Quad core.three GhzGreat price. Stock heatsink is a joke. Looks like it wouldn't even awesome a initial gen Athlon. One particular egg off for that. Other than the stock heatsink I'm satisfied with this CPU. Been about 6 years due to the fact my last construct and this is absolutely a step up from the Athlon 64 X2. I decided to use the stock heatsink to shave a small off my budget. I won't be undertaking as well might intense things with it yet. However read my con on that. I ended up working with the stock heasink from my Athlon 64 X2, (yeah from my 6 yr old build) it was substantially beefier and had heatpipes and a copper base. Working effectively under complete load.

AMD was generally the finest selection for the budget technique builder. For that value, this is my selection. The heat-sink of the CPU cooler is incredibly, really, really simple. Aluminum only, not impressive in size as properly... but it does its job, so nothing at all to complain about. A processor is a processor is a processor... it does its job and if it operates at the time of obtain it will most in all probability work in the next 10 years as properly.

Value beats x2 phenomsStock cooler is fantastic for what it was developed for- running at stock.Seriously, If you're on a spending budget, don't go with a x3 atlon in hopes of unlocking, 20$ more gets you that added core with out gambling. none I wanted to get a phenom for the L3 cache but I was on a spending budget and a 4core was much better than a 2core with an l3 cache in my opinion.I won't be overclocking unless I get a much better cooler, stock cooler is great although, I'm operating at less than 40 Celsius even when gaming.

Clock speed is actual fast. Not also undesirable for gaming and other junk. Caches could be a small more beef, but I'm not complaining.

1 of the cheapest quad cores, and it is awesome, really quickly none its the second pc i built with this cpu, enjoy it

Pretty quickly for the price tag. You truly can't beat four, 3. Ghz cores for beneath 贄. Speedy multi-thread video transcoding. None truly. Windows 7 Experience Score: 7.3Some have complained of the stock heatsink, but during some heavy duty transcoding, it under no circumstances reached 50°C. Once completed it dropped back down to 29° in much less than 5 minutes.

This isn't the fastest CPU in the planet, but it is 1 of the ideal values. 4 cores (with 512KB L2 cache every), each operating at three.0GHz. Contemporary gaming, video editing, Lightroom/Photoshop, it's all running effectively. Not as effective or power efficient as the newer Intel parts. Even though, with AMDs new platform, I have a feeling they will be back in the game come summer time. I'm at present operating the the stock cooling, with a casefan blowing air from the side toward the heatsink to support hold it cool with no the loud CPU fan kicking in at full blast.

Comment:
Ive a 940 Black operating at 3.four and this propus does as properly..and it runs cooler. Each are working with older opteron coolers and they really seldom get more than 40c. Wonderful price tag and all most will ever want. Spending budget cost for a workhorse computer system truly...whats not to like? Absolutely none

The price is just about unbeatable for the overall performance you are obtaining with this chip. As of right now, according to PassMark CPU Benchmarks, this chip ranks in the best 15 among over a 1000 ranked processors in terms of CPU Value (computational power per dollar spent). As you could currently know, it does not have an L3 cache like the Phenom chips, and it won't execute as rapid as a Phenom. If you want the extra speed from getting the additional cache, just save a little more money for the Phenom. On the other hand, if you are looking to develop a good budget machine that is extremely rapidly for the funds spent, you can't go incorrect with this processor. Absolutely none so far. I use my computer primarily for audio editing by way of Pro Tools. My prior Core 2 Duo @ 2.6Ghz would lock up on sessions with heavy actual-time digital signal processing and a a lot of tracks. With my new Propus, I can throw just about anything at it, with genuinely low H/W Buffer size 鵀 samples), and I nevertheless don't come anyplace near full load.

Very Rapid.No System Lag None This precessor has worked great out of the box. The first issue I did was unlock the other two cores that are locked by defaul. I have a monitoring widget and even when running a virtual machine it hardly ever goes more than 50% CPU usage and when it does it is for a extremely brief time. The response is good and snappy specially when paired with 4+ GB of RAM. Delight in the overall performance.

Runs cool, easy to install, excellent price tag for what you get considering at the time the phenom was around ฮ additional. None.

