  • The most cost-effective choice for VR and high-end gaming
Size: CPU Only
Purchased for my wife's computer to replace a Pentium G-4460, which was a nice CPU, but it finally met its nemesis with Fallout4. The Pentium was maxed out and causing stutters and freezing in Fallout, so it was time for an upgrade. I considered a couple things when making the upgrade 1) Current and future gaming needs, and 2) Value. From a value standpoint, the Pentiums were the best for most games, but from a "need" standpoint, it became clear that it was not getting the job done anymore. . Speaking of meeting needs, this CPU is specifically listed as meeting the recommended specifications for VR. I expect this to be able to handle VR titles for the next 4-5 years because the cost of VR 'sets is so high that they are treating development of VR games like they are developing for a set platform (like a console). The foundation of that platform is THIS processor (or any of its 4-core equivalents). I expect that they will not increase the recommended hardware for about the typical length of time for a modern platform lifecyle (ie PS2,PS3,PS4) - a lifecycle which is currently 4-5 years. Finally, after the upgrade, The GTX 660 is now the bottleneck in my wife's system. No more stuttering and the CPU runs cool and quiet and never surpasses about 55% load in fallout4. My biggest factor in getting this CPU was that I already had the motherboard because it was an upgrade, but this is also the best value CPU in the U.S. at this price segment. It beats anything AMD has in single-threaded performance, while still retaining a price-point that competes with AMD's high-end FX-series 8-core CPU's. Generally speaking, this beats any FX-CPU in most games (and saves $$ on the power bill). Regardless of whether you are building from scratch or upgrading, this is a good buy. ... show more

  • Huge upgrade from my Athlon!
Size: CPU Only
Bought this processor as an upgrade to my Athlon X4 860K that I got for Christmas in 2015, since the Athlon was already choking in games like Overwatch (it managed to bottleneck a GeForce GTX 950, and that's not a high-end graphics card in the slightest). Alongside a new motherboard (ASRock H97M Pro4, which I have also reviewed), and a new XFX Radeon RX 470 RS XXX Edition graphics card, this processor just chews through everything I throw at it, and never complains. The one reservation I have with this, and it's minor enough that I didn't knock off a star, is the stock cooler: being a non-K processor, it'll work just fine for cooling this i5, but it's noisy under load and the pre-applied thermal paste isn't that great (you'll see a decent improvement in idle temps by applying aftermarket paste, I recommend Arctic Silver 5). That said, an aftermarket cooler isn't really necessary, since you can't overclock this processor anyway. If you're looking for the latest and greatest from Intel, I'd honestly recommend going Kaby Lake at this point mostly for the upgraded I/O and connectivity options, but if you're someone in a situation such as mine where you want a great upgrade that will still last a good while without having to spend extra on new RAM and the like, you absolutely cannot go wrong with this. ... show more

  • A great balance of power, performance and price.
Size: CPU Only
I selected the Intel Core i5-4590 for a home server build. It offers a great balance of value and performance, with all the horsepower you need for media serving and real-time video transcoding. For serious gaming, you may wish to opt for an Intel Core i7, but the i5 is a powerful CPU that's an excellent choice for a mainstream desktop PC, workstation or media server. Packaging is up to Intel's usual high standard - I've never had a damaged processor come through from Amazon. In the box, you'll also find a large heatsink which sits on top of the CPU - the four mounting pins on the heatsink take a little bit of wiggling to get all fixed in place correctly, but persevere and you'll get there! Note that this version of the Intel Core i5 cannot be over-clocked. You'll need one of the K-Series chips for that, but unless you really need that extra power, you'll find this to be an excellent choice. ... show more

  • A great CPU for what it is
Size: CPU Only
I should have spent the extra $20 or so and gotten the K version for overclocking. I see a lot of complaints about the fan noise, but I can't hear it at all with my case closed, even sitting right next to it. The little stock cooler has no trouble at all dealing with the CPU even under heavy strain.

  • It also Multitasks like a Beast
Size: CPU Only
I had been torn between this or the AMD 8350. On my previous build I had an AMD Athlon 760k Quad Core that I sold, and a second computer with a Pentium G3220 that I was upgrading from. Let me say this, THIS THING SCREAMS! I didn't know what I was missing, my computer has an SSD and a R7260X, and it boots from cold in 4-5secs! Installing programs are so fast I can no longer let one install and walk away, it's always there waiting ON ME! Skyrim (with Mods) Max! Blacklight Max! Neverwinter Max! Warface Max! Sniper Elite v3 Max! Minecraft 200-300fps Max! It also Multitasks like a Beast!, VirtBox with LMint16 (with a few webpages open and widgets), 5 YT videos, FarCry3 and SEv3, Photoshop, Adobe Audition, Record with OBS, and Render a Video with WMM = AT THE SAME TIME! If you are gaming you will not be disappointed; Rendering Videos/Serious Video Editing (while it can pretty fast) an i7 would be better if that is your main focus. But if you want a good all rounder while saving $100+ bucks, this guy is your guy! ... show more
