I have used this processor for well over 2 yrs now, and I can tell you it's a well rounded processor. It's setting on EVGA P55 FTW 200 system board and even thou it's locked It still over clocks well. I ran it 4GHz for a yr. with out any problems. Play's most all new games on high to mid settings, but the truth is MOST game are video card heavy. So the better video card you have better games will do. The real trouble is finding a really good system board for it. EVGA P55 FTW 200 or a MSI GD80 both work well with it.
Amazing! Honestly I would never buy any Intel non K [unlocked] for full price at i5 or i7 level. That is where ebay shines, find someone who swapped up and boom get this for 30-50$ under new and it is a STEAL! My 2010 i3 550 @ 3.8Ghz with a GTX 570 would lag[frame loss] in towns in MMO's or high action in BF3 [3dmark06=17500]. With a i5 3470 @ 3.2Ghz same graphics card 0 lag[frame loss] in town or 64 man servers in bf3 [3dmark06=25400] Did I also mention it removed the bottle neck from the card [I now rock max aa and af on most games]
We have had no problems with this unit, though I did have to blow the dust out of it when I got it. That should have been done before it was sold.
