## Questions & Answers

**Q: Mine did not come with a fan, it just came with the processor in a little box...is that normal??!**
A: the fan should come included in the box

**Q: Does it come with heatsink?**
A: Yes it comes with the stock Intel heatsink/fan

**Q: can you over clock this processor**
A: Not significantly, it has a locked ratio, but if your motherboard has overclocking, you might have it increase the clock speed by a few percents (5% to 10%).  Your memory and any plug in cards must also be able to run those few percents faster.       To significanty overclock, you need a CPU with an unlocked ratio, they have a "K" sufix.  With an unlocked ratio, you might overclock the CPU over 25%, but still run the memory and motherboard components at normal speed.

**Q: Is this processor compatible with Dell Inspiron 1525?**
A: No. This is a desktop processor, so it is not compatible with a Dell Inspiron 1525. You would need to look at mobile processors.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great Gaming PC choice.Why pay more?
*by D***V on January 24, 2013*

I recently built my first gaming PC and the most difficult part of the process wasn't the actual building part but choosing the right and best parts! I wanted to keep the total build around $500 (including OS!) so many of my decisions were based on price. Of course, performance had to be good enough for a gaming PC too. Enter the Intel Pentium G860 3.0 GHz Dual-Core Processor. Sure, everyone wants an Intel i7 or even an i5 or i3, but from my research I found that the hyper threading that those processors include don't really matter much when it comes to games (and from my experience so far has proven that to be very true). The G860 is built on the same architecture as the big boys but with a considerably smaller price tag. Plenty of RAM and a good graphics card paired up with this processor make for a fantastic budget gaming PC. Don't be fooled by the "Pentium" name. As I have found out through research, this processor is completely different from the low powered, budged Pentium processors of years past. It is essential an i3 without hyper threading. And it really does scream. The PC I built runs Windows 8 incredibly well with this processor. No lag. Sucker flies!This processor came in a small Intel box and included a heat sink with fan. There was thermal past already on the fan so installation was incredibly easy. I had never built a PC before and installing the processor was probably the single easiest part of the build. My advice to anyone building a gaming PC is to get a motherboard that accommodates not only this processor but also the i7 and below, that way if you ever want to upgrade all you need to do is replace it. Easy!A quick note on the price. I got mine for around $68 bucks but I have seen it fluctuate as low as $60 but as high as $100. So keep an eye on the price before you buy since Amazon often raises and lowers prices daily. $70, give or take a few bucks, appears to be the good, stable price for this processor.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Better than I expected for a Pentium Processor.
*by L***R on June 25, 2013*

I only bought this processor because I had a limited amount of money, but when I got my desktop computer all put together, and installed, I was pretty impressed at how fast it can process things. I am only 15 years old, I am not a really heavy gamer, but I always have alot of differnt programs running, and about 10 tabs open in internet explorer, and it runs just fine, have not had any problems with it yet. I have the Intel DH77EB Media Series Mother board with 4 GB DDR3 RAM @ 1600 MHZ. a 2TB HDD, Intel Pentium Dual core processor @ 3.00 GHZ (The one I am rating) and Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit, and like I said, I have had no issues.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Works great for a budget machine!
*by N***G on January 12, 2013*

I was building a budget gaming rig and decided to go with a CPU/discrete graphics card rather than using integrated graphics. This processor is priced right to get the job done and my machine is nothing but snappy!I'm very pleased, even with the stock cooler, at how cool the chip stays. I imagine this cooler would fit in even the tightest of HTPC cases, it isn't even taller than my RAM which has heat spreaders. It is also quiet. In fact, the only fan I hear most of the time in this system is the GPU can.The only drawbacks I can think of are that it is only a dual core chip and it is not overclockable.I paired this chip with a Biostar H77MU3 motherboard and stuck an EVGA GeForce GTX 650 Ti in there for gaming. I am averaging about 50-60fps while playing Assassin's Creed III on the highest settings. (Not at 1080p, though, as I don't have a screen capable of that.)
