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

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Everything is fine, I liked the product, I bought it for a reason.

Without overclocking with the Scythe Ninja 3 cooler in an open case on the Asus P8P67 mother, the temperature at idle is 35-40 degrees, under 100% load it exceeds 65 degrees. For comparison, on the same cooler under the same conditions on Phenom 965 and Athlon 6000+, the idle temperature is 28 degrees at 100% load is less than 50 degrees. An excellent 560W power supply is not enough for this processor, although the 125W Athlone 6000+ was enough with a margin, you will have to spend extra money on a new expensive power supply. I am very dissatisfied with the purchase, I would have known I would have bought a 6-core hair dryer of the 1100th.

Pros
  • Quick
Cons
  • Very hot
