Was able to overclock this identical processor over 1 GHz. Fast. Extremely easy to set up. Gives your rig a great boost in CPU horsepower. Very reliable. Absolutely no issues - 24+ hour burn-in period after overclocking. Still using the same processor for over a year, after upgrading from a 920. Incredible jump in performance. At one point, this processor was selling (NIB, sealed) for ~$1200. To get it in NEW condition for less than 400 is a steal. Especially if you don't want to build a new rig from scratch (PS, MB, CPU, RAM, SSD, etc.)! Highly recommended.

Great processor . Blazing fast runs cool. Comes with a huge heat sink and fan which runs between 42 degrees C to 52 Degrees C in my system. The i7 975 Performs as advertised. Excellent product for any serious gamer. Speed is teriffic, runs at 3.33 GHz. No need to over clock this baby. I am very please that I selected this i7 processor for the heart of my new system. Running on an Asus Rampage II extreme mother board with 2 EVGA GTX 295 CO-OP graphic cards in SLI mode with 12 GB of Corsair Dominator memory (6x2)in a Corsair Obsidian 800 D case. Powered by a Corsair Hx 850 modular PSU. System is a screamer. The i7 975 Processor handle the system well with no problems.
