A very high-quality product, I take it not for the first time.

I took the Dual-Core E5400 as a replacement, I consider it a good purchase, since the price covers everything. I couldn't find a CPU marked xxCxx, only xxDxx, I thought at least it would turn out to be Phenom II B50, but it also turned out to be in flight. In general, an inexpensive, quite productive processor, does not heat up, overclocking to 4 with a cooler for 350. more than good . Do not forget that there are chances to open the cache and the fourth core, but even without this, this stone is worth it

Pros

As always, first of all, this is the price, I took it for 2300, overclocked it to 3.85 ghz, the score is Seven 7.1, mine is not bad for a processor with a price of a little more than 2K, the idle temperature is 26-28C, I haven’t seen more than 54 in the load during overclocking

Cons

I consider the heat dissipation 95W to be a disadvantage, with overclocking it will be even more when the cores and cache are activated, this is forgivable, but in my case it was not lucky, nothing happened
