Intel Core 2 Duo E6320 1.86GHz Desktop Processor

Good Core 2 Duo Processor for the Price

Strengths: Good performance/price ratio, 4MB cache, good overclocker

Weakness: None foe this price range

I am building a good machine without breaking the bank. This CPU has very good performance/price ratio. Unless you must always stay at the edge of technology, this CPU is a good buy. Performance is very good. And it is very easy to overclock.

Price/Performance Giant

Strengths: Cheapest of the 4MB L2 Cache chips... good overclocker on stock setting (get good RAM) ... dual core obviously

Weakness: Now overshadowed by newer members of the "Conroe" family.

with the recent release of the 1333Mhz FSB chips, this proc isn't worth buying anymore. However, if you are like me, and already purchased a 1066 mobo, this is the way to go for you. Highly recommended as of a couple months ago, and still highly recommended if the situation dictates.

Amazing. What an upgrade from P4!

Strengths: 1066mhz FSB 2x2mb Cache Overclocks like crazy

Weakness: None so far.

Pay no attention to the clock speed (1.86ghz). Novices may see this and think this is slower than their 2.8 or 3.0mhz Pentiums. I will not get into a lengthy explanation, but rather I will just point out that clock speeds are not comparable across architectures. Core 2 Duo is where it's at right now. The E6320 is a real bargain. Unless you're doing some seriously extreme gaming or running very...

Very overclockable CPU as other Core 2 Duos

Strengths: Greatly overclockable

Weakness: none

The cheapest CPU with 4MB cache. Can run at 2.8Ghz without touching a thing except FSB setting. Currently runing at 3.0 Ghz with 1.425v for 1 month without shutting down once and it never crashed.

excellent CPU with cheap price

Strengths: fast CPU, 4M cache, only 65w without much heat.

Weakness: the built-in fan is still large and a little noisy.

overall it is a great product. the price drops a lot since last year. the speed is fast, and it does not generate much heat. The only weakness is that the built-in fan is a little noisy.

Great Processor and cheap

Strengths: Cheap, I got it in a Fry's combo w/ a mobo for 15X.xx. It works great. Temps are low, 36 idle saying my system temp is also 36. Fast enough for most of my applications.

Weakness: Difficult to OC due to low multiplier. Needs high end ram. I can't OC due to my ECS PT890 mobo.

It works like its suppose to. I haven't OC'ed it so I don't know the potential on this chip. Using stock heatsink and so far it works fine. Stock heatsink is not loud. It is definitely not the loudest thing in my computer (CD rom drive and HD, and GRaphics card cooler). It is easy to install.

Good price for performance

Strengths: 4MB Cache

Weakness: none

Awesome processor with power and overclockability. Compared to the E6300's 2 MB cache, this one has 4 MB cache on it. It's super fast compared to pentium4 HT. Get the performance for great value!

Fastest CPU I've ever had...

Strengths: Overclocked on stock cooler to 2.8ghz with some ddr2 800 fairly easily. First time I can say I've got a near top of the line CPU. Runs everything I've thrown at it just fine.

Weakness: 7x multiplier but enough to get past 3ghz with the way ddr2 prices keep dropping. Ran a little warm on stock cooler when oc'd.

PCMark05 went from 49xx to 61xx when overclocked - using IDE drive, 2GB ddr2 800 ram (not oc'd), DS3 rev3.3 and cheapo 7300GT pci-e card. First time ordering from mwave.com, couldn't be more pleased.

Nice Processor

Strengths: 4MB cache, seems to run faster than my P4 3Ghz Extreame and runs cooler. 1066MHz FSB, more cache than the E6300

Weakness: this is the low end 4MB cached chip,

I was fairly impressed with the speed. Hard to get over the 1.86GHz rating when I had a 3GHz P4 before. But this seems faster. I wish I could have benchmarked my old PC before I got rid of it, but like I said this one does seem faster. I'll probably buy the E6600 next time though, just because it’s faster. But this chip will be fine till then.

This processor ROCKS.

Strengths: Overclock's like non other i've used

Weakness: The user that cant oc

Im using this processor on this board Gigabyte GA-G31M-ES2L and it is amazing. The board is only around $52 at most place's. I am using cheap $13 DDR2 800 ram. Set the ram to run at 2.0 options are 2.00 2.50 and 3.00 and set your cpu up to 3.0Ghz turn off IEST and set your voltages to auto. Your DDR2 800 ran will run at like 858 easily. I have sense put in some corsair DDR2 1066 ram and am...
