Overall Review: Useless.

Does its intended purpose

Intel Core 2 Quad Q9550 - Core 2 Quad Yorkfield Quad-Core 2.83 GHz LGA 775 95W Desktop Processor - BX80569Q9550

Pros: I decided this over a Core i7. Why? Overclockability! (Is that even a word? Nope, its not.)

Cons: Stock fan is a joke.

Overall Review: Stable on my Gigabyte motherboard. Have not overclocked it yet, but I have the fan to handle it....
