## Description

Intel Core i7-3770 processor 3.40 GHz Cache 8MB

Review: This CPU can handle the job at a cost effective price. - The I7-3770 is an optimal purchase for a cost-effective build that provides good performance and options for the foreseeable future. This CPU is fast, stable and when paired with a quality motherboard and 16gb of DDr-1600 RAM it multi-tasks and blows through applications as well as one can expect. You always can "do better" but only if you move up a series and/or go with twin CPUs and likewise and pay double. Use any money you save with this processor to buy yourself a step-up in motherboard, video card, memory, HDD/SSD, etc. :Points to Ponder: (A)If you like/want/need to overclock the INTEL "K" series processor are designed for that. That said, Intel may deny a return on any failed "K" series processor due to the possibility of end user foul-up. (B)Unless you are a the "Sheldon Cooper" type, the minor difference in native speed between the I7-3770 and I7-3770K is not noticeable for common tasks such as word processing, spreadsheets, databases, speech recognition, video playback and 3D games. With my system, video / audio / photo editing and production are optimal and I have yet to get a lockup when multitasking between as many as a dozen apps. (C)If 70% of your use and need is purely to "game" then go with any of the Intel I5 series. This I7 CPU is excellent for games but why spend the extra if you do not have the constant need for it? The CPU does count but gamers get the most bang for their bucks via a higher end video cards. (Heat issue fears with the IVY series) Overheating has only been a reported problem for those who overclock the "K" series and/or build and operate their systems poorly. Get a well vented case, good fans and CPU cooler, keep things clean of dust and hair and for God's sake don't operate in a 100+degree environment and you should be okay. (My build) I7-3770 CPU Corsair Hydro H60 CPU cooler (*Fan setup | interior-> (120mm push)->[HYDRO RADIATOR]->(120mm pull)-> exhaust from case) ASUS P8Z77-V Motherboard (*BIOS downloaded from ASUS and updated during 2nd test boot to fully support IVY bridge processor.) 16GB G.SKILL Model F3-12800CL9D-8GBXL DDR-3 1600 RAM (*2 sets) SAMSUNG 830 series SSD as Primary Boot & Apps drive (*Firmware updated) Western Digital Black 1TB SATA III HDD XFX RADON HD 6870 1GB GPU video card (*using Microsoft Drivers) Rosewill HIVE 650 PSU.

Review: I am satisfied. Price was greatly reduced too but performance was ... - I initially only wanted an entry level Intel Core i7 for our upgraded desktop since I found out that the technician, who custom-built our PC somewhat cheated us as to parts for a price of $1300 in early spring of 2011. This after I looked at the specs when I started noticing that our PC started hanging and rebooting for no reason while in use. So late last year I came up with a plan to upgrade it; after all, I was building my son's gaming PC so it would make no sense to me to build his with the latest specs while I watch my own custom PC wither away just because I trusted an a__hole to get it done for me. At that point last year I was no longer a computer "dinosaur'. I invested enough time reading gaming PC websites and had become confident that with proper timing, without compromising the latest specs as being outdated by the time I was done with my son's PC, to be able to make out my own version of custom gaming PC. This was how I stumbled in this product. Remember, I initially said that I only wanted an entry level Intel Core i7 processor in place of the lowly Intel Core i3 2100 that my cheating tech installed. Regardless of the replacement issues, I finally got to test it with the rest of the upgraded specs, using a 2011 motherboard which was forward compatible with what I have managed to scrap. Bam!!! Worked right away. I only need to flash the mobo so it would recognize this CPU. I have not even delved into the overclocking issues. Conclusion: this is not an entry level CPU. It is a lot more than that. It is capable of performing hyperthreading events and since I am an amateur DSLR photographer when we(my family) are on a road trip and do a lot of photo editing and recovery, it can do multitasking too without the hassle compared to the inferior Intel Core i3 2100s which deserves to go to a museum instead of an electronics store!!! 3 weeks into, I am satisfied. Price was greatly reduced too but performance was never comrpomised. Here are my final specs with this CPU at the core: 1. Motherboard--GA P67A D3 B3 rev 1.0; 2. CPU--Intel Core i7 3770 3.4 GHz; 3. CPU heatsink--Coolermaster Hyper 212 EVO; 4. Memory(Dual Channel)--16 GB Crucial(8x2) DDR3 1333mHz and Kingston 8GB(4x2) DDR3 1333mHz, total of 24GB; 5. Graphics card: EVGA GTX GeForce 960 SSC 2GB; Power Supply--Antec HCG 750w 80 Plus Bronze with 135 mm fan with white LEDs(fully modular) 6.Drives--1 SSD Crucial M500 120 GB as boot drive and 2TB(1x2) WD 7200 RPM as storage drives and 7.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Can i put this thing in a lenovo g51? my friend has a lenovo g50 and he has the same thing as me but his computer came with this beast.**
A: No you cant. This is a desktop cpu not a laptop

