Intel Core 2 Quad Q8300 2.5GHz LGA 775 95W Quad-Core Desktop Processor

Comment:
Operating on Windows 7 Pro 64 bit functions great, noticeable improve in RAM responsiveness, and general method overall performance. Windows expertise score jumped from four.5 to a five.9 fantastic cost wonderful processor lol it's only 2.5GHz, no problems of any kind genuinely

Its quickly, quiet, and best for a media center! Low energy and one of the new, smaller nm chips. It also comes with a intel sticker! <- Best Portion!!! It didn't come with a girlfriend. For the cost, this factor is prdy decent!

Comment:
Cheap and quick something far better then that? none

It's a lot more rapidly than my duo. I was able to push it all the way to three.2Ghz with water cooling, but it appears a lot more stable at 3.1ghz so I left it at three.1ghz. But in the finish all I wanted to do was upgrade to a quad and not have to by a new board or ddr3 memory. This should work fine for me for yet another 2 years. Multiplier is only 7X my duo CPU had 10x

Comment:
Quad core LGA 775. If you have a desktop with a C2D this can be a decent upgrade. Otherwise hold out for an i5 or i7. Low multiplier couldn't get this factor more than 2.8GHZ. Should have researched better just before my acquire. Figured three.0GHZ was a gaurantee these days.

This CPU is incredibly potent for what it cost. It can play any game out like Crysis with not even operating up a sweat. I use this in my mid range Computer gaming builds with 2 5770 video cards in crossfire. its not an I series but we can't have anything. Obtain IT!!!

Comment:
It's fantastic. Really should run every thing I want it to for a looong time. The thermal paste pre-applied to the chip did not operate for me. Straightforward adequate to fix but I didn't appreciate possessing to uninstall/reinstall immediately after the temps shot way up.. Neat.

Exceptional performance at this price point... As usual the stock intel heat sink and fan is not the greatest. It's frustrating to see a portion criticized for not competing with say the Core i7 Extreme when it is not intended to compete in that price/performance range. This is an outstanding processor for a general use laptop or computer method capable of handling light multi-tasking. For the price tag you are getting what you spend for with this processor. Effectively, that is with the exception of the stock heat sink and fan, which everybody ought to know are not identified for becoming all that good. If you are searching for a decent processor to power a general use run of the mill computer system method this processor is an excellent selection. If you are seeking for some thing you can over-clock like a mad man, there are better and superior known options.

This just arrived currently with a Pack Date of 01ቸቦ, and is the version that includes Virtualization Technologies. That actually doesn't matter to me, given that I am operating WinXP only, but some people require it.This is dedicated to running BOINC/World Community Grid, and really should at least double the output as compared to the E3200 ƒ.4GHz dual core) that it replaces. It uses about 25 watts a lot more power as measured at the plug (with a SeaSonic 80 Plus power supply), which is a incredibly affordable quantity for the raise in output. none I have used various of the stock Intel fans, and see no dilemma with them, though I do use a Dynatron P985 on my primary Computer for quiet operation. Just hold the motherboard on the back side with one hand, and push the pins in from the front side before you mount the motherboard in the case. You need to hear them snap in if you listen very carefully. I don't overclock, and it cools well sufficient for that objective.

Excellent CPU, low temps on my program, worth the cash. None Must come with some arctic silver on the side, and not currently place on the stock heat sink.

smoked my dual core. ran KDENLiVE, recorded screen at 1920x1080, and played a easy game on the other monitor simultaneously (just for kicks) with no a hitch. win 7 x64 also ran better than i could ask for. excellent core/$ ratio for an intel processor. its gonna make a great workhorse Pc. are you guys critical with the fan?

Comment:
Good CPU if you don't want to spent a entire lot could be faster

Comment:
Great drop in for a P4 None

Comment:
Good CPU for any needs. Why spend a lot more if this 1 is lots for daily user! Heat Sink is the similar as on every Intel from Dual to Quad core and it does not cool as effectively as an immediately after-industry ones. get a far better cooling and you are in organization.

