Though, the temperatures aren't the BEST THING EVER, they work, including for the heatsink that comes with the CPU. With 14% load, this manages to stay at 34C, while with 99% load it manages to stay at 56C. Though, I DO want a aftermarket CPU fan which will happen sooner or later, I'll assure you that you'd probably won't NEED one unless if you're buying a 3570k and plan on OCing because the temperatures the stock heatsink manages to deliver is completely acceptable for what it is.

I do know that it isn't hard, I just always wanted to stay away from it, one day I might try Intel Turbo Boost if that makes a big difference.Īnother pro is that the stock heatsink manages to keep it safe / cool. I mainly picked the 3570 instead of the 3570k because I know I wasn't going to be overclocking.

I don't think I'll need to upgrade in a while when it comes to the more important stuff I do than play games on it, and I'm extremely happy about that. This CPU does everything intensive that I throw at it, rendering images in Cinema4D, playing audio production projects in real time without a single buffer under run, render videos with CPU intensive video formats (that don't render using the GPU), and playing CPU intensive games. I couldn't deal with it, so I decided to build a computer after I had the resources. I would struggle every day to do the typical things I usually do (produce music, edit video, and multi task) which would always clock it into 100% usage, freeze, and so on. Pros: Jumped from a Intel i3-350M (aka a Laptop) to this. So, when you're hammering this chip in prime95 and CPU-Z only shows 3.6 GHz, This particular i5, as well as the K-version, has a stepping pattern of 2/3/4/4, each step signifying the number of 100 MHz "boosts" that are available to four, three, two, and one active cores, respectively.Įrgo, our max clock speeds, with Turbo Boost fully functioning, are as follows:Ģ x 100 MHz for four active cores (3.4 GHz + 200 MHz = 3.6 GHz across ALL FOUR cores)ģ x 100 MHz for three active cores (3.4 GHz + 300 MHz = 3.7 GHz across THREE cores)Ĥ x 100 MHz for two active cores (3.4 GHz + 400 MHz = 3.8 GHz across TWO cores)Ĥ x 100 MHz for one active cores (3.4 GHz + 400 MHz = 3.8 GHz across ONE core)

However, the max Turbo Boost of 3.8 GHz only occurs when ONE or TWO cores are active/being taxed. Overall Review: Online stores usually just say "Turbo Boost 3.8 GHz" which is slightly misleading because you kind of assume by the way they phrase it that you're going to get 3.8 GHz across all cores. With the same cooler (Noctua DH14) my 965 BE would idle at 31C. Idles temps are 35C which is ambient +10C.

Pros: Yes, this chip is the non-K version, but it has two features that the K version does not have: Virtualization technology (VT-d) & Trusted Execution technology (Intel TXT).Ĭons: Not a big deal, but runs a bit warm.
