Intel Core 2 Duo E6420, one fast processor

Strengths: Two independent cores, very overclockable, fastest processor I've ever used

Weakness: None so far (only been using it for about a week)

Upgraded to the E6420 from Pentium 4 640 3ghz HyperThreading processor. The dual core feature is a whole different story. Applications run noticeably quicker, and the 4mb L2 cache doesn't hurt either. The E6420 also runs quite a bit cooler than the 640, but then again the 600 series hyperthreading processors were known for heat issues. The E6420 will not disappoint, whether you are a normal user...

Best Product For Best Price

Strengths: Intel Dual Core 2.13GHz 4Mb Cache+3 Years Warranty For Good Price

Weakness: Don't Like the Fan included with CPU, took a while to understand how to install.

If you want good quality for a good price, it's the only one. The others are whether not as good as this one(previous products) or whether too expensive. And I never choose AMD because nothing is clear with AMD(speed, too many names to confuse new customers ...) I didn't fully checked yet but it's much faster than expected. My old computer always slows down compared to this one which keeps going...

Not bad.

Strengths: Fast.

Weakness: Week 44. Only stable up to 3Ghz at default voltage.

Paired w/ DS3 v3.3. Week 44. Only stable up to 3Ghz at default voltage. I've heard others got to 3.5 GHz with different weeks.

This chip overclocks very well

Strengths: Have had this chip up over 2.8 ghz on air!

Weakness: not a quad?

I have had this chip for a year now running seti 24/7 at 2.6 ghz and it just keeps purring along. Came back to Mwave for a new quad chip.

One fast CPU

Strengths: Everyday tasks seem faster and running multiple programs is more responsive. Video editing gets done in about a third of the time of my old processor (P4 Northwood 2.4GHz)

Weakness: Can tend to get a little hot when overclocked but that is to be expected.

Bought this chip to replace an aging P4 2.4 (OC to 3.0) and it has been worth it. I can OC this puppy to 3.2GHz to get a 1:1 ratio with my memory and it just flies. Very happy that I upgraded. I would recommend that anyone who does a lot of tasks at once, to get a multi-core CPU. Highly recommended.

Core 2 Duo E6420

Strengths: Fast processor with 4MB cache, Great for overclocking, Price

Weakness: None

You cant beat the price of the E6420 since it is the same amount as the E6400 with 2MB of less cache. The processor is great for overclocking and the extra cache really helps out for processor intensive applications.

Great Overclocker!!!!

Strengths: Was able to OC at a stable 3.3 GHz using liquid cooling.

Weakness: None so far.

Great buy, specially now with price drops! Processor is OC'ed to 3.3 GHz stable using thermaltake liquid cooling. Temp is at a stable 45C under full load and 39C idle. No problems as of yet, and great benchmark numbers.

Great Processor

Strengths: Very fast, runs cool, dual core.

Weakness: None with the processor so far.

Keep an eye out for newer Intel processors that could very likely be near the same price as this one is. Intel is pushing the CPUs out fast, and cutting prices, so make sure to do the research before buying for the best value.

Core 2 Duo

Strengths: Fast, dual core, low heat, great overclocking

Weakness: Price

If you can afford it, get the E6600 cpu. But if you have a great motherboard and want to save some $$$, get this CPU and it will run as fast or faster than the E6600 for $50 less.

Intel Core 2 Duo E6420 Dual Core CPU

Strengths: Ultra fast, low power consumption, 64bit, Dual-core for multiple tasks

Weakness: none

This dual-core processor has larger cache size (4MB total), good for computing and multiple task applications. Great for building an excellent game machine. The boxed processor comes with an Intel heat sink & fan. The chip generates less heat (only 65W?). Housed in an Antec Sonata II (450W PS) Mid-tower case and the whole system is running very quietly.
