A processing powerhouse!!! that's what this processor is.
It can handle anything you throw at it, photoshop, music ripping, video editing, games, developing, or if you wish, everything at the same time.
Note: it can be frustrating to wish to top the processor and can't.
Pretty good processor, definately uses less power than Pentium 4 Prescotts, but seems to be a bit more finniky when overclocking than people mention online.
Runs alot cooler than my the 6600 it replaced. Idles in upper 20C range and maxes out around 50C with all 4 cores at 100% load using stock heatsink and fan. Old 6600 idles in upper 40's and went all the way up to 60+ under full load. Intel needs to get rid of hard to install pushpin design for heatsink and fan. Very difficult to install correctly and you might bend/crack motherboard in process! So that's why I"m taking off a star mainly for that. Otherwise, a decent cpu all around but probably overkill for most users since most software today still isn't written for multiple cores so most of the time the extra cores go unused. Also some programs get confused by the extra cores. Didn't really help much compared to my old 6600 in Flight Simulator ... Read More:
When I ordered this I thought I would be sent the 125W 90nm, but instead received the 89W 90nm 6000+, which is better because I found out later my motherboard can only handle up to 95W so I lucked out there. With the stock cooler I found it runs very cool at around 30-40C depending on what I am doing and which core (Core #2 runs about 10C hotter idle).
I am not sure why this product is mislabeled as the 125W, maybe amazon needs to change it or maybe it was just luck. But I am very happy with this CPU overall, a huge difference from my old X2 3800+.
This CPU has a great cost/performance ratio. While I do not overclock, it runs at 3.17 Ghz on an ASUS P5Q mother board with 4 gigs of CORSAIR DDR2 800 speed ram. While I did not have any problems loading Vista Home Premium, if your verson is not SP-1, then only have 2 gigs of ram onboard at the time of install and do not increase it to 4 gigs until SP-1 installs. Also, the P5Q series of mother boards is very new and while it does take advantage of all of the features of the Intel E8500 CPU, one of the first things you need to do is upgrade the BIOS to the lastest available from ASUS. With these cautions, you will have a blazing fast system that is in a moderate price range.
Good solid cpu, works great, very fast. Would have gave it 5 stars but not able to overclock very much. It loses stability a little over 3000mhz. Was expecting a to be able to get a little more out of it. Other than that its a great buy for the price.
Bueno lo compre hace unos 4 meses y me parece que su precio actual esta muy por encima de lo que realmente es. Es muy rapido ningun inconveniente en 4 meses , realmente una buena compra
Paired with a Gigabyte EP35-DS3L motherboard and OCZ RAM.
Very fast, very reliable, and very cool. In the same case, same cooler (had to change retention mechanism obviously) same room, etc., it's around 6ºC cooler than the AMD X2 processor it replaced on idle, and 10ºC cooler on load. Not to mention a lot faster. The difference is bigger than what I would've expected.
i had my desktop build for almost 2 days now and its functioning great. the quad core is working great with my 9800gtx graphic. the processing is smooth and most importantly, no heat trouble so far.
