Intel Core 2 Q9650 Q9650 - 3GHz Quad-Core (BX80569Q9650) Processor

Can still be an excellent CPU choice for some !

Been using Q9650 in various equipment for many years and found it to give good performance, be very reliable; and be excellent for overclocking (if that is your thing).

So if still using appropriate older technology Motherboard, then I highly recommend you try this particular CPU.Read full review

3GHz InTel C2Q Q9650 CPU

Powerful Quad Core CPU that performs exactly as you would want and expect. After doing some research I installed it in an old Dell 755 Optiplex MT. I did have to Update the Optiplex's Bios from A19 to A22. It was very easy to get the Bios Update from Dell and although simple it was essential. To go from a C2D 2.13GHz E6400 2MB Cache 1066FSB to a C2Q 3GHz Q9650 12MB Cache 1333FSB is an incredible boost in performance. It literally made my 8 year old computer into a new machine. I did also add 240GB Intel SSD, 8GB DDR2 Ram, ASUS AMD HD 7750 GPU, 3.0 USB PCIe card,Creative Omni 5.1 USB sound card, LG 16x Blu-ray RE. EDIT: Sept 7/16 This system is now running Windows 10 Pro 64bit Ver 1607. There is a lot of info saying this CPU doesn't work with Windows 10 but I got it to install without an issue using a wiped & reinitialized old WD 320GB HDD. Of Note: Once all settings are perfect I clone this to my Intel SSD, then when my SSD gets sick or slow I just throw in the 320GB HDD, Boot from it and rerun the cloning program. My computer is completely rebuilt with all settings in 20 minutes (Plus Updates) Have a Good-DayRead full review

Intel Q9650 3,0GHz SLB8W Quad Core

Upgrade from a Q8300 2.5GHz that came with my original ASUS P5KPL-AM mobo.

Installation was easy and the chip works great.

Still going strong.

Highly recommended.

Great value - It over clocked to 3.6Ghz easily so now can run Battlefield 1 with 6GM RAM no problem ;)

Just the processor upgrade I was looking for.

Excellent upgrade from my previous Q8300 Core2Quad, although the difference between the previous 2.5 GHz & current 3 GHz is barely noticeable, the ability to enable VT *is*, I can now run 64 bit virtual machines & enable Hyper-V which I could not do previously.

A sachet of thermal compound was even thoughtfully provided!Read full review
