Pros: Overclocks very well.Powerful cpu. Comment: Great overclocking cpu.I'm running mine at 4013.5 Mhz. at 1.4VIt will run higher but I backed it off to 4Ghz and my temps are in the low 30's at idle and low to mid 50's playing pc games or benchmarking with a Vendetta 2 cpu cooler.

Jason_B@NCIX Rating: Review Date: 12/03/10	AMD Phenom II X4 965 Black Edition 3.4GHz Socket AM3 125W Quad-Core Processor Cons: None. Pros: Stock cooler is great. Comment: Bought this to put in a gaming pc with an Asus Ati HD5770 1gb video card, AMD 4 x2gb G.SKILL F3-10666CL7D-4GBRH Ripjaws ram, ASUS M4A79T Deluxe motherboard and Antec Sonota 3 case. All I can say is WICKED. Plays Call of Duty Black Ops unreal.
Joell_H@NCIX Rating: Review Date: 11/11/10	AMD Phenom II X4 965 Black Edition 3.4GHz Socket AM3 125W Quad-Core Processor Cons: None yet. Pros: Good value. Comment: I actually got a defective one of these that wouldn't run in dual channel mode (wouldn't even boot if any ram was in slots 3 and/or 4). After trying many motherboards and ram strips... got a nice RMA from NCIX and finally got it working. Have tried only a little bit of overclocking but it is responding well. Great value for a fast quad core.
jagger27@NCIX Rating: Review Date: 11/07/10	AMD Phenom II X4 965 Black Edition 3.4GHz Socket AM3 125W Quad-Core Processor Cons: -none Pros: -overclocking-stock peppiness Comment: I haven't had a single issue with this CPU or the stock cooler. Like other reviews have mentioned, it overclocks well with the stock cooler and even better with a third party cooler. Most users don't need the power that this offers (and consumes!) and would be better off going with a lower-end Athlon series chip.
Brad_R@NCIX Rating: Review Date: 10/28/10	AMD Phenom II X4 965 Black Edition 3.4GHz Socket AM3 125W Quad-Core Processor Cons: Included HSF is LOUD when CPU ramps up to 100% Pros: Great value for the performance Comment: I'm not an overclocker and I've never used anything but stock heatsink/fans. For the price I'm loving the performance increase in x264 transcoding vs. my older dual-core X2. In regular usage I can't really hear the fan, but when I'm encoding or doing some other CPU-intensive task and Cool n Quiet decides to be more Cool and less Quiet, it gets pretty annoying.
bennnny@NCIX Rating: Review Date: 10/22/10	AMD Phenom II X4 965 Black Edition 3.4GHz Socket AM3 125W Quad-Core Processor Cons: cpu Pros: cheap cpu good for entry level gaming Comment: cheap cpu especially when its on sale or pm opportunities. good value for the chip. not as good as comparable intel chip but it is much cheaper
Marc_A@NCIX Rating: Review Date: 10/22/10	AMD Phenom II X4 965 Black Edition 3.4GHz Socket AM3 125W Quad-Core Processor Cons: Hey... it's a CPU Pros: Hey... it's a CPU Comment: What is there to say about a CPU? It crunches numbers. Exactly what this one does.Performance is not an extraordinary boost from a Q6700. But it does the job.Watch out for pricematch. NCIX has a tendency to slack of on price competitiveness lately.
raptors2k4@NCIX Rating: Review Date: 10/19/10	AMD Phenom II X4 965 Black Edition 3.4GHz Socket AM3 125W Quad-Core Processor Cons: Runs close to AMD's advisable low 60s celsius temperatures on full load with stock cooler Pros: High frequency, good value, easily overclockable (black edition - unlocked multiplier) Comment: Very good value for a quad core (especially with PM/special events) - both business and gaming wise.
Iruthayanayaky_S@NCIX Rating: Review Date: 10/08/10	AMD Phenom II X4 965 Black Edition 3.4GHz Socket AM3 125W Quad-Core Processor Cons: none Pros: Easy Overclocking Comment: I run it at 3.8 ghz its fantastic. It may not be better than intel but its perfect for gaming.I use Powercolor 5850 for my graphics card
Joshua_E@NCIX Rating: Review Date: 10/01/10	AMD Phenom II X4 965 Black Edition 3.4GHz Socket AM3 125W Quad-Core Processor Cons: Stock cooler was kind of ugly - lol Pros: CheapGood for gamingRuns cool Comment: Purchased this CPU for a friends upper-mid-range gaming computer. It's great for gaming, no need for Intel at this point. I installed an XFX 5870 and Crysis runs fluently maxed out. I didn't bother overclocking - there's no need. Great CPU at a great price (bought for $170).
dungnugget@NCIX Rating: Review Date: 09/20/10	AMD Phenom II X4 965 Black Edition 3.4GHz Socket AM3 125W Quad-Core Processor Cons: none Pros: awesome core Comment: great core to overclock even with original heatsink, i run it at 3.75GHz and never had a problem with it.
kristian_j@NCIX Rating: Review Date: 09/19/10	AMD Phenom II X4 965 Black Edition 3.4GHz Socket AM3 125W Quad-Core Processor Cons: stock cooler is loud under load Pros: Easy to overclockgreat price Comment: Bought this for my first build ever and it proves to be a very good buy. Very easy for first time overclockers currently running at 3.7ghz with the stock cooler.
