I splashed out on this as I wanted a processor that would ensure a long lifetime to my PC. My friend built the PC for me and I'm really pleased, this thing blows away my old system and I've started to use it more than my Xbox. So far I've thrown things like Sins of a Solar Empire, Tropico 4 and Evochron Mercenary and haven't noticed a single slow down. In particular, Sins on my old system would shudder to a crawl when there was a lot of action going on, now it's like watching an amazing sci fi space battle. My friend found it easy to fit, I wouldn't recommend using the included fan, I used the amazing Be Quiet! Shadow Rock 4HP CPU Cooler , which I can't recommend enough. Overall a fantastic processor that gives you a lot of power for your money. Review: VERY VERY FAST CPU - I got an AMD FX-8350 (4.0GHz) at Christmas which was great at many things but at highly single threaded operations like Excel calculations it was slower than my old Intel QX6700 (2.7Ghz). I sold it on eBay and got this 2700K and it is TWICE as fast at running Excel. Plus it overclocks SO easily. I cruise it at 4.8GHz but I've had it to 5.5GHz. Then it's almost THREE times as fast in Excel as the FX-8350. And it runs cool. Very highly recommended. ## Features - AES instructions - Advanced Vector Extensions - Extended Memory 64 technology (EM64T) - Execute disable bit - HyperThreading technology ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B005X64OA8 | | Are Batteries Included | No | | Best Sellers Rank | 230,443 in Computers & Accessories ( See Top 100 in Computers & Accessories ) 891 in CPUs | | Brand | Intel | | Computer Memory Type | DDR3 SDRAM | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 4.8 out of 5 stars (20) | | Date First Available | 27 Oct. 2011 | | Guaranteed software updates until | unknown | | Item Weight | 272 g | | Item model number | BX80623I72700K | | Manufacturer | Intel | | Processor Brand | Intel | | Processor Count | 1 | | Processor Socket | LGA 1155 | | Processor Speed | 3.5 GHz | | Processor Type | Core i7 | | Product Dimensions | 10.16 x 12.7 x 12.7 cm; 272.16 g | | Wattage | 95 watts | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Intel - **CPU manufacturer:** Intel - **CPU model:** Core i7 - **CPU socket:** LGA 1155 - **CPU speed:** 3.5 GHz - **Cache size:** 8 - **Processor Number of Concurrent Threads:** 8 - **Processor count:** 1 - **Secondary cache:** 8 MB - **Wattage:** 95 watts ## Images ![Intel Core i7-2700K 3.5 GHz Quad Core Processor (Socket 1155, 8MB L3 Cache, HyperThreading Technology, Retail) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81SNhV5VolL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: can this work with a alienware alpha** A: No. Wrong socket. I have both the i7 2700k from a desktop build and an i3 Alienware alpha. **Q: Will this work on an Intel dh77eb motherboard?** A: Yes the i7 2700K is a supported CPU for your motherboard per Intel **Q: Will this work on an Acer Aspire z1620?** A: No . Your computer uses low power CPU like a laptop. **Q: When you add the "include installation" option, who actually does the installation? not best buy i hope.** A: If you buy just the CPU then you have to install it. If you buy a Motherboard too, you still have to install it... However installing a CPU is super easy if you just search for it on youtube there are so many videos on how to install it ( CPU ). It's super easy to do it yourself! If for some reason you can't or don't want to do it yourself, there are many places to have a PC built for you... Also, you can check that out as well on youtube. Look for Cary Holzman on youtube he started me building my own PC's about 12-14 years ago. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great for gaming *by M***R on 26 December 2012* Purchased this for a new build PC.

Very highly recommended. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great cpu, Bad fan mount *by P***S on 28 March 2012* Great cpu, However unless your going to overclock it you might want to get the 2600 instead,the improvement is not that great for the extra money. I did have a problem with the default heat sink/fan mount, It felt too flimsy, one of the plastic pins bent, It was a nightmare trying to get it straight again, However when I did eventually get it onto the motherboard it wasn't very good,it just didn't cool the cpu very well, so I replaced it with a cheap cool master, works like a dream now. ## Frequently Bought Together - Intel Core i7-2700K Quad-Core Processor 3.5 GHz 8 MB Cache LGA 1155 - BX80623I72700K - ARCTIC MX-4 (incl.
