The checks that matter.

Before you buy

High power limits (150 W base, 253 W maximum turbo) and no cooler in the box, so budget for strong cooling. Intel advises the latest motherboard BIOS with microcode 0x12F or later and Intel Default Settings; this doesn't repair a processor that is already unstable.
