Power & speed for less

Advantages: Fast, Very overclockable.
Disadvantages: Not the cheapest upgrade, Requires DD3 memory, X58 i1333 motherboard

...comes with a stock intel cooler that it comes with is great at cooling the CPU, you may want to invest in a bigger fan if pushing the clock speed which some have got up to an incredible 4.0Ghz from 2.6Ghz, I have tried to get to this figure but my system became unstable, although i did not try tweaking many settings. Running this CPU with 12Gb of DDR3 on windows 7 Build 7100, everything installed and booted up first time. You will need to invest ...

...fuss was about with the Intel C2D CPU's i have never looked back, These CPU's far out-perform their AMD Rivals. Although there are advantages to the AMD CPU's i would still much advise the Intel CPU's as i believe their Pro's outweigh the Pros of the AMD CPU's. These CPU's are also well suited to office and design applications as they can handle multiple applications with ease. Due to it being the socket 775 type the installation is also incredibly ...

Review of Intel Core 2 Duo E8400 / 3 GHz processor

Great CPU For Price

Advantages: 6 Mb L2 Cache and 1333 Fsb is great
Disadvantages: No Disadvantages found yet.

I did a lot of research and satisfied on this model for many good reasons. I checked a lot of benchmarks from cpubenchmark.net and on toms hardware before buying this processor. I bought this cpu month ago. Its very fast and stable. Core i7 and Quads are far ahead from this cpu on benchmark but they are costly. 6 Mb of cache and 1333 fsb is pretty attractive. Overclocked this beast to 4.00ghz with only 1.31 voltage. Do not overclock this cpu with ...

Review of Intel Core 2 Duo E8500 / 3.16 GHz processor

Awesome Chip

Advantages: Very fast, lots of overclocking potential
Disadvantages: None

Great product, very fast and is very good for gaming, even more so than a quad core chip at the same speed. To be honest, the best thing to do would be to get the E8400 and overclock it. By doing that you will save yourself some money and get the chip faster than this one! A lot of the newer motherboards will even do the overclocking for you, so no need to worry about this. Tip: save yourself some money. I managed to get this chip with little or ...
...as the temps start to get a bit scary. Consider water cooling if you are going even further or a good copper based heatsink if you are keeping it at this speed. The i7s are even better, but not where it comes to value for money. These can still run on the much cheaper DDR2 and have a better selection of motherboards that are much cheaper (lga775). ...

Review of Intel Core 2 Duo E8600 / 3.33 GHz processor

Wow!!! Simply the best!

Advantages: Speed, Performance, low heat level,
Disadvantages: Instruction manual.

The intel core 2 duo E7400 Is really amazing. It is an advance in computer technology. It is extremely fast. It was also a great deal! I bought it from the popular technology site. Ebuyer. The awesome thing about this chip is that it is extremely fast but very cheap! i only paid 60 pounds for it! I really like this processor because it never overheats ( I am a power user so i would know ). I also use the popular 3d design program called "Autodesk ...
