Reasonable cost with relatively good performance

Got this for a fair price. Installation was straight forward and arctic silver thermal paste was applied and a cooler master cooling system was installed. Operating system installation went smoothly and the system has worked perfectly from the start. Highly recommend it.Read full review

Great value used processor

Bought the i5 3470 for a HTPC build intended for video streaming and light gaming. works pretty well for cpu intensive games like GTA V, able to maintain 60+ FPS paired with a 1050 ti at 1080p/high settings. temperatures are very good in the small node 202 case with a tiny cryorig c7 heatsink. I have never seen it above 65C... So i'd say if you are looking to build a gaming pc or HTPC on the cheap look at one of these and a used h77/z77/b75 mobo to start.

I guess the bad side is it's not as powerful as a K skew processor (3570K, 3770k..etc) due to the lower stock clock speeds and the inability to overclock. But you also will have to pay quite a premium on the used market for the overclockable chips. In most cases iv'e seen on ebay you might as well look at a new 6600/7600k if your looking for something overclockable, I wouldn't advise going back to the 2500/or2600ks as the ram support and the boards themselves are stating to feel a bit dated and they just don't seem to preform as well in my experience.

easy inexpensive computer upgrade easy to install

this is a great way to upgrade an older computer inexpensively and get more life out of it, this particular one had a great intel board, it was easy to install took about 5 minutes I also put on new paste, the performance is great, well worth the time spent, I have software on this one that I use and wanted to keep using, it had an i3 processor so its a big step up to an i5 3470, and dont have to buy another computer right now.Read full review

Best 3rd Gen Processor for a reasonable price!

Easy to install. Better performance. According to my opinion Intel Core i5-3470 3.2GHz Quad-Core Processor is one of the best products to try with LGA 1155 platform. Price also reasonable.

Used but still good CPU. Good deal for your money.

Works as expected, no issues encountered.
Got 20-30% increase in video rendering speed - exactly what I was looking for.

Excellent 4 core processor for cheap gaming PC

Excellent 4 core processor. Still good in 2020 for a cheap gaming PC. Installed this into an Lg 155 motherboard into a barebones Lenovo thinkcentre. I added 16GB DDR3 RAM, a GTX 1650 and I built a fully working gaming PC (Fortnite, Apex Legends, CS Go, Overwatch, Valorant all 60FPS).Read full review

darn good deal!

I budget upgraded from i3 dual core @3.4GHz to this i5 quad core @3.2GHz.
It made a very noticeable difference.
It works great!
