A new PC can provide you with unique and expanded capabilities. And when it is powered by a visibly smart 3rd generation Intel® Core™ processor, it can deliver amazing performance. Smart features give your PC the ability to adapt to your needs, as well as stunning visuals built-in for an enhanced experience that you can both see and feel. You can enjoy a wide selection of entertainment, create and share your great memories, and explore and connect to what interests you most. Rediscover what's possible with a new computer. The only thing more amazing than our technology is what you'll do with it.
Pros:
Good performance for the price, especially as an older-model CPU.
Came with 0.25ml of thermal paste (the syringe is branded "Shin-EtsuMicroSi") as well as an alcohol prep wipe.
Cons:
The package arrived not as expected (and pictured) in the Intel blue packaging, but in a cardboard box. The packaging listed the serial number as "NULL". After some research in the Intel warranty search tool, I found that this processor was not sold as a consumer package, but as a "tray" processor commonly distributed to resellers and businesses. The CPU itself is discontinued, so I expect Newegg is selling leftover tray stock. The product image and page is misleading however, because I expected the normal consumer packaging and warranty. Tray processors come with NO warranty from Intel, though this very store page currently lists a 3-year warranty.
Be aware of this before you buy!
Pros:
- 3.8 Ghz on all cores
- Temps have never risen above 60C with an old Cooler Master Seidon liquid cooler
- 30C at idle
- Can run current (2018-2019) games at mid - high settings @ 60FPS+
- Paired with a 1050 Ti and 16GB 1866 RAM
Cons:
- No hyper-threading which would be nice at this point
- Doesn't make me breakfast?
Overall Review:
- This thing has been running daily for over six years at this point, and has showed very few signs of slowing down.
- Reminds me of the Q6600 in terms of reliability
- I want to upgrade soon, but can't justify it because this thing is still an absolute beast for my needs
- Whenever this thing dies, it will get a special place on my mantle
Pros: Working like a champ and it has been under closed loop liquid cooling (Corsair H100) since day 1, it's now a handme down for my son since he is using this hardware as I upgraded to I7 8700k in Late 2017
Cons: Didn't encounter any
Pros: Good performance before Microsoft's nasty MELTDOWN patch.
Cons:
Like all Intel x86-64 processors, It is vulnerable to MELTDOWN.
The patch from Microsoft is worse than the problem!
30% slowdown??!
Sounds like cleverly Planned Obsolescence to me.
Not too hopeful about getting a class-action refund for the motherboard I purchased for this.
Overall Review: I'm planning on avoiding Intel from now on.
Pros:
- More reliable than my ex wife
- Gone through two GPU's on this CPU build and it still runs stuff over 144fps with a decent graphics card.
- Didn't leave me like my ex
- Stays relatively cool
- Eff you Jennifer
Cons: - Getting old now
Overall Review: Retiring this old girl this month. Its gone through multiple moves throughout the country and played thousands of hours worth of games.
Pros:
+ Pretty much one of the best processors you can get for gaming
+ Stable
+ Efficient
+ Powerful
Cons: - None
Overall Review:
I eventually upgraded to an i7, but the only reason I did was to get more processing power for VR.
For non-VR gaming, this processor packs a punch.
Pros:
This chip is pretty fast, and you are able to overclock it up to about 4.1 GHz before it will start to burn up (I tested it with a Burn Test 100% CPU - highest temp was 75 C)
Would recommend this to a guy who wants a cpu for the wallet.
Cons: None
Loading...
Pros: Brand new (never used) CPU, reasonably priced, arrived quickly and safely due to proper, careful packaging.
Cons: None that I can see so far. I popped it into my wife's computer and it works like a charm. I even turned on the onboard graphics, just for fun, and they work beautifully.
This is not a 9th gen Core i9 so have realistic expectations and this CPU will deliver.
Overall Review: I've done business with E.O.L. Tech Inc before and have never had a single bad experience. They have a great turnaround time, items are always well packaged, and they sell quality merchandise. Speaking of which, this particular item (an Intel Core i5-3570 Ivy Bridge Quad-Core 3.4GHz CPU) is advertised as NOT including a CPU cooler but -- surprise, surprise -- mine came with a cooler! Of course, your mileage may vary.
All in all, it is a pleasure to do business with E.O.L. Tech and I trust them to continue offering quality products at good prices and with great turn around times to boot. I give them high recommendations.
