SargeantSaw@NCIX Rating: Review Date: 09/02/11	AMD Athlon II X2 250 3.0GHz Socket AM3 65W Dual-Core Desktop Processor Cons:Very small heatsink Pros:Quite fastRuns coolLow power consumptionGreat for my HTPCExcellent price for cheap CPU Comment: I purchased this for an HTPC I built and coupled with a 30GB SSD, it is very fast. I never bothered installing the stock heatsink and actually threw it out before even opening the heatsink packaging. Instead I drop a Coolermaster TX3 on it in push/pull that runs silent and cool!I have had a couple of AMD's dual cores now and even when compared to my Sandy Bridge build runs Win 7 64-bit very fast. Also for $57 how could you go wrong?
Janae Rating: Review Date: 09/01/11	AMD Athlon II X2 250 3.0GHz Socket AM3 65W Dual-Core Desktop Processor Comment: Works great. No difficulties with it. It went into a BIOSTAR A780L3L mobo with 2gb ram and never ever saw any difficulties with it. No cons
Dimaia Rating: Review Date: 08/16/11	AMD Athlon II X2 250 3.0GHz Socket AM3 65W Dual-Core Desktop Processor Comment: A buddy gave me an AM3 Motherboard, so I got this chip to go with it. Simple install, runs cool, standard fan included in box is OK.Actual speed pick up from my previous Celeron D and MB. I can seriously tell it is considerably quicker and appears quite stable. Great price, very happy with buy. none

Aloysius Rating: Review Date: 08/08/11	AMD Athlon II X2 250 3.0GHz Socket AM3 65W Dual-Core Desktop Processor Comment: Properly priced, quick and runs nice and cool even on the teeny tiny stock heatsink. None so far. I ran the Crysis benchmark utility with my old Athlon x2 4200with the settings maxed and got an typical frame rate of 16.8 FPS. Put this processor in and got an typical of 27.9 FPS. Quite rapidly for the funds! The heatsink/fan is very tiny but a BB sized bit of Arctic Silver has kept it under 36c under heavy load.
Artan Rating: Review Date: 07/18/11	AMD Athlon II X2 250 3.0GHz Socket AM3 65W Dual-Core Desktop Processor Comment: I've utilised these cpu's in Numerous pc builds for both function and entry level gaming rigs. they are far more then effective for office function and a superb entry level gaming computers. these processors overclock very nicely on stock voltage and with minimal increases quickly can be rock solid at 4Ghz+ NONE! as far as gaming rigs, games are lastly taking benefit of multi-core cpus so if you're preparing on developing a future proof gaming rig pelase go with a quad core or 6 core cpu for not that significantly a lot more money. As usually you can never ever go wrong with AMD cpu's and Newegg. Adore you both =)
Jude Rating: Review Date: 06/06/11	AMD Athlon II X2 250 3.0GHz Socket AM3 65W Dual-Core Desktop Processor Comment: Quick esp when overclocked. low cost, cheap inexpensive. makes a nice media player chip. You can game with it, though not quite top notch, or perhaps its the affordable micro atx it's on. I bought this chip elsewhere on sale w/ micro mobo for very same cost. I overclocked to 3.three Ghz a 10% overclock, and still runs cool got a 6.5 subscore on windows 7 performance test
FlyInTheGarden@NCIX Rating: Review Date: 05/27/11	AMD Athlon II X2 250 3.0GHz Socket AM3 65W Dual-Core Desktop Processor Cons:Noise from the stock fan Pros:PerformanceTemperatures Comment: Coupled this with a 785G motherboard for a friend. Good performing for such an inexpensive processor, the 45nm fabrication means lower temps and overall higher performance. The only gripe is the loud stock HSF, but that's expected with most stock coolers. Highly recommend this to people looking for a light gaming build or office computer.
ryksun@NCIX Rating: Review Date: 05/23/11	AMD Athlon II X2 250 3.0GHz Socket AM3 65W Dual-Core Desktop Processor Cons: - poor core unlocking Pros: - price to performance- 65 watts Comment: Bought this for a basic home office machine and it performs well for the price.The cpu fan rarely is audible at stock speeds.
Joell_H@NCIX Rating: Review Date: 05/23/11	AMD Athlon II X2 250 3.0GHz Socket AM3 65W Dual-Core Desktop Processor Cons: None for the price Pros: Best value on a budget Comment: AMD's best value (IMHO) at the moment. Great clock speed, dual core.. at a great price.
Scaotclysm@NCIX Rating: Review Date: 05/21/11	AMD Athlon II X2 250 3.0GHz Socket AM3 65W Dual-Core Desktop Processor Cons: None Pros: Cheap, good performance for the price, runs cool Comment: Bought this for my linux box. Handles all the basic tasks no problem. Very happy with it for the price. Runs nice and cool.Seems to go about as fast as my i3.
kagehoshi@NCIX Rating: Review Date: 05/18/11	AMD Athlon II X2 250 3.0GHz Socket AM3 65W Dual-Core Desktop Processor Cons: - The included heatsink looks pretty cheap, even for a stock heatsink Pros: - Cheap- Powerful enough for an HTPC or for normal use Comment: Bought this for an economic but "good enough" build and I am pretty happy with the result. Tried a bit of overclocking, and could achieve 3.3GHz with the stock heatsink and fan without temperatures rising too much. As I wanted a silent build, I didn't overclock it too much to keep the temperatures (and fan speeds) down. I've read online that this CPU could easily reach 3.9GHz, which makes it a pretty cheap but powerful performer.
