IntelXeon Quad-Core Processor E3-1230 v2 3.3GHz 8MB LGA 1155 CPU LGA BX80637E31230V2

good.

The E3-1230 v3 really is an i7 3770 for about 2/3rds of the price. Not only is it cheaper, it also doesn't have the HD4000 iGPU in it which is a waste of power consumption for most users who are probably using a discrete GPU anyway. I actually used to have a 3770k and a Z77 board. I then sold it and started using an old Q6600 PC I then got an R9 290 GPU for it and found that the CPU was a huge bottleneck. Since I already had an H77 board in an HTPC that had a Celeron G1610 in it, I figured I'd upgrade it and use the Q6600 as the HTPC. So, after accumulating $230 worth of Amazon gift cards thanks to swagbucks, I bought one of these. At first, I was planning on the i5 3570 or 3470 which were $230 and $210. I actually didn't know about the E3-12xx series until a few months ago. When I realized that the i7 3770 equivalent E3 CPU was about the same price as the i5, my mind was made up. After installing it, I immediately played Watch Dogs. It is a massive improvement over the Q6600. Before, I couldn't even run WD in medium detail without lots of lag. Now, everything is maxed out and it is running very smooth. All the other AAA games are the same. If you are going to use a discrete GPU and don't plan to overclock your CPU then the E3-12xx series is a great buy. I am using a Hyper 212 Evo cooler on it and it never passes 60c under load and stays right around 30c or less at idle (room temp is 77F). If I didn't use swagbucks, I would have paid around $300 for the CPU and motherboard. My 3770k and Sabertooth Z77 cost me around $570 for just those two parts and I am getting almost identical performance from the cheaper E3-1230 v2 + H77.

最近自作を始めた者です。[Corei5 2500K]からの乗り換えについて色々書かせてもらいます。CPUの交換自体は難しくありませんでした。スプレッダに書かれた型番以外の違いはありません。リテールクーラーを使った場合のコア温度はアイドル時で35度(室温28度)、フル稼働時には70度近くまで上がりますが、4コア8スレッドなので使い切る事はないでしょう。性能に関しては文句はないです。Corei5でも十分といえば十分ですが、動画編集やゲームでもキビキビ動いてくれます。価格では[i5 3570K]よりも1500円ほどの差しかなく、それで4コア8スレッドを使えるのは非常にお得です。もし[Corei7 3770]が欲しいけどお金は抑えたい…という人には丁度良いと思います。ただ、いくつか欠点を挙げるなら・オーバークロックは出来ない・内蔵GPUが無い(他にも[i7 3770]より安価で内蔵GPU有りの[Xeon E3 1245v2]もあります)・マザーボードが対応していない事がある　(多くのマザーボードメーカーはアップデートで対応していますが、まだ対応してないのもあります)という点があります。ですが安価で省電力という魅力は大きいです。私個人としてはいい買い物になったと思います。

run cool and stable on asus z68 vpro.

A: spent to much on an outdated mode, blame myself, but it was also over priced.B: heat sink compound was old and would not spread, I now will have to wait several days for moreC: Always research before purchase
