This item which I was led to believe would work in my Emachines T4150 did not. I am very disappointed that the computer would not boot up with this processor installed. It booted right up when the old processor was replaced.

Nice! I bought this processor as part of a bundle. Heck of a deal! Was able to build a computer running Microsoft Server 2003 for only $300. So, for the price, I was very impressed. It really does the job! Haven't had any problems!

Recently purchased this cpu for a Biostar mobo with 1gig of ram and the thing hauls the mail... I'm impressed.

I found this processor to do exactly everything intel said it would. The difference from my old P4 processor is too much to ever go into detail. But the biggest gain was all my multimedia stuff I do (burning, gaming, video editing etc) has signicantly improved, especially with multitasking.

Compared to my previous processor, this is great. However, there is a problem with overheating. I spent so much extra money to keep the CPU cool. After buying the processor, I found out that lot of people are complaining about P4 CPU overheat. Intel spec says that the idle operating temp should be closer to 40C, but my processor operate between 50-65C. This is after putting two fans and silver compond gel ($11 at bestbuy). Specially when I start watching video streaming, the temperature goes up by 15-20C.
Last week I rang Intel to complain about the temperature problem. They told me 50-60C is still within the specs. So let's see how long my P4 processor last.
Heat Sinks - Many Shapes & Sizes!
A heat sink (or heatsink) is an object that absorbs and dissipates heat from
another object using thermal contact (either direct or radiant). Heat sinks
are used in a wide range of applications wherever efficient heat dissipation
is required; including for CPUs, Memory, Video Cards, and more.
Heat Sink Shapes Change!
Many products come with a Heat Sink, and some with a combination Heat Sink
and Fan. Keep in mind though, that manufacturers are constantly
improving the design of their cooling components, thus the shape and design
of the heat sink or heat sink & fan can change on any product at any time.
PLEASE NOTE:
Cooling Components Can Change At Any Time, And Do Not
Affect The Performance Or Specifications Of The Product.
How Do Heat Sinks Work?
Heat sinks function by transferring high temperature thermal energy (heat)
from one object (such as a CPU chip) to a second object (such as the Heat
Sink), which has a lower temperature, with a much greater heat capacity.
This rapid transfer of heat quickly balances the temperature of both
devices, lowering the temperature of the first. This is what makes a
heat sink a cooling device. Since room temperature is usually cooler than
the hot device, the Heat Sink helps cool the device, lowering its temp to
closer to room temperature.
The most common design of a heat sink is a metal device with many fins or
vanes. The high thermal conductivity of the metal combined with the large
surface area of the fins does the work to rapidly transfer heat to the
surrounding, cooler, air. This cools the heat sink and whatever it is in
contact with. Some Heat Sinks use the metal alone for cooling, some
use fluids (just like you car radiator) and a thermal interface material
(such as thermal gel) to ensure maximum heat transfer to the heat sink.
Adding a fan dramatically improves air flow, and improves the heat transfer
even more.
Remember The
Thermal Paste!
Remember that when you are adding a Heat Sink, you MUST USE
thermally conductive Gel or Paste, to form a good thermal contact between
the Heat Sink and the Device. Failing to use this will result in
reduced cooling, and possible failure and damage to the device!
