Great speed and runs very cool. Quite good graphics power too for onboard. Had a slow laptop for years so this is a big leap for me, but will be a leap for anyone not coming from a top previous generation i7.
This comes with the intel stock cooler and CPU fan which is perfectly adequate (this comes with its own thermal pad so no need for extra thermal paste).
Make sure you have a socket 1155 motherboard and also the B3 revision of it like the Gigabyte SKT-1155 H67M-UD2H-B3 Motherboard since the earlier ones had the sata ii issue.

Deffo best CPU on the planet...
Did not go for the (K) variety because I personally chose not to 'OC' Im very happy with stock 3.3Ghz - 3.7Ghz Turbo Boost Once you need that extra power its always available.
In most benchmarks its already beating most AMD HEXA-CORE CPU's so what does that say, just look on [...] and you will get the evidence,
including YouTube reviews.
If you want a high powered CPU without going over budget well the Intel Sandybridge i5-2500 Core i5 Quad-Core Processor (3.30GHz, 6MB Cache, Socket 1155
is the ticket... One Way! - Only Purchase the (K) if you intend to over-clock, and buy a 'high spec' "Z68 MSI GD65 GEN 3 mobo".HAVE 32X PCI-E BANDWIDTH
Which there's lots to chose from.
Personally the 'non' (K) version is fast enough for all my needs including video rendering, so its no slouch there either..
Thanks for reading...

Must Buy Product!
If your building your own system the CPU choice is now a no-brainer - use Sandybridge!
Intel have managed to introduce the Sandybridge range at mid range price and this processor absolutely flies. It eats other processors in its price range alive for everything and gives the whole AMD range a black eye.When it comes to heavy duty multi-tasking it handles it with no stress and you can process video files faster than anything I've seen so far.Buying this processor means that your 1155 motherboard will be bang up to date, so you will have SATA II, USB 3.0 onboard HD sound and support for the more than adequate Intel HD Graphics (note: to use Intel HD 2000 graphics you need a H67 motherboard). If used with a discrete Graphics card (with P67 motherboard) you will have a blinding gaming rig!
Make sure you get a motherboard with B3 Revision, this fixes SATA issues.
Overall I would wholeheartedly recommend this CPU. I've never used anything at this price that gives you such power.

Great Performance
This is the non K version, so it has a locked multiplayer and it also has the lower HD 2000 integrated graphics on-chip. Read more
