Amazon ships at the right time September 4, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
The processor has good speed and handles good workload, yet i'm not sure about the heat generation i didn't use the ordinary fan came with it and i bought other special fan and that fan keeps it at 40c, amazon ships at the right time and the handling of shipment is good.
Intel E8400 duo processor September 1, 2008
This processor is everything people say it is and then some. It is super fast. Whether you are using it for gaming or multimedia or both, I am sure it will handle all of your needs. Well worth the price.
Quad cores have nothing on this. August 26, 2008
Yes I'm aware that this is a dual core but I've done my research and this Wolfdale core kicks the snot out of similiar priced quad cores. Runs cool and efficient, as far as performance to cost ratio, buy this CPU.
Who needs quad core? August 16, 2008
I was undecided between the e8400 and the Q6600 until after doing some research, I learned that almost no programs take advantage of a quad core right now, and are unlikely to in the near future. With the rate processor technology changes these days, getting a quad core now doesn't make a lot of sense. By the time quad cores are the norm, there will be something way better than what's on the market now. Dual core is sufficient for 99.9 of all programs on the market!
I was able to overclock this processor to 3.8ghz using a Zalman CPU cooler at 48C idle and 56C under load. I have a Asus p5k-e motherboard, which overclocks really, really well.
Pros:
Tremendous speed for the price
Extreme overclocking potential
Intel reliability
Cons:
Pretty poor stock cooler. Get yourself an aftermarket cooler if you plan to do any overclocking.
Cool fast, and cheaper than the E8500 August 4, 2008
At room temperature, w/ stock fan, idles at 29C. The 45nm process really is nuts. Try to get at least 1066MHz FSB on your motherboard to get more out of this chip, and ram to match. I've heard of people get this chip up to 4.0GHz without water-cooling, which is nuts.
And you can overclock to make this the same as an E8500, but not spend the extra $50 or so. Excellent price/performance ratio. XP boots in 20 seconds.
