    Terrific midrange CPU for everyday use!
    Just built a new system and I wanted to make sure I had the latest generation CPU available. Coming from a 7 yr old AMD Athlon II system, this CPU is a substantial upgrade. I have detailed the complete listing of parts used below. I use my desktop for Audio Production (multitrack recording/mixing/mastering) so quad cores are important. I researched all the latest CPUs (AMD and Intel) and for the money, the Intel kept coming out ahead in terms of benchmarking. I was holding out for AMD’s Ryzen CPUs but ultimately I decided it was time to move to the standard in processors. I read there are still a few bugs to work out on the new AMDs and I will keep an eye out in the next couple of years as to how they compare to Intel’s offerings. I don’t have allegiance either way but I just want performance without having to overclock and install pricey water cooling systems. I also do a bit of video editing/conversion and I can tell you this CPU is very fast. With the MSI board and Samsung M.2 SSD, this system boots up in 20 secs. I would be faster if I turned on the Fast Boot feature on the mobo but it’s not that big of a deal. When converting a MKV to MP4 (480i) in Handbrake (“23” setting using the “Slow” encoding speed), I went from an average of 30 fps to over 130 fps. I know it’s not fair to compare a 7 yr old AMD quad to this new one but just illustrating how much of a boost in performance you can get. I would recommend using the Cooler Master T4 instead of the stock cooler. I’m not a fan of the cheap coolers as they tend to get noisy the harder you drive the CPU. With the T4 installed and running Prime95, the CPU never got over 54 degrees C. The cooler fan never went over 900 rpm so it was very quiet. You need to make sure you have a big enough case to handle the T4 but your ears and CPU will thank you.As others have mentioned out there, you MUST have Windows 10 and a compatible motherboard with the Kaby Lake CPUs! The MSI board immediately recognized this processor right from the start. Also, the Kaby Lake processors recognize the DDR4 2400 memory natively so make sure to purchase the right speed. Get every little bit of performance you can!Cheers!Windows 10 Home 64 bitMSI Gaming Intel B250 MORTAR LGA 1151 mATX MotherboardIntel i5-7500 CPU 3.4GHzSamsung 850 EVO 250GB M.2 SATA III Internal SSDSeagate 2TB BarraCuda SATA 6Gb/s 64MB Cache 3.5-Inch(2) Ballistix Sport 8GB Single DDR4 2400ASUS Blu-Ray Writer BW-16D1HTANEWKODI USB WiFi Adapter AC600MbpsThermaltake Versa H21 Mid-tower CaseEVGA 500 W1, 80+ WHITE 500W Power SupplyCooler Master Hyper T4 CPU CoolerArctic Silver Ceramique Thermal Compound***Update 2/4/2018*** – After almost a year later, this system still rocks! Very pleased with the performance and have no regrets. For those who mess around with DAWs, I can tell you this CPU can handle a TON of plugins! I use Reaper 5 (64-bit) and using a mix of Waves, Steven Slate and other free plugins, this CPU doesn’t flinch when you have over 40 plugins running at the same time. My poor AMD Athlon II X4 would start to struggle once I hit the 40+ mark on plugins. Some of the Waves and Slate plugins do need more processing power but so far, this CPU has handled everything I’ve thrown at it. The only limitation I could see is if you run some high end samplers. I do run Superior Drummer 3 connected to my V-drums and I would say the sampler is more of a drain on my memory but it does steal some cycles on the CPU. I still wholeheartedly recommend this CPU for everyday use along with video/audio production work. Again make sure to pair it with a large heatsink like the T4. In the right case, you don’t even hear the fan running once you start hitting the CPU harder.

    AMAZINGGGG PROCESSOR. It only supports windows 10!
    THIS CPU IS FREAKING AMAZING!!!!It is the fastest thing in the world. It’s price is so worth the performance. I was installing like 12 steam games, installing 2 games on battle.net, installing spotify, and I was browsing the internet at the same time. While I was doing so the maximum CPU usage was 17 PERCENT. SEVENTEEN FREAKING PERCENT. I am extremely satisfied with this processor and I highly recommend it to anyone that is looking into upgrading their processor for their computer.However there is a very important requirement for this CPU: It only supports windows 10 because it is a 7th Gen Intel Processor.That won’t be a big problem if you have windows 7 or windows 8 because you can just upgrade your OS to windows 10 with ease.If you wanna find out how to upgrade your system from windows 7 or 8 to 10 then just search up in google “how to upgrade windows 7 to windows 10 how to geek”Howtogeek.com is super helpful on this and they have a pretty simple step-by-step guide.

    Easy to install
    I used this processor to upgrade from a 5 year-old Pentium. It took less than 10 minutes to make the swap. Works great.

