Wolfdale 3.16GHz

Strengths: Fast, runs cool

Weakness: None

Upgraded from an E6400, 2.13GHz 65nm, 1066 FSB, 2MB shared L2 cache cpu that worked well with most games and apps. But then I installed this 3.16GHz, 45nm cpu with an after market cooler and wow what a difference in game play and app loading times without upgrading the graphics card. It runs cooler and faster. The cpu fan runs slower and quieter.

Top Dog in core 2 duo..atm.

Strengths: Runs cool, 9.5 multi, will oc well into 4GHz teritory..on air!!

Weakness: Are you kidding...there is none.

My setup: MSI Neo 2 P35 FR, E8500, True w/2 120mm fans, Ballistix PC2-6400 2x1gb, XFX 8800GT 512 Alpha Dog w/HR03 GT and 120mm fan, Corsair 520HX PSU, Seagate 250gb, al in a Lian Li V1200 Plus case. I use to run a E4300 1.8 GHz at a 3.2 GHz oc with my above setup except my ram then was Mushkin Redline PC2-8000 2x1gb (now dead, I'm very hard on my hardware..sigh). With the Ballistix I could only...

Core 2 Duo E8500

Strengths: 45nm, 9.5x multiplier, 6mB L2 cache, one of best overclockers, low power consumption

Weakness: Wish it was an E0

This e8500 and the e8400 are a blast to overclock. There is a lot of room to push this over 4GHZ with the right motherboard. The 9.5 multiplier helps. The overclocking potential and 6mB cache makes it one of the best chips out there. It keeps pace with the quads and it not near as hard to overclock.

Core 2 Duo at 4 ghz

Strengths: Extra clockability

Weakness: none

Other than the Quad Core Extreme, this is pretty much THE CPU to put into your system as far as highest speed goes. Rated at 3.16, this CPU overclocks to 4.0 with ease. I have an E8400 that won’t pass 3.6 GHz on Water and the systems specs are the same. No need to go into technical data on this or binning here, but if one were to make a decision based on cost, then the E8400 is the best bang...

Best Intel Processor for Overclocking

Despite having a higher price tag than the E8400, the E8500's main overclocking advantage is that it boasts a higher fine-tuned multiplier of 9.5x, allowing for greater frequency-per-FSB change. ...
