What customers say about "Details"
Intel Xeon E5620 CPU Processor
  • Reliable processor, due to the 32nm process technology.
  • Nice socket, easy to install. Happy with the purchase.
  • Excellent performance for the server processor due to the socket.
  • The socket is outdated, with no potential.
  • FCLGA1366 is already old, the motherboard is hard to find.
Intel Core i7-2600K CPU Processor
  • These 32Nm chips are seriously quick and the Ivy Bridge processors of later this year will fit in the 1155 socket.
  • Installing this thing was a cinch. I am very pleased with this processor.
  • No problems with the installation. Make sure you get a 1155 Motherboard.
  • Installation was a breeze, this is exactly what I was looking for.
  • Love this CPU! It was easy to install and is easy to overclock.

What customers say about "Technical Specifications"
Intel Xeon E5620 CPU Processor
  • Heats up poorly, if not overclocked.
  • It does not heat up, 4 cores, thinks quickly and does not require an upgrade for another couple of years.
  • Heats up a bit! at idle 32 degrees, under load 45!
  • Good CPU, powerful and not expensive.
  • The processor is very hot. Dislike.
Intel Core i7-2600K CPU Processor
  • I am currently running it at 3.8ghz using the stock Intel cooler and it works great.
  • I definitely recommend getting this CPU if you're planning on building your own gaming computer.
  • The factory clock on this is 3.4Ghz. I'm currently pushing 4.4Ghz with air cooling, and without getting extremely hot.
  • This Intel processor is just super fast, really easy to overclock even your grandma can do it.
  • Super Fast. Quad Core 8 Threads with HyperThreading is a the beast.
