    I bought this CPU for my second PC build and I am very pleased. The CPU and CPU cooler come in the nice little Intel box.The CPU itself has a triangle on it for you to match up with the CPU array on the motherboard for installation. The stock CPU cooler does seem flimsy at first but it makes much more sense and is sturdy once it rotates then snaps into holes of the motherboard. This fan is really loud if noise bothers you or you want close to silence I recommend getting an aftermarket fan. Again, for a quick build or factory build its hard to beat what's designed for and already has thermal paste.At idle the temperature is usually 29-32 degrees Celsius. This CPU easily handles CS GO in highest settings up to 240 fps, League of Legends in high settings, and Fortnite on high stays at 60 FPS paired with the 1050 Ti.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Does This CPU Still Make Sense To Buy?
    Reviewed in Canada on June 23, 2017
    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 $259.99

    So 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.)
