best graphics card for core 2 duo e8500I have a core 2 duo e8500 with 4 gb ram which graphic card should I use with it that will not bottleneck?

Probably the GTX 750 Ti with only minor bottleneck. Below that, the GT 740 or R7-240. But of course, it all depends on whether or not your PSU can handle the card(s).

Maximum temperature for intel core 2 duo e8500?Hello,Could you please tell me what is the max temperature for the processor core 2 duo e8500?This i'm using is getting 100º on load and 60 on light use

amadeok,If you're using Intel's stock cooler, then it's very likely it has popped a push-pin loose from the motherboard, which is a common problem. This causes poor contact pressure between the cooler and the CPU, resulting in high temperatures in BIOS, as well as in Windows at idle, and especially at 100% workload.You can troubleshoot this problem by pushing firmly on each corner of the cooler for about 30 seconds while watching your load temperatures. When you see a significant drop, you've found the loose push-pin.The push-pins can be deceivingly tricky to get them fully inserted through the motherboard and properly latched.(1) To re-seat a single loose push-pin, release the latch mechanism to the retracted clockwise position, then reset it to the counterclockwise position, but do NOT push on it yet.(2) To get the pin fully inserted through the motherboard, push only on the leg, NOT on the top of the latch.(3) While holding the leg firmly against the motherboard with one hand, you can now push on the top of the latch with your other hand until the latch clicks.(4) If you're re-seating the entire cooler, then be sure to latch the pins across from one another, rather than next to one another. Use an "X" pattern, so as to apply even pressure during installation.Intel Stock Cooler Installation Guide - http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/338655-28-intel-stock-cooler-installation-guideamadeok,You need to read this Tom’s Sticky: Intel Temperature Guide - http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/id-1800828/intel-temperature-guide.htmlIntel desktop processors have thermal sensors for each Core, plus a sensor for the entire processor, so a Quad Core has five sensors. Heat originates within the Cores where Digital sensors measure Core temperatures. A single Analog sensor under the Cores measures overall CPU temperature. Core temperature is 5C higher than CPU temperature due to sensor location. Intel's Thermal Specification is "Tcase", which is CPU temperature, not Core Temperature. Tcase for your E8500 is 72C: - http://ark.intel.com/products/33911/Intel-Core2-Duo-Processor-E8500-6M-Cache-3_16-GHz-1333-MHz-FSBTcase + 5 makes the corresponding Core temperature 77C. <-- This is your spec.The relationship between Core temperature and CPU temperature is not in the Thermal Specifications; it's only found in a few engineering documents. The relationships between Ambient temperature, CPU temperatures, Core temperatures and Throttle temperatures are shown below. All values are based on Intel documentation.Core 2 Duo 45 Nanometer: E8500 (TDP 65W)Standard Ambient = 22CTcase (CPU temp) = 72CCPU / Core offset + 5CTjunction (Core temp) = 77C <-- This is your spec.Tj Max (Throttle temp) = 100CThrottle Temperature, also called "Tj Max" (Tjunction Max), is the Thermal Specification that defines the Core temperature at which the processor will Throttle (reduce clock speed) to protect against thermal damage. Although Intel processors are capable of operating above 90C, we also know that excessive heat kills electronics. Sustained Core temperature greater than 80C is too hot for stability or processor longevity.Ambient temperature must also be taken into account. Standard Ambient temperature is 22C, which is normal room temperature, and is a reference value for Intel’s Thermal Specifications. Knowing your Ambient temperature is important because Ambient directly affects all computer temperatures.Here's the temperature conversions and a short scale:Cx9/5+32=F ... or ... F-32/9x5=C ... or more simply ... an increase of 1C = an increase of 1.8F30.0C = 86.0F Hot29.0C = 84.2F28.0C = 82.4F27.0C = 80.6F26.0C = 78.8F Warm25.0C = 77.0F24.0C = 75.2F23.0C = 73.4F22.0C = 71.6F Standard ... or ... 22.2C = 72.0F21.0C = 69.8F20.0C = 68.0F19.0C = 66.2F18.0C = 64.4F CoolWith conventional air or liquid cooling, no temperatures can be less than or equal to Ambient.As Ambient temperature increases, thermal headroom and overclocking potential decreases.At 22C Standard Ambient, here's the typical operating range for Core temperature:80C Hot (100% Load)75C Warm 70C Warm (Heavy Load)60C Norm50C Norm (Medium Load)40C Norm30C Cool (Idle)Your highest temperatures will occur during stability tests. Temperatures are lower during real-world everyday workloads such as processor intensive applications or gaming.CT

Nvidia GT 1030 FOR CORE 2 DUO E8500Will Intel Core 2 duo E8500 compete with GT 1030 ?

You are trying to make two very weak chips struggle. But I don't see why it wouldn't work. It would be for light (and I do mean LIGHT) gaming. Don't expecting anything amazing, but do expect frustration.

intel core 2 duo e8500 for bf3i have a e8500 and i was wondering if it would let me play battlefield 3 on high or ultra setting and the screen resolution being 1920x1080, ive also ordered a geforce gtx 750 graphics card and i have 4gb ram.

It won't, you need a better processor preferably a quad core like the i5 4670k to play the game at that resolution at good settings. Also, your GTX750 will not be enough to play the game at ultra settings at that resolution. Should have aimed for at least a gtx 760
