Review: Working great. - Working great. Might have to get a new CPU cooler. Gaming I’m getting into the 80 on one core. Any recommendations for a cooler?
Review: Newbie i7-870 owner - Wow ! Running Intel DH55HC m'board , 1156 socket, 8Gb Corsaire 1333 memory , Nvidia GE 9600 so far it's a Ferrari engine in a Nissan body ! Nice to see CPU usage ( Windows 7 Home Pre(x64) ) gadget show'g the 8 cores ( 4 + 4 Ht ).Everything JUMPIN'! Arrived from desertcart on promised date 4/1 , dropped it in, rethermaled with ArticSilver 5 using Thermaltake 4 pipe cooler, inexpensive investment , was concerned about higher heat , averaging 36 to 45 Cel. Used Sculptris ( ZBrush like modeling program ) all cores went to 100% CPU Temp hit 90C, won't do THAT again. Aside from that, Blender 3D, Corel Photo, Cyberlink DVD & PowerDirector 9 , MS Office etc everything's cool Temp's never get over 52C. Booted after installing , received 2 messages to restart ( had to reboot twice ) been good to go since. Not concerned w/ overclocking , my understanding this bad boy oc's ITSELF ! Like a McDonald's commercial "I'm Lovin' It !!!".Using a 550W power supply, 3 WesternDigital HDD's seemingly no problems. Hope this helps. "Just happy to be here !"

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I fixed the issue!
*by T***L on January 5, 2025*

There was nothing wrong with the CPU! My apologies! I guess I accidentally bent a few pins (it is an old motherboard board) and I tried everyday to fix the misaligned pins. Eventually I got it to stabilize but still no signal then I got lucky it finally booted with signal! Its working fine and very snappy compared to the 540 that was in here. Thanks guys.
