Pros: Awesome chip indeed! Thanks Intel. Blazes through all the latest games with absolutely no problem, and at half the cost of the extreme. This is the best I7 for the money.

Cons: Runs hot Hot HOT. Make sure to buy an aftermarket chip cooler, as the stock one will keep up but barely. If you want to insure the life of your chip, don't use the stock one for long. Was idling at 50-60 C and under load was just over 70 C until I upgraded my cooling.

Overall Review: 5 Eggs! No question.
