Intel Celeron E3400 2.6GHz LGA 775 65W Dual-Core Desktop Processor

I utilized this in a test rig for a low end gaming machine, WOW! I am impressed. Celeron has usually been a terrible 7 letter word in this market and it no longer is in my opinion. Study additional comments. Intel demands to boost the L2 cache to a min. of 2mb at the similar value. Give @MD-ee a run for their funds. I enjoy both firms. @md-ee provides price per functionality, Intel presents the most overall performance but you have to pay for it. This little chip is extremely nice and can manage day to day tasks without having feeling the lag. It can even deal with games.

LGA775's last hurrah is a doozy - I swapped this WolfPup (E3400 is a cut-down Wolfdale - the E1200 it replaced was a cut-down Conroe) for the aforementioned E1200. Other than generating sure that VT-x was enabled, I've left the settings (for now) at "Conservative/Chicken" (I'm really considerably UNderclocked - I haven't even hit 2 GHz however, and the rating is for two.six!). From what tiny I've done, the improvement is still noticeable. Intel's stealth-packaging. Even though Intel produced no alterations to the processor inside the box (except for essentially including a suitable four-wire fan-motor made into the HSF, which the E1200, and some appropriate C2Ds, and other DCs in the Celeron and Pentium lines lacked), the packaging itself tells less than the old packaging. (Example - nowhere does it indicate anything about the hardware virtualization assistance. Not on the newer box, and not in the integrated paper manual.) If you need to have VT-x, but want to keep with LGA775 without breaking your wallet, this is your only decision. (Fortunatley for us, it's far from a poor decision at that.)

Performs fantastic in my aunt's new HTPC. When combined with Arctic Silver five Thermal Compound. Keeps cool at 45ºC on idle with the fan slightly blocked. :P Doesn't make me edible food! Well I doubt thermal compound would taste very good on eggs anyway... Strong dual-core for the price. Fantastic for standard, day to day tasks.

Comment:
Particularly impressed with the Celeron. Unbelievable what half a bill got me. Used to have a Core two Duo 3. with 6MB Cache- it's really hard to downgrade.

Undervolts nicely, very low power, below 20watts at complete load Ƒ.05v). As fantastic as some Dual Core pentiums or core 2 duos Tied to Finish of the life 775 socket Though I have build couple of Core two Quad, and AMD X2 primarily based systems, this is my initially Celeron CPU, and I am surprised to see laptop CPU like low power. With 2 x Prime 95 operating, the CPU adds max 20watts AC. In my initial setup for an NAS, Asrock G43FullHD MB with this CPU, 2GB RAM and 32GB SSD Drive and got me 24watts AC at the wall with 80+ Silver ATX PSU. At complete CPU (not GPU) load, two x Prime 95 with Max heat and power setting(Large FFT) it only hits 43watts AC.Now, current configuration of Solaris ZFS NAS with 8GB Kingston DDR3 Memory, 5x 2TB Samsung H204UI, 1 x Toshiba two.5HDD, 1 x 32GB SSD, 16GB USB Flash driveeverything operating (No-spin down) will take only 47W at wall. With Dedup and Compression enabled, CPU hardly hits 20%, now setting up Ubuntu as guest OS for DLNA/uPNP server.

I purchased this chip for a low-buck server make. I was impressed with the speed of this tiny dual core, and its Intel. This is coming from a guy whos personal pc is, and builds only competitor platforms, and I have built manyand swear by them. Following my experience with this chip I am prepared to appear at Intel chips further. This chip has some zip for a Intel Celeron. Impressive chip only runs at 96 deg. F. Nicely lets see...I dont want to nit choose it, but โ.00 for a two.6ghz dual core is in my opinion high, thinking about the competitor chip for บ a lot more is a three.0ghz dual core, with additional on-board cache. But you or I wont see the .4ghz speed distinction. Oh yeah, prior to I neglect whats up with the chip having no pins on it and the way the cpu fan/heatsink mounts? Appear to be reversed engineerd. Again, im utilized to competitiors systems. Nothing at all additional to report. Important to note:...the stock CPU fan in my opinion doesnt come with adequate thermal paste. It only covers about 65% of the chip. I wiped off the old paste and put on enough to cover the mating surface of heatsink to chip which would cover 90% of the chip. Additional surface speak to location the better. I have this CPU in a Asus P5G41T-MLX Mobo with two gig kingston ddr3 1066 PC3 8500 ram. I discovered with this board the Celeron can be overclocked. "Overclock at your personal threat!" I dont do it, but it can be performed. I plan to upgrade my power-supply, ram, added Hdds and put in a video card. Once more this was a budget develop. If your seeking at this chip to acquire for a low buck Intel make...go for it i'm impressed. Newegg you guys have been great to me more than the previous 4 years and program on performing future business with you. Big thumbs up on Newegg and the processor.

Intel excellent. good "every day" cpu. spending budget cost and dual-core overall performance none, not for gaming.

