Pros Typical Intel performance- excellent
Cons Heat, heatsink installation and quality, did I mention it runs hot?
Recommended it? Yes

There is already an excellent review on the performance capabilities of this processor, so I will give my best subjective opinion on this processor and you can check out the other review for the technical information. I'm going to talk about the heatsink first, as it is part of the retail package,... Read full review »
