Review on Ultimate Performance: Intel Core i7-2600 Quad-Core Processor with 8MB Cache and 3.4GHz Speed by Bao Ha ᠌

I took 2600K. Without a cooler, it works for 1 minute. Then my finger began to burn and I turned off the computer. In the future - I will use for games. While I use it with the BUILT-IN vidyuhi and at 4000 GHz. Surprisingly, a crisis has begun. Even more surprising - with medium graphics settings at a resolution . it doesn't matter at what resolution it lags slightly. on the minimum graphics settings, the crisis flies at any resolution. I saw a review that GTA4 flies, which also pleases. Mother on the Z68 chipset - in order to work better with SSD, the built-in video supported, overclocking, hyper-trading. Taking it under the H67 is nonsense - no overclocking. Taking it under P67 is even more nonsense - because at the moment there is no worthy SINGLE video card to match it. In my opinion, it is completely inadequate to take SLI or CrossFire - crazy power consumption even compared to the most powerful processor on the market. Yes, and PCI-E for only one x16 slot. The predicted consumption of the next generation of vidyuhi does not go beyond 200W. As a result, I plan to get not an iron, but a good balanced and economical machine. The current 520W bronze-spec PSU is fine for this. If the budget is limited - take 2500K and mother gigabytes (or asus) on the z68 chipset. Just be careful - not all z68 motherboards support all the features of this chipset. The difference in real applications between 2500k and 2600k is not noticeable. I bought it because of hyper trading and more cash. In fact, with 2600k just a little more margin for the future. And so both prots in toys are the same.
