## Description

Intel Core i7-3770K processor 3.50 GHz Cache 8MB

Review: Solid and fast CPU - In July 2013 I built 2 identical desktop computers (one for me; one for my wife) based on the ASUS P8Z77-V Pro motherboard (MB) (8 GB RAM in each machine). The machines were constructed from entirely new components, as listed below. The components were purchased from various on-line retailers, primarily desertcart.com, Newegg.com, and BestBuy.com. Both machines have been up-and-running now for roughly 1 month without problems. I have yet to flash any BIOS's. I have run simple tests on nearly all components; virtually everything has worked "out-of-the-box". Before getting into the hardware review, I'll provide a bit of background. I am an electrical engineer, and the assembled machines were scoped to be dependable work horses -- as opposed to gaming machines. I built my first desktop machines back in the early 1990's. I have always used Intel and ASUS motherboards, due to their reputations for reliability; recently I have used ASUS exclusively. The machines currently dual-boot Windows 7 Ultimate (SP1 64-bit) and Fedora 19 (64-bit); both OS's use UEFI secure boot. I don't currently run VMware or VirtualBox, though I may later on. Currently, I am not overclocking the machines in any way, though I may do so in the future; hence I cannot comment on their suitability for such. Here are the principal hardware components for the machines: Case: Corsair 650D PSU: Corsair AX750 (Gold) MB: ASUS P8Z77-V Pro (MB rev. 1.0; AMI BIOS rev. 1805) CPU: Intel i7-3770k (3.5 GHz quad-core LGA 1155) (model BX80637I73770K) RAM: Corsair Vengeance Black [16GB (4x4GB) 240-pin DDR3 1600MHz 1.5v low profile] (CML16GX3M4A1600C9B) Hard disk: Western Digital 1TB SATA3 (WD1002FAEX) (no RAID system) GPU: ASUS GeForce GTX 660 (GTX660-DC2-2GD5) DVD burner: ASUS DRW-24B1ST (OEM) Keyboard: Saitek Eclipse II Backlit keyboard (USB) Radio mouse: Logitech V450 Nano Cordless Laser I also elected to install the following additional components: CPU cooler: Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO Dual-port NIC: Intel® PRO/1000 PT Dual Port Server Adapter (EXP19402PTBLK) USB 3.0 pass-through cable: USB 3.0 20-Pin MB header to 2 Type-A Female Connectors Y-Cable Comments: Cases: We looked at a number of different cases at brick-and-mortar stores before settling on the Corsair 650D. (I've used Antec cases in the past; the Cooler Master cases were strong contenders this time around.) The Corsair 650D cases are solid and nice-looking from a conservative perspective (not flashy); gamers would probably consider them boring. Since the P8Z77-V Pro does not offer eSATA support (and USB 3.0 has better specs than eSATA), the eSATA drive caddy on the top of the case is not useful for us. Also, I found the quick-release mechanisms for the front drive bays to be unreliable: I secured the DVD drives the old-fashion way -- with screws. However, we really do like the see-through side panel feature. Finally, the 650D was designed before the USB 3.0 motherboard header configuration was finalized, therefore the USB 3.0 cables that connect the front-panel USB 3.0 ports won't attach directly to ANY motherboard. To remedy this, I bought the adapter cable listed above; if you want one, here is the desertcart link: http://www.desertcart.com/8-inch-20-Pin-Motherboard-Connectors-Y-Cable/dp/B007PODI1W/ref=sr_1_3?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1356639600&sr=1-3&keywords=usb PSU: I believe the AX750 series has been discontinued now. I chose the older Corsair power supplies based on their reliability and the fact that they used Japanese capacitors; I couldn't determine whether the new Corsair PSUs had quality capacitors. The fan in the AX750's makes a clicking sound at very low rpm -- typically only occurs just as the machine starts up. Other than that, they are extremely quiet and solid units. Also really like the modular cable feature; fewer cables in the case. Motherboard: I spent many hours reading motherboard reviews and comparing MB feature sets before choosing the P8Z77-V Pro. I mostly looked at ASUS boards, including some in their Workstation line. (I know that there are many other quality makers of MBs available, but ASUS retains its status as one of the best, and, with just 2 choices of manufacturers, the number of offerings simply becomes mind-boggling.) Ultimately it was a combination of reasonable price and a simple yet versatile feature set (PCI slots, SATA buses, video ports, peripheral ports, etc.) that drove my choice. I've found the P8Z77-V Pro to be solid and pleasant to work with. So far no problems with bad slots or ports; the on-board video and audio work fine. Some of the P8Z77-V Pro comments I saw online complained about slow upload/download problems associated with the on-board networking (I also turned off the MB wireless LAN (Wi-Fi) feature in the BIOS, so I cannot comment on its functionality; this feature also gets many negative comments in P8Z77 blogs.) The MB AMI BIOS is well-designed and fairly user friendly. I was disappointed to see how many unnecessary 3rd-party software add-ons were included on the ASUS CD-ROM that contains the MB device drivers. (Experienced machine