Comment:
Extremely quickly chip for the value. I think this is the only quad core three. GHz chip on the market place for the value. Does all the newest games really nicely. Easy overclock, it stays at about 17C idle and 20C max load, and thats with the stock fan! Stays extremely cool. Good price range chip. none so far, perhaps no L3 cache, but i knew that when i bought it. goes nicely with AMD Radeon HD 6850

Comment:
worked good. got this for my friend i built a gaming/school pc for her. You can't beat the price & quantity of cores. I would have loved to have carried out this in my personal rig.. i would have saved a lot of cash doing so. None, except i wish it was mine!!!!!!!!! i wanna overclock it so poor... of course the included cooler is very tiny but this factor stays truly cool on stock speeds. may well convince my friend to obtain a larger cooler & let me speed this child up a little far more nothing at all too far.

4th personal computer i put together this was the fastes assembly four days from order to giving tio consumer thank you for your great service. as always every little thing worked the initially time no difficulties non

Much less than half the cost of equivalent Intel Core 2 Quad. Was in a position to O.C. on stock HSF in Antec 902 to 3.3GHz stable. From what I hear, this is not the very best for O.C. Not going for following-industry HSF until I need it.

4 cores, low temps, quick. Functions greta in windows 7 64 bit. Except for not having a L3 cache, which I seriously dont see as a con, so far I cant reeally come across one. Okay heres the skinny, I bought this for an AM2 MB by ECS of course it didint operate so, had to get a new mb. Got an ASUS, one more story, pc was already built so I was just going to modify CPU and MB. WIndows 7 64 bit was currently on tricky drive. Put in MB and CPU fired it up went through bios, checked a few issues and windows loaded up did all the function. discovered drivers and whatever else it necessary to do. I'm not missing the L3, this processor is quickly as hell, get it youll enjoy it, and I installed AMD overdrive its one particular fantastic package for the value and I came from a AMD 6000 oc'd to 3.3 and it was a small warmer. Fantastic jump in efficiency with 8gigs, thanks to newegg's rapidly delivery, fantastic prices, great searching internet website so you can very easily understand what you are acquiring and free of charge shipping I am most pleased with this invest in and did I mention NEWEGG is freakin amazing. Now to upgrade wifes Computer. BTW I do a lot of gaming on my Pc, get this CPU, fantastic bang for the buck, all my upgrades Newegg.

Was looking for a quad to for a upgrade with a ASUS M4A88T-I Deluxe AM3 AMD 880G USB three. HDMI Mini ITX AMD Motherboard. I will need to get rid of the stock cooler, 50+ C with a load. My HP slimline 3100 mobo went dead. This was a upgrade and considerably much better efficiency.

I bought this processor to upgrade my son from an old single-core Athlon64. Due to the fact of the difference in sockets, we had to pick up a new motherboard and memory also (and whilst we were at it, we went from PATA to SATA on the tough disk), but boy was it worth it. For 赨, his computer system went from tired to a delight to use. None I continue to enjoy the AMD line for its value and simplicity compared to the complexity of the Intel family members. They could not be the ultimate in overall performance, but they are inexpensive and very quite fast enough for most applications.

It's quad core, quickly overclockable, Though it lacks an L3 cache, it hardly impacts gaming overall performance. Especially when it cmes to borrowing games from my Swedish friends ,It's quite speedy at unzipping those files :DRuns all my games and programs like a beast. Civilization 5 on this infant? - the ideal. Lack of L3, which could sound poor, so far I haven't seen much efficiency loss. Though Mine won't overclock past three.three Ghz paired with an ASUS M4A79Xtd EVO even working with AMD overdrive. Voltage is fairly high at 1.425 for three.3 Ghz Any assist, thoughts, or suggestions for a greater overlock would be very substantially appreciated.

Simple Setup, came with a cooler, no overclocking so stock cooler works really nicely, it was a create for my daughter who had a dual core opteron before this, this items screams!!!! can't complain for the price tag, have not tried on games but I think about it will kick but.

My laptop or computer can handle just about anything I throw at it.Stays at a cool 17 Celcius. The heat sink is fairly fundamental. I would have liked a fancy heat sink to go with the ones on my motherboard.

Comment:
3GHz quad core at 99USD. This chip genuinely need to make all dual cores obsolete. Don't hold your breath on hitting 4GHz with this chip. 3.five-three.8 are about greatest to expect. I bear in mind spending 250 on a q6700 back 2 years ago. This thing is greater. Only slightly regret not acquiring a 955 but that's just simply because of OCing. For a common consumer there is no reason to appear beyond this.
