Pros: Easy to install Runs at low temperature, i.e. 39 C. Fast and snappy Videos look great on my 2560 x 1400 Asus monitor Low power consumption

Cons: I don't really like the Intel cooling fan. Expensive

Overall Review: I upgraded from an I5-4570 that I've had for almost 3 years. I've been waiting for availability of the I7-5775c and Newegg finally carried it in stock. I updated the bios of my Gigabyte Z97x UD5H BK board and it booted with no problems at all.

Pros: Terrific performance and temp is so low can easily cool system with one fan at very low speed. Probably wouldn't even need that single fan. System is inaudible from as near as 1 foot away. Don't sacrifice any function - have virtualization and very good imbedded graphics performance.

Cons: none

Pros: great performance when overclocked, pretty much a skylake in a 1150 socket. amazing IGP fps level 4 cache is neat works with ddr3-2400 1.65v memory

Cons: can't overclock that far but i'm not sure how much of that is the CPU or MOBOs not knowing what to allow this unlocked cpu to do

Overall Review: i'd recommend this for people who like living on the edge. you don't wanna get what everyone else has and you don't mind some weird quarks

Pros: The i7-5775c is one of the best CPUs, and arguably the best, for the LGA 1150 platform. My minimum frame rate in Deus Ex: MD rose by 5+ FPS over my i5-4690, crucial when maintaining 60 FPS is tough in this demanding title. Temperatures hit a max of 50c while gaming! Definitely the best integrated graphics solution for this platform.

Cons: -The slightly lower power usage happened to hit my system's coil whine "sweet spot," causing my PSU to whine while gaming. Not too noticeable with headphones though.

Overall Review: If your motherboard only supports up to 1600 MHz RAM, this is a good choice for gaming with a dedicated GPU. It will usually match or beat the 4790K while using less power. However, with very fast DDR3 RAM, the 4790K consistently wins. The reason for this is because the 5775c's 128 MB L4 cache helps alleviate system memory bottlenecks, a common problem in today's bandwidth demanding games. But without a system memory bottleneck, the 4790Ks 4.4 GHz max clock speed will always beat out the 5775c with its 3.7 GHz max turbo. In non-gaming benchmarks, the 4790K almost always wins regardless of RAM speed, however the 5775c will rarely perform worse than a 4770K, so don't think you're losing much with the 5775c. edit (2017): Pcgameshardware's Ryzen review included the 5775c for games testing. You can see the 5775c keeping up with the 7700K while consistently passing the 4790K by large margins. Link: http://www.pcgameshardware.de/Ryzen-7-1800X-CPU-265804/Tests/Test-Review-1222033/

Overall Review: At first, my "ASUS GRYPHON Z97" wouldn't boot with my i7-5775c in place. Yet, when my i7-4790s was in place, everything worked fine. I thought updating to the latest BIOS would be enough; it wasn't. I thought the chip was bad; it wasn't. The solution: Rename "GRYPHON-Z97-ASUS-2801.CAP" (the latest BIOS) to "Z97GP.CAP". Put it in the root folder of a USB stick ( NTFS formatted ), in the special USB port. ShutDown. Remove the i7-4790s. Put in the i7-5775c. Press the "BIOS FLASH" button for 3 seconds. Wait for it to stop blinking ( the USB stick blinks too ). "CoreTemp" says my OverClocked i7-5775c is 27°C ( 80°F ), drawing 4 Watts; my i7-4790s was 37°C ( 99°F ), drawing 16 Watts. I use the provided fan. It's as cold as ice but, for me, it doesn't perform any better than my i7-4790s. I'm running Win10 on a 3840 x 2160 IPS monitor. I was hoping for improved performance when playing 4096x2160, 60 fps videos; sadly, it didn't happen ( but it's a hair better ). By the way, Zoom Player 12.1, the latest beta, was a _huge_ upgrade for me. Previously, my HighContrast Theme (Win10) broke EVR ( "Enhanced Video Renderer", MicroSoft's latest, post VMR9 ). FullScreen videos, in Windows Mode ( NonExclusive ), showed tearing, -- and my only alternative, VMR9, couldn't do 4096x2160, 60 fps ! After upgrading to zPlayer 12.1, I had to turn off "Smart Play"; i.e. let MicroSoft decide what filters/decoders to use. With that, 4096x2160, 60 fps videos play fine ( but seeking is slow ).

Pros: Easy Setup Works Great Built-in Graphics are great

Cons: None

Overall Review: I liked that this helped my computer get up and running while I saved for a better graphics card.
