USED PROCESSOR, NOT ORIGINAL!!! DON'T FALL FOR PICTURES.
You might feel picture looks fine , but why rating is 1 star? I have the answer, Product packing is really good. The person who crafted it is a talented guy. Applause for his work, but the SELLER & AMAZON are cheating customer's by providing a second hand products. Ideally after seeing the image I expected to get original INTEL BOXED PROCESSOR, but it is completely a fraud one. They have just used the image and sent me a second hand processor. Which is extremely used. They are just making money and are not concerned about customers. Please do not buy it it's completely a used product. The FAN that they provide is a very cheap one!!! Don't use it for your desktop.

A worthy upgrade for a PC using an older Sandy Bridge Pentium
I just upgraded from a Sandy Bridge Pentium G840 to this Ivy Bridge i3-3240. It's a nice CPU for the money. Considering I changed the CPU and GPU at the same time I was expecting to have to re-activate a lot of software and the OS. So far, nothing has complained.The mainboard is an Asus P8H61-M LE/USB3 with BIOS version 4601. The swap was reasonably painless although I had to reset CMOS as I anticipated. Make sure to jot down any specific settings you use in BIOS for devices other than the RAM and CPU if you do this.I changed the Kingston HyperX RAM timing to 1600 from 1333 which the board defaults to in support of Intel H61 specifications. No issues though, all is working fine at the higher speeds the RAM is meant for. It was limited to the lower speed by the old processor.

Impressed with Improved Performance
I am no PC expert so cannot offer a technical review of this CPU.From a user perspective I can say that this CPU was bought to replace a dual core model running at 2.8Ghz and the difference in performance is considerable when compared to this. I have always tended to purchase AMD because as a Linux user there have traditionally been fewer compatibility issues with AMD. However I have to say that the Core i3 chip has changed my opinion as it is 100% compatible with the two Linux distributions I use.I can thoroughly recommend this CPU.
