Intel Core 2 Duo E8400 3.0GHz LGA 775 65W Dual-Core Processor

It runs really cool which means no loud fans to listen. Really cool and rather, runs at 32 F for me, not more than-clocked. Intel created the finest CPU ever, and we will only see far better from Intel. I switched from using AMD chips to Intel, and I am not going back. I could not be additional happy with this chip. It delivers every thing I need to construct the best Pc program for me. None.

RapidlyLow VoltageLots of Cache none Utilised this to upgrade my stock emachines from a celeron dual core to a core 2 duo. Excellent efficiency with no increase in voltage and heat.

I've had this processor in one of my computers for over a year now and it's nevertheless just as quick as when I bought it. Incredibly steady processor, it was a wonderful buy. None.

The greatest CPU I have ever owned - Properly it has been running steady @ four.265ghz every day given that that time on a ASUS P5N32 E SLI mobo 黨i chipset). I feel, the max I place this at is someplace about 4.4ghz rock strong with gaming, but genuinely no require to do this all on Zalman CNPS9500 cooler - with 8gb ram adn two Samsung 1TB Raid - along with two MSI GTX260's overclocked - the CPU core temps at Idle are 30c and 33c - gaming around 45c both cores Marketing is all hype - I do admit that the i7 processor is excellent - But, intel saved hyperthreading for these ixxx series CPU's - they simply forcasted the future... To terrible they left out the yorkfield and wolfdale processors out of the loop - But, they planned it that way - People I am an old college more than-clocking guy and will get just about every last ounce out of my rig prior to moving to a new platform - Pondering about final upgrade of Q9450 or Q9550 but not certain - The E8400 has 6mb cache and simply rocks the home - This so far has been the most future proof platform I have owned - I hope this helps some old college 680i owners -

Had this because it initially came out and under no circumstances looked back. NONE AT ALL!

Owned for 2 years, I have this overclocked to over four.6 Ghz ( multiplier at 9 x 520 mhz core clock--voltages changed on every little thing clearly) easy breezy, runs no hotter than 40 C ( cpuiz utility confirms)( see fan arrangement under) when gaming for hours. Gigabyte EP45-UD3P mobo permits several voltage adjustments ( very important ). idles at 28 C. aftermarket heatsink ( nothing at all unique...older kingwin 4u design and style) ddr2 g skill 1066 ram makes it possible for a lot of headroom for overclocking. with a few windows vista hacks this issue is up and running windows in about 30 seconds from the time it posts. Runs any game very easily. I love this chip. Ive noticed this chip verified overclocked at 4.9 Ghz. I wont go there yet, but I feel like I could. 65w is a big deal in my opinion....runs good and cool. Affordable, quick, reputable and lots of headroom.....what much more can I say. For the dollars its a beast. New egg rocks if you like to make. none... for the cost you are acquiring reliability...Intel Rigcpu--E8400 wolfdale OC'dRam--G-skill ddr2 1066 ..8gig ( overclocked )Gpu--XFX gtx 9800 ( overclocked )case--Xclio full atx....2ea 250mm fans pushing 1 side a single front, with one 120 exhaust in rear.......neon on all.Mobo--EP45-UD3P---HD--seagate --sata--7200rpm, 750gboptical drive...who cares!heatsink---kingwinn 4u style

This point is excellent! I adore it. I've had it for three years now....all whilst operating at three.6GHz on air! I couldn't have selected a much better dual-core CPU. Buy it! None

Comment:
Great value and great functionality. None Easily overclocks to three.8Ghz with no any fuss at all on an ASUS P5K-E (an older board) and doesn't make a ton of further heat. Could in all probability do 4Ghz but I don't want to push it. Runs around 40C-45C maxed out on water. Completely stunned at the good quality of this hardware!

Comment:
I bought SLI GTX 480 and I believed a quad would aid I must of just saved my money and stayed with my more rapidly E8400, it is the greatest you don't want something more for gaming. none the price tag good now

I used this chip in a GIGABYTE GA-EP45-UD3R LGA 775 Intel P45 for 17 months and then moved the exact same chip over to a ASUS P5QL/EPU LGA 775 Intel P43 exactly where it has been for the last 7 months.After ㅐ months of various-hours-day-to-day use (including a period exactly where it was running Truly hot as a result of a loose heat sink), it is still humming cheerfully along. none I'll be sticking with Intel for my subsequent upgrade cycle. This chip has shown me speed, stability, and longevity.

Comment:
If you're still working with LGA 775 this is certainly a good CPU to go for. I have OC'd this point to 3.6Ghz at stock voltage. You could go a lot greater if you wanted (my RAM stops me). With the Zalman 9700 it idles at 33'C and loads at 50'C. I get a CPU PCMark score of almost 3200, which is better than the majority of the older Core two Quads. 1) It is nevertheless pricey compared to the newer 1156 dual cores, but that is expected with it getting an older socket.2) No HT.

