This is a strong processor for the era. It performs well on almost all tasks under Win 7 and was designed for that era of computing. Cheap, easy to aquire, and not too power hungry, its a decent upgrade for an 1155 socket, when compared against others. Check out the Passmark and Userbenchmark when you need some extra brain for your aging desktop, but you'll see this one can extend the life of your old dual core box, for almost no cost. The easiest upgrade--out, in, thermal paste, cooler attach. Quad core for 25 bucks. Why not?

I've only had this used Ivy bridge i5 installed for a couple of weeks, its working good. I'm generally happy with this upgrade over my i5 2300. The one game I've played on the new CPU Hitman 2016, did experience crashing after the CPU swap in population dense areas of the Paris map, this crashing was resolved after making some tweaks to the game's startup options. While not related to the processor, I did run into some difficulty upgrading the BIOS on my MSI Sandy Bridge motherboard to the Ivy Bridge compatible version.

Gpt this cpu for about 50 canadian dollars and it performs great. Is a bit tricky to find an LGA1155 socket motherboard however.

I knew it would be a good CPU because it wasn't overclocked since it wasn't a K variant. The purchase process was fairly painless.
