Probably the best processor of 2006

bytowel401 Jan 25, 2007
18 Helpfuls 19 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Very fast and cheap
Cons No transparent or glow in the dark version available.
Recommended it? Yes

Not the fastest, but definitely the best. Of course I won't count expensive special-purpose processors or any of that. Usually when some company releases a new line of processors they go out of their way to create immense hype, then when they finally release the product it is dead expensive. This...

Excellent Mid Priced Cpu

byeddielakr Jun 20, 2007
9 Helpfuls 10 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Very Fast, Affordable, Great Overclocker, works well in vista
Cons Cpu prices drop, Runs very hot, Original fan is bad
Recommended it? Yes

I purchased this on Ebay for approximately $155 brand new with the heatsink/retail fan.

Intel came out with a duo core 2 processor. The processor is not like the old intel pentium chip, because these run as 2 processors built into one. What this does is making your programs run quite a... Read full review »

My Over-Clocking King.

bywheelchair-wiz Feb 17, 2009
8 Helpfuls 9 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Easy to overclock, runs cool, doesn't use much energy.
Cons May require a large hsf replacement, as the stock HSF is not very good.
Recommended it? Yes

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... Read full review »

Intel E8400 do's & don'ts

byglenn_welt Apr 12, 2009
1 Helpfuls 2 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Best value 4.0Ghz Dual Core 6MB L2 Cache processor available today.
Cons $165 less for me to spend on pizza.
Recommended it? Yes

Having built many PCs back to the days of paying $1,000 for a processor that ran at 100hz, recalling the progressions over almost 30 years has brought me to the point where justifying the purchase of another CPU has become nearly impossible due to the almost instantaneous launch and multi-task...
