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

Don't personal this, but I do own a e7200 that is capable of 4ghz and at 3.5ghz destoyed amd 2.6ghz quad-core even when the amd was more than clocked to two.8ghz! This was in video encoding.I'm positive this is a considerably better buy than the e7200, but I intend to go with the i series soon! The wolfdales are excellent cpu's hands down! none whatsoever. Mine runs all my games no complications at all!Mine has only half the cash of this processor. I even suggested to intel that they make a quad-core wolfdale.

Bought this processor over two years ago and I nevertheless can't honestly justify replacing it but. Speed and heat management have be amazing. Amazing overclocking [not that I've Seriously necessary it]. Came with inaccurate pictorial instruction manual for heatsink/fan. Arrows indicating the direction required to turn locks had been pointing in the opposite direction. Make certain the locking pins are in spot ahead of you turn the to lock simply because it's quite a hassle to "unlock" them if you didn't have it all the way in the opening on the mobo.

It's Been operating sturdy for more than 2 years. none And It nonetheless continues to run wonderful, On the other hand there really is now require to over clock...It runs most almost everything with no troubles.

Fantastic processor. I built a new process with this processor and the this is one particular of the very best I have worked with. Excellent speed. Runs games smoothly. None. I had this processor for far more than 2.five years. Sadly my motherboard died due to the fact of a short circuit and it took the processor with it :( Until then the E8400 performed to its maximum. I played a lot of games through that period no errors at all.

It's still fairly rapid and simply overclockable. Almost certainly the very best worth LGA775 dual core appropriate now. Price is still too high! If on a spending budget I'd go with AMD! I'm a gamer and I can nevertheless play pretty a lot each game on highest facts at decent frame rates. Other specs are 4GB RAM, 2x Radeon 4870's. Even with games that suggest a quad core, such as Negative Organization two, this CPU nevertheless holds up.

Mine has been clocked at 3.five GHz on air cooling for 2 years and never goes over 110° F ࿋° C). I do game and render videos, I operate this processor challenging and typically. Windows 7 Ult. experience index for this processor is Ś.7". With water cooling, it quickly clocks to more than 4. GHz. Does most activity in the blink of an eye. Price tag My brother has an AMD six core 1090T and in a lot of applications, mine is more rapidly.

operating perfectly fine. no troubles at all. Excellent speed. Idle at 38-39deg. Full load at 45-47deg. none so far.

right after getting this processor, i believed possibly i must've bought a core2quad but when i did a variety of tension tests in points such as BC2 and JC2, i was shocked to discover that factors had been reasonably smooth. 500mhz OC with a Corsair H50, and my temps are almost often ㅑ°F lower than it was with the stock cooler and stock speed. it's not a pretend quad core or a quad core like the larger up processors. not really a con even though. for it's cost, it performs actual well. if you actually require the superior overall performance, then a superior processor is for you. otherwise if you're not sure if you want all that performance for the items you do, the e8400 is surely worth a quite penny.

Personal this for 2 years already. Nevertheless working like charm!!! Windows Score 6.6 Calculate per second. Absolutely nothing. Possibly a tiny bit high priced but you get what you pay for! Advised!

Overclocked @ 4.2ghz for about 15 months now with an Arctic Freezer 7, very first correct overclocking try on any machine and it has taught me properly.This card handles all modern video games I send it's way like BFBC2, Starcraft two, Crysis, Black Ops and Fallout: NV at 1680x1050 on high or max settings. Typical programs and Windows processes cower at the sight of it.It by no means provides me any trouble whatsoever and keeps on truckin' with an idle temp of 38c and about 45c beneath complete load.Im sad that my BFGtech GTX 260 couldnt preserve up with this thing more than time, and that they went out of enterprise. Looks like the old E8400 gets to show the Fermi who's the head hancho in my machine. Some say price, but I paid 趚 for this thing when I purchased it and decided at the final moment to not get the less costly model with lower clock speeds. Boy am I glad I did that, this thing has produced that funds back and then some just with sheer FUNCTIONALITYMy only true con is that Intel doesnt construct all of their chips like this, they could just pack far more and far more E8400 cores into a chip and never have to release a new item. Yeah, its that very good. If you nevertheless use a 775 mobo and don't will need a Quad, there shouldn't be another selection. Simple as that.

a excellent processor, super rapidly shipping, 5 eggs to newegg.com the heatsink that came with the processor is horrible, can not for the life of me comprehend the horrible instructions that came with it, right after about 2 hrs of trying to get it installed, decided to go back to stock heatsink/fan, only to come across out that my cpu socket pins got bent although attempting to install intels' heatsink/fan, stay clear of working with intels heatsink/fan at all expenses. the processor i would love to attempt out, but i now have to wait to get a new motherboard just before i can get pleasure from it.

I've been running this thing overclocked 20% Ɠ.6GHz) for virtually two solid years and haven't had a single hiccup. I'm employing a comparatively inexpensive HSF & it nonetheless idles at 23°C & never gets over 43°C though operating side-by-side sessions of WoW set to max settings, oftentimes with other stuff running in the background. None. Still a solid acquire, if you're not too worried about obtaining stuck in an older chipset.

