    Quad core with the new Ivy bridge puts this in the top 100 fastest processors currently on the market with a price that doesn’t break the bank. Runs a bit on the hots side, so it’s worth investing in a quality cooler.

    Bought this to use on an Intel DH77DF. The included heat sink fits nicely on the motherboard but I removed the thermal goop before installing it. Instead, I opted to put Artic Silver 5. Working great so far. This is being used on a Windows Home Server 2011 and because of it low TDP, i think it will work quite nicely especially during the hot summer.

    This is one of the new “ivybridge” intel cpus that feature on die graphics. This particular unit contains the scaled back HD2500 series GPU but is more than enough to play casual games and few year old FPS games without issues. The temps on mine dont go over about 110F with ambient temps in the mid 70’s using a hyper212+ from coolermaster. In the event you want to overclock this guy, make sure you invest in a decent cooler. The heatsink included is slightly thinner than the width of my thumb and I have average to small hands, really it is not up to the task if you decide to push it. If you are running stock, you should have absolutely no issues at all.
