INTEL CORE I5-3570K 3.4 GHZ (OC TO 4.5 GHZ) & GIGABYTE IN SOUTH AFRICA

You are bidding on a second hand CPU & Mobo combo, excellent condition except the point made in red below, never taken CPU over 75 degrees C (max load when OC to 4.5 Ghz on water cooling stress test). This combo has been in my gaming machine for a 2 or so years being used daily, reliable no crashes or hints of hardware issues at all, it was mostly at 4 Ghz but I did run it for a bit at 4.5 Ghz before dropping back to 4 Ghz due to personal preference of not liking to exceed 70C under load. Plays every game including latest AAA games without bottle-necking, 99% of games will not need overclocking, the only game I had to OC to play on Ultra without slight bottle-necking was Battlefield 1, do your own research. Reason for selling, upgraded to 7700k.   What you are getting: Intel i5 3570K CPU in excellent condition with temps having never exceeded 75 deg briefly during overclocking stress tests. Gigabyte GA-Z77-D3H Motherboard in excellent condition except the second PCI-E slot is missing so you can use only one GPU. NO RAM OR CPU COOLER INCLUDED. I RECOMMEND A DECENT AFTER-MARKET AIR COOLER AT LEAST IF YOU INTEND TO OVERCLOCK, WATER COOLING REQUIRED FOR OVERCLOCKING TO 4.5 GHZ OR MORE IF YOU DARE. DON'T TRY TO OC TO 4.5 GHZ WITH A CHEAP COOLER.   CPU Specs that matter: Intel i5-3570k. Ivy Bridge 22nm Processor. 4 Cores - 4 Threads. 3.4 Ghz Base Frequency (without overclocking). 3.8 Ghz Max Turbo Frequency (without overclocking). Cache 6MB SmartCache. Bus Speed 5 GT/s DMI. TDP 77W. Socket 1155.   CPU is more or less comparable (certainly will surpass when OC) to current gen Core i5-7500 if not i5-7600: http://cpu.userbenchmark.com/Compare/Intel-Core-i5-7500-vs-Intel-Core-i5-3570K/3648vs1316   Full CPU Specs: https://ark.intel.com/products/65520/Intel-Core-i5-3570K-Processor-6M-Cache-up-to-3_80-GHz   Motherboard Specs: Intel Z77 Express Chipset.
