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

Comment:
I have now installed, built, or purchased 5 computers with this processor over the past 2 months. Very happy with the speed, low noise, etc. Great processor for the money.

Comment:
I've been running this CPU for three weeks now. No problems at all. Fast, cool, great!!

Comment:
Good CPU, no problems since buying it. Good deal if buying on sale. However for around the non-sale price may be able to get a better, 4-core CPU.

Comment:
Fast, quiet great CPU, does everything except make me waffles in the morning.

This CPU runs very cool compared to my old E4600 and uses much less voltage (1.3ish v stock to 1.18125v stock). It overclocks extremely easily (4.2 ghz stable at vcore 1.35, NB 1.4, SB, 1.4 on P5N-D)! Definitely recommend. Though if you need a CPU that will not bottle neck the GPU, this is overkill. PS. Intel went cheap on the coolers. E4600 stock heatsink is twice as big than this. Just as a head's up

Gave my E6750 to my wife and bought this one and OC'd with my old XP-90C Heatsink 4ghz 1.250v 445mhz (E0 Stepping). Extremely good CPU This review was modfied by poster @ 10-13-09 02:04 PM

Definitely an improvement over my old processor, much faster. Great product except for the fan which seems like a cheap system, prone to problems. Be careful installing it. Initially one of the plastic connectors wasn't fastened properly and the processor verged on overheating. (I downloaded the motherboard sensing software from Intel.) Otherwise, I'm very pleased.

Great processor. be careful snapping in plastic fasteners of heatsink into mobo.

Comment:
Stays at a nice 49c with the cheap 9 doaller cooler that comes with it, great item.

Comment:
This processor has worked flawlessly. It's fast enough for me...I mainly use it for Adobe Master Suite CS4 and audio editing. Good price!

Comment:
Works great in my rig. Don't really need quad core processors at this point so if you are looking for a cheap and fast chip this is it.

Comment:
This has been a great purchase. It's fast, cool and overclocks like a champ. I think I made the right choice between this and a slower Quad. If yo're into gaming and general computer usage, I think dual cores are definitely better value.

Great bang for your buck! Been using this processor for about a year now. No issues / flaws. Big gamer and power user. Able to run multiple processes (i.e DVD burner, WoW, and AVG and Spybot search and destroy all running actively at the same time) without a system performance hit! Very reliable! NICE FAN!

mini-itx motherboards scream with this processor on board. I have used the e5200 as a starting point and have found that the e8400 is the sweet spot for mini-itx motherboards from Intel.

Comment:
The product works perfectly fine.

Comment:
I've gone from p4 2.6 to 8400 a major difference. Played COD4,Crysis,Gears of War using xp and factory intel heatsink.Tempertures aroud 70 degrees playing games. I've ordered a Xigmatek HDT-S1283 heatsink to try and keep tempertures lower and also try some over clocking. I've read cpu can be overclocked easily to 4.0 ghz. When not gaming system idle tempertures around 40 degrees. If your looking for a bargain price and good stability you can't beat this for dual core.

Comment:
I've installed this processor on an Intel DG45ID board to build a Windows Media Center PC. I gotta tell you, so far (it's only been 10 days) I am really impressed. Don't blink! You might miss something. Intel supports this processor very well online. Super fast, runs cool, (35C-36C) very powerful. Heat sink fan runs a little slow at times, but easy to overcome.

Comment:
I got this CPU for gaming and it is really nice. Its very quick and fits my needs easily. The only problem I have with this is that it is not a quad core so zipping and unzipping files takes awhile.

Comment:
Great chip with amazing overclocking potential. Runs cool and is the quality that i expect from intel. Recommend this because you can't go wrong with the bang for the buck that htis delivers

Comment:
This processor has improved the performance game wise and otherwise in my Dell Inspiron 518 Desktop. It is much faster and more reliable than the Intel Pentium Dual-Core E2200 that my desktop came with. anyone who does not have a core duo 2 or higher should get it. This site is cheaper and quicker to get items than going to a direct merchant (I.E. Intel). Great deal and great service.

Comment:
I've purchases this product a bit over a year ago and I am extremely satisfied with it. It stays cool even if OC and gives a great performance.

Comment:
It was pretty easy to get a stable 4.0ghz overclock (on water). Some might consider this a downgrade from the Q6600 I was running before but I thought these dual core processors looked a lot better than the 8xxx series of quads and much less money. Not to mention I think my performance in gaming is actually better with the E8400 than my Q6600.

Comment:
I chose this processor because on sale it offered the best trade-off of performance versus price, and I didn't need a quad core for this build. I have no complaints; this processor works exactly as it's supposed to, and the included heatsink/fan works fine for a stock build

Comment:
Bought this to replace a Q6600 that fried on me been using it for a few months now and I'm very pleased! Coupled with the Noctua NH-C12P CPU cooler, it idles at 30C and at load 40C! Needless to say, I'm very pleased!

This is the third E8400 I have purchased for coustomers and myself. 3.8 Ghz on air no problem, I myself has this little gem overclocked to 4.2 on H2O.
