Unlocked quad-core processor for overclocking
The Intel Core i7-875K runs at 2.93 GHz with Turbo Boost up to 3.60 GHz and features 8 MB Smart Cache. Its unlocked multiplier allows enthusiasts to increase core and memory frequencies beyond stock specifications. The processor fits LGA1156 sockets and carries a 95 W TDP.
Suited to builders who want manual frequency control
This CPU targets users comfortable with voltage and multiplier tuning who also plan to pair it with robust cooling and a motherboard that exposes overclocking settings. Buyers who prefer guaranteed stock speeds without BIOS adjustments should consider a locked alternative.
LGA1156 socket requirement
The processor only installs in motherboards equipped with an LGA1156 socket. Verify that your board uses this exact socket before purchase, as other Intel desktop sockets are physically and electrically incompatible.

Questions about this item
How loud and hot does the Core i7-875K get when running at its 95 watt TDP all day?
The processor has a 95 watt TDP, so sustained loads will produce significant heat; a robust cooler and good case airflow are essential to keep noise and temperatures under control.
Which motherboard and memory must I already own to use the unlocked multiplier on this LGA1156 CPU?
You need an LGA1156 motherboard such as the Intel DP55KG, DP55SB, DP55WG or DH57DD plus DDR3 memory that supports Intel XMP profiles to take full advantage of the unlocked multiplier.
Will the i7-875K work in my older LGA1156 board that only officially supports 55 watt or 57 watt chips?
The i7-875K is rated at 95 watts, so an older board limited to 55 or 57 watt CPUs may not deliver stable power or adequate cooling for this processor.
