This cpu comes with a cooler, the same cooler that came with my E8400 cpu in 2009, which was a surprise when I opened the box. The cooler is fine unless you want to overclock.

The i5 3570k is overclockable, and you can tell this from the k in its model number.

I got this, and was playing Skyrim full screen with windows task manager, permformance tab, showing on my second screen. None of the 4 cores seemed stressed out and the game was silky smooth. I then played skyrim with a hd movie playing on my second screen and skyrim didn't skip a beat. My E8400 couldn't handle that and it was overclocked by quite a bit.

I looked at getting an AMD FX 8 core cpu, but that costs about the same, is slower most of the time and the deciding factor was the AMD FX chips use far more electricity than the intel cpu's.

This cpu comes with built in hd4000 graphics, a built in graphics "card", It is not really upto gaming, but if you have to remove your graphics card for some reason, it is there as a back up. I intend to remove my graphics card and make a low profile home theatre pc when I upgrade this cpu, as the graphics should handle movies.

The hd4000 graphics also means you can use Lucid's Virtua MVP. That is a way of using the graphics on the cpu to help out with games or save energy, but I have not had much luck with it so far, and I do not regarde this as much of a selling point. Time will tell as Lucid sorts the software out for it.

If you buy this cpu and decide to overclock it, Intel has a tuning replacement plan. This means you pay 20 dollars and if you fry the cpu, they will send you a new one. Just don't bin the retail box like I did, you need to send the cpu back in it................

I can't really add anything to the highly technical reviews you can find on any of the big tech sites, so I'll cut to the chase.

This chip is incredible.

Even at stock frequencies it flies through tasks you throw at it. Video encoding, BOINC projects, recent game titles; The 3570K doesn't care.

If you were wondering whether to get this CPU or the 2500K, I'd advise you to check prices. When I bought mine, the difference was £8, so I opted for the 3570K's lower power consumption and 5-10% better performance. If you get the older chip for around £150 and this one still stays above £170, you might choose otherwise.

That's on stock frequency. I wouldn't run a K series CPU on stock, though. While I have no experience with overclocking Sandy Bridge, I'm very pleased with what this i5 Ivy Bridge brings to the table. I'm at 4.4 ghz at 1.215V with max temps under 75C in 4-thread Prime95, which is the most heat you can possibly generate. Even folding Einsten@home 7/24 brings it to 67-69C at most, which for these chips is well within safe territory.

For anyone who cares to compare their current setup, Hyper PI 4M calculated on 4-threads gives a result between 47.8 and 48.4 seconds.

Oh, and Amazon ships like they mean business. I ordered it using Prime, and it took them 16 hours to deliver it (London address).

I'm very well pleased and would recommend it to anyone thinking about building a PC that doesn't bat an eye at the most demanding games or video encoding.

The only thing I'm baffled by is the size of the stock cooler. The aluminium-copper heatsink is barely 2 centimetres high, if that. I have a hard time imagining it's capable of keeping the processor under 70C at stock voltage and frequencies.

I am primarily using this cpu to play games of all types at the highest settings - I have not used it for any CAD use.

This plays everything very smoothly - from games like skyrim to fps games such as CoD or Battlefield. I have had no hiccups or lag issues in the slightest.

I am using it in conjunction with a 7850 graphics card and 16gb or crucial ram. I would highly recommend this cpu for gaming.

I purchased this cpu after looking at reviews comparing it with the i7. Whilst the i7s apparently provide better processing power for highly intensive CAD programmes it apparently makes very little/no difference in performance on a variety of games.

Box arrived a little worse for wear which immediately raised some suspicions that the product had been tampered with i.e. was a refurb/2nd hand and not new. The CPU itself had some small scuff marks on it which also fed these suspicions. The product itself seems to work fine. I haven't got round to over-clocking it yet so I haven't been able to see its full potential. My suspicions are probably completely unfounded, the seller appears to be quite reputable according to the other reviews and I don't want to be making any wild allegations. Overall the product works, so I'm happy and it's impossible for me to know if it is genuinely new or not.

I did a LOT of research for my new build and decided on getting this little beauty. I was undecided between the Ivy bridge or save a few quid and get the older sandy.
This chip is outstanding i have managed to over clock to 4.8ghz on air though i current run at 4.4 as i find this is more than enough for my needs :)
This cpu comes with integrated hd4000 graphics, which is ok but not really up to running games at a decent lvl although you can use Lucid's Virtua MVP. Lucid use's the graphics on the cpu to help out with games, this basically makes your pc use both the on-board gpx and your own discrete gpx card as a virtual SLI. it doesn't work with everything though when it does work it's outstanding. I currently have a GTX560ti and can run through BF3 at 1920x1080 with everything at max detail without any lag or slowdown.
Unlike it's big brother i7 Hyperthreading isn't a part of this cpu and tbh you really don't need it for a gaming rig.
Overall another excellent cpu from Intel just remember if you want to overclock make sure you get the "K" version as it's fully unlocked, it does run hot though Intel have claimed this is normal for this cpu i'd recommend an aftermarket cooler as the stock cooler is not going to cut it.
Buy this and you won't be disappointed, it will work fine in a Z68 board though in Z77 board you can fully utilise all it's features.
