About this processor
The Core i5-2500K (2011) is probably the most beloved processor among overclockers. Intel soldered the metal lid to the chip, which got rid of heat very well, and pushing it from 3.3 to 4.5 GHz or more with a good cooler was routine. Some people kept gaming on it ten years later.
