Pros: Have it for a couple years on my bro computer working with a HD7870 moving pretty smooth no complaints.

Cons: Can't run the new Fallout 4 on high graphics and pausing every so often...time for an upgrade I guess.

Pros: This is a fast chip that is a great value for the money. I bought it to go along with a GTX 770 in a gaming rig and while I've upgraded the GPU to a 980 Ti, this processor still has plenty of power to avoid bottlenecking the system. Haven't experienced any problems with overheating, even using the stock cooler, although that's most likely partly due to the high airflow volume.

Cons: In retrospect, I wish I'd bought the K version for overclocking. However, I think that's more my desire to tinker with my machine than any real need to overclock it for performance.

Other Thoughts: Overall, this chip has performed above and beyond the call of duty for the last year. I highly recommend it, and would chose it over an i7 for a gaming rig any day. Use the $100 you save on a better GPU.

Pros: Extremely easy to install on to my motherboard. Came with a heat sink with pre-applied thermal paste. I did not use the provided heat sink, but utilized a self contained water cool system which easily installed on to the chip. This chip has provided great computer performance under heavy load.

Cons: N/A

Pros: I do everything on my computer. Watch/ Play/ Work and sometimes all at the same time. Have never had slowdowns or problems with the thing. Its nice for gaming and just in general stuff.

Cons: none that I had

Other Thoughts: Just overall a great CPU and never needed anything faster for what i do. Which is mostly game.

Pros: Runs really fast
Good price

Cons: None

Other Thoughts: Should have bought the i5-4670k version so i can overclock it.... Oh well, still runs GREAT!
Runs games like BF4, PlanetSide2, and BF3 all at max settings with no problem w/ a GTX 770

Pros: Very fast
Good for gaming

Cons: Kinda bad for streaming

Other Thoughts: It was very good for the price.

Pros: Fast
Easy to Install
Ran games at high framerates even without GPU.

Cons: On startup, the stock fan sounds like it might fly off, but that's to be said about any computer processor fan. Before the BIOS kicks in to control the fan, it runs at full speed.

Other Thoughts: I didn't have the money to buy the parts in one sweep so I bought it in pieces instead, leaving the unnecessary GPU for last. When I installed several games and played them, they remained above 60 frames about 95% of the time. Of course an i7 is better, but overrated for gaming. Minecraft had some visual artifacts prior to installing the GPU.

Pros: Easy to install, really great performance and the stock cooler is surprisingly effective and keeps it at good temperatures.

Cons: It's not the "K" model so it can't be overclocked, but it does have the turbo boost so I don't even think I need to overclock because its stock performance is great.

Other Thoughts: No need to buy a more expensive i7, this CPU has plenty of power for the price.

Pros: Have played max settings on everything I've played, except for games that are still in development.

Cons: Not the "K" version. But shouldn't have to worry about that for a while

Other Thoughts: Make sure when you're building your system you don't throw this in your cart. I believe I made a mistake because there was a Combo special going on with another item I bought.

Pros: -Fast
-Multi-core
-High frequency
-Good cache

Cons: -No Hyperthreading
