What customers say about "Technical Specifications"
Intel Core i5-2500K CPU Processor
- I've played with the base frequency and able to get 3.6 GHz and able to go 3.7GHz.
- This is very sturdy chip. I'm happy with the choice.
- I have it running at 3.8 GHz with liquid cooling, and no stability issues. It was able to be overclocked up to 3.7 GHz with stock cooling.
- On a stock cooler, you can easily bump the processor speed up to 3.5+GHz without worry.
- It's beefy for gaming, Photoshop, movies and pretty much anything else you can throw at it.
Intel Xeon X3460 CPU Processor
- It is a powerful quad-core processor, and it has enough performance for my applications.
- Nice chip that you can overclock. I like it.
- With a good fan, you should be able to overclock this processor to 4GHz.
- This one has 4 cores and 8 threads, it's just super for the price, it works very fast.
- This is a powerful and efficient chip from Intel, I recommend it.
