i7-2600 (1155 CPU) overclocks to 4.6 GHZ (Not locked) using Turbo V on P8P67 ASUS Motherboard
I brought this has I wanted to upgrade to USB 3.0 and socket 1155 from 1156 i5 750. Got a bargain for £95 from JTC Computers. From previous experience ASUS motherboards are the best so got a P8P67 3.0 from here too a bargain for £35. Now I knew the multiplier is sort off locked on this but I knew Turbo V would up the GHZ if used. Placed in a new Gigabyte full ATX. Installed in m/b with a fresh copy of windows 7. Opened Turbo V and sure enough five minutes later from standard 3.4 ghz to Intel turbo 3.8 and then Turbo V 4.6 Ghz. My advice is get ASUS motherboard and buy this, you do not need the (K) version. Amazing CPU, running at 4.6 Ghz, hardly been above 20% usage yet. Blows anything AMD has into space. My build: Gigabyte full ATX P8P67 3.0 1155 motherboard i7 2600 (Non K) Turbo V overclocked to 4.6 Ghz Sandisk SSD - Windows 7 installed on G-Skill 16gb RAM 2100 mhz XMP profile 500gb Seagate Momentus XT Hybrid 1 TB Western Digital green 1 TB Samsang Lite-on DVD rom 16x speed So - You will not need to upgrade for another five years, There is nothing out there that comes close for the money. Thanks

Good value for low price.
I was having crashing issues on my old processor and decided to upgrade, I was limited to what I can support due to a older motherboard but this paired with a 1050ti runs my games fine. It is not going to run aaa titles on high settings but it will run most games at moderate settings at 60 GPS providing the rest off your rig is up to spec of course.

Marvellous!
Got this with a motherboard bundle. It wasn't my first choice cpu but for the price I paid, I couldn't really argue. Was initially worried at the lack of ability to overclock but I was willing to put this to the test. Having upgraded from a Q6600, I was bound to notice the difference. Combined with a GTX 660ti this thing has handled everything I've thrown at it. Project Cars on ultra settings. Far Cry 4 on ultra settings. No issues. Switching between games and applications is instant too. I am using a Arctic Freezer Pro 7 to cool this cpu and am getting around 27oC idle and 50oC on load. Very pleased with the i7-2600!
