Intel Pentium 4 - 3.0E GHz Processor

Strengths: Price versus computing power. Hyperthreading is great. 1 MB of L2 cache really shows up with some of my more intensive applications.

Weakness: This CPU runs hot—really hot.

This processor is powerful. And if you want to save on household utility bills, you can heat at least one room with it. I’m not joking at all here—it runs that hot. I recommend this processor, only if you are willing to go the extra steps to ensure better CPU cooling. This CPU’s normal operating temperature was near 60-62°C in a PC with: a 4-fan Aluminum Coolermaster Praetorian case, all...

Intel Pentium 4 - 3.0E GHz Processor

Strengths: Very fast CPU

Weakness: noisy fan

This is a great processor. I am running very fast, I have 1 GB ram and this processor. The fan is noisy. Prepare to buy another fan and heatsink!

Intel Pentium 4 - 3.0E GHz Processor

Strengths: Overall I liked it, I have not used the overclocking due to existing single channel Memory. It is a new technology and it is not more expensive than Northwood.

Weakness: It's considerable hot while running compared to Northwood.

Wow, this proc is great! Everything runs so much smoothly and games run fantastic! The heatsink was little bit difficult to install and I needed to order the replacement from Intel after I broke the first one. Runs about 45-50 degrees celcius, probably will get a little cooler as time goes on. Great product! Used with ATI Radeon 9800 Pro Graphic card.!!! Great buy!

Intel Pentium 4 - 3.0E GHz Processor

Strengths: It is fast and stable.

Weakness: Noisy fan and hot especially when playing game.

It is easy to install. I have no complain with this great CPU though its fan makes a little noisy. Great performance with Battlefield Vietnam. Enjoy the good chip. Asus P4P800 Deluxe with 1 GB Kingston DDR400 dual channel mode and ATI Radeon 9800 Pro 128MB.

Intel Pentium 4 - 3.0E GHz Processor

Strengths: nice and fast. can run very well even at high temperatures.

Weakness: Can run a tad hot, however, as a general rule they run 10 degrees hotter than northwoods due to new features, but as said...it can take it

I bought this processor to replace an athlon 2000+, together with a new case, and harddrives etc... with the intel stock fan i was getting idle temperatures of around 60 degrees and load temperatures of 65-70. 5 months later, the fan kicked it, and my load temperatures would go past 75.. bought a Coolermaster hyper48. Idle now at 45 degrees and load at around 55-58. It shouuld be noted at no time...

Intel Pentium 4 - 3.0E GHz Processor

Strengths: Fast and faster

Weakness: none so far

So far the best chip i've got yet. I used a celoron 2.4 before and it ran a bit cooler only 27c while gaming but also slower. I was wondering if 42c was good temp so i came hear to find out. I guess it is good. I use a radeon 9800se and it runs great together. I plan to upgrade to a radeon x800pro soon.

Intel Pentium 4 - 3.0E GHz Processor

Strengths: Speed, new technology and set of instructions.

Weakness: heat, noisy fan

Upgrading from a 1 GHz pentium 3 to the 3 GHz Prescott was a huge dramatic speed difference for me, I was blown away! This baby is fast!! The only thing I don't like about it is the heat buildup, can go as high as 65 degrees celsius! Because of the heat buildup, the stock fan/heatsink would get annoyingly loud, and led me to switch to a much better and quieter fan/heatsink from Zalman.

Intel Pentium 4 - 3.0E GHz Processor

Strengths: Very fast processor when compared to the 2.0 Celeron that I was using. Great price thru PriceGrabber,too.

Weakness: Runs hotter than the Celeron, but this is to be expected due the Hyperthreading technology.

I have seen a lot of reviews about the temperatures of this processor, but I have to believe that Intel would not give a 3 year warranty on this processor if they were not completely sure that their stock heatsink and fan would be good enough to protect the processor. I do a lot of video editing/encoding and the temperature has yet to go over 48c. I am running this on an ASUS P4P800 Deluxe MB...

Intel Pentium 4 - 3.0E GHz Processor

Strengths: Speed is great

Weakness: Runs a tad bit on the hot side of things

This is a upgrade from a older P$ system and the system is screaming fast now since I built a new computer. Great price on the Prescott processor and motherboard setup I found. The Chip runs a tad bit on the hot side but the other item is the Intel supplied fan is a bit noisy as well when the temp rises in teh case. Make sure you have adequate ventilation to use this type of processor.

Intel Pentium 4 - 3.0E GHz Processor

Strengths: easy to install High Performances processor

Weakness: None as far

It was so easy to install, first the processor in the socket then the processor fan. Very convenient locking system. The fan is pretty silent and easy to connect. Performances are great, as expected from Intel.
