Works just fine for me. I'm in the US and have it over-clocked too. No problems.

Region has nothing to do with CPUs and won't affect in anything regarding where the CPU is offered/made. The CPU architecture is x86_64 (which is desktop/server/laptop PCs design) and socket 1155 (this number is all you need to look for in your motherboard's manual to check if this will fit or not).

Looking at the page, it looks like they have separate inventory that is specifically meant for China - the likely difference being the documentation that comes with the hardware due to regulations imposed by the Chinese government. Anyway, I think it's very safe to say that if you order this CPU in the US, and or have it shipped to the US, you will get an appropriate version.Also note that the designations for the CPU are exactly the same for both "versions" except one has "china" after it. Further, I have this CPU, live in the US, and my system has had no region issues (I am guessing you are concerned about "region locking", similar to what they do for DVD's).

The answer is both yes and no. The actual clock speed of the processor is 2.4 but with a max turbo frequency of 3.4. It is Intel's "Turbo Boost" technology. This link will give you the rundown on the actual chip in this machine http://ark.intel.com/products/75117 . I hope this was helpful Its actually a pretty decent chip-set, i have no complaints and would recommend this machine.

Mark probably knows better than me but I would have sworn the I7-3770 (if that's the one you're looking at) is a 3rd gen processor. But, I've been wrong before.

On your i7 what speed is it and same on i5. They made some very slow cpu's. You might have a i5. That's faster than i7. Never know.

its dual core http://ark.intel.com/products/72164/Intel-Core-i5-3230M-Processor-3M-Cache-up-to-3_20-GHz-rPGAkeep an eye on I5 vs I3, it seems Lenovo didnt change the model when they upgraded the CPU.you may think you are getting a deal but you may be comparing I5 vs I3

I don't know. The best I could tell you to do is going to Intel site and have it scan you computer for best compatible processor.

Yes, very much so. The K at the end of the product number is Intel's way of signaling this. I run mine at 4.6GHZ for hours on end. Very easy to overclock. I did find and odd thing with the "enhanced speed step" used on this chip with my X79 Mobo and ASUS X79 Deluxe. Enhanced speed step came "enabled". I was getting really poor performance with parallel processing using all four cores at max demand. This was strange, it was slower then my old laptop. I then switched off enhanced speed step and it flew like crazy. It left my laptop in the dust. I now keep enhanced speed step set to "auto" or "off". Many people say speed step does not matter - enhanced speed step on this setup does make a huge difference, if you don't mind paying for the electric to run it.

I do not know the model you indicated, but I have several different models of Intel Core i3 and I have never noticed significant differences in performances. I have only noticed performance differences among i3 processors from different generetions (for example between first and forth generations). Really important (and useful) differences in performance are only detected betwen i3 and i5 or i3 and i7.

It works in any 1155 Socket, anyway on the manufacturer's site you can see this processor in the CPU Support List of your motherboard. Telling the truth that's my same motherboard model Here you can see it: http://www.asrock.com/mb/Intel/H61M-VG3/?cat=CPU

Hi Mirna:The best place to find processor compatibility is on the Intel website.Enter the motherboard model : DH87RL in the search. Go to the link for:Intel® Desktop Board DH87RL. You will see a link for Compatible processors in the "More Information" box.Follow this link to look up compatible I3 processorsThis will show you without a doubt which I3 to order.Hope this helps as I always verify processors and memory modules are compatible with the Intel motherboard.Enjoy the weekend!Jack

All Intel Core 2 and later Core architecture processors support the 64 bit instruction set. This includes the Core i3, i5 and i7. See http://ark.intel.com/products/72056/Intel-Core-i5-3230M-Processor-3M-Cache-up-to-3_20-GHz-BGA?wapkw=core+i5+3230m

It's this http://ark.intel.com/products/77987/Intel-Atom-Processor-C2750-4M-Cache-2_40-GHz currently. It's part of this motherboard http://www.asrockrack.com/general/productdetail.asp?Model=C2750D4I

The answer is yes, check Intel's site for all the data you need.http://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/processors/core/core-i7-processor.html

The motherboard does NOT come with a CPU. If you go to the Gigabyte Website for this model, there is a link to a list of Intel CPU's that are supported. For me I used the I7-3550 3GHz Quad Core. Hope this helps.

I bought the 3.4 ghz chip. Installed and when system boots I get an error that the current chip isn't compatible. If I continue the PC runs and faster. Think the problem is that the chip 3.4 ghz is dual CPU. E520 bios doesn't support a dual CPU chip. Just my thoughts.

I noticed that too when I ordered this PC last month, but figured if it was not the i7-3770S 3.1GHz that was described on the main product description page that I would leverage Amazon's great return policy. The PC I received was as advertised with the I-7. It is an outstanding PC - and my staff member is VERY pleased with the design and performance!

This is AMD only since that is the socket it carries - Intel sockets are too much different so they need their own type of MotherBoard. AMD and Intel are to totally different processor developers, been around for many years now. So, if you see things like AM3, AM3, AM2 mentioned in what you are looking at, it's not for Intel processors.
