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

Revainrating 4 out of 5

I like the product, the quality did not disappoint.

The advantages are well known and include the fact that it is very fast, cold, and well pursued. Given its potential for overclocking, it is currently the best option available. It is possible that it has a price-to-quality ratio that is slightly lower than that of 2500K, but in absolute terms, the overpayment is not significant. Having this drawback: I took it with me so that I could use the built-in video, which is more powerful in the version that includes K than in the version that does not include K. However, because I'm using a motherboard with built-in video support (H67), I've had to give up overclocking, even though it's not something I particularly require. When I consider the games that I play, the video that is built in should be sufficient. So, I put together a system that is relatively quiet. The quality of the embedded video is, on the whole, satisfactory. The speed of Starcraft 2 is very high (on the minimum graphics of course). On the other hand, when a grenade explodes in front of the camera in the regular version of Counter-Strike (a game that came out 12 years ago, yeah), the frame rate drops. I have no idea what this has to do with, but it occurred on my very first video card that was quite outdated (which had 8 mb memory). But the most significant drawback, which has caused me a great deal of annoyance, is that I cannot set my monitor to 120 Hz when I am using the built-in video (and my monitor supports 120 Hz). When looking for a solution to this issue, it was discovered that some monitors have issues displaying embedded video at its native resolution, which led to the search for a solution. In general, it was not possible to set the appropriate refresh rate for the screen; perhaps this issue will be addressed in future driver releases. The integrated graphics are currently in a very unfinished state. I am sorry I made that decision. It is recommended that you acquire an overclockable motherboard and a Radeon 5570 graphics card that uses a passive cooling method.
