- Best Deal - Sean, 4 October 2013
This is a great CPU. The i7 only displays benefits in applications which make full use of the multiple logical cores, but in games they are very close. It's also got greater overclocking abilities than its haswell counterpart. Perfect for squeezing that extra performance out of it. Also very easy to overclock. All round great deal for the price, not to mention the value of Wootware's sale and aftermarket service (which I reckon is worth about a R 1,000,000.00.
- Speed and power - Arno, 14 May 2013
The i5 can easily compete with most of the i7 series, except the x and k series, but its brilliant performance and doesn't break you budget. Got mine to OC at 4.8
- Fast and faster - Nicholas, 6 December 2012
Well, I know for a fact since, even thought I haven't yet tested this one, but have used one, this here i5 is amazingly fast. But what is even better I received it 3 days after order along with my i7. Wootware you did an amazing job. Will be ordering from you again!
