Overclocking MONSTER

byjustin3680 Jan 30, 2007
17 Helpfuls 18 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Perfection. Speed, speed, speed, potential, price.
Cons 5 stars aren't enough.
Recommended it? Yes

Intel was dieing with the NetBurst Microarchitecture where AMD was starting to steal Intel's thunder with its Athlon 64 processors. Every so often when Intel and AMD would put out a newer and faster processor it would top its rival by a small margin. Well out of nowhere comes the beast that is the... Read full review »

Intel finally retakes AMD

byandrewzorn May 18, 2007
11 Helpfuls 12 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Speed, price, low power/heat.
Cons Rumored to be a short-lived platform, it will eventually be beaten.
Recommended it? Yes

NOTE: Due to the nature of high-end computer parts, the information found in this review (especially in regards to performance) will likely be dated within a matter of months.

I was a long-time AMD fan until this CPU finally came out (after much speculation and rumor). I had an... 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...
