Summary: Meets all expectations. Using this with an Intel DH77DF, Kingston Value RAM 4GB 1600MHz PC3-12800 DDR3 Non-ECC CL11, and mini-logic 60WPS, running Win7.
Summary: I replaced the i7-2600 CPU in my home theater PC with this i3. I did it to reduce power consumption, and hopefully switch to passive cooling in my Silverstone case.
Summary: No issues whatsoever with this CPU. I picked it up because I wanted a low power server CPU for always on. This fits nicely and is working great.
