Customer Reviews:

Was The Best CPU  [Posted on 2008-01-29]
E6750 was the best Intel CPU with terrific price/performance ratio. It outperforms the infamous E6600 and easily outshines Q6600 in gaming area.
With Intel's aggressive marketing plan this year, E6750 is replaced by its own brother E8400.

E8400, code name Wolfdale, is a 45nm Core product. Several tests have already revealed that E8400 performs better, consume less power and is way cooler. (good for overclocking.) I fully understand this review is about E6750 not about promoting E8400. However, when you look at the price, you have to compare them together.

As of today, you can get E6750 retail box for $187 from Amazon. Surprisingly, add two dollars more, you can get a retail boxed E8400 (before tax though.)

What it means is you're no longer paying less money for the best performance if you choose E6750. This might upset E6750 die hard fans but technology is a cruel world. And you definitely don't want to end up paying older technology with the same money you can get a newer one.

One last thing. Many people are wondering E6750 vs. Q6600. Here's how to make your choice.
If you're a gamer, do NOT touch Q6600. You won't see any gain for those dollars you invested. In reality, you might experience performance loss.

If you're doing a lot video/movie editing, you might want go extra miles to acquire Q6600. In this case, you will feel great for the extra $80 you invested.

Excellent overclocker [Posted on 2008-01-30]
this processor is able to handle serious overclocking
from a core clock of 2.66GHz to 3.2Ghz core temps drops 1 degree
from 2.66GHz to 3.8GHz core temp rises 4 degrees
*all temps were under full core load using watercooling*

Good Value [Posted on 2008-05-09]
This it's a powerful cpu, with a good price. I've a sense of speed in my computer. If your motherboard don't support the new 45nm processor this is a good choice

Amazing Overclocker [Posted on 2008-06-02]
This will be sweet and simple. This processor is quick and inexpensive. this is the sweet spot of CPU's both Dual and Quad core and few will argue that. It is very powerful at stock speeds and can outclass all it's younger brothers when overclocked, except quad cores on those very few apps and games that benefit from the 4 cores. so like the pros have been saying unless you are rendering your own pixar movie YOU DO NOT NEED quad core right now. Also Don't bother paying an extra $50 or $200 for the faster duel cores as this can be overclocked above them very easily, and it can be overclocked above intels ENTIRE line with a little bit of research.

Not compatible with all PCS [Posted on 2008-06-14]
I was so bummed when I opened my chassis and saw that my motherboard was not compatible with this sweet piece of hardware. I had to go to the website enclosed in the user manual to verify that my motherboard was not compatible with this processor. I wish the information had been available on the product page because when it said compatible with all PC's I believed it. The disappointment was ultra lame! Just be sure to verify compatibility before you buy.