    So this was pretty much almost perfect (I bought mine used)
    So like the title say I got mine used. It works extremely well I can play so many games so much smoothly. (still cant play battlefield 2042 though sadge) The only real downside is the fact that the stand came cracked. the fan one of the plastic prongs that go in the board was broken. I just cleaned off my old one and used it though. Ive had it about 1-2 weeks so far and id say its a 4.5/5.

    Great all around CPU
    Rebuilt the in-laws computer with this. Upgrading from a build made years ago using the A4-3300, 8GB DDR3 1600mhz ram and a 2.5 inch HDD I had laying around. Suffice it to say their old system was SLOW. The use it for really basic stuff, basically email and internet, but I wanted to make something snappy enough for them to last many years and that would age well.I chose to build using:-Intel i5 7500-MSI B250M PRO-VDH-Corsair Vengeance LPX 16GB (8GB x2) 3200mhz DDR4 RAM-Samsung 960 EVO 250GB SSDI reused their 430 watt Antec PSU, Rosewill mATX case, an LG sata DVD drive and a card reader.The install was quick and easy. Everything worked without a hitch from first boot to upgrading BIOS to installing Win 10 Pro and copying their data over and running updates. I doubt they will even come close to pegging this CPU but wanted to give them room to grow and figured the breathing room this would give over a dual core (even with hyper-threading) would be worth it long term.My only complaints, and not worth taking stars off for are the following:-The stock coolers mounting uses some cheap plastic push pins to mount. While it appears to do the job I cant say I am confident in how much pressure it can apply to push the cooler to the CPU surface or how well it can stay in place. For now it appears to keep the tempuratures in check but I havent pushed the CPU.-Out of the retail box the bottom of the cooler has thermal paste pre-applied but is not covered by plastic or anything so in the course of packing and shipping there are tiny fibers of what I assume is cardboard or dust all along the contact surface and on the paste. Having used high end coolers for my own builds and seeing those having covered surfaces that are polished to a shine without foreign elements on the surface this was a little unnerving. Doesnt seem to have had any negative effect afaik but for $200 itd have been nice if they could have attempted to protect the surface with $.05 of plastic.In ending I would recommend this as a decent all around processor for every day use, multimedia, office work and maybe even in a relatively budget gaming build (however for ~$30 more you can get an unlocked i5 7600k and overclock it to squeeze out more performance).

    Estava esperando para comprar um processador mais potente, mas com o COVID-19 muitos esgotaram, mas esse me serviu perfeitamente, muito rápido e com bom desempenho, os meus jogos requerem bastante processamento entre eles estão Rainbow Six, COD, Ace Combat 7 e Street Fighter.

