Product ReviewsIntel Core 2 Quad Q8200 2.33GHz Quad-Core (EU80580PJ0534MN) Processor

A worthwhile upgrade to an aging dual-core system.

I bought this processor as an upgrade to a computer running an Intel Core 2 Duo E7400, and wasn't expecting much of a change going from a very fast dual-core processor (2.8 GHz) to a slower quad-core processor (2.33 GHz). I was surprised by how responsive my computer became. The higher front-side bus (the connection between the memory and the rest of the computer) speed does make a difference (1066 for the E7400 vs. 1333 for the Q8200).

When going from a dual-core to a quad-core processor, be aware of the extra heat that two more processor cores put out. The new processor does run a few degrees warmer. I'm using a Cooler Master Hyper 212 Plus with dual fans in a push-pull configuration, so smaller heatsinks may cause a bigger change in temperature.Read full review...

Verified purchase:  Yes | Condition: pre-owned | Sold by: shishkovangel

well i really cant tell

i upgraded from an core2 duo to this and at least in my game i didn't see a difference. in my mind this can mean only one thing i must be bottlenecked somewhere else. so this review is pretty much irrelevant sorry.( i found out recently that WoW does not take advantage of multiple cores so a faster processor would have been better that more cores. and now i know)Read full review...

Not Happy!

Pro: Can't think of any.

Con: Came with one of the screws on the heatsink fan broken. Fan is useless. Don't trust how the CPU
looks.

Nice item as the price is low

Nice item as the price is low, I liked it and the performance it supplied so far, it was used when I bough bt still meeting the demands of what I used it for. This Intel Core 2 Quad Q8200 2.33 GHz Processor seems to provide the same performace for longer, recommended.Read full review...
