    Upgrade PC -SB and socket questions

    Bro, Honestly my biggest problem was the stock fan that came with the i5 2500k as the wires were to tight around the blades and actually keeping them from moving... After many suggestions that I tried from the bros on the board, we figured it out... This board gives some solid advice as...

    Intel Core i7 990x

    Direct from Ebay... Turbo charged I5 2500k's... lol

    If you read more into it, they are claiming they have tested all chips so the chip will not be in factory sealed box... They have added turbo extreme and GT-R to the CPU in the pictures and claim that they can get 5 to 5.1 ghz out of the same CPU you are buying... The shipping is economy class...