**Q: Which is better, this or the 3820? I don't plan to overclock and debating which to get.**
A: LGA2011 is better ONLY if:- you need 64GB RAM- you need triple/quad-SLI/CF- you run extremely memory-bandwidth intensive programs- you run massively threaded programs that can leverage a hex-core/12-thread CPUFor 99% of people, LGA2011 is overkill and completely useless since mainstream applications and games have no use for the extra cores, memory or memory bandwidth.

**Q: is this z77?**
A: The processor itself isn't z77. z77 is a chipset. I guessing you're asking if z77 is compatible with this processor. The answer is yes. Here is a list of all chipsets compatible with Socket LGA 1155 processors: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LGA_1155The Z77 chipset is the most popular (and featured-packed) of the chipset for LGA 1155 for the simple reason it allow the users to "to spend countless hours" overclocking their CPU, GPU, and RAM. Then reporting their results back to the internet. Another noticeable features is that it allows dual graphics card support, and essentially every combination of PCI 3.0 support: 1x16, 2x18 or the interesting 1x8 + 2x4. This was probably the most important feature for me as I can buy a decent priced GPU today and in a year or so when the price has dropped I can buy another one and pair them up in SLI.If overclocking the CPU or RAM doesn't interested you and you feel one GPU is plenty then you should be able to easily move down to the cheaper H77 or Q77 motherboards. The only difference between those too is that Q77 has legacy PCI support.

**Q: Can this be installed on the mother board of Dell Inspiron One 2330**
A: I really don't believe so . Most of there motherboards are limited to i3/i5 second and third series CPU . You should ask on dell forum . http://en.community.dell.com/support-forums/desktop/

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Blown away by the speed, incredible multitasking
*by N***. on November 4, 2012*

I opted for this CPU since I use lots of virtual machines for my day-to-day programming tasks, so having hyper-threaded virtual cores is somewhat worthwhile. Since this is the non-K version I can't overclock but I do get extra features like VT-x that most users probably won't need, but help with virtualization. With 16GB of RAM, I can easily run multiple guest operating systems on top of Windows 8 and the whole system still just flies. Even with folding@home running simultaneously using all 8 cores, I still have great multitasking performance. The guest operating systems feel as though they were installed to the bare metal computer. I've read lots of complaints about the stock cooler but I think most of those are unfounded. At idle, the fan is barely audible. My idle temperatures are around 35-45*C. The fan does spin up at higher loads, but it's still not noisy. Running folding@home it gets up to about 80*C, which while hot is well within Intel's thermal specification. Plenty of GPUs routinely have higher load temperatures than this. Using the IntelBurnTest, I get up to about 90-95*C which while very toasty is still below the maximum allowable temperature, and still stable. In practice, few or no applications will generate as much heat as this test. So unless you're overclocking, which is disabled on this particular chip anyway, you're probably fine with the stock cooler. Overall, highly recommended. I can't believe how much faster this machine feels than my old C2D E8400 machine with 4GB of RAM, which was already quick to begin with.
