Absolutely the smartest CPU to buy for i7

Strengths: Great price; overclockability

Weakness: None

Has provided a wonderfully fast experience with the Asus P6T Deluxe at its default speeds; looking forward to overclocking (which all websites report to be very easy) right on up to 4GHz on air. There's no easy way to justify spending more on a 940 or 965XE when this one overclocks so easily.

I just built a new pc with a Asus P6T Deluxe, 6 gig corsair ram 1333, ati 4870, corsair 750 psu. lil bit expensive to build a good machine but it is totally worth it. No Regrets.

Core i7-920 Quad Core Processor (2.66GHz, 4x256kB,...

Strengths: Strong, fast, easily overclockable within reason with stock fan (1 Ghz with 5-10 temp rise)

Weakness: None

I didn't want to pay the premium for the latest i7 core, so this one is a bargain. Easily souped up to satisfy most people. Even stock speed is fast. I am not a gamer! I overclocked because I could.

very good

Strengths: very good memory bandwidth

Weakness: none

I was suprised that it has so high memory bandwidth. I put standart ddr3 1600 memory and got 28GB/sec. I was suprised! At the same time, before I had AMD cpu. The best AMD CPU (6core phenon) has only 14GB/s, but costs almost the same. Here, Intel really outperformed AMD (at the same price level!). I recommend i7-920.

Overclocking The Core i7 920 Processor

Judging just the processor alone, the Core i7 920 delivers excellent performance at a respectable price range of about $250 - $300. Even at stock speeds, it's a pretty good value, but when you throw overclocking into the mix, the 920 becomes a much more attractive option.
