AMD Phenom II X4 965 Black Edition 3.4GHz Socket AM3 125W Quad-Core Processor

Comment:
- Rapidly! Substantial upgrade from my Athlon II Regor 250. Runs the most recent games without having hiccup.- Value. Fantastic bang for the buck, especially considering that I'm upgrading an current AM3 motherboard.- Quad Core. A nice advantage for multi-threaded apps (i.e. video encoding).- 6mb L3 cache. This is what makes a Phenom a Phenom. Much more on cpu cache indicates much less time waiting on RAM or hard disk access (I know most neweggers know this!). - Like other reviewers stated: LOUD stock cooler! Soon after installing this cpu cooler my gaming Computer sounds like a rack of servers! Come on AMD. In my opinion this is the only con to the Phenom. I'm going to have to purchase an aftermarket cpu cooler for this cpu because it makes my bedroom sound like a server space. Hold this in thoughts... it might boost the total value of your buy.

Works.Cheap. none The Cheat got his numbers backwards. It's a 7.four for WEI.

Still rocking as day one, only complain it runs a bit hot on air, which tends to make the fans loud, but switching it with antec 920 solved the problem. Been 2 to 3 years since I got this CPU, and its still working like a charm.

I only have fantastic things to say about this processor, I'm very pleased with it. None

Great processor, and even better for the value. I was on a budget and chose AMD over Intel. I do not regret this decision. It was at 90$ in November 2012, less than half the price of a similar Intel CPU. Paired with my 1GB video card, it runs games very satisfactorily, albeit not at max graphics. However, it was a pain to get it to clip unto the motherboard. You must apply a lot of pressure (only use hands please!), I was worried it would break, but it didn't.

Overclocked AMD Phenom 965BE out of the box to 4025hz ʁ.429voltsMemory speed: 1894mhzMotherboard: ASUS Crosshair IV FormulaPower supply: Antec 1200 ProMemory: Corsair XMS3 2x2GB DDR3 (cmx4gx3m2a1600c8)I have no complaints. Computer is stable with all games. NONE

Good CPU, really great Price for Performance ratio, Runs all my games at higher settings, 4Ǜ of the overall performance of i7-960,but for virtually HALF the cost! Your joking, Correct?Nope, absolute greatness! Really excellent for budget builds, and works well with HD radeon 5770.

Comment:
This is a fairly great CPU for the price. I replaced my Athlon 64 X2 2.8ghz with this CPU, not significantly of a performance improve. I mean it was quicker don't get me wrong, it was just not the increase I was hunting for (minus the egg). Don't let this discourage you from acquiring if you are on a budget develop, it's a actually fantastic CPU. None really. If you are hunting for a gaming CPU on an AMD platform, you are undoubtedly much better off paying the extra 60-one hundred bucks for a six-core.

This is a best CPU for gaming, video editing ,audio editing etc .use 64 bit os and 8GB memory , you can have a beautiful system without spending too much money.

Comment:
Can handle most mid range video cards up to double its price without any bottlenecking. Plays modern games with high settings. For the price, it just can't be beat.

Comment:
Runs significantly cooler than my old Athlon 64 X2 6400+ BE Ɠ.two GHz). Old CPU applied to Idle about 39C, 55C Load Ɠ.four GHz OC). This Cpu idles 35C, 52C Load Ɣ. GHz OC). Considerably cooler (same watercooling method on each). Expenses money. This has been a pleasure to OC with. Only a couple days and stable at 4. GHz ྴ.0X CPU Multi, 200 FSB), 1.4750 V. Let's see what I can reach tomorrow!

Comment:
Load OS and games very fast, quad core, and brought it for $90.

Comment:
Decent CPU for under $100. Can be OC to 3.8 on stock voltage with the stock cooler.

This unit does what is says it will do. 7.four on windows index. This is plenty for fairly a lot any individual. Effectively there are these that want beyond what they will ever use. 7.5 windows index @ three.9GHZ. This processor runs hot. I went even though 2 circumstances and a RMA. Initially chip ran at 63 C in 5 mins on prime 95 with stock fan. 1st case ran incredibly hot on stock cooling. Upgraded my case and was nonetheless a bit hot. Bought an soon after market fan. Now it runs like a champ. More than clocked to three.9 on stock voltage. Runs about 10C lower than than stock cooling with over clock. Get an after industry if you want to overclock!!! Possibly a case as well. Excellent processor for the value. It runs hot so make positive you have a lot of cooling. Btw, I reside in Michigan. If I more than heat with a mid size tower on stock, so will you anyplace else just about. Well it didn't shut down, but way too hot for me for stock.

Was going for the fastest thing I could find for my AM3 (but not AM3+) motherboard. There are faster chips out there but they're hard to come by/expensive nowadays.Am really happy with this chip. Especially after OCing. While I didn't think I would, I noticed a huge difference between this and an AMD Athlon 2 Quad c3Ghz.This seems to be the sweet spot for a 75-100 dollar CPU right now. It's not perfect (power consumption, high fan noise), but gets 5/5 for its value to performance ratio.

Comment:
Purchased that to my mother as a gift, she's not doing gaming or such things but it does what it has to do, no problems so far, very happy as it's way cheaper than Intel's processors!

Comment:
Works great this my 4th AMD and as always never problem with them and when times comes easy to upgrade considering is cheap

This 1 is not defective, and Newegg didn't hassle me when I needed an RMA. The RMA procedure was quick and uncomplicated. This CPU is running at 4.0Ghz, 1.475v, and by no means passes 46c, even when SMP folding or playing Crysis. The 1st a single I received was defective. I couldn't enable C&Q, even at stock settings, without having getting bluescreens every single time it tried to drop to low energy state. OCing was also out of the query, as something above stock speed induced crashes, and anything over stock volts brought on the temp to raise dramatically. It just seemed silly to have a Black Edition CPU that couldn't do any better than stock, and couldn't use power saving functions either. I'm satisfied with the replacement CPU. It's quick adequate, stable, and does what I need to have it to do. With that stated, the price tag just isn't ideal for these any additional. Intel has faster parts at comparable rates, which also run cooler and more efficiently. AMD requires to get BD to market place, or at least drop the rates on their recent offerings to remain competitive. There is just no reason to select an AMD CPU right now.

Still one of the fasted quad cores out there for gaming and everything else, cant be beat at this price range.

Comment:
very powerful cpu for it's price, you get quad core too which is even better! multitasking is great on this, would recommend to everyone

Comment:
Is Capable more than overclocking to four.1ghz without having any extra cooling required extremely affordable and incredibly fast gotta adore it havent had any however Excellent Processor!!

Comment:
Extremely fast. I upgraded from a single-core, 64 bit AMD processor running at 2.2 Ghz, and this is noticeably quicker, specially with video editing and game software (e.g., Crysis).The stock heatsink and fan seem additional than adequate at keeping the chip cool, and the fan is quiet, too. None. As in the past, I've identified that AMD gives a superior speed per dollar ratio, and runs anything I want it to.

Comment:
I got this on Black Friday for $69.97, a good upgrade to my AM3 platform which is in its last leg. This cup is fast if you do video encoding, pair it with a modern video card, you can still play modern games without any problem, should prolong the life of my platform for at least another year or two.

Comment:
Super cheap got it for under 90 and 5$ shipping extremely glad i bought this until the piledriver chips drop  in price

Comment:
Fantastic and Quick!!! Simply OC's to a lot of levels above what it is, I had it up to three.92 with no temp enhance, a solid 40c. I am confident it could go a lot higher if you want to attempt. It did not cook breakfast for me.
