Astonishingly FAST. Easy to Install.,
I was planning on ordering an i3-2100 dual core, but for a $60 price difference, I chose this QUAD CORE processor instead.
The processor fits the 1155 socket on any Sandy Bridge motherboard, and includes Intel HD2000/3000 graphics so you can avoid buying a separate graphics card. This full retail package includes a basic fan heatsink cooler which simply clips over the processor, keeping temperatures between 38 degrees and about 55 degrees in my two fan PC. The heatsink includes thermal coupling already applied, so all you need to do is click the heatsink into the motherboard and plug in the fan.
It has way exceeded expectations in performance. I’m seeing 8300 on GeekBench, putting this machine in the same league as previous generation i7 processors.
It is possible to slightly overclock this processor from 3.1 GHz to about 3.8 GHz, but if you want to do this, you will probably want the i5-2500K variant, which is fully unlocked and usable up to 5+ GHz with appropriate cooling.
I’m extremely happy with this purchase.

|A miracle in a box. Amazing processor!,
I bought this processor that came bundled with with the Intel DH67BL motherboard for about $320 and I couldn’t be happier. Intel has certainly out done themselves with this piece of work. The processor is noticeably faster than the previous generation of the Intel Core i5 family line. This processor has the GPU integrated into the processor itself, and with the motherboard I’m using, it is capable of supporting it’s own graphics demands; however I don’t use the feature. I’m using the Intel stock fan that came with the processor and the processor temperature stays within its safe operating range.
Key notes:
-noticeably faster than previous generation
-temperature stays within range (using the Intel stock fan)
-integrated GPU in processor
-various Intel technologies allow the processor to efficiently and effectively process data.

|No issues,
Used this processor in a new HTPC build. It may have been a little overkill, but I wanted something I could depend on for my main HTPC (the one recording shows and used most frequently). The build as a whole has surpassed my expectations. The processor gives the PC plenty of juice, and, in conjunction with the MSI H67MA-E45 mobo, allow me to utilize the on board graphics without issue. The components I used were most certainly on the expensive side for a limited HTPC application, but I wanted to ensure a high degree of dependability. I have never had any issues with an intel CPU, so I decided a couple extra bucks was worth the peace of mind. Here is the build:
Mobo – MSI H67MA-E45
CPU: Intel i5-2400
PSU – OCZ ModXStream Pro 500W Modular High-Performance PSU
RAM – Corsair Memory 8 Dual Channel Kit DDR3 1600
HD – Western Digital Caviar Black 2 TB SATA III 7200 RP
Case – Antec Fusion Remote Black Micro ATX Media Center / HTPC Case
Tuner – Ceton InfiniTV 4 Digital Cable Quad-tuner Card PCIe
Makes for a beast of an HTPC.
