Processor - 1 x Intel Core i7 960 / 3.2 GHz - LGA1366 Socket - L3 8 MB - Box

WoW what a difference it made in overclocking, I had a 920 C0 and no matter what i did i could get it above 3.6, this 960 D0 stepping made a huge difference in temperature and stability..overclocked to 4.3 without a hiccup tested with prime95 and cpuz...

ZERO

I have only used Intel Processors for my builds. Always been reliable

Great processor. I bought this back May 2011 for a new build. Never had a problem with it. Coupled with an SSD - fast

None

My only "other thoughts" are about AMD..... Why would anyone buy an AMD when Intel has such sweet chips out?

Great CPU! I'm not over clocking and my temps on stock air remain at 32* c idle and has maxed at 49* C under max load. This is well within tolerance and saves me the cost of having to buy an aftermarket cooler

Price??? That's about the only Con I can think of. I mean, with LGA 2011 here one would think it would drive the cost of these CPU's down

Fast Fast Fast ; Upgraded from a core 2 quad q8400 and this thing i7 spanks it

Can not think of any :D

The i7 960 came on time and was packaged excellent.I installed it replacing my existing i7920.The 920 was just fine but the computer with an EVGA 58 motherboard was purchased in 6/2009 and wanted to have the fastest for the least cost before 1156 cpus...

No Cons a Great buy

This processor is perfect if you have to fill an LGA 1366 socket and you want some serious processing power

I've got nothing bad to report about this processor, For the price, it's a great deal

The standard 1366 i7's are probably the most underrated, and overshadowed, best chips on the market for these prices. I bought this right when Gen.2 of sandybridge came out and like a lot of you, I struggled with this decision. Yes, clock for clock SB...

Extremely fast! Hyperthreading rips through multitasking ; Incredibly stable. The stock 3.2ghz is great but this chip breaks 4ghz without skipping a beat ; Triple-Channel memory is a great bonus if you're doing heavy multimedia work ; The same socket...

Stock Cooler could be better. Not an issue unless you plan to really OC it ; Wish the multiplier was completely unlocked. Minor gripe, this will not affect the average OC'r ; Can't say anything bad about the chip itself

4 cores, intel, 3.2ghz stock, wicked fast, runs everything i do from facebook (obviously) to 3d gaming, price

none. you get what you pay for

This is a great processor, it's insanely fast, and super easy to overclock

none

Never had a problem with Intel Processors.

Worked right out of the box...Eureka

A bit bloomy in the field...JK
