I thought my processor had failed so I bid on this one. When I received it, I put it in and no difference. Turned out my Corsair 650W had failed after 6 years. I got my system to boot with the original processor after I replaced my power supply with a working one. I then temporary replaced my processor with this purchased one and ran the Intel Processor Diagnostic Tool 64bit on the CPU. It passed all test so then I put my original processor back in, Since I do not need this replacement processor, I will relist it on ebay. Testing this processor myself made me confident in my purchase and future resale of this i7 950 3.06G.

The cpu is what I needed for a specific computer build, and worked for the purpose I needed it for. Thank you for having this product for sale.

One word: WOW. Tell me how I switch from a AMD Phenom II to this. Even a 9-year old processor like this one is well-equipped for anything I can throw at it. Triple-channel DDR3 RAM and SLI/CrossFire support on a chip this inexpensive is incredible. I needed this so bad!

This is a solid processor. I loaded it into a ASUS P6T6 Work Station Revolution mobo w/12 gigs (6X2G) of corsair DDR3, a 1000W Cooler master PSU, and 6 320G WD Blacks in RAID5. I have an outdated 200 series GPU, but not for long. It booted up and runs great. The ASUS board hasn't missed a beat. You gotta pay attention to the RAID controller, on the way in. Ctrl-M for Marvel & Ctrl-I for Intel. Anyways the core is running in a Coolermaster CM690 Advanced case with 6 X 140mm and 2 X 120mm fans. I have never had a set up this nice. I was worried about the "mid tower", but it's more like a full tower case.. I was also worried about fan noise, but you'd be amazed at how silent 6 140s run... In stock mode (3.06G to 3.33G) the CPU isn't even hitting 100F with the stock cooler, from Intel! It's sitting at 32C-36C in all 4 cores after a day of running. I am letting it all burn in for anouther 24 hours before I really run it hard. I'm impressed. I like seeing the 8 threads of 3+GHz and you toss the 6 drives in raid at it and I have the speed of an SSD with out the limited writes/reads for the same cost. I am mouting the CPU under the stairs, between my living room and my office. HDMI will run further than the 20' I need to have my TV set up as a primary or secondary monitor. Then, I'll run two or three 23" in the office for WORK and a couple games... :) a Powered USB hub w/extension and a USB DVD drive for those little occations, will keep me from having to go into the closet. Windows Media Center, on this thing, ROCKS... It's a whole new lease on life for Media Center. I'll be able to feed BlueRay and 3D movies to my TV and run the glasses, with my existing TV! All in all, the combo of a i7 950, the ASUS P6T6, Coolermaster, Corsair, and WD RAID5 is going to satisfy my needs for years to come!!! I'll GROW my raid with 2TB drives and use the 320's as backup drives for my kids towers. I have had a DUAL Core 2.6G in almost the same config.... This setup makes that look like childs play. Good luck to you! BUY the parts! Built it! For the money, I would have spent $5,000-$7,000 for a prebuilt system.. This thing practically built it self.. Plug and play.. Windows7.. Instructions written on everything for idiots... My kid could have put this together and I have less than 1600.00 into it and less than a day putting it together!Read full review
After using this processor for a week I have say that I am impressed. The processor works great and I haven't had any problems with my computer since it has been installed. I have also done some multitasking, like playing Rift, surfing the internet, and playing itunes all at the same time and this processor hasn't been above a 20% load. I've even been running animated desktop backgrounds and they run very smoothly. The only bad part about the processor was the factory heat sink and fan because it's not the best cooling for the processor, and I kind of wish I didn't have to pay for that part of the package.
