Pros: Fast processor, good at multitasking, games run well, runs cooler than the QX9775 and 9770 extremes, can be air cooled (at low fan speeds) and easily overclocked without cranking up the volts too high. Installs easily into any X58 based motherboard, cooling solutions are easy to install as well. from Newegg.com Pros: This chip rocks! I don't know what people are thinking saying they get minimal system performance boosts. I changed from an Intel Dual core Preslor chip running at 3.4 800mhz fsb. This chip blows that away. from Newegg.com basically the AMD Phenom II X4 955 HDZ955FBGIBOX 3.2 GHz/6 MB L3/125W Processor, but for 4x the price and less stable when overclocked. What's the point again? from Amazon.com Pros: Its intel. They are the best CPU chip manufacturer out there and their CPUs are really great. from Newegg.com Pros: Solid CPU. Runs 4.06GHz @ 1.375 vcore. from Newegg.com Pros: This puppy went into a Asus Rampage II Gene and it screams: I was able to OC very easily with the stock CPU cooler running at 3.7 GHz. There is no stuttering at all everything is smooth. from Newegg.com I tried other chips in the computer, I do not recomend it because it is time consuming, but you will see the difference. Cons: ... It is expensive, but I had to for the rest of the computer Other Thoughts: iI7-965 Extreme EditionOCZ Reaper Tri Channel 6G DDR3 Memory 2000MHzASUS RAMPAGE II EXTREME intel x58 motherboardCooler Master Real Power Pro 1250 Watt Power SupplyWD 1TB 7200 RPM 32MB Cache SATA (x2)DUAL EXGA GTX 295'sFULL LIQUID COOLING ON A HAF 932 from Newegg.com Pros: easy overclock, extremely fast Cons: price but worth it Other Thoughts: Build:EVGA X58 3X SLI12 GIG CORSAIR DOMINATOR DDR3-1600EVGA NVIDIA GTX295 RED EDITIONINTEL CORE i7 965 EXTREME 3.2 overclocked to 4.0ABS TAGAN 1100W POWER SUPPLY1TB SEAGATE BARRACUDACOOLER MASTER V8 CPU COOLER from Newegg.com Pros: unlocked multiplier. makes life a little easier. from Newegg.com Pros: This is truly the peak of the Intel chips, and it knocks amd out of the park (and thats an understatement). Many of the negative reviewers are obviously amd fans who have probably never owned this chip at all. from Newegg.com