[BF2] DigitalNinja@NCIX Rating: Review Date: 09/15/10	AMD Phenom II X4 965 Black Edition 3.4GHz Socket AM3 125W Quad-Core Processor Cons: Weak on bench marksMaybe not as fast as some intel ones for a bit more. Pros: Fast for the priceCheapFusion platformPlays games wellGreat overclocker Comment: I have this up to 4.0ghz OC on my Crosshair 4 board. It is a great processor and I have not experienced any slow down with it. It is rock stable and have had it for a year with no problems.Only issue is that it may not be as good as some intel CPU's.
Nathan_H@NCIX Rating: Review Date: 09/08/10	AMD Phenom II X4 965 Black Edition 3.4GHz Socket AM3 125W Quad-Core Processor Cons: cheap heatsink Pros: Incredibly cheap for the power it offers.Extreme overclocking potential. Comment: You cannot go wrong with this proc as it offers the best performance to price while giving huge overclocking room with a better heat sink.Everyone should be going AMD with processors like this on the market.
Mike_L@NCIX Rating: Review Date: 09/07/10	AMD Phenom II X4 965 Black Edition 3.4GHz Socket AM3 125W Quad-Core Processor Cons: none Pros: SpeedOC AbilityPrice Comment: I was putting a new computer together for a client as a budget gaming system and this chip is great, paired this with an H50 water cooling system and it oc'd very well. Can't really complain about anything for the price.
Huy_R@NCIX Rating: Review Date: 08/30/10	AMD Phenom II X4 965 Black Edition 3.4GHz Socket AM3 125W Quad-Core Processor Cons: none as of date Pros: AMD Design + ATI backbone is awesome Comment: As of date, the product is fast, can be overclocked properly. With a decent motherboard it can provide the full functionality as expected. This product has delivered what is expected of it for the price and more.

unokilo321@NCIX Rating: Review Date: 07/05/10	AMD Phenom II X4 965 Black Edition 3.4GHz Socket AM3 125W Quad-Core Processor Cons: won't go passed 4.0ghz, I thought I made it to 4.2ghz, it was fine for a couple hours playing games but then I ran prime95 and the cpu usage went to 100% for two minutes and it shut down. damn. 4.0ghz stable for two months though :) Pros: fast, reliable, overclockable, touchable, huggable, sensitive to my needs, hahahaha Comment: I bought this back in April, I waited and waited and waited and man did I ever wait a long time to build a new tower, it was a toss up between this and the i5-750 in the beginning and then..... I got word that amd was releasing their new thubans..... that on top of the much awaited and anticipated fermi gtx 4xx series........ I waited from Dec. last year up until April 24th, then I said ah forget I'll just do a build now I don't want to wait until the end of summer for new parts............ and what do you know, almost a week later both thuban and fermi dropped onto ncix selling pages and I was devastated, how ever, it is stable at 4.0ghz since a week after I bought it. crossfired ati 5770's from XFX, water cooled by swiftech, 4gb of pretty fast ram by G.Skill, on my 23in LCD by Acer, so I can't complain. and with the sale on this week, I was able to quickly sell both my cards and I ordered a gtx280 over the weekend it should be here by thursday :)
Xiong_M@NCIX Rating: Review Date: 06/02/10	AMD Phenom II X4 965 Black Edition 3.4GHz Socket AM3 125W Quad-Core Processor Cons: -Slightly less powerful than the i5 in some areas Pros: -Price-Cheaper mobos-Free game Comment: I got this due to it being around $20 cheaper than the i5 at the time. It's done its job well thus far. Although, I would have gone for the i5-750 if I had waited just a couple of weeks because the price for that went down. But this is still a great processor nonetheless. Mobos tend to be slightly cheaper for the AMD Phenom II X4 965 Black Edition and it comes with a free game so it's still a good deal. Another thing is that you don't have to pay a premium to have a mobo with full XFire.
David_K@NCIX Rating: Review Date: 05/24/10	AMD Phenom II X4 965 Black Edition 3.4GHz Socket AM3 125W Quad-Core Processor Cons: None Pros: Performance, Value, Build Quality Comment: Staight up, the Phenom II X4 965 125W is both a high performing quad and a great overclocker! If you take into acount the amazing value vs their i5/i7 competitors... it's a no brainer!Throw it into an 890GX/FX board and get OCs up to 3.8GHz on air.
