I purchased this as part of a bundle deal with an ASUS M4A78T-E and am pretty satisfied with it so far. Can't go wrong with AMD quality. This review was modfied by poster @ 02-13-10 06:07 PM

Very responsive, scales to meet application demands beingenergy efficient. High performance. Competitive pricing is great for pc users. Nice AMD overdrive software allows overclocking tweaking, monitoring performance and temperature.

I bought this processor 3 days ago and I have to say I am impressed . It is really fast , there is a huge improvement between this and my old Phenom X4 9550 . The stock fan is nice . I OC to 3.5 Ghz ( 10%) and no heating problems .

Great processor, WAY cheaper than the other guys, ya little less stats, but hey, is that little extra stats worth 800 more? Nah, not really, these guys are on the side of the gamer, cheap and effective.

Bought this, threw it in a msi 785gm-e65, with 4gb of corsair xms3 ddr3 with win7 ultimate, had no problems at all. actually used the oc switch on the board and oc'd it to 3.5GHz with the stock heatsink and fan! probably can go more, just haven't tried yet. Great buy.

I have had this CPU running for a couple months now. I have run video rendering (Adobe Premiere Pro), Hi def 1080p movie playback, And some memory and CPU hogging games like Rollercoaster Tycoon 3, and this CPU hasn't had any problems with them at all. I'm using Windows 7 Ultimate and have had no issues there either. The reason I bought this particular CPU was it was the fastest one which was compatible with my mainboard. I can't think of any cons for this CPU. I have always had a good experience with AMD and Intel both so I can't say one is better than the other.

This Processor just blow smoke when you run this make sure you have some fast memory and a Motherboard with options that you can use the Unlock Processor well i up graded from a 545 which i had one one month and that little thing blow smoke also.......buy one and you will never look back...:))

I purchased this CPU to replace my old P4 ... what a big different.I can converted a same movie in less than 1/2 of the time it used to take. Multiple programs running is not an issue anymore.I turned OFF 'Cool and Quiet' feature in bios and instantly getting 7.3 (up from 6.9) in windows 7's experience index. Great CPU performance for budget build in mind.

this single quad-core 3.2GHz with an appropriate motherboard matches the performance of a dual 4-core 2.3 GHz that's 8 cores p system i have at work on some tough parallel numerical code. at a fifth the total system price. rockin.

I know nothing of gaming but my world is good when I get a stable mobo and CPU combination to run these two Server products. Gigabyte boards install and run my stuff without giving me any driver grief. The quad cores rock! 25 percent cheaper than Intel and I've never seen such fast large-query execution and sorting. Never had a BSOD, not so much as a hiccup.

Comment:
Wow what a great chip. I have bought two of these so far. I overclocked them to 3.6 without adding any voltage so I'm sure that it won't shorten their lifespan any. As usual AMD products are easy to install and perform great.

Purchased from TigerD for ten bucks more just two days ago. I should had waited. I upgraded from a AMD Atlon X2 250. I did not wipe the system, I just upgraded the chip, and it runs like a champ. I used Everest to benchmark the system, and my scores increased by 89 percent. Video renrendering in ConvertX has shot through the roof and I am loving this chip. I have a Q6600 and this bad boy leaves that thing in the dust most of the time.

This processor is phenominal. it plays games like World of Warcraft at a a framerate of around 100. I did some Ctrl Alt Delete test in taskmanager it ran at 13 percent usage which is pretty good if I do say so myself. any people looking to make a build like me i reccomend this for anyone. The price is bomb you get what you pay for and more.

Comment:
Runs as fast as i5 if not faster.

Comment:
Can under volt substantially at stock. With a Kingwin 1264 heatsink in a very tight, poorly ventilated case I can bump to 3.6 GHz at 1.375V and run Prime95 for hours. Have briefly pushed lots farther but this is all the speed I need.... :-)

Comment:
Being a first time builder, I myself reaching for this CPU, and it delivered. Very reliable, I don't experience any lag, ever. It does a great job, and even with stock cooling it performs as expected. If you are willing to pony up the cash, you will not be disappointed.

Comment:
Love this thing, overclocked to 3.6 with stock cooling then picked up a Coolermaster Hyper N520 and the headway was incredible. Overclocked to 3.9 Ghz STABLE under full load on Crysis. Bought another for another build. Buy Now!

Comment:
easy install, product perform as advertised, work first time no major problems

Comment:
THIS IS A GREAT CPU AND CHEAP PRICE . OVERCLOCK 3.2ghzTO 3.7Ghz AND ITS STABLE WITH MY LIQUID COOLING 760iS. I WILL RECOMENDED FOR ALL GAMING INSTEAD TO GO IN i7 WHICH IS I ALREADY HAVE IT TOO. AND ALMOST SAME SPEED CONSIDER THAT AMD IS

Comment:
This cpu works flawlessly and is pretty fast. It's a pretty close match to Intel's i7 920, considering the price difference I went with AMD.Overall very satisfied.

Comment:
awesome processor, only with 1 fan, this processor stsys cool, the heatsink it comes with is great, cant even here it running, great job amd, and much cheaper when compared to intel,

Comment:
I got this CPU in a combo deal through NCIX. CPU + m4a79t deluxe mobo for $230.00. Awesome deal. Thanks NCIX!!!

Comment:
Tony, your CPU is running at 800Mhz 'cause AMD has this nifty thing called Cool n Quiet. The CPU runs slower when it doesn't need to work hard. But the bad boy under load and and it jumps up the full speed. AMD rocks!! Buy this CPU!!!!
