I have had this cpu for over 1 year and I can say that I'm still impressed with its speed.OC'd to 3.4ghz the whole time on air. Great Buy

Comment:
I was running a dual core and my five wow accounts usually had both cpu's pegged at 100% and performance suffered. Now I'm at 60% usage and have power left over when I need it. Found my box's cooling was causing it to overheat but opening up the side fixed that for now.

works no issues i bought as part of a combo deal

This thing screams! Runs AutoCAD 2011 along with anything else I can think of without a hiccup! Make sure you have a major CPU Cooler!

Running Windows 7 64bit...fast! You will love it.

Replaced an existing Intel Celeron in a Vista 32 bit server platform. Installed and booted, computer worked perfectly on completion of boot up. Performance increase well worth the price. This processor certainly lived up to its reputation. A great value.

I love this processor. Haven't been able to max it out yet!

Comment:
No complaints. Fast, stable, and can be easily overclocked. Great value.

i've only had it for 18 hours lol but it replaced a athlon xp3200 system so yeah i'm flabberghasted at the performance. lol this is my first intel system and i was a little nervous about how the processor installed so i ordered a partially built barebones system from somewhere else, how ever i did purchase a video card and dvd burner from tiger and they shipped it really fast and have great customer support to answer any questions you have.

a great cpu. runs at 32 celcius at the hottest, i overclocked it a small amount, i have it at 2.7ghz. runs crysis, wic just about everything great. i have a thermaltake maxorb. and its nice.

Got Intel DX38BT X38 Socket 775 Motherboard, Ultra X-Pro 750w APFC PSU 2-80mm Fans Black,Windows Vista Ultimate 32-bit,OCZ Platinum 4096MB PC10666 DDR3 1333MHz (2x2048),XFX GeForce 9800 GTX Black Ed. 512MB PCIe,Intel Core 2 Quad Q9300 2.5Ghz 6M 1333Mhz CPU thermatake cooler the big one. with suprano case Crysis is super on this build. only problem i have is with the onboard lan driver. other than that perfect

Comment:
Just installed it in a machine I built and it runs like silk! Crysis is kids play for this CPU and while it runs warm, it isn't horrible. Great buy, great CPU - you got to get this one!

This is wicked FAST!!!.....don't even have it overclocked, and is running incredible....18+ programs running at same time with all media files running....would not slow down....DX48 board by Intel.....and yes you can now overclock intel cpus; in case amd guys are wondering. This uses a 45nm technology, and runs cooler; so you may not need a big honkin cpu fan. I run an all-copper Ultra-Quiet 18db cpu fan from Endpcnoise.com....wow it's awesome and silent...

Comment:
got in a combo....overclocks really well when cooled properly... dunno if it's worth getting over a 6600 if you plan to overclock but this sucker handles crysis smooth as butter, have the zerotherm butterfly on thsi sucker and unoverclocked the cpus at about 33C during games excellent compatibility with 680i xfx

Comment:
Wow. A quad chip that runs cool for under $300 and delivers the computational power. I used the Q9300 as the core of a scientific graphics workstation running Fedora 8. It is very satisfying to see the more intensive software apps use all 4 cores to crank out results blindingly fast. (You gotta love seeing 400% CPU utilization when running single, multithreaded app.) Highly recommended.

Comment:
I love this processor. The quad core seems to run a bit warmer on the board, but I think there is a problem with the temp calculation, because it is cool to the touch. No problems so far, and I've had it for 2 weeks.

I purchased this processor with my 780i XFX Motherboard. I also installed using 8 gigs of XMS2 Corsair Ram, 850 Watt PS, 8800 GTS OC, 2-750 Western Digital SATA HD's, and what a CPU! I do alot of video editing, and with Vista 64 bit, everthing is playing ''VERY NICE'' LOL!! Great CPU, and so happy that Vista, along with other vender's, are finally getting caught up with there compatibility issues!! VERY HAPPY with this CPU, and my recent build!!!

Hey, this is a good processor. I tried e8400 wolfdale, but when downloading tv shows, i couldn't check my email. Wow. But Q9300 yorkie, this cpu installed great, was quiet and nice from the start, and i run it now, from stock 2.5ghz, to oc 2.875ghz (380fsb x 7.5x). It's a joy, and feels like the best processor i've ever had. I tried the Q9450, but it was like a fat horse, and got sent back. This q9300 is a fine item. Highly recommended, A+++. TD rocks (they refunded me on the e8400, just like a Tiger should (Brown Sugar.) TD rocks. W/ this cpu, u, too, could rock (l8ike TD.) Get on it (like a heatsink.) Oh, wow.

Great processor! Running on a EVGA 780i with 2gb of Crucial Ballistics tracers, a 7600gt (soon to be upgraded), and a 800w PSU. It runs flawlessly. I have been trying to get it to use more than 50%, but I am having a hard time. I can fold, run BF2, and listen to iTunes all at once, and the processor only goes up to about 45% load. I am currently running it @ stock, but I will soon overclock it to around 3.0ghz. My OCZ Vendetta is keeping it idling at 40c, 45c at full load (well as full as I can get it). If you can afford it, I would recommend getting the q9450 instead of this, but it really dosn't make that big of a difference.

What can I say? The process is a yorkfield from intel which use to be exclusive to Intel core 2 extremes - costing at around $1000+. It doesn't have all the features of the core 2 extreme yorkfield BUT if you have great memory, it performs just as good, if not better, while presenting four 45nm cores instead of just two. If you have windows Vista, this is the processor to reduce bottlenecking for your Tri-sli/CrossfireX gaming needs.

Yes Finally TG has q9300 . It's awesome 45nm Core Duo Quad. But it's sad that TG don't ship anything to Lithuania , i have all my orders send to friends who lives in U.S.A. , then he sends me to Lithuania. Please TG allow shipping to Lithuania i think you would have more orders than you have now.

Comment:
Yes, Yes, Yes!!! TG finally has a 45nm Core 2 Quad!!!!!! This rocks in performance with the added GHz (2.5 instead of 2.4) Temps are less, so is the TDP wattage! The overclocking ability is outrageous, I wish it was retail so I could test OC'ing on a stock cooler. So far, not done OC'ing, just got this, I am running with P5N-T Deluxe, 8GB RAM, 3 750 GB HD's and a GeForce 8800 Ultra and liquid cooling, too chicken and taking slow with 3.66GHz @1.417 Volts hovering with temps at 60C max!!! Performance is great, get this (as in a few other reviews) instead of the Q6600, but I'm also waiting for the Q9450...