    So in a now fair and competitive market how does a seemingly underpowered 4 Core i5 stack up? To start off I have spent over a month using this CPU and am trying to create an argument as to if this processor is still relevant in a post Ryzen-5 era. This will be the latest desktop grade processor I have purchased to date and yet it makes a compelling argument for itself when I compare it to the likes of my i7-6700k, i7-4790, Zeon E3-1230 V5, i5-6600k, and my latest and greatest Ryzen 7-1700x.So I bought this CPU for my latest mITX build, and the small form factor was of biggest importance in this build. I absolutely needed portability. And even a month later when I am writing this review my need for small form factor still would shape my decision when choosing the i5-7500 over the leading competitor, the Ryzen 5-1500x.Spec wise let’s compare the two CPU’s:-i5-7500: Clock Speed 3.4GHz, Max Turbo 3.8GHz, 4 Cores, 4 Threads, Will NOT Overclock, Stock Cooler Included, price at time of purchase on Amazon $264.99-Ryzen 5-1500x: Clock Speed 3.5GHz, Max Turbo 3.7GHz, 4 Cores, 8 Threads, WILL Overclock, Stock Cooler Included, price at time of purchase on Amazon $259.99So for the same money spent you can get an additional 4 threads and the ability to overclock if you purchase the 1500x. Not to mention at stock frequency the i5-7500 is usually at most only 2-5 FPS higher over the 1500x and that’s before it is overclocked. Once the 1500x is overclocked it takes the cake in all games over this i5. The 1500x is also far better in multi-threaded workloads so if you plan on using your computer for any kind of editing or design software (which I use) then the 1500x is a no brainer. To redeem the 7500 though it does have slightly better single core performance over the 1500x, which in gaming is what keeps it so close between this and 1500x. This i5-7500 does make sense though at a price to performance standpoint when you look at it compared to the other CPU’s I own. It is the least powerful of the bunch but for the budget it really does perform amazingly.So at this point you may be asking yourself why you’d consider the i5-7500 and how have I given it a 5-star review? This is when I will establish my argument. As I use this computer for 3D design, video editing, and software coding I was looking at system stability, I couldn’t worry about a system that would need constant bios updates or have any down time. I know Ryzen support has vastly improved since launch and I have very recently bought a 1700x that will be my main system soon (this was a no brainer as the Ryzen 7 lineup is an embarrassment to the i7-6800k and i7-6900k). But at the time of purchase there was still issues I had concerns with, and even the 1700x I bought won’t be in proper use for another 3 months roughly. But this next point is my absolute biggest argument for the i5 and i7, Skylake and Kabylake CPU’s. ITX form factor. Plain and simple, at the time of purchase there were no mITX motherboards available for the Ryzen platform and even now I can only find 2 Biostar motherboards available that don’t even compare to the features of the Asus ROG STRIX Z270i Gaming motherboard I bought and needed. And as I needed a small build, mITX was my biggest necessity for this build and essentially made my choice for me. I plan on replacing the CPU in this build with an i7-6700k I have in another build, and will move this i5 processor to a build that will be even smaller, which I will run the system with the integrated graphics. So this is what shaped my decision.This CPU also is quite a powerful little punch and I’m happy with the performance it provides. Under heavy loads it will turbo boost constantly as I am keeping it quite cool in my system. I have 16GB of Corsair Vengeance 3000MHz RAM, and a GPU I had sitting around not getting used, my EVGA GTX 960 FTW ACX 2.0 4GB. I don’t game a bunch but in Battlefront I average about 80FPS at 1080p ultra settings, in Battlefield 4 I get about 95FPS with the same settings, in GTAV I’ll get about 70FPS same settings, and finally in LOTR Shadow of Mordor I hit around 70FPS as well with the same settings. And for the money I spent on this build I’m happy with my overall system performance. Even in my heavily threaded workload applications. And despite the fact that the Ryzen 5 1500x is going to be a better option for 80% of people I think this is still a good and relevant option for many PC builders, and is a great choice for those of us who need the portability and compact size of mITX form factor.I’m keeping this CPU very cool with the Thermaltake Frio 12 Silent and in day-to-day use (consists of 10hrs plus of running time each day) my max temps never go higher than 40 degrees C. Even under synthetic tests my i5-7500 only hit a cool 55 degrees C under full load on using Aida64 (after 3hrs of stress testing the CPU). Even while turbo boosting to 3.7-3.8GHz almost throughout the entire test! So with even a small cooler you’ll get great performance out of this processor. So to wrap this up I think for many reasons this is still a valid and smart option for many people out there. I do think once the Ryzen platform comes out with more mATX and mITX motherboards from the top manufacturers Intel will have lost all its competition in the i5 vs Ryzen 5 line up. So as pleased as I am with this CPU and my build, I think it’s best to weigh the differences between the i5-7500 and 1500x and chose which makes more sense for you, and keep in mind that the 1500x is the more powerful of the two. So do your research! But to those interested in this processor I can definitely recommend it!(I also have reviews of the i5-6600k, and the i7-6700k, with system pictures. My Ryzen 7 1700x review probably won’t come for another 3 months though.)

    Ce CPU en a dans le ventre. Couplé à un SSD (Crucial MX500 M.2) et quelques 8Go de mémoire vive DDR4, on obtient pour 500€ une tour complète parfaite pour la bureautique. L’ordinateur est très réactif, les temps de chargement quasi-inexistants et un démarrage de Windows 10 aussi rapide que sur mon PC principal (i9 9900k, SSD M.2 NVMe, RTX 2080 Ti OC). Non, il n’y a pas à dire, le rapport performance/prix de ce petit CPU est excellent.Je n’ai pas installé de carte graphique et utilise donc le chipset graphique intégré (Intel Graphics 630), ce qui est amplement suffisant pour une utilisation hors jeux-vidéos. Celui-ci permet entre autres une lecture fluide d’une vidéo 4K (Bluray 2160p HDR10 UHD à 24,5 Mbps, plus DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 à 3.7Mbps), ce qui est une belle performance sans carte graphique !Il est possible de lui ajouter une carte graphique du type GTX 1080 pour transformer votre PC bureautique en PC gamer (~350€), à moins de vouloir jouer en 4k, aucun jeu ne lui résistera.Niveau température, à 30% de charge constante (CPU + Chipset graphique), le CPU monte à… 23°C, ce qui se passe de commentaire.A cela, nous pouvons ajouter la garantie 3 ans, et le fait que le ventirad et la pâte thermique sont inclus (Ce qui n’a pas été le cas pour mon i9 9900k). Je recommande chaudement !
