The processor is fast. It overclocks easily. I have had it running quite stably j 3.8 ghz on Air, but because of my case size, under 100% load it would max out around 80c, which although is technically safe for this processor, is a little bit warm for my comfort level

The new quad cores live up to the hype - they run fast and run cool. No issues when paired up with ASUS P6T motherboard.

J'ai acheté ce PCU pour faire un upgrade générale de mon système qui était basée sur un Intel Q6600. Je vois une diférence apréciable malgré que mon ancien CPU était quand même pas mal performent. Jumelé avec Windows 7 64 bit, mon système est très performent et tout ce qu'il y a de moderne.

The cpu is awesome, although i really would have liked for the page on ncix to say what stepping, because i wanted D0, but didn't notice that there was two different i7 920's on ncix, one of them being the D0 version and the other (the one i bought) being something else that is unknown as it is not stated

I bought this for a new build for processing hd movies and it doesn't hesitate to get the job done. It runs really cool with my Noctua and is fast enough to never see any lag on multi tasking. If you're ready to spend money on a new board etc. i think this would be the best choice.

Amazing chip and a great price, while it is a shame at needing you replace your motherboard for one with the new socket.

This cpu is extremely fast and can be overclocked to 3.6 or more without any problems provided you have a good cooler. It's been laughing at anything I've thrown at it.

So far I haven't had any issues with this CPU. If you have good enough airflow in your case the stock cooler will more than enough to keep it cool even under heavy loads, unless you want to overclock the cpu.
