Product reviewsIntel Core i5-760 2.8GHz Quad-Core (BX80605I5760) Processor

*shrug* I'm an Intel fan, but I won't buy from him again.

I don't know if it was the bubble-wrap it was in, that it wasn't in an anti-static envelope, or if it was dead when he sent it, but it didn't work. I can't count how many computers I have built and/or upgraded, so I know how to take precautions with grounding myself, using static free gloves, and bread-boarding the MOBO and parts so I don't brick it or the components. *shrug* It is what it is.Read full review...

Very, very , very fast cpu, excellent choice

i was building a new pc gaming system with mid-range budget, this cpu is awesome, in compare with my old system (q6600,ddr2 800 4gb, asus maximus formula) its just another level, games are really fast now with the same video card, Lost planet 2 is playable now in 3d and with short time in loading, i really like my new system.

If you want to buy this cpu, you should go for an aftermarket cooling, like the cooler master hyper 212 plus, stock fan really sucksRead full review...

Fast CPU, but not any faster than the Core i3, and cost more too!!

I purchased this CPU for testing purposes.
It replaced an Intel Core i3 - 540 - 3.06GHz.
All in all, I really saw very little improvement in the overall performance of the PC.
I am using an MSI motherboard with OC genie and was able to overclock this CPU up to 3.25GHz before it became unstable.
The i3 was overclocked at 3.53GHz and was completely stable.
Also, both the i3 & i7 support hyperthreading which gives you a couple extra logical cores.
For the price of this CPU, I would recommend saving a few bucks and going with the i3 or spending a little extra to get the i7.Read full review...

very good possessor i currently am running my i5 760 overclocked at 4.065ghz with a tower cooler no liquid cooling with no stability issues or crashing. would like to upgrade to the i7 though... for those wondering my board is a asus P7P55D-E PRO with 8gb g-skill 1600 and 2 gtx 460 768mb in sli plus 2 sata 6 ssd's my windows experience index is 7.5 due to the possessor all others at 7.9Read full review...

Intel Core i5 760 2.8 GHz

Awesome cpu got used for a great price here, overclocked to 4GHz stable simple and quick on a Asus P7P55D-E DX MB with a minor bump in vcore, load temps at 100% cpu usage goes to 75C with a Coolermaster V8, not trying for more 'til I get a 1156 bracket for my TRUE 120Read full review...

If you can't support an i7, grab this guy.

Old chip, but definitely the best option for the socket if your motherboard doesn't support the i7.

super great value for what I paid for it less than 90$ bucks used...

Awesome processor upgraded from i3 540 to this currently OC at 3.2GHZ on stock voltage. Not near an i7 but twice the speed of my past i3 that was OC at 3.7GHZ.

Much better than a Core i3

big improvement over a Core i3, which had only 2 cores with HT, and this i5 is a true Quad Core. Turbo boost Overclocks this chip from 2.8 GHZ to 3.2 with no issues. very stable being using the Corsair H50 cooler.Read full review...

Makes a great upgrade for a core 2 chip

This makes for a perfect budget build.Replaces the older core 2 chips.This model is for those that have a graphics card.
