intel Core i7-3770 Quad-Core Processor 3.4 GHz 4 Core LGA 1155 - BX80637I73770 (Renewed)

This CPU worked great from the start. Slight glitch in the installation being I was replacing an AMD board with a Gigabyte express board, so I got a "bios is corrupt and needed to install from a backup. It figured it out on its own, and continued with the install. Lot's of updates as the computer hadn't run in a couple of years, and I am running with just 4GB of ram, but I'm happy to have my old programs back and it was a cheap fix. Hope this helps.

My H61Z motherboard had a 2nd gen CPU (i5-2400) and I wanted to give it a little more “spark”. This did the trick for just a couple of bucks. I was a bit skeptical of a renewed CPU, but no problem. Boot time substantially reduced. Wish I had put a stopwatch on the old CPU to give data….------------------ UPDATE -------------------------------------Had occasion to upgrade a Lenovo 3227 (M92p) from an i3-3220 to i7-3770 and used one of these refurb'ed CPU's for the task. Worked fine. Nice price.

Replaced my i5 3570 with this i7 it gained and overall 30% in raw performance its snappier and overall smoother the hyperthreading is definitely noticeable keep it turned on so you're not just using 4 threads overall this product has served me well so far no issues if anything can I put a 6 star review because this exceeding my expectations and for just 50 dollars at the time I bought it 4 cores and 8 threads really ain't bad

First, this chip is a $65 “refurbished” unit and does not come in a box and does not include heat sink paste which I purchased separately. Since I have an older MB, I was stuck with a gen 3 chip. It was a worthwhile upgrade from my i5 and did improve my frame rates but make no mistake, this is no where near the power of even 12th gen i3, but for me it was worth it as I did not want to upgrade my MB, PS etc. YMMV

The CPU was a "pre-owned" unit. The small plastic holder, the same as the one found in the original packaging, had opened during transit and as a result, the CPU had been bouncing around inside the packaging. Thankfully, this CPU does not have pins to bend on the bottom and was able to be installed. It ran fine. My only complaint is the packaging, which is why 4 stars not 5. A little Scotch tape around the plastic holder would have been all it took to keep it closed and better protected.

Un producto que cumple lo que promete, desde su compra hasta ahora no eh tenido problemas con el uso de la cpu la cual funciona excelente

Bricked my PC. Put old CPU back in and still won't so much as post.
