Question: I have a 240w powerSupply will it handle this processor? My computer is a Hp dc5800 sff i also want add a small video card/w 8gbRam
Document: When I put it into the computer with a new processor the video card on this mother board did not work at ALL! I emailed the company and never heard back from them. I need a replacement for this unusable motherboard.
I own a Acer x1700 desk top. Came with an E1400 2GHZ CPU. Installed the E8400 chip and OC threw the FSB to 3.3 GHZ. My windows experience for processor moved from 5 to 6.4. I payed 59.00 dollars used. It was a great deal. I also installed a Zotac gt520 GPU card. Not the new one but the older one with 4 caps.
I have been using this processor in a self constructed computer for over a year now with no problems whatsoever. In all my other computers, I have been using AMD CPUs. So, I thought I would give Intel a try. I am very satisfied and so I highly recommend this unit. I do audio and video work. I cannot comment on how it holds up in gaming as I do not play computer games.
I am very pleased with this chip. Easy to install and it hauls. Couldn't ask for anything more.Other notes:  This was a first time computer build for me. It was a little scary clamping down the processor to the MoBo. For other first time builders, it DOES take a little bit of force to clamp down the intel chip. Also, the chip has some thermal compound on the back already (I didn't use arctic silver).
I've been using this processor for a few months now in my gaming computer. I've got it paired with 2 GBs of RAM and a Nvidea Geforce 9600 GT running Widows Vista Home Premium 32 bit. For gaming, usually the Graphics Card is the bottleneck, but I had been using the exact same setup with an older Pentium D 2.8 Ghz Dual Core. After switching it everything runs at a higher frame-rate. I would imagine most people who are building a gaming system would do fine with this processor.
I replaced My previous CPU, an Intel E2140 dual core with this one. It basically doubles performance.You might be interested in some numbers:Running 2 GB corsair ram and and XFX 8800gt video card I obtained 19000 3dmarks on 3d mark 2001 with the e2140, and 41000 3dmarks with the e8400. This means that the e2140 was a limiting factor for my PC.Doom3 runs super smooth at high settings.I just cannot think on a better CPU for daily use and gaming. Very Happy!
Pretty good price, its not a top of the line quad core, but hey, as far as I can tell, my pc runs about the same as my friends, who has a much more expensive quad core. If you want an above average gaming computer for a decent price, look no further. Worked great out of the box and no problems, so I don't see any reason to get anything else. Have yet to overclock it, but heard that works well too.
This seller was very nice to let me return this CPU after shipping it like lightning. The problem was not with the CPU but wiht my computer. It was way to lame to handle such an epic beast! !
This processor is everything people say it is and then some. It is super fast. Whether you are using it for gaming or multimedia or both, I am sure it will handle all of your needs. Well worth the price.
This is an excellent CPU for the price if you don't need a quad-core setup. My computer is mostly use for work and gaming, and E8400 has been able to handle everything that I've thrown at it.The quick specs:Intel Core 2 Duo E8400 @ 3.0GHz2GB DDR2 800MHzWestern Digital WD6400AAKS 640GB HDDRadeon 4770 512MB24" LG monitor (1920x1200)Work:I'm a web developer so my more CPU intense work applications are Photoshop CS and the Flex SDK (Eclipse IDE).
Answer: 240 should be ok but just so you know the power draw on idle http://www.pcstats.com/articleview.cfm?articleid=2394&page;=2
