What customers say about "Details"
Intel Xeon E3-1225 v5 CPU Processor
- Xeon has a great socket, I like it.
- Excellent core performance due to the socket.
- FCLGA1151 is an excellent socket, efficient, and up-to-date.
- There were no problems installing socket 1151.
- LGA1151 socket is easy to install, Xeon works great.
Intel Core i5-6600K Desktop Processor
- Its pretty fast, and the integrated graphics are doing wonder while I wait for my GPU to arrive!
- Integrated graphics are actually doing pretty well. I am playing blade and soul with no gpu at high settings in 1080p and I get around 35-40 FPS.
- Works like a charm. Runs real cool and got a good boost clock of 4.2 Ghz.
- Great CPU. I'll overclock it when I get a water cooler.
- Amazing cpu for gaming. Super fast.

What customers say about "Technical Specifications"
Intel Xeon E3-1225 v5 CPU Processor
- It works stably, I did not notice any lags.
- This Xeon has good energy efficiency.
- Powerful processor, cool and efficient.
- A very positive experience. Works well, does not lag, or overheat.
- E3-1225 is an excellent Xeon representative, excellent performance/quality ratio.
Intel Core i5-6600K Desktop Processor
- All i can say is that you can run games in 4k at over 60 fps and OBS rendering at 1080 at 60fps. Running mine at 4.8 ghz on all cores.
- When I use Core-temp its free download to look how safe temperature during the game and its seem okay with almost less then 40c (104f) and its very fast processor.
- I've had no issues with gaming, software, or any other tasks running on my PC.
- I have had very stable temperatures using a Hyper 212 Evo. Would recommend this to anyone upgrading on a budget.
- Standard Intel processor. I have not overclocked or adjusted this CPU. The temperature runs around 40C.

What customers say about "Cache And Memory Specifications"
Intel Xeon E3-1225 v5 CPU Processor
- 8 MB of cache is enough for games and work.
- A very efficient processor that does not overheat, big L3 cache!
- A good server processor, a lot of cache at all levels.
- This CPU has a fast memory bandwidth.
- It supports up to 64Gb of RAM, impressive!
Intel Core i5-6600K Desktop Processor
- Used this processor for my friends gaming build. Does the job great and is very fast and cool. Temps do not exceed 43 degrees Celsius on air cooling.
- This processor very fast and easy to install, i like it. It worth it. I would recommend it. I am very satisfy with my purchase. I would buy it again. Thank you
- I can't complain, this processor is fast and efficient. Right out of the box I was getting 3.9 Ghz without any overclock.
- New DDR4 memory has been a disappointment too (but finally improving in price and clock speed).
- Also Skylake CPU is overall no faster than the previous generation. New DDR4 memory has been a disappointment too (but finally improving in price and clock speed).
