Incredible processor for the money. Absolutely the best bang for buck CPU on the market right now. I laughed when this thing opened Photoshop in a couple of seconds. It eats anything in its path and blitzes through games. As a test, I opened about 20 applications (including Photoshop with it's heavy memory requirements) and switched quickly between programs in order to try and trip the CPU up. While I did this, I was playing music from a playlist of several thousand songs, painting/editing an image in PS, and most importantly, running Windows XP in a virtual machine inside Windows 7. 1GB RAM was dedicated to XP, along with 64MB of graphics memory. Would you believe it, there was no lag. Awesome.
I'm using it with a Gigabyte GA-P55 UD3R board, 2 x 2GB Patriot Viper II 'Sector 5' 1600MHz RAM, and Samsung's (latest) Spinpoint F3 hard drive (model HD501HJ). OS is Windows 7 32-bit. The whole thing runs beautifully! Just a heads up -- Windows 7 32-bit will only use 3.5GB RAM. No use buying more than 4GB in a 32-bit environment, and you need to make sure you buy RAM that will run at 1.65V or less. Do your homework before buying.
Had this thing doing 4GHz on the stock cooler with just a minor bump in voltage, mainly just to see how well it overclocks and scales with voltage increases. No complaints at all. The cooler will definitely be replaced as soon as funds permit. The stock Intel cooler is abysmal. I would not recommend anything but a minor OC using it. The cooler to buy for this CPU is the Prolimatech Megahalems, which isn't cheap, but those looking for superior performance need look no further. The Megahalems is the best choice.
Dynamic overclocking using Turbo Mode is excellent. The stock multiplier for the 750 is 20x. Using a Gigabyte P55 board, the multiplier goes as high as 24x when dynamically overclocking. Power consumption at idle during light tasks such as web surfing and playing music is fantastic. According to Everest, it uses just under 7 watts at idle. I feel this is an important point considering the current state of the economy. Any saving on electricity bills is worth thinking about unless you have money to burn. My sweet spot seems to be 148 BCLK (2.94GHz). At this speed, the CPU is able to dynamically overclock up to around 3.5Ghz and then lower the multiplier down to 9x when idle, which of course lowers the frequency, which of course means lower electricity bills.
Thanks, Intel, for making a great processor at a reasonable price. An i7 system running on X58 chipset would have cost a lot more. I wasn't prepared to pay the price because I am not a fool. I am more than happy with the i5 750, it's a very impressive CPU that should serve anybody well for a good few years.
Fast, Cool and Easy Overclock November 12, 2009

Love this I5-750. It's fast and cool. It runs under 50C under load in turbo @3.2G. Overclocked to 3.8g with stock heatsink. Convert video and play HDTV with ease.
Need to be careful with the selection of DDR3. Initially paired with A-Data 2x2G and had random blue screens. Changed to Corsair XMS3 CMX4GX3M2A1600C9 and problem solved.
Stock heatsink is on the small side, but it did get the job done.

This processor is part of a ground up gaming build that I've done and upon completion this little baby rocks. It is very fast and will quickly prove itself as something incredibly difficult to bog down. I don't think that I have been able to push this processor to its limits yet and believe me I've tried. I wouldn't waste your money or time considering a faster 1156 processor unless you have *EVERY* possible bottleneck accounted for. Believe me you won't be dissapointed.
Amazing price/performance November 28, 2009

Picked up this latest processor for a steal and it is light years faster than my last Core 2 Duo E6700.
I never see the usage meter pegged during normal use EVER! This means it's super efficient. It usually sits down near 0%. Turbo feature is awesome.
Added 02/06/10- One thing to keep in mind is that this is a quad core processor! However Intel has done a good job of keeping price low and balancing the chip's power usage and performance. It will actually under-clock the CPU if left idle saving you $$$ on your energy bill and being green. The on the other hand, you can overclock it and really get high end performance from a $200 part.
Intel i5 Processor January 1, 2010

The INTEL I5 750 2.66 GHz processor is smoking fast. I am an INTEL fan from way back, so when I decided to purchase a CPU, an INTEL processor was a natural choice. All of the reviews I read rated the I5 performance just below the I7 and above all other processors. The I5 is priced significantly less than an I7, but there is not a huge difference in performance, so unless you want to pay for the ultimate processor, an I7, I recommend purchasing an I5. I am not a gamer so my information is relative to using Microsoft Office programs, viewing photographs and listening to music. For comparison purposes, my computer system consists of an INTEL I5 750 2.66G processor, Corsair DDR3 SRAM and a Windows 7 64 bit operating system.
