Connectivity and compatibility

This processor fits into motherboards equipped with the LGA 2066 socket, commonly found in high-end desktop and workstation platforms. Its 28 PCI Express 3.0 lanes provide ample bandwidth for multiple graphics cards or high-speed storage devices, supporting complex hardware configurations. Since it lacks integrated graphics, pairing it with a dedicated GPU is essential for any visual output.

Performance and reliability

With its unlocked multiplier, this CPU allows enthusiasts to overclock and adjust settings to extract additional performance. The large shared L3 cache and quad-channel memory support contribute to efficient data handling and responsiveness under heavy workloads. Its 140-watt thermal design power requires a robust cooling solution to maintain stable operation during intensive tasks.

Ideal uses and environments

This processor is well suited to professionals and enthusiasts who require a powerful CPU for tasks such as video editing, 3D modeling, software development, and gaming setups that demand multiple GPUs. It fits well in custom-built workstations and high-performance desktops where flexibility in memory and expansion options is important. Users comfortable selecting and installing their own cooling solutions will benefit most from this unlocked processor.

Returns are accepted within 30 days of delivery. Items must be unused, in the same condition received, with tags, manuals, accessories, and original, unaltered packaging. Any item kept will be deducted from the refund. Start a return by sending us an email. Items sent back without approval may be refused or returned to the sender.

Some items are not returnable: opened TVs/combos/monitors 37″+, opened computers or software, electronic downloads, opened consumables (film, paper, bulbs, media, ink), custom or modified computers, special-order or “nonreturnable” items, submerged underwater gear, and opened educational media.

After inspection, refunds are issued to the original payment method; allow 5–7 business days for the credit to post. Shipping, handling, customs duties, and import taxes are nonrefundable. If an item is used, incomplete, or not in original condition, a 30% restocking fee may apply. Direct exchanges are not offered; purchase the replacement and return the original for a refund.

We act solely as a reseller. Any product warranty is provided and administered by the manufacturer, not by our store. That means eligibility, coverage, and outcomes are determined by the manufacturer’s policy for each brand and model. Before purchasing, we recommend reviewing the warranty terms on the manufacturer’s website or in the product documentation to confirm what is covered and for how long.

If you need warranty service, please file the claim directly with the manufacturer. They may require proof of purchase, the product serial number, original packaging, photos, or basic troubleshooting. Some brands ask you to register the product or obtain a case number before shipping it for repair or replacement. We don’t submit or approve claims, but we can point you to the correct support links and contact details.

Keep your invoice and packaging in a safe place, and report any functional issues to the manufacturer as soon as they appear. If you’re unsure whether a problem is covered, the manufacturer’s support team can confirm next steps and timelines. While we cannot intervene in decisions or outcomes, we’re happy to provide purchase documentation or guidance so you can move through the warranty process smoothly.
