I managed to Overclock mine to 5015.9MHz @1.224V. It plays game like a boss and is great for multitasking and productivity alike.

"Exceptional!!!"

Amazing CPU. To take full advantage you will need to delid though. 5ghz over all 6 cores is easily obtainable.

Good quality product, this processor is the right choose for high end PC if you don't want to spend a fortune.
