 Rating:  - Speed, powerI am a gamer, I don't like to overclock anything, in the past I usually did this, must of the time I get errors when playing, It can be the cooling system or whatever, the thing is that if you overclock the components you are limiting the life of the component, so for this reason I buy this CPU, for the price I consider is a great value for every dollar I invest on this, I can play WOW at great speed, with no delay. Rating: - Great CPUMine idles at 15 degrees and on load it reaches a maximum of 37 running at 3.2GHz without raising the volt... my past q6600 gets too hot to try overclocking... this processor with added 12MB cache runs very fast... will certainly recommend it to anyone... Rating: - Best Intel quad core price-performance. Throw out the fan though.First off, this processor is undoubtedly the best deal out there among the Intel quad-cores. Compared to the Q9550 at $570 and the QX9650 at $1000 or more, this CPU is a certified bargain. It has all of the features of those others (at least as far as I know) but just runs a touch slower (2.66 GHz instead of 2.8 or 3.0 GHz.) I wouldn't pay more for one of the other quad-cores unless you insist on having the fastest thing out there. There are other places in your system to spend your money where ... Read More Rating:  - Power on tap!There is something eminently satisfying about seeing FOUR cores listed during BIOS POST. TWELVE Megabytes of L2 cache? Fast, fast, fast. Installation was slightly annoying though. The processor/heatsink attaches to the motherboard with some plastic thumbscrew rubbish. It requires a specific order to press and turn the thumbscrews. Removal of the heatsink requires a bizarre turning, lifting, then turning combination of movements. It made me long for the days of using actual METAL ... Read More Rating: - Great value.Q9450 comes with impressive specs, but real-life performance often does not scale well with the numbers on paper. This is not the case with this thoroughly modern processor, though. It breezes through the tough video application at 30% CPU utilization, the same application that had brought the low-end dual-core it replaces to the knees. What pleases me the most, however, is how cool this CPU runs. I had intended to make this computer as quiet as reasonably possible. Therefore, both the CPU ... Read More |
