Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 2.4GHz 2.40GHz 8M/1066 SLACR Socket 775 CPU Processor +

So I have an HP P6110F that I got from a friend that was moving. First geekout done after a few years was to windows 10 and it did fine on the E5300 that was in it but the upgrade took forever.The next geekout was SSD, WOW, I MEAN WOW... great upgrade.But after the 2016 windows update I have constantly had CPU spikes for Desktop Window Manager (DWM). So didn't use it that much and used it mostly as a platform for backing up my important files.But after the early 2016 windows update DWM got alot worse and displaylink was no help for the universal dock I had and VGA connection was eating up the CPU, though not as bad. So started reading and come across the Q6600 information and thought that $15 bucks is worth a check. It was a HUGE improvement, night and day... and DWM went from ~50% to ~10% consistently at 1900x1200...While this is a great deal and a perfect fit for my HP P6110F, I did recently get the Q9650 and it too was a HUGE improvement as well. DWM is down to less than 5% for everything except norton security scan windows and the 2013 processor is a great $45 upgrade. NOTE: DO NOT forget the thermal paste...With a 2013 processor and an SSD I will keep this thing around for another decade.

First I want to thank Digitalcpu. They delivered the Q6600 lightning fast and professionally packaged.The processor itself... quite impressive. Although it doesn't light up the benchmarks these days, it can still hang in there with most CPU's of today. It does tend to run a little warmer than I would like, but never to the point of stressing the system.Programs open and close in a snap. As far as video editing, this is a must have. Render times are greatly improved over any dual core out there.It can play most games as long as you have a good graphics card. This processor will not be your bottleneck for sure!Pros:It's a QUAD CORE!Very cheapPowerfulRuns most of today's games with no issues.Great for Video EditingSimple to install... no pins.Con:Does tend to run hot even with "GO" stepping.If you have an older system and want it to be viable a bit longer, make the leap and update that old CPU.

Replaced a Pentium D 945 3.4ghz. in a Dell Optiplex 745. Arrived after about 5 days. came with Thermal paste. my bios was up to date so all i had to do was swap the processor and boot up my computer. My computer instantly recognized it and has been working great ever since. some apps are loading faster games a re running a little smoother with less loading times. was a great upgrade from the Pentium D. Would definetly recommend for anyone trying to upgrade the processor in a Dell Optiplex 745. I have not had to buy anything else i.e psu or anything and my temps are always within range.

installed this replacement in my old xps machine and it brought it back to life,however now the hard drives quit, so I'll installed the new hard drives and I'llbe up and running in no time. this chip was/is ahead of it's time, because thatold computer was bought 13 years ago and it's still very fast and accurate.

This is the last, best, finest CPU for the aging (aged?) PN5-D Asus motherboard. Back in its day this chip cost upwards of $1500 - now you can get it for basically 1/100th of that price. Every year the demands on processors increases, but in recent years this rate has slowed down considerably and this makes it possible to hold on to older equipment for a lot longer and still have it work.With a little know-how, some additional RAM, a modern high-quality video card and this chip, my 8-year-old gaming machine can still compete. Can't ask for more than that!

Got exactly what I expected! A Q6600 for my server! Very nice!

Put it in an old Dell E520.........fron dual core to quad core For like a total of $14 !!!...Win 10 and Win11 run fine on it!!!!!

CPU worked as expected.
