Pros: it replaced my Q6600 for better performance, now my memory and cpu are running at native 1333mhz. stable as a rock what more do you want. from Newegg.com Pros: Very powerful, OC to 3.33Ghz with no probs. Doesn't get that hot at all in my Mid Tower with stock CPU fan, Arctic Silver thermal paste, and 133CFS case fan. from Newegg.com Pros: Good performance, runs cool (around 48C under full load when ambient is around 22C). Cons: Heat sink fixing design. from Newegg.com Pros: Very fast. Easily OC'ed without getting too hot. Cons: This may be "old technology." but it does outstanding work in an Intel P45 mobo. Other Thoughts: I'm using this in an Intel mobo OC'ed to 3.8 GHz with a Arctic Cooling Freezer 7 Pro fan. from Newegg.com Pros: This is a nice fast Socket 775 processor with a 12Mb (2 x 6Mb) L2 cache. Cons: Pricing does not make sense in relation to Core i5/i7 from Newegg.com Pros: Bought a second of these after running one for several months and they both hit 3.6GHz (4x400=1600 FSB, 1:1 memory) on stock voltage (1.2 with droop, 1.23 no load). Running them in SFF rigs, cool under full load, over 10c cooler than a B3 Q6600 running at 3G, while Q9650 is running at 3.6G (both under full load, 4-thread MPRIME). from Newegg.com Low heat. 9x Multiplier. Bigger L2. Better Cache Mgmt. from Newegg.com Highest I've seen under load is 45 C . Cons: None really. Other Thoughts: This is a fantastic core for an intel 775 board. No real need to upgrade to an I7 for gaming unless you do a lot of number crunching and video rendering and such type work. from Newegg.com Cons: The heat sink that comes with it is almost too small, which isn't really a con, but it'd be nice to have something better suited for the massive heat this thing generates under load. The price is still a little high, but you definitely get what you pay for. Other Thoughts: I was contemplating getting this or the Q9450 to save a few. This wins out hands down. from Newegg.com Pros: A truly great CPU...does it all...and fast too. Good temps at idle and under load. Still, this is nothing that the Q9550 can't do. Cons: Although I love this CPU...and have owned it for about a year, I have also had a Q9450 and a Q9550, as well as a Q8400. from Newegg.com
