AMD Athlon X2 7550 2.5GHz Socket AM2+ 95W Dual-Core Processor

Comment:
I really love this product. It has made my computer faster.

Comment:
running windows 7 pro seamlessly, flawless. the 2mb L3 cache makes the difference. best bang for buck i've had in a long time.

Comment:
Have this running now for over two weeks with no issues. Swapped it with a X2 6000 125W (moved to a board that only support up to 95W) and have no problems with the apps or games that I run. Only issue, that the other 2 cores are not unlock-able, but not really an issue, since I don't need them. Over all, this CPU is great, and runs really cool compared to the X2 6000. Will definitely use these for future builds.

This is the third one of these Ive built a computer with and it will be an upgrade to anyone not a duel core and the speed is great. Only thing Ive found is I cant get windows 7 to install driver for

Comment:
I prefer AMD over others do to the power requirements vs price. I have never experenced problems with normal life of AMD. Good product at a reasonable price.

Comment:
I have had great success with AMD chips in the past and this one so far so good. Running windows 7 and its working well considering 7 still is missing some drivers.

Runs Cool under load, Works with Linux! Good Price!

Purchased this in a bundle for a budget system - working quite well and it's a step up from the P4 2.4 GHz system that it's replacing. Haven't had any issues with it except remember to read that it's OEM aka no HS/Fan ;)

Rush build for friend, so didn't have much time to fine-tune its overclock. Took it up to 3.0GHz at first, without any voltage increase and it booted and ran Prime95 for about 10mins without a hitch. However, over the months, it started giving my friend some problems so we brought it back down to 2.8GHz and there have been no problems since.

Comment:
I recommend this processor to any one who wants a cool running system. Under load it runs at 36 degrees c. At idle it runs around 29 degrees c. Im satisfied

Comment:
cpu is running cold and at a decent tempreturepros: inexpensive overclockablecons: nothing really to complain about but will be outdated soon.

I've used this CPU in several low cost builds and it does the job for your general computer uses. I love AMD processors for their easy socket. Coolers are simple to attach and remove at will without dismateling the motherboard.

Comment:
Not as fast as I expected for 2.5ghz but the price was right and it runs smoothly.

So far, I'm loving this CPU. This is my first AMD on a fresh system rebuild. I installed it on a ZOTAC Mobo, with a ThermalTake TR2 R1 CPU fan with heatsink. Once I worked out the repair install with XP (due to the massive hardware change) this thing showed me a world of difference in performance over the legacy system. Pros: Fast, stable, generates little heat with the right fan. Runs EVE Online at the highest settings with no hiccups. Instantly responsive between applications and with several running simultaneously (Adobe Illustrator, Photoshop, IRC, Firefox, EVE Online). Certainly lives up to its reputation. 2.5 Ghz, high FSB (for its generation) and silky smooth processing. Cons: None. Installed flawlessly. Bottom line: Likely not a better CPU for the money on the market.

This is my first AMD CPU and i'm pretty impressed. I'm used to the Core2 line of products and decided to give it a try. Good value for the price, this is worth it!

Comment:
First ordered the X2 5000+ paired with an Asus m2n68-am se2; reread specs and decided to go with the Phenom core processor... Runs great, so far.

Comment:
I'm hard on PC's and this processor has been up to the task so far.

Comment:
I luv this X2 athlon, I'v always loved AMD CPU's. I find they work as well as the intell CPU, everything depends on the setup of your motherboard to utilize the CPU's strengths. I love it.

Comment:
Stable n happy. Great for the price...

Comment:
This cpu runs really fast for the price. it can handle almost everything that you trow at it. also really good and adequate shipping to puerto rico.

Overclocked to 2.94Ghz and since the AMD AM2 chips are starting to thin out and give way for AM3's arrival I thought I should snap up some before it's too late. The processor is running cool at 28 degrees with a Arctic Cooling heatsink so this is all good.At Stock settings and paired with a Radeon 4850 I'm playing games like Mirrors Edge on Med/High settings very smoothly.I'm going to overclock this shortly and see if I can't get it to near 2.9GHZ then this will make me a very happy soul.UPDATE: after playing around with BIOS on my Gigabyte GA-MA74GM-S2 mobo I managed to pull off a 2.94GHZ overclock with ram just shy of 800MHZ. So a 3Ghz chip in the bag I'm happy. Bumped CPU to 1.344V, HT 12.5 FSB 235 This review was modfied by poster @ 08-05-09 11:40 PM

Seems like a great CPU. Bought it with the barbones kit and it works well and tests great on pcpitstops benchmarks.

Comment:
Yeah, there are definitely faster processors out there, but not in this price range. AMD always gives a little more bang for the buck, and this site has the greatest prices. Thanks guys!

Comment:
I bought this Processor for a computer that I built for a friend. I haven't heard any complaints and because the X2's are inexpensive it allows me to sell the computer at a lower price. They have been an excellent CPU for computer builds.

This little engine is pushing a budget rig and OC'ed to about 3Ghz (stable) on air cooling. For $50 she's runnin like a champ! THANKS FOR AWESOME SERVICE!!!!!!