Comment:
excellent bargain for the price runs rapid none

Purchased as an upgrade from my E2200, was able to play games at greater settings and still getting higher framerates Intel heatsink is really hard to install. Fortunately I had an aftermarket heatsink currently installed on my E2200 that I was in a position to use Really worth the investment. I was a small concerned with how restricted my selections have been with my socket type, but this has actually created my day

Incredibly easy to overclock to three.6Ghz, beautifully quickly. none

Replaced a Petinum D. Ideal increased my more than all speed. None

Wow! This CPU is nonetheless wonderful immediately after 2 yrs. At three. ghz it outperformed the Q6600 in a lot of benchmarks. With its rapid clock and six megs of cache it executes tasks quickly. In gaming it nonetheless gets the job performed. Place an soon after market cooler on this puppy and it will run at 3.6 ghz+ and do it with temps under 50 degrees C. I like the Corsair H70 heat sinks. My board keeps me from clocking this at four. ghz. I just don't really feel that the northbridge can handle the heat so i run my e8400 at 3.6ghz. I program on waiting till Intel drops their method to 22nm before getting a new processor. In the meantime, AMD is closing the gap and may well be the ideal solution going. I don't like Intel's Sandy Bridge approach. I want my CPU to do one factor very best and that is not course of action graphics. Conserve the cores for superior things. I will acquire a discrete graphics card for that. May possibly turn out to be a AMD fan boy soon.

2 years in and this processor is (at stock speeds) nonetheless in a position to run every thing i throw at it maxd or practically maxd @ 1080p. Really quiet, and lots of overclocking potential. None Sadly, i didn't do my study and bought a mobo that didn't help oc'ing, so i'm running this processor at stock speeds. Nevertheless a fantastic performer

Comment:
No need to have for a quad core processor. No mainstream programs/games employ them however. This thing is all you will need. Very easily overclocks to 4ghz on AIR. None Have had mine running at 4ghz on air for virtually three years now.

Comment:
Worked good for lengthy time but died when I want it the most. The revenge of AMD!!! It was my 1st Intel ever. I was amd fan since 1992...my old 1Ghz Athlon nevertheless functions 24ǝ for past ten years as a download server :) Died!!! Thankstogod still in warranty

Comment:
....dary!!!! Overclocks by at least 30%. Stays cool with air. I am at the moment at 4.5GHZ with a Zalman air cooler. Have had it overclocked for 4 years and no troubles. Non so far. Intel e8400 ʄ.5GHZGygabyte EP45-DS3R8GB OCZ Reaper DDR2 1066 EVGA GTX480 SSC

Runs like a champ via everything I have done with it. Runs games with no difficulties, My system has never even come close to utilizing 30%+ of this items capabilities.See other thoughts none The performance is excellent, plus it is more affordable than the three.33ghz 8600. My bottom line comes down to this: unless you are in a profession that needs Enormous amounts of computing power and the capacity to run multiple higher finish applications at as soon as... then there is no reason to go beyond a dual core processor. This is a excellent processor for a gaming machine, just pair it up with other great elements.

When it was operating, the speed was unbelievable. With the arctic silver thermal compound I purchased, it was running right about 38c idle, 44c complete load. That's the coolest and fastest cpu I've ever had. It began messing up right after two days. When I'd attempt to energy on my computer, the energy would come on for a split second and then go off. Then the second time I attempted powering on, everything would power on, but it would not post to bios or give any video. Then a random amount of occasions later it would lastly post and run beautifully for x quantity of time till I turned it off and attempted powering it back on. Now it will not post or give video no matter how numerous instances I try turning it on. I tried the chip in a entirely different pc and it is giving the identical effect. I installed my old P4 and it boots up with certainly no issue. It was installed perfectly, so I guess I just got a negative processor. Just about to RMA it so we'll see how the second a single turns out.

It functions fine for what I use my personal computer for (general use, graphics, significant-scale photo editing, developing web sites), etc... None?

Comment:
Superfast compared to my older dual corei get about 10x the efficiency in gaming none actually, perhaps its a little bit pricey for dual core.. I upgraded to this from a one particular of the very first dual core intel processors (about 6 yrs old) and it blows that 1 away. Startup and opening programs/playing games is much, considerably much more more rapidly with this powerful cpu.

Comment:
This thing has been operating for additional than two years now. The price tag has only gone down 49 cents in 2 years -- that shows how substantially people like this processor. It's the old architecture -- you can't upgrade with this anymore. You'll want to go with the newer i3 to i7 engineering to get a lot more ability to upgrade. I'll be burning through modern day games for an additional few years with this child.