Comment:
Rapidly! No HT I would appear into i5 or i7 if you want to go Intel. They seem to have a lot more bang for the buck. But this is nevertheless a good low-cost processor.

Comment:
Exceptional CPU and fantastic combination with ASUS P5G41T-M LE LGA 775 Intel G41. Work like a charm ! None

wonderful proccessor,i had the core two duo two.5GHz and i couldnt play battlefield bad corporation 2 but i got this and attempted it again and it worked with the core 2 quad two.5GHz its amazingly more rapidly can overclock it ALOT its a touph little sucker and it was inexpensive the fan didnt fit my motherboard and if u will need thermal paste get it when u order it trigger it dont come with any

Thid quad core runs circles around the Celeron D three.two GHZ processor it replaced in my son' s Computer. Very excellent at on-line games. Installation was effortless and I had no problems installing the stock Intel heatsink/ fan (the plastic pins all locked into the holes in the mobo on the 1st attempt, while they have been tricky to lock in in the course of earlier method builds. CPU runs cool ࿈- 40C). Does ewhat it's supposed to do. Similiar to a earlier reviewer, it only appears to be operating at two GHZ when set for 2.five GHZ. Also, I can't overclock it with the Gigabyte GA-41 mobo I installed it on (I've read since it already runs at 1333 FSB some boards may possibly not let you overclock it considerably more rapidly). I'm pleased wth this processor and hope to get four- 5 years of use out of this method

Quad cores for only 150 bucks (at time of writing). Truly helped frame rate on Poor Corporation 2 and Mass Impact two more than my old Core 2 Duo E6600 (at least doubled it on both!). L2 cache is smaller sized than some of the greater Q-models. Some motherboards may possibly need a firmware update to perform. Not the highest rated speed out there. The a single I have came with VT-x, going by CPU-Z. I'm employing the stock cooler with artic silver five and obtaining about 102* F idle and 𞲲-135 full load going by RealTemp. Even though the HSF is shorter than my E6600's was, it appears to run slightly cooler. Possibly simply because it's a 45nm whereas the E6600 is 65nm. Nevertheless recommend going with some Artic Silver five to get the temps down a bit far more.If you can afford it, you may possibly want to attempt and get a faster core two quad with larger L2, but if you are seeking for a low-price way to enter the quad-core world, this one does well for itself.Method Specs:Intel Core 2 Quad Q8300Asus P5N-E SLi (nForce 650i SLi chipsetƜx1gig Corsair XMS2 DDR2-6400896mb eVGA GeForce GTX 260 Core 216

Quad cores There are two versions of this CPU. You will not know which one you are getting till it is too late. I took off 1 egg because NewEgg does not indicate there are two versions. I checked this CPU on Intel's site to see if it supported Virtualization Technologies and it definitely does. Picture my surprise when it arrived and I discovered out that it does not. Investigation into this show that there are two versions of the Q8300 CPU. One that does support VT and 1 that does not.My recommendation is to not purchase this CPU, but to acquire the Q9400 instead. It is only บ a lot more, it supports VT and is faster.

Needed a decent value Quad core and this delivers. None.

Quickly and Cool temps None to this point Upgraded from a Pent. D 925 dual core. efficiency boost was supstantial. I use CorelDraw and AI daily and this processor doesn't even notice. Multitasking is now a breeze.

Let's see 1333 FSB, 2.5 Ghz, and above all incredibly cool. It idles at 32C and 42C on full load in a fairly warm room. I've heard it doesn't overclock quite nicely, but I managed to get it to 3.01 Ghz with a uncomplicated FSB raise. Wish it spoke to me and comforted me when I didn't have any sammiches to eat. :( Surprisingly, mine was 1 of the couple of that does support VT so its a major plus, wish it had a bit far more of L2 cache, but so far that doesn't to be affecting efficiency at all. As soon as a lot more Newegg has excellent shipping and awesome costs. :)

Runs quick, excellent price. Possibly incompatible with specific motherboards Bought this as an upgrade, had some serious concerns at initially. But I forgot the vital step ... UPDATE YOUR BIOS just before you put this in. It'll save you a factor of thermal paste.
