| Strengths: | good overclocks runs quite barely any heat at idle still doesn't get too hot at max (but get a good cooler!) |
| Weaknesses: | it's the core i7 with the mutlipliers locked... |
intel core i5 2500k
very good, does everything i needed it to no bottlenecks with good GPUs in single and sli/Xfire. put two 580's and two 6950 . overclocks like a dream .4.5Ghz is easly reached and is still very stable at that clock speed, just dont use the stock cooler... that is a crappy thing...

Overclockers fun times
I recently purchased the Intel core i5 2500k cpu as part of my new gaming setup, out the box it has a cpu cooler fan and the cpu itself. The cpu is clocked at 3.3GHz and depending on your level of cooling can be overclocked up til 5GHz, however i recomend not going over 4.5GHz...I overclocked mine to 4.2GHz. It is a truly great cpu for any use
