motherboards‘s review Edit Like Unlike

Overclockers and Tweakers wanting to get the most out of their new CPUs will appreciate the fact that these two CPUs will have more options to overclock due to their unlocked cores. The Core i7-875K has an overclock of 4.5GHz which is a 1.57GHz overclock over the 2.93GHz default clock speeds.

While neither the Core i7-875K or the i5-655K break any new records in our table they both do very well. You will notice that the Core i7-875K is a HUGE jump over the Core i7-870 thanks to the much lower price of the K-series part over the current i7-870 in the channel.

The air-cooling headroom of the chip appears to be rather limited, compromised no doubt by the 875K becoming too hot when under load. Intel's Core i7 875K and Core i5 655K are semi-interesting chips that may tickle the fancy of a few enthusiasts.

If you’re looking at Intel’s product stack, these new chips (particularly the Core i7-875K) are just what the doctor ordered. I mean, I wouldn’t have ever suggested that a 2.93 GHz Core i7-870 was a good buy at $562 when the 2.8 GHz Core i7-920 was selling for $294. But a Core i7-875K at $342 is at least a little more attractive if you’re using that $562 price point as a reference.

Still, we do know that the i7 875K is capable of getting much farther than the average 1156 Core i7. Our previous experience with the i7 870 only allowed us to reach 4.2GHz before the system would not even post. Now, on the same air cooling we are hitting 4.5GHz for CPU-Z shots and stable performance at 4.1GHz. This is a good indication that you will get what you put into these CPUs (in terms of cooling).

Despite having two less cores, the i7-875K is faster than the X6 1090T in nearly every application, even highly multi-threaded ones thanks to Hyper-Threading. It is about $50 more expensive than the flagship Phenom II X6, but that is worthwhile premium when you consider the large performance advantage that the i7-875K has in lightly-threaded workloads.

With an unlocked multiplier and the best speed so far on the LGA 1156 socket, this CPU is enticing for upgraders, even if it can't best AMD's cheaper six-core Phenom II X6 1090T.

If you want a high-performance CPU that costs more than £200, and you're not scared of overclocking, the i7-930 is the best CPU. As a bonus, you can spend the money you save on the CPU on an LGA1366 motherboard and 6GB of memory.

Given that the 875K is much cheaper than the 870, the new K series offering is still a no-brainer. But it's still disappointing to find the unlocked multiplier doesn't translate into at least a little more oomph.
