Lubuntu/Kubuntu 14.04.02 LTS did not work for me (though I see 14.04.03 is now out I never tried it). If you are running Linux and using the integrate GPU, you should plan on running recent versions of Linux (or be prepared to build your own kernels or use Arch or something). It is a recent release, so I guess that might change over time. But I did need to pay $10 more for this processor than Intel's recommended price. Overall Review: No fault of the processor itself, and I still like Newegg as a vendor. You will need something better if you are really pushing it. *Included cpu fan/cooler is probably only adequate (again, I achieved an easy automated 15% overclock if the Asus software is to be believe). *"Only" four cores (I do some video conversion and do use VMs, so more cores could be useful at times) *Unlikely able to overclock to a really serious degree (not a K version) But to my surprise, the combination of this processor, my motherboard, and memory (Asus Z170-A 2 x 8GB sticks Crucial DDR4 2133 memory) the easy overclocking settings were able to achieve a very stable 15% overclock.Ĭons: I know what I was (and was not) buying, so while these might be considered cons I knew I was not willing to pay for them in this build. I have no real need to overclock, so I did not count on that. This processor meets this desire at a reasonable price point. Pros: Given my computing needs for this build, I wanted a reasonably fast, modern quad-core processor (some applications I use are fairly single-threaded some are multi-threaded and I run at least one VM along with these programs).
