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

Revainrating 4 out of 5

The product is good, there are only a few minor flaws.

Different pros: Advantages are known: very fast, cold, well pursued. Given the overclocking potential - the best choice for today. In terms of price / quality ratio, it may be slightly inferior to 2500K, but in relative terms, the overpayment is small. Cons: I took it to use the built-in video, which is more powerful in the K version than in the version without K. Although, due to the use of an H67 motherboard that supports built-in video, I parted with overclocking, which I don’t really need. Considering the games I play, the built-in video should be enough. Well, I collected a quiet system. Embedded video performance is satisfactory on average. Starcraft 2 runs very fast (on the minimum graphics of course). On the other hand, in the usual Counter-strike (a game 12 years ago, yeah), when a grenade explodes in front of the camera, FPS sags, I don’t know what it is connected with, but this happened on my first ancient video card (which had 8 mb memory). But the main drawback, which greatly upset - the inability to set 120 Hz on my monitor when using the built-in video (and my monitor supports 120 Hz). When looking for a solution to this problem, it turned out that on some monitors, embedded video has problems displaying and native resolutions. In general, it was not possible to set the correct screen refresh rate, perhaps this will be fixed in future drivers. So far, the integrated graphics are very raw. I regret my choice. It would be better to take some kind of passively cooled Radeon 5570 and a motherboard for overclocking.
