The Ultimate CPU Overclocking Guide!
A quick unboxing and brief overview of the Intel Core i5 2500K Socket LGA 1155 Quad Core CPU. Overall this CPU is a great buy, very good performance even without overclocking as well as very low CPU temperatures. For reference this CPU @ 4.2Ghz with a Corsair H60 with 2 120MM fans stays around 40-50*C under full load. Full Details ark.intel.com

@cooki3saber even at stock speeds i wouldnt recommend using the stock cooler, it does a mediocre job at best, you can get a decent after market CPU cooler for about $35-$50
What if I won’t be overclocking when I get this. Would the stock heat-sink be ok at stock speed?
@DUHELLLO i think the only real difference is that the 2600k uses hyper threading, which means that there are 4 virtual cores added to the 4 normal cores.
but i looked up tests and there the 2500k isn´t any slower than the 2600k in computer games, so the 2600k is not worth the money as long as you want to use the computer for gaming
if you want to use it for rendering videos or something like that, a 2600k would do better
will it help when im trippin dude ….oooohhhhh heyyyy
@crismoldovanul 480gyx would of been better oh well
i just got this chip yesterday and did and unboxing video, i’ll have my mobo in 2 weeks, can’t wait
WHY NO STICKER
@AFailProduction7
I hope this isn’t meant serious
Does that mean that it is good for playing minecraft if you know can you tell me just about how much
FPS it gets thnxs
@JamesDwho ahahhah i get the gtx 460 first too and after i5
@DUHELLLO For gaming, no. The only real difference between the two is the 2600k has hyperthreading which greatly cuts video encoding/rendering times and helps with 3D related stuff.
@StaticLullaby91 well id get the GTX 460 first, the i5 2500K is still dropping in price as are the Z68 motherboards
I am going to get this and will have to get new mobo. I also need to get a nvidia 460 but I cant afford both now. Which should I get first?
thanks man!
@DUHELLLO performance wise not really, the i7 2600K does perform better than the i5 2500K but in my opinion its not worth the extra money, most games these days are bottle-necked by the video card, ud be better of spending more money on a better video card.
is there much difrens from the i5 2500k to the i7 2600k?
Wtf is the point in this vid?
@o0PrepsirE0o yes but only up to the max turbo speed (3.8Ghz), so instead of running at 3.4Ghz most of the time, you would be running at 3.8Ghz
@o0PrepsirE0o yes because the i7 2600 is limited to 3.8Ghz with Turbo Boost where the i5 2500K can be overclocked past its turbo mode frequency, if ur not planning on overclocking CPU then its not a big deal.
@HU55UN1 i personally dont think its worth the extra money but if u want 8 CPU threads and and extra 2MB of CPU cache and i7 branding, then go for it
Is it worth an extra £77 for an i7 2600k?
@JamesDwho alright thanks
@hackerboy28 yes, the i5 2500K stays very cool under full load with the H60, @ 4.5Ghz it stays around 65*C with a room temp of about 25*C and it idles around 30*C
@Darkj45 and my i5 wasnt OC’ed
@Darkj45 no this will be fine i used my i5-2500k and a hd 6850 and i ran it all high with over 40 fps perfect
