Quad-core 3.40 GHz desktop processor

The Intel Core i7-2600Product is a quad-core desktop CPU built on a 32 nm process. It runs at a base clock of 3.40 GHz and provides four cores with eight threads for parallel workloads. The processor fits the LGA-1155 socket and carries a thermal design power of 95 W.

8 MB L3 cache and 95 W TDP headroom

Eight megabytes of shared L3 cache give the cores fast access to frequently used data, helping multitasking and larger working sets. The 95 W thermal design power sets the cooling target; sustained all-core loads will approach this limit, while lighter tasks run well within it.

LGA-1155 platform integration

The chip drops into a Socket H2 LGA-1155 motherboard and supports 64-bit operating systems. Integrated graphics are included, so a discrete card is optional for display output. The 32 nm process keeps power draw moderate, leaving headroom in the system power budget for other components.

Questions about this item

Will the i7-2600's LGA-1155 socket fit the motherboard I already have?

The processor uses Socket H2 LGA-1155, so it only fits boards with that exact socket. Check your motherboard manual or CPU socket label to confirm it matches LGA-1155 before installing.

How can I verify the quad-core i7-2600 is running at its 3.40 GHz clock speed after installation?

Enter the system BIOS or use a hardware monitoring tool in the OS to confirm the CPU reports 3.40 GHz base frequency and shows four cores with eight threads active.

Does the BX80623I72600 box include a cooler, or do I need to buy one separately?

The BX80623I72600 boxed processor ships with Intel's stock thermal solution attached, so no separate cooler purchase is required for standard operation.
