Cheap n Fast [Posted on 2008-03-15]
Not sure what more needs to be said. If your purchasing this then you probably already have a descent idea of whats out there on the processor market.
In my opinion when considering the price/performance ratio it's really a no brainer. This thing is lightning fast but runs nice and cool.
4ghz on stock easy..... [Posted on 2008-05-05]
Pro: with "El cheapo" stock cooler I hit 4ghz easy with the asus P5E-VM HDMI.
I had a Q6600 B3, this is equally fast at stock... and OC...
Cons: In case you didnt know.. this procesors (E8xxx in general) have some serious problem with the temp sensor.... Temp reading is insane... my said 15c and I know for a fact that its not true... my room temp is 35c (I live in nicaragua) si its imposible for a procesor been cooler than 35c... core temp are 50c and 55c.. and thats also wrong... acording to some expert the best program to read the real temp is: Real Temp 2.41
Core temp, everest, speed fan and bios didnt read the real temp of this procesor in my motherboard or any motherboard for that matter....
Best choice for the gamer today [Posted on 2008-05-16]
This is the best choice today (May 16th) for a gamer. Good price, great performance, huge overclocking potential.
Have not seen the 8500's so far, but their weird multiplier (x,5) makes me think 8400 is better.
Keep in mind, however, that nVdia 680 mobos do not support them.
If you are a gamer, that's the best choice. If you have money, spend it on multiple video cards instead of a more expensive processor.