Hien_H@NCIX Rating: Review Date: 04/10/11	AMD Athlon II X2 250 3.0GHz Socket AM3 65W Dual-Core Desktop Processor Cons: Stock heat sink does not cool that well. Pros: best bang for the buck Comment: I bought this for a file server / HTPC. I would recommend getting a third party heat sink as the stock one is really bad.If you plan on using it as HTPC or file server. I suggest you can underclock this to around 2-2.2Ghz and decrease the voltage to save on energy and have a lower heat profile.
thelastboss@NCIX Rating: Review Date: 03/31/11	AMD Athlon II X2 250 3.0GHz Socket AM3 65W Dual-Core Desktop Processor Cons: None yet Pros: Quick and cheap Comment: I bought this to power a personal data storage server at work. It runs Ubuntu fairly well and I haven't really wanted for more performance. It has been running 24/7 since built and it hasn't given me a single problem.
Erin_W@NCIX Rating: Review Date: 03/30/11	AMD Athlon II X2 250 3.0GHz Socket AM3 65W Dual-Core Desktop Processor Cons: Not as fast as others Pros: CheapDual coreAMDCool Comment: This works greats on a 890GX. Speeds are decent, but it is a dual core AM3 processor that is very very cheap. No complaints so far. Runs cool as well inside a Antec 100 case. Appropriate for every day home users and HTPC builds.
Funguseater@NCIX Rating: Review Date: 03/17/11	AMD Athlon II X2 250 3.0GHz Socket AM3 65W Dual-Core Desktop Processor Cons: Cannot unlock extra cores. Pros: Fast , inexpensive CPU Comment: This CPU is great for a Home Theater or for someone who just has basic needs. It is a powerhouse when overclocked to 3.4-3.6 GHZ but you should upgrade the Heatsink. These CPU's are a non-gamers best friend.
Damir_B@NCIX Rating: Review Date: 02/27/11	AMD Athlon II X2 250 3.0GHz Socket AM3 65W Dual-Core Desktop Processor Cons: -pre applied thermal paste (on the heatsink)^AMD should just bundle a bit of cheap paste like it did in the paste, because that stuff was atleast better than this pre applied gunk-heatsink/fan feels cheap in general and is tiny, if you plan on doing any overclocking, invest in non-stock air cooling atleast Pros: -great price for a 3GHz dual core CPU-alot less wattage required than previous gen AMD's-runs alot cooler than I expected (30c offload, 35-39c maxload) even with the stock cooler-better than the Intel pentium chip Comment: Read above, NCIX was great though. Although it was not a huge price difference, I did find it slightly cheaper elsewhere so I went ahead and order on it, applied for the price match online and the order was approved and shipped within 24 hours!Thanks NCIX, expect most of my online electronic purchasing business in the future!
xwinstonx@NCIX Rating: Review Date: 02/19/11	AMD Athlon II X2 250 3.0GHz Socket AM3 65W Dual-Core Desktop Processor Cons: None so fare. Pros: Speedy Dual Core, nice price. Comment: Nice speedy Dual Core great. This will suit the needs of many people. Good for a home office or HTPC.
hjav1@NCIX Rating: Review Date: 02/12/11	AMD Athlon II X2 250 3.0GHz Socket AM3 65W Dual-Core Desktop Processor Cons: None so far. Pros: Fast, low power consumption! Comment: Great for a budget build ($300), installed Win7 and working great so far. No complaints.
Spartan812@NCIX Rating: Review Date: 02/08/11	AMD Athlon II X2 250 3.0GHz Socket AM3 65W Dual-Core Desktop Processor Cons: None Pros: CheapFastRuns cool Comment: Works great in my new HTPC system. Great price for the performance. I would highly recommend this for any HTPC system because of it's low power consumption, low cost (cheaper than Intel) and low heat performance (low 30 degrees). Quad cores are overkill for HTPC's. This CPU paired with a Gigabyte 880GA-UD3H it works like a charm. Handles all HTPC needs such are recording, streaming, downloading very well. Motherboards for AMD's are also cheaper which makes this combo a great investment for many years. This is my forth AMD system and I highly recommend AMD systems to people who look for great performance at a great price. Overall I am very satisfied and I would purchase again without question. Seriously consider this CPU for everyday home use, from beginner to expert use.
Desmond_C@NCIX Rating: Review Date: 01/24/11	AMD Athlon II X2 250 3.0GHz Socket AM3 65W Dual-Core Desktop Processor Cons: none so far Pros: Cheap, low power consumption Comment: I bought this for my first HTPC build and its been doing the job so far. I haven't tried overclocking or anything so i cant comment on that.
BlackMPC@NCIX Rating: Review Date: 01/13/11	AMD Athlon II X2 250 3.0GHz Socket AM3 65W Dual-Core Desktop Processor Cons: None Pros: Stable 3.0ghz dual core processor that can overclock a bit if you want it to. Comment: I bought this after I researched that this processor would not likely have locked cores. From what I've read, this processor does not have locked cores whatsoever. Nevertheless, I sometimes overclock this cpu to 3.7 ghz if I feel the need for more performance.
Gunny Highway@NCIX Rating: Review Date: 12/11/10	AMD Athlon II X2 250 3.0GHz Socket AM3 65W Dual-Core Desktop Processor Cons: None Pros: CheapSpeedy for a lower end build Comment: This processor works great for a regular computer user who doesn't need to game. 3GHz stock speeds means that this should tear through most things with ease.
Zuo Guang@NCIX Rating: Review Date: 12/10/10	AMD Athlon II X2 250 3.0GHz Socket AM3 65W Dual-Core Desktop Processor Cons: - Kinda whimpy heatsink but is quiet Pros: - Very good speed for the price- Good overclocking- Quiet Heatsink Comment: Installed in a GA-MA78LM-S2H. The options were there to unlock but the one I got wouldn't unlock, but you should take it as a bonus if it does unlock. For $60, and overclocked, this CPU is more than enough for office use and mathematical programs like MATLAB.
