Intel Core i5-3570K Quad-Core Processor 3.4 GHz 4 Core LGA 1155 - BX80637I53570K

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.

I recently upgraded from an AMD 955 CPU to an i5 3570k CPU, and I must say that Intel has gained another convert. This CPU will chew through any game, and I get much better performance than I ever did with the 955--the 3570k simply blows AMD out of the water. I do not do any sort of image editing or video encoding, so this review is written entirely from a gamer's perspective. PROS: -Great for extremely CPU-intensive games like the Total War games (Empire and Shogun 2 in particular). These games are fairly difficult to run smoothly at very high graphics settings due in large part to incredible (but demanding) particle effects, high unit density, shadow effects and many others, but the 3570k has no problems handling Empire at max settings (assuming you have a decent GPU to boot). -I get much higher frame-rates and better performance in games like Crysis, Crysis 2, BF3, Max Payne 3, Empire: Total War, and Deus Ex 3 as well as older games like FEAR, Half-Life 2 and Rome: Total War. -Achieves an overclock of 4.3-4.6GHz without much trouble at all (I've got mine at 4.5 GHz), at least on a Gigabyte Z77-UD3H motherboard. -Using the Gigabyte Z77-UD3H MB I managed to OC to 4.3GHz with no stability issues at stock CPU Vcore voltage (1.13 V). -Built-in Turbo boost feature clocks the 3570k up to 3.8GHz--which is a pretty decent boost and would be a good option for gamers who are uncomfortable with messing with BIOS settings to OC their CPUs. -Almost identical to the 3770K in terms of gaming performance. Benchmark scores for a number of games show marginal (if any) improvements for the 3770k. Other benchmarks and certain games like the Total War series actually see improved frame-rates with the 3570k versus the 3770k. CONS: -It does run somewhat hot--I get temps in the high 70s, low 80s (deg C) with the Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO (with Arctic Silver 5 TIM) at 4.5GHz and 1.35 Volts. However, IB CPUs are designed to withstand more heat, so this is not a huge issue, but it may warrant considering a pricier cooler if you want to OC to around 5 GHz or higher. OVERALL: The 3570k is an excellent CPU for any game on the market with a great performance-to-price ratio. Virtually all gaming performance benchmarks that you will find give near identical results for the 3570k and 3770k, so I would save yourself $100 and take the 3570K over the 3770k and put that money into a better graphics card or an SSD. If you already have a 2500k I would say that a 3570k is not worth the upgrade, but if you have anything older or are looking to switch over to Intel from AMD I would highly recommend it!

The 3570k is one FAST CPU. And it's highly overclockable. I have my 3570k at 4.5Ghz right now and with this overclock I'm normally faster than a 3770k in most benchmarks, even multithreaded ones. And I'm a whole lot faster in single threaded benchmarks. The reason I love the 3570k is because it's the most powerful CPU, per core, on the market. Meaning one of a 3570k's cores are just as powerful, if not more, than any other CPU on the market. The 3570k is even faster than a 3970x if your only using one core. So in single-threaded programs, or programs that use 4 cores or less, and a lot of programs and 99.99% of games use 4 cores or less, this CPU will perform better than ANY other. The only time a 3570k's performance is less than a 3770k or 3970x, is when you start to use 5+ cores. Like in rendering and things of that nature. But even with rendering and multithreaded applications the 3570k is no slouch. In fact, a 3770k only gives you about a 20-40% performance gain, but only while using all 8 threads. 40% may seem like a lot but that's the absolute maximum it can be. On average the performance gain is around 25%. This is exactly why I love this processor. For people like me who only game and surf the internet and use iTunes and do all the normal things people do, your processor absolutely can't get any faster than this 3570k can. That's just a fact. And for only around 200$ you can't beat the price/performance ratio. Sometimes it can be worth going with the 3770k, or 3930k, or 3970x, but for me, I wouldn't see any performance improvement with any of those. Sometimes I could actually see less, since the 3930k and 3970x are Sandy Bridge processors that aren't as powerful per core as the 3570k. My advice is to buy this CPU. You can't get any better of a CPU for all of your day to day tasks. Especially gaming, this thing is beastly. Before I got this CPU I was thinking if I should spend the extra 100$ on the 3770k and I wondered if it would be worth it. And for what I do, it's not worth one penny more. In fact, nothing I do on a daily basis would be faster on a 3770k than a 3570k. The 3770k may make sense for some people, but for most, the 3570k is THE way to go.

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.

Arrived quickly and is working well - nice
