Most Favorable Review

Great processor!

Intel Core 2 Quad Q9650 - Core 2 Quad Yorkfield Quad-Core 3.0 GHz LGA 775 95W Desktop Processor - BX80569Q9650

Pros: Great CPU, I upgraded from a Core2Duo E6600 overclocked to 3.0ghz to this and its a HUGE improvement. Super fast, a noticeable improvement in FPS in games as well, especially in game smoothness. Gained >4000 points in 3dmark with no overclock over E6600 at same 3.0ghz clock . Now running at a rock solid stable 3.75ghz at 1.25v

Cons: NONE.... maybe that I havent gotten to 4ghz?.... yet

Overall Review: temps are quite good for the amount of overclock I have. Im using Artic Silver 5 with a Coolermaster Hyper TX 2. All 4 cores idle temp at 35C-39C. Full load all 4 cores do not get above 58C-60C

Not for Eyefinity

Tripp Lite DisplayPort to DVI Cable Adapter, Converter for DP to DVI-I M/F (P134-000)

Pros: does what it is supposed to do (for Dual monitor only)

Cons: does not do what I wanted it to do. Does not work with Eyefinity on ATi cards

Overall Review: It was just my mistake, didnt read through reviews or do the research I needed before purchasing. If you want a 3 monitor setup be sure to get the Active Mini Display Port to DVI connector.
