This is an awesome 3rd generation processor with LGA2011 socket that is available at the price lower than K series which are meant to overclock however you can easily overclock this and use along with corsair liquid coolers like H100 or Air coolers from Noctua. Even in Summer season idle temperature vary between 30 and 35 compared to weather in India. Most people are not aware of the fact that i7 processors like this doesn't come with stock fan and heat sink...I mean common how could you expe...

I bought this frm flipkart n d packing was pretty good. N d performance of this CPU is really awesome can't ignore. Must buy. The over clocking performance is excellent AMD is untrustworthy but Intel rocks...I works good with my system mentioned below..
1-Seagate 2TB HDD
2-CORSAIR VENEGANCE 8 GB RAM
3- CORSAIR 600 W CMPSU GS600 W
4-GIGABYTE MOTHERBOARD
But beware before buying coz this one supports with LGA2011 socket mother board and these socket motherboard are quite expensive....

Performs flawlessly - Perfect Match for my 64GB SYSTEM.
I am using CM SEIDON Liquid Cooler which does decent job to keep it cool.

I got this in Flipkart, and i7 3820 is verry good nd awesome performance without problems.

if you are an expert in hardware .this is one of the best cpu compared to 1155 and 1150 cpu it is farter than 3770k and 4770k both cpu have only 8 megs of cache and this one have 10 .if you need pure performance pcie-e lanes it gives you compard to plx chips for other cpu as .it can overclock too its multiplier is only locked you can change in base clock and 46 max multiplier pure 4.7 ghz bease if you know intel tick tok .next processors are coming 4820k ,4930k,4960x and 4970x this the the b...

The cheapest LGA 2011 socket type processor. When compared to i7-3960X, i7-3930K which are 71 and 38k respectively this monster beats the hell out of them. It's clock speed is more than both of them. Supports up to 64 GB ram. Strictly for gamers and 3d users. If you are heading for performance then just go for it, it rocks.

This is the best and Cheap Processor compared to others...
It has intel smart ratings 96/100

Cons: it's doesn't have 3D support and Graphics

The expensive i7 3820 Processor was purchased but it did not contain the processor fan which is very essential for the processor. Telephonic complaint did not yield any result despite all snap shots of the packet was sent. On the whole the purpose of buying was defeated.

Combined with ASUS Nvedia GTX 680 it becomes ultimate. i recommend 12-16GB ram. COD MW3 and Skyrim work on highest graphics and extremely smooth. If u want a i7 go for 3820.. else don't buy i7!

its really awesome performance .....best than AMD and evryone should go for it for the best performance....i bought through flipkart n its really good no problem . people who go for 3d should buy this at resonable price...
