E Processeur puissant, répondant à nos attentes et facile d'emploi. Déjà "dépassé" par les nouvelles générations, il n'en a pas moins leurs performances. Il a encore de nombreuses années à servir dans le top des processeurs. Intel Ivy Bridge est un équipement (bien que cher) à s'offrir sans retenue. Bob fi-fille. Read more

Después de 8 meses con él (y seguimos), he decidido escribir mi valoración del producto por si ésta puede ayudar. En primer lugar, es un procesador de 6 núcleos (3,4 GHz y 3,9 GHz con TurboBoost) realmente potente (incluso comparándolo con generaciones posteriores) y repercute en su precio (actualmente es superior al que tenía cuando lo adquirí). Por tanto, hay que estar muy seguros de que necesitáis toda esa potencia ya que AMD con los procesadores de 8 núcleos es un serio rival ofreciendo un costo bastante más bajo, aunque personalmente prefiero Intel. También cabe decir que es el más pequeño de la gama extrema y que no lo veréis reflejado en la caja. (OJO! El mío vino sin disipador, por lo que si dudáis es conveniente hacerse con uno). En segundo lugar, la temperatura es muy buena en comparación con otras generaciones. Yo lo tengo instalado sobre una ASUS Rampage IV Black Edition y un Thermalright Silver Arrow SB-E Extreme juntamente con la combinación de los 5 ventiladores de mi caja NZXT Phantom y haciendo un uso ofimático e incluso jugando a juegos que no necesitan una gran barbaridad de CPU se mantiene en 21-26ºC. Si le pedimos más potencia, alcanza los 40ºC. En tercer lugar, al ser un modelo K, se puede overclockear, siempre y cuando tengáis una placa base que lo permita y una fuente de alimentación que no os consuma al 100%. Yo lo he llegado a poner a 5 GHz, rozando temperaturas de 60-65º C, nada mal para ser refrigeración por aire aunque, como ya sabréis, hay que ir con cuidado de no pasarnos y quemarlo. Intel, a través de su página online, ofrece la posibilidad de pagar una cuota anual en concepto de extensión de garantía que os cubre el overclock. En definitiva, a día de hoy, hay procesadores más baratos que ofrecen prestaciones similares, aunque algunos han experimentado problemas en cuanto a temperaturas se refiere. Su precio es elevado, al igual que toda la serie de socket 2011 y el resto de componentes. Si queréis montar memoria principal (RAM) DDR4 en vuestro equipo, este procesador no os servirá. Yo estoy muy contento con él y pienso que aunque su precio sea elevado, tendréis procesador para una buena temporada. Recomiendo totalmente su compra. Read more

We have a requirement for some decent processing horsepower, in contrast to the succession of low price laptops we've used over the past 10 years. Servers in this performance class appear to start at about $6,000, so we decided to build our system from scratch with case, power supply, mother board, memory, graphics card, keyboard, mouse, and this cpu. It installed easily and works great. Because of the detents and markings, there was little chance of installing it improperly. On choosing which CPU family to purchase: The 3000 series (eg 3930, 3960, etc) are the older Sandy Bridge technology, while the 4000 series (eg 4930, 4960, etc) are the next generation Ivy Bridge technology. I haven't seen reviews suggesting there is a big difference in performance among them. On which CPU among the families to purchase: We wanted top performance, so we chose Hex cores (6 processors) over Quad cores (4 processors). The price seemed to scale fairly linearly with number of cores, so you get what you pay for. The primary difference between the Hexa-core 4930 (3.4 GHz) and the Extreme 4960 (3.6 GHz) appears to be clock speed, which is less than 6% (probably not humanely noticeable), while the price difference is 2x ($500 vs $1000). You decide, 200% price for < 6% performance? We chose not. On coolers: We were surprised by one thing. In contrast to other Intel performance chips, this chip ships without a fan, but if you run it (even at low clock rates) without one, it runs hot enough to burn your hand. After just a few minutes, we became worried and shut it down. We immediately ordered a cooler from Amazon and waited a few more days before we could finish the build. After reading many reviews, we ordered the Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO which is working fine. In retrospect, though, we wish we had ordered the Cooler Master 212 EVO Plus (this newer variant hadn't been reviewed). As near as we can tell, the Plus is the same exact cooler kit with an additional fan attached. It delivers extra cooling and is still compact enough to not interfere with adjacent memory and PCI cards, and if (for whatever reason) you just want the 212 EVO, you can easily unclip one of the fans and you've just saved yourself $12.11. The 212 EVO is $38.99 on Amazon prime, while the 212 EVo Plus is $26.88. If you really want to overclock this CPU, you'll probably want a circulated water cooler. Again we compared clock rates you might achieve (4 GHz with our cooler, 4.6 GHz with a decent water cooler) and decided it wasn't worthwhile to spend 400% the cost for 15% performance improvement. On cost vs performance trade-offs in a power build: To put these decisions in perspective, the cost of all the components for this performance machine was about $4,000.00. We traded some cost for marginal top-end performance. The highest performance CPU would have cost maybe $600 more for 6% performance improvement (eg 15% cost growth for 6% performance growth). This was probably a good trade. The best performing cooler would have cost maybe $80 more for 15% performance improvement (eg 2% cost growth for 15% performance growth). One could question the wisdom of this trade, and we may re-think it. Since we've already bought the fan-based cooler, our upgrade cost is $120 not the $80 difference between air and water, so we would bear a 3% cost growth for that 15% performance growth.

Hope this was helpful. Whichever build choices you make, I know you'll enjoy your PC for a long time to come, and I hope you have as much satisfaction as we have had throughout the extended planning, building, installing, and operating process.

Excellent product I have no problem running any heavy program with it, I am running it on my new ASUS X79 which is also great. and also bought through Amazon :) Read more

La caja venia un poco maltratada, pero es por el tiempo que estuvo almacenada. Pero el procesador funciona al 100.. Read more
