Questions about this item

Will the 125 W TDP become the first limit under sustained load?

The processor is rated at 125 W and the thermal solution is not included, so the cooler you choose will determine how long it can hold high frequencies.

How loud or hot does the chip run all day with a suitable cooler?

With a cooler matched to the 125 W rating the processor stays within its thermal envelope; actual noise and temperature depend on the cooler model and case airflow.

Which motherboard chipset must I already own for the LGA 1200 socket to work?

Only Intel 400 series chipset motherboards support this LGA 1200 processor.
