Pros: 2.93GHz + Intel? Turbo Boost Technology = 3.2GHz. from Newegg.com Pros: Very good to work with installation wise. I was a bit apprehensive at the pricy mistake if I goofed up and cracked it. It runs well except for a strange error and blue screen (on very limited frequency) I am getting it may need to be exchanged becuase they can't figure out what it is but it has to do with power in one of the cores only. Cons: PRICE OF COURSE! from Newegg.com Cons: Stock heatsink is garbage, but we know that, the price could have dropped by now. 950 came out a week later, eh... Other Thoughts: I also have 920 that runs at 2.6GHz but warmer and I was wondering if 940 is worth the extra cost, but heck, why not. Neither CPU will run at 4GHz without significant increase in voltages and I don't like that idea, I'm not a hard core overclocker I want speed and stability. from Newegg.com Pros: Fast Cons: none Other Thoughts: A great buy to speed up your pc i used it to build my own custom pc and it is awesome. SpecsMobo msi X-58 prowestern digital caviar black 1tb 7200i7-940 2.93evga gtx 260 super over clocked graphics card12 gigs of OCZ ddr3 Rosewill 950watt psu from Newegg.com Pros: Worked right out of the box no problems yet Cons: it gets very hot Other Thoughts: none that may seem intresting from Newegg.com I am in heaven.... Cons: ...but the heat feels like hell. Cores at 47 degrees or higher with the highest core at 52 at idle. Normal load puts them in the upper 50's and 60's with Video rendering putting them in the upper 80's and 90's. from Newegg.com Pros: This chip is awsome! My hat off to intell on this one. No problems on 1st boot, no problems at all to date. from Newegg.com Pros: Matched up nicely with my P6T Deluxe V2. Nice combination. from Newegg.com Pros: Have this i7 running at 4Ghz for a 2.93 that aint bad. Water cooling makes it in the 50C range. from Newegg.com Pros: Just buy a Core i7. No matter which, you will be happy. from Newegg.com