Comment:
Super quickly for a dual core, got loads of junk on this HD and this factor just won't slow down, its ridiculous. Can get hot but you can quickly take care of that with a unique cpu fan. I purchased the scythe katana fan but newegg doesn't sell it anymore. for a cpu that I've had for two years, and all the anxiety I've put it through and not 1 crash, its certainly worth the cash on a tight spending budget.

Comment:
I'm 2.five years into this processor now and it still screams. I have no issues maxing out games with this and my GTX 285, they function perfectly together. None It's blisteringly quick nonetheless. I use the stock heatsink and fan and have had no thermal concerns. Weekly game night lasts an uncomplicated 8 hours and this CPU by no means misses a beat. Get this processor and be happy.

Comment:
Bought this Processor in Aug 08' and have been running it ever given that with out any matters, runs rapidly and cool. None to this point Brother in Law gave me his old personal computer which is the identical as the one I am working with with this processor, will be nice once I get it up and operating, processor in it is fantastic as nicely.

Comment:
I have had this in my gaming rig for over two years. Operates good, wont replace it till I make a new rig. I under no circumstances give stock fans a likelihood so I cant speak for that element of the product. Isn't a quad core? /shrug.

Comment:
Essentially just an under-clocked version of the E8500. Easily OCd to three.16. Personally I have mine OCd at four.0Ghz. None thus far. Start getting OC errors @ around 4.5Ghz.

Comment:
Never had any difficulties with this chip. Overclocked to 3.879 GHz with Effortless Tunes 6 and runs at 98F ࿅C) at idle. with my Arctic Cooler Freezer 7 Pro none Gigabyte GA-EP45-UD3L mobo

Comment:
Actually great with overclocking, three.6 GHz on stock radiator+fan None

Comment:
Had over two years, not a single hickup.OC's to 4.5 GHz with an air cooler.Stays cool at 54 C beneath 100% load (Amazing).Incredibly low-cost for what you are obtaining.Highly proposed over the Quad/Six Core processors. Stock heat sink and Fan are trash.DO NOT OC this CPU unless you purchase an aftermarketheatsink and Fan.You temps will go by way of the roof. If you are generating a gaming rid, a dual core is ALL you require.I have built 100's of laptop or computer and IMHO for anyone who has a low budget, get this Dual Core.I have 2 GTX 480 Fermis in SLI and this CPU is not bottlenecked 1 bit.I will be getting a third 480 soon and will test out the CPU's capacity to handle it.

Comment:
Moved from a C2D 1.86 to this. Fantastic efficiency, for not a lot of dollars. Paired it with a gigabyte GA-EP43-UD3L none

Comment:
Fantastic OC'er chip. Have mine at three.825ghz on a 1.17 vcore. This can very easily go to four.+. I'm limited by RAM speed suitable now.....a bit of overclocking on the GSkill to get the 425 FSB. This chip flies. Idles at 34c and full load at 48c. Stable as a rock on Prime95. None Using a Zalman CP9500 cooler. I like the 92mm size fan and the 4 wire connector with PWM and fan speed control by the mobo. Use an aftermarket heatsink to truly drive this chip to it's possible.

Intel Top quality, Super Rapid!!!!! Two cores. ENORMUS BANG THE BUCKYou Cannot go wrong with this!Scored a 6.five windows knowledge with this set up.....Obtain this one. you will be satisfied. I cant name 1! In a various post I explained my mistake.I did not realize what i had carried out until it was too late.I placed this processor directly in the path of the power unit ventilation fan. Needless to say, heat issues with the processor.Lots of ventilation solved that.And lastly, this is from newegg who has however to earn much less that 5 eggs from me. Suitable analysis is the key before the obtain. I own the heat problem, and newegg has sent just about every factor i have ordered in a timely fashion and nothing has ever failed or been DOA, with over 34 items bought, You cant beat that!

I don't feel a need to upgrade it however soon after two and a half years. Price is the very same immediately after two and a half years?

- Affordable $/performance- Holds its value nicely for resale (I mean just take a look, still selling for 赊 on newegg)- E0 is amazingly adept at OC- Runs cool even at crazy OC - Only 2 cores and some well-liked games are out now which use additional ... but a somewhat minor concern nonetheless I've been operating this bad boy on a Gigabyte EP45-UD3R for close to two years now at four.12Ghz (multiplier x 9, bus speed 458Mhz, FSB 1833, and core voltage only 1.248V!).Uhm...the default is 3.0Ghz. I'm OCing by 1.12Ghz...that says it all. Yes, only 1.248v. And yes, I am working with an aftermarket cooler - Arctic Freezer Pro 7 (awesome).Entirely stable, totally cool, and I have no cause to upgrade from socket 775 proper now. As other people have said, those of us with this smoking chip that are running over four gigs are Effortlessly exceeding its out-of-the-box performance and leapfrogging the entry/mid quad core CPUs. Will need I say more? Phenomenal. Easily and by far the absolute really finest dual core CPU that Intel ever came out with. Just make confident to stick with Revision E0 :)
