This review is from: Intel Pentium Dual-Core E6500 - Pentium Wolfdale Dual-Core 2.93 GHz LGA 775 65W Processor - BX80571E6500
Pros:
Very fast; what else to say?
Cons:
This processor runs hot. With the stock heat sink/fan, a Prime95 torture test got this well above 90C.
Overall Review:
I bought a fancier heat sink and after proper installation, I couldn't get this thing to reach 80C.
Be sure to keep your computer clean and well-ventilated, and the heat shouldn't cause much trouble.
