unlocker. For the 3570k I was able to achieve 4.2GHz from 3.4GHz via MSI's OC Genie II. One great thing is the i5 stays fairly cool at 50C during gaming, even though I'm using the older Corsair H60 to cool it. Another benefit coming from the Phenom is the i5 consumes less power overall. I haven't found much to complain about this CPU. A great buy for any gaming enthusiast out there that wants great performance over the long run and that's unlockable for your overclocking needs.

Chris 5/21/2013 10:36:59 AM Tech Level: 3/5 Ownership: 3/5 Verified Owner	Rating: 5/5Great CPU, does everything including games with ease Pros: Allows me to play current games without any bottlenecking. Does everything you ask it too very quickly. Doesn't get very hot at all with a Coolmaster 212 EVO attached to it. No problems with it so far. Cons: More expensive than AMD CPUs rated at the same speeds and number of cores, but seems worth it. Did you find this review helpful? Thanks for the valuable feedback you provided!
