I love this processor , i just received it the other day installed it up in running in no time with windows 7 no problems what so ever, i was happy to find out that under load this processor will step it up to 3.2 ghz its pretty cool big step up from my old 478 p4 ..lol

Got this with the weekly NCIX i5 Bundle Deal. Great budget CPU with great performance, was everything I imagined.

The new I5 quad is definitely a homerun for those of us who are just now getting into the quadcore waters, its powerful in many ways, in some cases it can match its big brother I7 even though it doesn't have all the goodies of the I7, in short this is a lean, mean cpu for a good price.

Bought this for my new PC and it's really nice. Performance is great and temperatures are good with an aftermarket heatsink.

Put this in my new rig over the weekend. the MSI GD80 OC for n00bs button immediately took it up to 3.36ghz without battign an eye. I toned it down to 3.0. with the Noctua SE2 cooler on there. everything is running smooth and cool.

I bought this replacing an AMD Athlon x2 64 3800. Dropped it into an DP55SB Mobo and so far I am very pleased at the outcome. Surfing the net is 3-4 times faster and running Win 7 is faster than running X P with my old setup.

Easy to install. Good performance test figures.

I bought this CPU for my new gaming/main computer. Given the temperatures people were getting with the stock fan, I opted for the Coolermaster Hyper 212. I have this running at 3.2ghz (160x20) stable with idle temperatures at low 30's and load temperatures at low 40's. The performance of this chip is incredible, especially for the price. All I can say is that AMD is in trouble when it comes to their high-end line because this smokes anything they offer. My i5 750 will last me for a long time...which is a nice thought given I didn't have to break the bank for it.

This thing rips on my Asus P7p55D Pro and Corsair dominator ddr3 4 gigs. I have no regrets about going 1156 because honestly this beats the i7 920 in many benchmarks and I don't care for future 6 core processors. The only difference between this and the i7 860 is that hyperthreading is disabled, lack of triple channel memory support, and a good hundreds bucks more for very small performance gains. No regrets on the whole. Buy it if you're in the market for getting a quad core and you're on a budget, now's the perfect time.

I bought this for my new I5 build, and paired it with a gigabyte motherboard that was roughly 90 CAD on sale, everything has been working good so far.

Great processor - been running in my new system now for about a month. It's been said in other reviews and I agree, if you're on a budget - go with this processor and put a few extra $$ in graphics. Install is very easy - just line up pin 1 and drop it in and close the lid. Much easier than some of the older processors.

Works beautiful once everything is put together. Better than any Core 2s out there, only prob is how much it REALLY costs to upgrade to a quad core. Obviously need a new motherboard, plus DDR3 ram which is alot more expensive than DDR2, but aside from that, this product itself is amazing. Haven't found a program that maxes it yet :P

Great processor! With 4gb ram on windows vista 64 bit runs super pi to 1M in 14.433 seconds! Simple benchmark test and I5 passes with flying colors.

Comment:
This processor is fantastic! Its soooooo fast, even for gaming! save your money and buy this, not an i7, then use the money you're saving to get a better GPU!

Purchased for my new gaming pc, haven't bothered with overclocking yet. It runs pretty cool just with the stock cooler. I was used to an e6600 so I definitely noticed a huge difference after I put this pc together. I still find myself sitting and letting programs install before I remember "Oh, I have a nice quad core now. I can play a game while this installs." Couldn't be happier with the cpu.

Comment:
I got this for a budget gaming bild. It overclocked easy and well. for the price it is impossible to beat frankly.

Comment:
This is probably the sweet spot for processors in terms of price to performance ratio. Just plan on spending more, as usual, for a better cooler if you plan on overclocking.

Comment:
My first build, and I am pleased. This processor is worth it over a core i7 for what I am doing with it (gaming) . It operates very fast and it is very stable.

Comment:
ya i got this for 229 combo deal. it's just great. but leave alone the stock fan. i got the zalman extreme for this baby. also it runs on my mobo maximus formula III by default at 2.8 ghz instead of 2.66... the maximum OC for this is 3.8 ghz. This review was modfied by poster @ 10-09-09 11:27 AM

I purchased this with MSI GD80 MB bundle, easily oced it to 3.7ghz with after-market cpu cooler.Highly Recommended.

Comment:
Used it in a system that I had built for a relative, good price and good performance. Enough said. a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a

Comment:
So far the best processor I have ever had.

Comment:
I'm very happy with my i5 750. It is affordable to almost everyone. CPU is very fast for its price. Very easy to overclock too. Stock heat sink is awful so I replaced it with a cooler master hyper 212 plus heat sink. Windows 7 gives the processor's stock speed a rating of 7.3 out of 7.9

Comment:
Big fan of this processor, works very well, good for the price. This will be a mainstay of many budget or low-end gaming PCs in the near future.

Comment:
Would highly recommend getting this, it actually performs better then Phenom II and is in about the same price range.. so Intel is def in the lead now considering price + performance ratio.. Overclocks very well! I've seen most people getting it 4GHZ stable on air.. but I'd have to say the stock cooler included is tiny!! so you won't really be able to overclock much at all with the stock cooler..