builders typically ignore the CD-ROM and get the latest device drivers from on-line repositories, but I tend to only flash-and-patch on an "as-needed" basis.) Anyway, after some web research, I opted to NOT install the following ASUS CD-ROM software features: Network iControl (Many on-line posts recommend disabling this.) LucidLogix Virtu MVP (As far as I can tell, this only helps gamers -- and even a fair number of them recommend NOT using it.) CPU: The Intel i7-3770k CPU represented the best price/performance trade-off available last spring. The "k" model offers better overclocking capabilities; if you are interested in running VMware or VirtualBox, you might want to go with the straight "3770" model. RAM: I opted for the Corsair memory on this go-round simply based on reputation and price. I haven't yet seen a single memory hiccup. In the past I've used Crucial. You want to buy the RAM in packages of matched modules (to avoid timing conflicts). Also, use of the "low-profile" modules avoids potential MB space conflicts when mounting a CPU cooler. Hard drive: I've used Western Digital drives exclusively for years. They are fast, quiet, and I'VE NEVER HAD ONE CRASH even though I frequently have 2 or 3 drives in my machines. (I cannot say that about other HD lines.) (Note: I religiously replace my HDs at the point that their warranties expire; the 2 desktop machines I am currently replacing have been in service for over 9 years, and each one has had the primary drive replaced twice.) I saw some on-line reviews that stated that the WD1002FAEX model is noisy. The reviewers must have gotten bad units: the two that I just installed are whisper quiet. And the WD1002FAEX comes with a 5-yr warranty. GPU: We may not play games at home, but we often watch uTube and DVD videos. I chose the ASUS GeForce GTX 660 based primarily on reviews. (I went the nVIDIA route, as opposed to AMD graphics, because of nVIDIA's strong reputation for UNIX/Linux OS support. ATI's support was abysmal, and AMD seems to be following suit.) The card runs cool and quiet, and it even came with a cable adapter for my old 21" CRT monitor. We get gorgeous, even-color images at 1600x1200 and higher resolutions. DVD burner: No issues so far with the DVD drives, though we haven't tried burning anything yet. The burner software provided (on CDROM) with the drive isn't worth much; we're going to try Ashampoo (free) this time around. Keyboard: I bought my first Saitek Eclipse II at least 7 years ago for doing work with my laptop while reclining on the couch at home. We now have 3 of them. The keyboard gets decent reviews on-line; some reviews complain about the paint wearing off the keys. The keys on my original one show no signs of wear. I'll admit that only the violet backlighting color works well when typing in the dark; perhaps that's why gamers give it mixed reviews. For us, the keyboard offers good heft, nice tactile response, and longevity. Mouse: Like the Saitek keyboard, I bought my first V450 Nano mouse for use with my laptop. Soon after, I replaced the corded mouse on my old desktop machine with a second one. We now have 3 of these in the house. Recommendation: The mouse runs on a pair of AA batteries: get a decent battery charger and some rechargeable AAs. CPU cooler: Although we currently live in a city where outside temperatures rarely surpass 80 degrees (F), it was only a few years ago that we lived in an area where temperatures regularly exceeded 100 F in July and August. Also, the Intel i7 LGA 1155 CPU series reportedly has poor heat dissipation characteristics. Hence I opted to forego the heat sink that came with the Intel CPU and instead deploy the Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO cooling system in our new machines. The Hyper 212 EVO is one of the cheaper (but still well regarded) cooling solutions on the market; it should suffice as long as we don't seriously over-clock the systems. (I also opted to use Arctic Silver 5 Thermal Compound rather than the thermal compound that Cooler Master provided with the Hyper 212 EVO. The Artic Silver 5 compound is among the most effective products of its type; many of the expensive commercial compounds available perform worse than mayonnaise. See link below.) [...]
Review: Best Intel Gen 3 processor made. - I know this is an old core. It is the fastest I7 that my dad’s computer could use. It originally had an I3 so this zipped it up quite a bit. He only surfs and watches YouTube so it’s just fine for what he uses it for. Decent price as older top end cores for this gen are really expensive, but didn’t want to do a new rebuild for his uses. I paired it with a Noctua low profile cpu cooler and it’s been fine for 2+ years and runs cool. Great quality and quick shipping.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: can this processor be installed on my laptop hp elitebook6930p win/7 64bit  intel r 2duo-cpu  p8600 2.40ghz**
A: Hi Edgardo.  The i7 3770K is a desktop processor that uses the LGA 1155 socket.  As such, it will not fit in your laptop, but you could look for a hotter processor that will fit the socket P that is in your laptop.  My research says the fastest processor you could be is the Core2Duo Mobile P9700.

