Intel 3rd Generation Core i5-3570K CPU (4 x 3.40GHz, Ivy Bridge, Socket 1155, 6Mb L3 Cache, Intel Turbo Boost Technology 2.0)

Arrived quickly and is working well - nice

Bought this to replace my current quad core Intel Q4400. Installed processor and heat sink easily and I can see a marked improvement in performance. Price to performance was the main reason I bought this i5 rather than an i7. Highly recommended.

this is a really good processor, the only thing was the price £160 in september 2014

I didn't like the price for a 3rd gen card but boy was it worth it. I've overclocked to 4.2 with no probs and I'm now fully utilising my 16gb of ram. Its given my ASrock pro 3 board a good few years more life use at a reasonable cost. It feel like i've got a new machine, especially when multi tasking while editing photos on lightroom

A massive upgrade from my i3 in gaming terms. My loading screens were hanging around for a long time, and when playing online games it gave me an unfair advantage. With the i5 they are so much quicker. probably loads a game in about 20 seconds. This working along side my Samsung SSD, my computer really does fly now.

Arrived on time , works fine and deffinetly got more grunt than my old i5

This is just amazing. Used it in my PC build recently and going from an AMD Athlon x4 605e to this was just great. This with an SSD, Raptor hard drive and 16 gig of ram really makes for a swift machine.

It works for me

今回、アマゾンで以下のPCパーツを購入し初自作しました！ M/B ASUS P8Z77-V pro CPU core i5-3570k RAM ADATA XPGseries 型番 AX3U1600GC4G9-2G 4Gの2枚セット品ｘ2 (16GB) GPU ELSA Geforce GTX660 S.A.C を2枚（Tiではありません^^;) PSU オウルテック SeaSonic SS-1050XM (1050W電源） OS Windows7 Home 64bit(以前から所有していた物） HDD WesternDigital Blue 3.5inch 7200rpm 500GB 32MBキャッシュ SATA3.0 WD5000AZLX(OS用) 構成はこんな感じです！ 3年ほど前にBTOパソコンを注文し、いろいろPCゲームをやっていくうちにパワー不足を感じ思い切って自作で 満足ができて、まったくストレスを感じず予算を抑えたPC構成考えました。 以前のPCはcore2duoのE7500とちょっと古いCPUを使っていましたが今回3570ｋに変えて、ネットもエンコードも 以前とは比べ物にならないほど早くなりました！ 正直もうちょっと予算があれば、GTX670のSLI構成にしたかったのですが予算の関係上GTX670を1本かランクを落として 男なら誰でも夢見る、SLIにしようか悩んだ挙句GTX660の性能レビューを参考にこいつのSLI構成にしました。 現在プレイ中のゲームはBF3・Skyrim・英語版Crysis3など主にやっています この構成にした感想は、正直言うとぬるぬるですｗ CPUに関してはまず間違いなくこのCPUで問題なくゲームプレイできるので大変気に入っています！ これから自作される方などでゲーミングPCを作る方にはおすすめできるCPUだと思います。 通販サイトのBTOパソコンだとi7-3770か3770Kとちょっと高いCPUが主なラインナップでしたが 正直3570ｋもしくは3570でも十分だと思います。 その分グラボやSSDなどの方に予算まわせると思いますのでコスパが非常によいCPUだと感じる一方で 3770Kでハイパースレッティングが気になる私でしたｗ あとは、よく言われるIvy特有の熱問題ですがCPUクーラーはENERMAX製 ETD-T60-VDのトップフロータイプのクーラー使用してますが よく冷えてる方だと思います。（他のクーラーはわかりませんが^^;) アイドル時で37℃、高負荷時で61℃くらいです（CPUはOCして4.2GHz駆動です） OCしててこの温度なら低い方ではないかと思いますが他の方はどうなのでしょうか？ 正直わかりませんｗ こんな感じで今のところ問題なくゲーミングライフを満喫中です(o^―^o)

Tengo que reconocer que todo ha sido muy rápido y eficaz. Desde la petición del pedido, el envoltorio, el envío.

Tengo questo processore da più di 2 anni, e non mi ha mai deluso. Riesco a giocare qualsiasi gioco per PC

Considering the price, shipping time, and performance, I'd say this was a very great purcahse. This CPU is esentially the one to buy for gamers right now. In terms of gaming performance, it is pretty much at the top of the line, right along with the i7-3770k. It is also multiplier unlocked, meaning that overclocking with a good cooler is relatively easy. Just make sure you have a motherboard that supports changes to the multiplier! If you don't plan on overclocking, the i5-3770 is just as good, and it's cheaper. People who are looking for a CPU solution that will focus more on video encoding or tasks that require a lot of processor power might be better off with a different choice. I do not know too much about that, but looking at benchmarks of other CPUs running whatever programs you are planning to run is a good idea. However as far as general use goes I am confident that this processor will hold up with most top of the line CPUs. And as far as gaming is concerned, people who want top of the line performance will be getting just that at the best available price. AMD's FX-8350 is a viable alternative for just $189.99, however based on reviews and benchmarks, the CPU tends to run hot as well as draw lots of power, and loses a lot of ground when it comes to CPU intensive games. In more GPU intensive games it tends to keep up, losing only 1-3 FPS. Overall, the i5-3570k is the winner, however it might be smart to save $120 bucks if the FX-8350 runs the games and programs that you are planning on running well enough. However the i5-3570k will almost certainly last longer and perform better across the board. Anyways, this is a great CPU and I recommend it to any gamer looking for a CPU upgrade. It runs cool, does not draw too much power, and delivers top of the line gaming performance at the best available price.

Replaced the trusty, but aged E8400 Wolfdale with this and am extremely happy. The 8400 never missed a lick, and probably logged a million hours of gaming. So far, I have nothing to suggest any lesser performance from this newer workhorse. Runs everything - and I mean EVERYTHING we throw at it, runs it well, and runs it smoothly at stock settings. Finally went with water cooling, and while the old system ran fine, it did run hot - a couple of times SO hot it started artifact-ing and 'sparkling' under stress until we blew out all the cooler fins and plugged it back in for another year. This chip runs 24/7, games for a good percentage of that time, and has NEVER exceeded 42c. (Normal idle is mid 30s) Not a stutter, hiccup or bump since it was installed, powered up and booted the first time. Should the need arise, according my motherboard, it will OC like a big dog (preset on my MB will crank it up to 4.8), LUCID has reduced GPU temps as a bonus, and I'm a happy camper ... oh wait - I hate campers, but you get my drift. It runs Photoshop and Premiere like it's strolling a beach, encodes x264 in several iterations in a tiny fraction of the time I'm used to, and mutlitasks MUCH better than I do. Thought about going to the dark side (AMD), but held fast and very happy I did. Thought about the 3770, but my research indicated there would be no improvement in gaming, so the extra $ could not be justified. I'm all about best bang for the buck, and fully believe THIS to be it if you're even a part-time gamer. If all you do is render video, the move up might make sense, but for me, it did not. I can't think of any way I could be more pleased with the performance (obviously unless it were free), and I'd buy it again without a thought.
