Asus M4A78T-E Motherboard, AMD Phenom II X4 965 Black Edition Quad Core Processor, & Corsair PC10600 1333MHz 4096MB DDR3 Memory Bundle

Comment:
ASUS M4A78T-E Motherboard One had to flash the bios as soon as I got it. Relatively nice board I'd say, to be honest the onboard graphics wasn't too bad for being onboard. The main reason for the performance score is the fact it was acting really flakey for me when trying to put a fresh copy of 7pro. Not 100% sure if it was the mobo or the os but something was flaking out. Its running great right now so i'm pretty satisfied.

AMD Phenom II X4 965 Black Edition Quad Core CPU Just got this baby today, and placed on the Asus M4N78 PRO mobo. Did not take long mobo reconigized right away. Went to Asus and AMD websites to download drivers and updates. Have not had a chance to play with the overclocking. But a quad-core at 3.4 GHZ really no need to do that until I start doing some serious work to it. Runs at 31 degress C. Placed an aftermarket fan on the cpu and everything is super quiet. No grips yet

Corsair PC10600 1333MHz 4GB DDR3 Desktop Memory Not sure you can say much about memory. Works well, but I haven't done any benchmark tests for comparison.

ASUS M4A78T-E Motherboard Not what a high gamer will want with its built in graphics, but handles everything else you could want. Comes with all the essentials for a great system with the ability to add on. With quad core AMD my system screams. As with all ASUS MOBOs assembly and installation was a breeze.

AMD Phenom II X4 965 Black Edition Quad Core CPU This is a great CPU it runs like a champ I am using it in a file server on my home network and it does a great job! AMD sure did a good job on this on. However if you want a CPU thats more speed and power i would suggest getting an i7-975 its what i use in my main PC and it spanks on this AMD CPU..

AMD Phenom II X4 965 Black Edition Quad Core CPU This cpu rocks. Fast out of the box After a bios update to F7 for my board. Got this one for less than the 955 on sale elsewhere. Cant beat that. Go AMD.

AMD Phenom II X4 965 Black Edition Quad Core CPU Cant beat the 965 for speed and cost. I haveb't blue screened it but 3 times and that was under a big load.

ASUS M4A78T-E Motherboard Every component went together nicely on this build. This was largely due to this mobo. In past builds I have had similar problems with these boards as Lee has expressed. If you haven't already tried it just reset the RTC by moving the jumper to pins 2 and 3 then back as recommended. Access the BIOS after POST, and adjust the clock time and date settings to the current time and date then boot as normal. Something to try before you go through the hassle of shipping the board back to TD.

AMD Phenom II X4 965 Black Edition Quad Core CPU Was looking at the latest AMD cpu's for an upgrade. Ran across this package deal of MB - CPU. The mb and cpu had what I was looking for. I have been a AMD fan for years and this one is fast!

AMD Phenom II X4 965 Black Edition Quad Core CPU Runs everything that I have asked of it. My I.T. guy is totally jealous and wants to get one of these immediately.

Comment:
AMD Phenom II X4 965 Black Edition Quad Core CPU Not as stable overclocked as intel. I am running a stock fan as I did with my intel and the AMD occasionally bluescreens at 3.5 ghz.

Corsair PC10600 1333MHz 4GB DDR3 Desktop Memory Works like a charm. Easy install (of course) and a 7.3 out of 7.9 rating on my windows score.

ASUS M4A78T-E Motherboard have been stressing the motherboard since I got it with 3d applications and it's been working amazingly. So far don't have anything bad to say about it I just wished it had come with a crossfire connection cable.

AMD Phenom II X4 965 Black Edition Quad Core CPU I've gone from one of the first gen opterons to this and I've only had it for 2 weeks. I've stressed it a lot already and has been performing better than I thought and has easliy exceeded my expectations.

ASUS M4A78T-E Motherboard I got it as part of a combo deal thru Tiger. I read a review of this board along with an AM3 processor that said it would be good for Windows 7. As it turned out I installed Windows 2008 Standard R2 with: Phenom II 955 Black OCZ Fatal1ty 4GB PC10666 DDR3 2 Hitachi 1 TB ATA 7200 rpm Sata-3g Rack Mount Case Ultra LSP750 750W Powersupply Coolermaster Hyper TX3 CPU Cooler Dual Layer DVD drive The network drivers did not work with Windows 2008, and Asus does not support that OS with drivers. I downloaded the R2 iso and burnt a disk. Lo and behold Microsoft supported the networking. Whew! Bad on Asus. I had not dealt with SATA before and had some trouble getting a boot with 2 drives. SATA 1 is the boot disk even though the bios seems to want to boot from Sata 3. The OS seems to see virtualization, but I have not put up a vm yet. The os installed the role with no problem.

AMD Phenom II X4 965 Black Edition Quad Core CPU Don't be fooled by i7 hype. The best bang for your buck with AMD! My last CPU was Intel, but switch back to AMD and happy I did. I rendered a full HD 1920x1080i 1min video in only 4min. Took over 20min on my Intel so I'm really happy with the speed with the Phenom 965.

AMD Phenom II X4 965 Black Edition Quad Core CPU Its ok

Comment:
AMD Phenom II X4 965 Black Edition Quad Core CPU Not the best value for money but by far an impressive push for performance The 955 can do the job at a better price but if you want to stay on the top this is it. Ive never considered i 7 because everything with an i 7 logo is too posh pricey. I added SSDs instead with the saved money my 965 runs 35 C on a 6pipe fan cooler in an MidCasing at stock speeds.Can easily be pushed further i believe.