**Q: overclocking cooler i7**
A: First and foremost, please use full sentences when asking questions. It helps people understand exactly what you are trying to figure out.Now for what I believe is your question. The best air cooler for overclocking is the CoolerMaster Hyper 212 Plus. It will keep the CPU temperature at about 42 Degrees when overclocking between 4.2-4.5Ghz, but you will need to measure the internal width of the computer case from the motherboard to the opposite side of the case. Here, you need at least 159mm(6.26inches) of space for it to fit. The best liquid cooler is the Corsair H100 Extreme Performance. I have the Hyper 212 Plus in my case because it fit, cost 1/3 the price and keeps it at about the same temp as the H100. As I said earlier, the internal dimensions of the case will determine what you can actually implement. If you're still unsure, try googling reviews for both. This should also bring up reviews and some comparisons for you to look at. Overclocking.net is a great resource full of helpful people and info.

**Q: does this count as a graphics processor? i have a mobo with integrated graphics and i want to know whether or not it will work with this**
A: I assume your asking if it's compaitable with your motherboard. I suggest using pcpartpicker.con, it will tell you if it's incompaitable when you add it to your list.

**Q: what is the suggested**
A: The suggested retail price was $332 at launch.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent (with Light Reservations)
*by Q***. on May 9, 2012*

The i7-3770k is a fantastic processor! Out of the box (with no overclocking), I got a Windows Experience Index rating of 7.7 (on a 1.0 to 7.9 scale). The CPU installation is quite easy and the 'k' at the end of 3770k means the processor is unlocked for easier overclocking. The HD 4000 graphics are also great! I got a Windows Experience Index of 6.5 in both graphics categories without the need for a discrete GPU (if you don't need serious graphics performance, this processor could save you money on a graphics card!). This chip laughs at anything I give it. It can transcode a 1 hour 45 minute HD video in just a few minutes without using most of the full force of the processor (my particular trial lasted about 11 minutes and utilized just under 20% of the CPU power including my internet browser). I do have a few light reservations, however. First, the price is going up (at least on amazon) and will eventually drop off a bit. The recommended retail price (given by Intel) is around 320-330 (similar to what the i7-2700k goes for). Second, the Intel Core i5 3570K Processor 3.4 4 BX80637I53570K shares a lot of the great features of the i7-3770k for a lot less money (100 dollars or more cheaper). You lose 2MB of L3 cache, 100 MHz in clock speed and turbo speed, and the hyper-threading technology when you move down to the i5-3570k. But you keep the HD 4000 graphics and the unlocked processor for overclocking (the i5-3570k might even be slightly better for overclocking purposes which could make up for its 100 MHz decrease, and even some of the hyper-threading). In general, if you have software which can fully utilize 8 threads, this processor is probably worth the extra cost. Third, the ivy bridge lineup does run a bit hotter than sandy bridge, but this is completely expected from a smaller architecture. This shouldn't be much of a problem (very good overclocking with air is still easily possible and extreme cooling allows for some incredible results) but upgrading from an overclocked sandy bridge might not make much sense - unless the HD 4000 graphics are worth it for you. Overall, this is one of the greatest processors available today (definitely the best performer on its socket type). Any processor which beats this one costs at least several hundred dollars more and doesn't gain nearly that much in extra performance. So, if you can handle the somewhat higher price than the i5-3570k, get this beast of a CPU!
