... Of course you will require some pretty good cooling to pull this off, but you can get coolers like the Arctic Freezer 7 Pro or the Xigmatek HDT for around £20 which will be much better than Intel's original cooler that comes with the retail processor package.

My Over-Clocking King.
Advantages: Easy to overclock, runs cool, doesn't use much energy. Disadvantages: May require a large heatsink and fan replacement, as the stock HSF is not very good.
...the pressure I put this Intel CPU under. Some of them have died; some of them just became unstable. The E8400 though laps the pressure up, it begs for more.
I was never a fan of Intel products; some would say I was an AMD fanboy. So when I purchased this and saw how amazing it was, my opinion changed immediately. They truly are gifted engineers to create a piece of hardware that can get me excited and happy about a product so much that ... ... The only problem I had with this processor was monitoring the temperatures. It seems to say the temperatures are much higher than they are in reality. For some reason there seems to be a lot of confusion surrounding the temperature probes this chip uses. Now I never did find out if it was my processor, or the software I was using, it doesn't seem to have affected the lifespan of the processor so I am happy.
This is the processor I am using day in and day out and it is by far the best piece of hardware I have ever owned. Not only does it work perfectly and stay cool, it over-clocks like no tomorrow.
I have my little E8400 running at 4.0Ghz on air-cooling which was a lot easier to set-up than I first thought it would be. I was truly amazed at just how much juice this processor could put out without seemingly batting an eye-lid. Of course you will require some pretty good cooling to pull this off, but you can get coolers like the Arctic Freezer 7 Pro or the Xigmatek HDT for around £20 which will be much better than Intel's original cooler that comes with the retail processor package.
Other processors I have owned have complained immensely when put under the pressure I put this Intel CPU under. Some of them have died; some of them just became unstable. The E8400 though laps the pressure up, it begs for more.
I was never a fan of Intel products; some would say I was an AMD fanboy. So when I purchased this and saw how amazing it was, my opinion changed immediately. They truly are gifted engineers to create a piece of hardware that can get me excited and happy about a product so much that I come here and write a review about it.
The only problem I had with this processor was monitoring the temperatures. It seems to say the temperatures are much higher than they are in reality. For some reason there seems to be a lot of confusion surrounding the temperature probes this chip uses. Now I never did find out if it was my processor, or the software I was using, it doesn't seem to have affected the lifespan of the processor so I am happy.
I will probably never sell this processor, even when I upgrade my computer. I will likely just hide it in a draw in some bubble wrap, so in the future I will find it and be reminded of the good old days. I have no idea where technology is heading now, but when I change this processor to a new one I am sure it will not make its way into my heart like this E8400 did.
I am using this processor with an Abit IP-35E motherboard which is considered a budget board but works superbly with this processor. I am also using a Xigmatek HDT-S1283 to cool the processor which works great too, although the size of it can be a problem in some cases.
So if you are looking for a processor and this one is in your budget, consider it. I know there are Quad Core processors and other such fancy equipment now, but if you are looking for something to love rather than something to use and abuse, the E8400 should be at the top of your list.
Advantages: Cheap, fast and cool Disadvantages: it's not a quad core, £130 may be too much for some
It took a while for Intel to wake up and smell the prices of AMD shares recently (AMD being Intel's main competitor). After years of AMD taking bite after bite out of Intel's market share with innovative, efficient, fast and affordable processors, Intel finally did something about it and released the Core 2 processor. The dual and quad core CPU's completely blew AMD away and AMD still haven't caught up two years later. The Intel Core 2 E8400 is the ... ...advantage of quad cores and Intel has released it's next generation architecture called Nehalem, it's well worth saving your money - with the E8400 costing less than £130, it's value for money, especially if you're overclocking, is undeniable. Whether you're buying a new system with an E8400 in it or upgrading your existing system, the E8400 should be top of your list. ...

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 ...

Quick review of Intel Core 2 Duo E8400 / 3 GHz processor
As a home computer user, this processor is perfect for my needs. It's not too expensive and it can handle pretty much any multimedia task I can throw at it.
I can listen to music, rip a CD, browse the web and download files, all while my computer is performing a virus scan in the background, and everything runs really smoothly. Waiting 10 minutes while an application installs is now a thing of the past, everything installs in a matter of seconds.
I would certainly recommend this for home users and power users alike. By far the best processor I've ever had the pleasure of using. ...

Advantages: Runs cool, less noise, easy to overclock, excellent for games and multimedia, energy efficient Disadvantages: There aren't any
Intel Core 2 Duo E8400 running at 3Ghz and with 6mb l2 cache is one one the most sold processors in recent months. In fact it is so good and loved by gamers all round the world that in some places it went out of stock for days and weeks. It has 45nm architecture which ensures that it runs cool and can be overclocked up to 3.5 Ghz with no extra cooling solutions. Smaller architecture also means better data communication. I personally own one of these ... ...doesn't lag at all. I believe now you understand the power of this mighty beast. To the best of my knowledge E8400 comes very close and sometimes even beats its counterpart (quad core of same speed). This wolfdale is definitely one of the best things intel made in recent years ...

******************
We have seen that some of the most popular processors from Intel in dual core category were IntelCore2DuoE8400 with almost 2.66 GHz of core speed and IntelCore2DuoE8500 with approx 3GHzcore speed. Both processors got huge response from all over the world and they are still in most popular category with continuous demands.

We haven't seen speed in terms of 4 GHz or more, all processors have below 4 GHz speed and hope that this limit will break soon.
Intel is ahead with its fast speed processors in multicore technology. Cor2duoprocessors in cost effective and it have more demands in personal computing market.

If we have a look on its processor than there is a excellent multicore processor with good combination of Ram and graphics memory. PC has IntelCore2DuoE8400 with total click speed of 3GHz. The main considerable features of this processor are its excellent ...
Advantages: Every feature is special Disadvantages: nothing
preinstalled processor or its upgrade. This PC has good solution of this reason with IntelCore2DuoE8400processor and some models also have IntelCore2DuoE6850 processor with excellent clock speed of 3GHz. So what is a role of 3GHz in this processor?
Lets have a look on some applications. If we use advanced applications with their latest versions like Photoshop CS3, 3ds max 2009, CorelDraw X4, than we need almost more than 3GHzprocessor for smooth running. The 2 or more GHzprocessor is also good but we need excellent dedicated graphics memory for better performance. The main problem occur when we have slow processor and running it with Windows Vista operating system. Vista needs some processing speed and graphics memory as well as RAM. So if we need fast performance with Windows Vista and latest version of applications, than 3GHz ...
