 Rating: - Wonderful CPUI build a few 1156&1366 PC recently, used i7-930,920,i7-860,i5-750,650,661. this i7-860 is excellent CPU, 32nm technology, so heat is never a problem, runs extremely stable, Wonderful CPU, no Con expereienced. Rating: - An Excellent i7 (1156) ChoiceOK, with the exception of the 980X, which is insanely expensive (wait for the locked version coming out later), this is the best CPU Intel makes. It is a steal at this price. The unlocked i7 1156 is also a great value, for about $50 more than the 860. This will do all that you need, unless you are a professional animator or video editor. I have built many Intel boxes...and this will be the CPU in my next build. Again, forget about dropping $1,000 on a 980X, unless you are made of money and have a need to impress your friends with the specs on your CPU. To me, the specs of your wallet are more important than the specs of your CPU...within reason. Rating: - TEN BUCKS OUT OF TEN!!I put together a new computer from scratch for the first time, instead of rebuilding existing units. I definitely needed to rebuild a few before trying this, BUT Intel and the other companies ARE making it much easier to do this. The major pieces are an Intel DP55SB Extreme mobo, i7 860 processor, 650wd-HD(64mb cache-6gbt/sec.), Creative X-Fi Titanium sound, Sony 7241 DVD-RW w/lightscribe, Win7pro64, 2x2gb Patriot Viper 1600 RAM(still have two empty slots), and Sapphire HD5750 card. I got a deal on a couple of pieces, and was able to put this together for $1,100, and saved $200 with some special deals I received, so really $1,400. Amazon is an awesome place to put a computer together. My first DP55sb they shipped me had a big gash in the box, but not the brown outer box(?), and they took it right back. They sent me a new one OVERNIGHT!! I bought the w7x64ult, but got a w7pro64 for almost nothing from a friend, and shipped back the Ultimate to Amazon. They charged me a couple ...

Cons: I upgraded from a Core 2 Quad Q6600 and I certainly feel the difference, but my Windows Experience index went from 7.3 to 7.5, I was expecting a little bit more. Other thoughts: usually I don't O.C. my computer so I can't really share my opinion about the CPU behavior during that process. Rating: - Excellent CPUNot a lot to say here. This is a great, powerful CPU that overclocks well. Easily can be pushed to 3.8Ghz on air cooling, while maintaining acceptable temperatures. It was a huge upgrade over an E8400 (overclocked to 3.6Ghz), in gaming as well as multitasking in apps like Photoshop, Visual Studio, and SQL Server. Turbo mode on these chips is excellent when using single thread apps. The performance of the Turbo mode is better than the 1366 socket brothers and sisters. If you're an avid overclocker, this means nothing, because you'll likely have that option turned off to manually handle it. It's a beast of a chip that will definitely increase all of your benchmarks in an upgrade form previous technology. |
