Cpu Core 2 Quad Q6600 2.4Ghz Fsb1066Mhz 8M Lga775 Tray

I plugged it right in to my Dell Optiplex 745 Small Form Factor machine (not the smallest, but not a full desktop case either) and everything worked without any upgrades necessary. The power supply doesn't complain at all and I love the improvement in responsiveness. Keep in mind, I upgraded from a Core2Duo 2.13GHz proc to this Core2Quad 2.4GHz, so the improvement in responsiveness is really coming from the slight increase in GHz, not the extra two cores. I use this system to code with, and when I go to create multi-thread software, it is nice when I have two extra cores to use. Great processor for an incredible price.

Great upgrade from an E6600. Only one minor issue with some thermal paste on one of the pads so the CPU wouldn't post. Easy enough to clean it off and it posted just fine. Crazy to think that these were selling for $200+ just a few years ago.

Upgraded from a Pentium D chip on a Windows Vista system and it sure improved it's performance. Faster start time; shut down time; I use the tower exclusively as a flight simulator and it runs my FSX perfectly now, from the rare to occasional stutters I'd get in the sim with the Pentium D chip. Install was a breeze. Wasn't told it came with it's own cooling fan; so I guess I can return the one I bought separately.

it works, cant complain.

I used this to upgrade from an older Pentium Dual Core. My PC is a custom build and I tend to use components tha, while effective, are a few years out of date; it keeps me from burning too much money. My old Pentium CPU was ok but I wanted something more powerful. I've been watching the technology, waiting for the right time to upgrade my rig but I didn't want to cough up the dough. The Core 2 Quad is one of the fastest CPUs my motherboard will take. Priced at half a Benjamin Franklin, I figured "sure... I'll take the bait...". This was easily the best 50 bucks I ever spent on a computer hardware component.

Dead on arrival. Not booting.

Upgraded my old Dell XPS 410 to this from a Core 2 Duo E6300, and the difference is like night and day. I can finally play stuff like TF2 without slowdown, and having four significantly faster cores vs. two makes compiling software go MUCH quicker. I'm actually going to miss this processor once I build my new computer for Christmas, it's served me very well. Might even keep it as a backup in case the built computer fails or something. I HIGHLY recommend this processor for anyone still on a Core 2 Duo, it's amazing bang-for-your-dollar if you buy it used.

While doing main a computer, i noticed the computer was slowing down in its old age, so i recommended an upgrade. I got the Q6600 quad core cpu,Windows 7 Home Premium 64 Bit, 4GB of DDR2 Ram to go with the 4 that was already present, a wireless card, a low power video card, a new power supply and an ssd to increase productivity of his old desktop. The Q6600 is a great standard user processor and can even be used for light gaming with today's standards. http://www.amazon.com/Komputerbay-667MHz-PC2-5300-PC2-5400-Desktop/dp/B004LTCHSO/ref=sr_1_1?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1439772084&sr=1-1&keywords=Komputerbay+4GB+2X+2GB+DDR2+667MHz+PC2-5300+PC2-5400+DDR2+667+%28240+PIN%29+DIMM+Desktop+Memory http://www.amazon.com/TP-LINK-TL-WDN4800-Wireless-Express-Low-profile/dp/B007GMPZ0A/ref=sr_1_1?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1439772119&sr=1-1&keywords=TP-LINK+TL-WDN4800+Dual+Band+Wireless+N900+PCI+Express+Adapter%2C2.4GHz+450Mbps%2F5Ghz+450Mbps%2C+Include+Low-profile+Bracket http://www.amazon.com/SABRENT-Inches-Internal-Mounting-BK-HDDH/dp/B00G57BN1M/ref=sr_1_1?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1439772144&sr=1-1&keywords=SABRENT+2.5+to+3.5+Inches+Internal+Hard+Disk+Drive+Mounting+Kit+%28BK-HDDH%29 http://www.amazon.com/EVGA-Warranty-100-W1-0500-KR-Replacement-computer/dp/B00H33SFJU/ref=sr_1_1?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1439772219&sr=1-1&keywords=EVGA+500+W1+80%2B%2C+500W+3+Year+Warranty+Power+Supply+100-W1-0500-KR+%28Replacement+part+for+computer+unit%29 http://www.amazon.com/MSI-Profile-PCI-Express-R6450-MD1GD3-LP/dp/B004X6ABTM/ref=sr_1_1?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1439772277&sr=1-1&keywords=MSI+ATI+Radeon+HD6450+1+GB+DDR3+VGA%2FDVI%2FHDMI+Low+Profile+PCI-Express+Video+Card+R6450-MD1GD3%2FLP http://www.amazon.com/Kingston-Digital-SSDNow-SV300S37A-120G/dp/B00A1ZTZOG/ref=sr_1_1?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1439772321&sr=1-1&keywords=Kingston+Digital+120GB+SSDNow+V300+SATA+3+2.5+%287mm+height%29+Solid+State+Drive+%28SV300S37A%2F120G%29 Above are the parts that i used and i will be writing a review on each part.

Nice upgrade to my Dell Dimension. Not as quick as my i5-2520M but pretty good for a six year old machine. Came with thermal epoxy to glue the CPU to the heat sink and a cleaning cloth to remove the old glue.

Put it in my old dell optiplex. Works well. Good and cheap way to upgrade PC.

Llegó en perfectas condiciones y en el plazo previsto (algo largo). Funciona perfectamente y ha supesto una mejoría en mi viejo pero eficaz pc. Lo recomiendo si quieres mejorar tu máquina a un bajo precio (invierte en un ssd que vas a flipar).

I used this processor in zeb DDR3 motherboard. It is Faster than e8500 processor which was used in this motherboard

Working, no issues.