Comment:
Low expenseLow energy consumptionLow tempGreat performance for the price Heatsink included will NOT fit older motherboards (where you had to screw in the heatsink), it has to be a newer motherboard exactly where you just "pop" the heatsink into place in for areas). Genuinely happy with this buy, if you are on a budget and want to play SOME games this can do the job perfectly. Gave me a 6. on windows knowledge index.Replaced an aging Pentium D and the case is much cooler now

Comment:
Ideal for HTPC. NO a lot of power drainage.Runs cold all the time it has a lot of potencial for overclocking, but AI haven't done it, I don't need to have the speed. none. none.

Comment:
Brilliant small CPU for the value. Nice upgrade from a single core CPU. Runs really cool temps! None. Great CPU for a fundamental Computer construct.

Comment:
Great performer for a low powered method. easy to preserve cool. I havwe however to see it hit 60C on air overclocking it to 3.2ghz Only and 800 Mhz fsb, but regardless of that it does really well

Comment:
It's a great chip for a media desktop. Plays most games. Dual core. And it's a massive improvement from a single core ʂghz. Socket is becoming outdated. (What isn't?) Nothing at all wrong with this chip, it does what I wants and it's greater than a single core.

Comment:
Operates excellent it is in an older eMachines and effectively lets see stock 2.6ghz 15seconds later its a 3.0ghz I'm on the stock cooler(very small seeking) and it idles at 27C and below full load has however to hit 40C and my situation has this fan and my GPU fan and that's all so it's incredibly cold. I could OC it much more but this is my very first OC and I'm not very skilled with voltages though you can supposedly hit 3.4ghz on stock voltages on air but I don't actually want it enough to threat it. Doesn't work on Mobos with any northbridge earlier than a G31. I had to replace my mobo as nicely to run it but I'm content with it. Generally spent 贎 on cpu and mobo and got myself a decent medium gamer at the moment downloading Crysis from steam will update with results.Mobo- ASrock G41m-gshttp://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813157166RAM- 2x1GB ddr2 667mhz NanyaHDD- Hitachi 160GB 7200rpm

Replaced a 1066FSB 1.86GHz Core two Duo E6300 in an Asus P5B Deluxe.Left the FSB @ 266񳀚, and this chip has been operating at 3.46GHz on stock voltage the first energy-up. With the C2D E6300 retail cooler, it maxes at 57*C after two 1ǘ hours of IntelBurnTest. Idles at 30-31*C. none

Comment:
Wonderful price tag, overclocks simply and extremely effectively. Even mildly overclocked the operating temps are low. Priced higher than AMD processors. This processor replaced a Conroe 430 processor in a Zotac m-itx board with 2 gigs of DDR2 for a buddy. For the money this is a difficult processor to beat if you are operating with a 775 mobo.

Comment:
These are very very good chips None Examine your mobo manufactuer web site for compatability. I thought all LGA 775 chips perform in 775 boards. Not so. Newegg helped me out of this mistake.

Followup to "Do You Want Some Tabasco On Your Celery?" I have the CPU clocks effectively set (stock, not overclocked) and the Final Celeron Standing is proving why the Wolf-Pup (E3300 and E3400) Celeron DCs are Basement Bargains. 6.1Ǜ.9 CPU and memory WEI scores (and I didn't even upgrade the RAM - I nevertheless have the three GB of price range/value Corsair I began with!); that's the 1 MB of L2 and trace L3 (along with VT-x) kicking in. (The E1200 I replaced, by contrast, had only 512KB of L2, and no L3 or VT-x.) On the VM front, it will take anything I can throw at it. As extended as the software supports being run in a virtual instance, this pup can do. Desktop OSes, server OSes - even *Apple* server OSes (the only OS tha Apple allows legally to be virtualized). Similar with Linux and the BSDs (even the x64 versions). The only quibble (not a con) is that some applications stay CPU-cache pigs, and as a result demand a right C2D or i-series. No new cons other than the earlier a single. Nonetheless a steal at Newegg's priice (unless you can get it less costly).

Totally free shipping. Lastly a decent price on an Intel dual-core. Been wanting to attempt a single out, but generally also high priced compared to the cost/quality of competitor.SpeedStep kicked in right off the bat, no tweaks needed. None, other than it is socket LGA 775. Runs at the rated FSB and seems fairly zippy with 2GB of DDR2 800. Not for gaming, but excellent all about desktop CPU.Replaced an old Celeron 2.6GHz with this 2.6GHz dual-core. The Passmark rating chart shows it about four+ occasions faster. I noticed the distinction suitable away. Boots more rapidly, runs faster, Computer doesn't look to bog down any longer.

I'm a network engineer with 14 years of Microsoft server knowledge. I run four-6 Computer's of a variety of kind and age on my house network. I wanted to create a largely new Pc in late December for low-cost and went with one of these processors. I am amazed. The benchmarks I run indicate it is practically identical to my core 2 duo 2.8 with 2mb cache. I have it overclocked by about 10% with stability (stock cooling). I was wary about going with Celeron based on past experiences, but these new dual core celerons represent the greatest bang-for-the-buck processors out there in my opinion. five stars all the way. Will be getting yet another 1 soon to replace a core 2 duo 1.83 in an ITX machine... Really couple of. Cache? I overclocked it by 15% and ran into some mild stability complications... downed it to 11% and its fine. Get one particular these days!
