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

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Very high quality product, it's not the first time I bought it.

I assembled a computer based on an Intel Core i7-2600K processor. Was pleasantly surprised. Together with the ASUS P8P67 EVO motherboard and the Scythe SCNJ-3000 Ninja 3 cooler, the processor operates absolutely stably at a frequency of 5.0 GHz (this is at a nominal value of 3.4 !) . During idle, the frequency drops to 1.6. The purchase is extremely satisfied. Perhaps the best of the Intel processors of the upper middle segment. The most affordable of the most powerful. But fans of SLI and CrossFire systems will not work, because on socket 1155, and motherboards for this socket do not provide PCI Express 2.0 x16 dual at x16 video cards, but only dual at x8. But for those who have 1 video card - I see no obstacles.

Pros
  • Cold, fast, affordable.
Cons
  • Socket 1155, based on this socket, 6 and 8 core processors are not expected, which means that after a certain time you will have to change both the processor and the motherboard.
