Construct my 1st pc with this processor and it's running excellent! Haven't had a single hiccup with this processor and it multitasks like a dream. Can play WoW at 70+ fps and appear on the online/listen music at the same time with no any challenge. none

quickly, does the job fan is too loud I was pleased with this product, the only downfall for me is that the cpu fan is also loud...

Great cpu for the price tag unlocked the fourth core with ease as the other overview mentioned it brought my windows encounter from six.9 to 7.three. 7.3ǝ.9 is fairly great for the 80 dollar cost tag if you ask me. The heat sink that comes with it is great sufficient for unlocking the 4th core its about 45c below function load which is well within exceptionable use. Not at all exactly where amd shines

Comment:
Common higher-quality AMD CPU. I couldn't unlock far more than the 3 cores on my Asus MB, but it isn't like I expected to be capable to anyway...

Comment:
I am lucky to have the 4th core unlocked and OC to three.6 devoid of tinkering. Nothing. MSI 880GMA E53 board with unlocking and OC bios setting.

I built a new computer with Globe of Warcraft in mind. Combine this with a 5670 video card and you've got an incredible price tag/performance ratio. None

Runs fast, I'm upgrading from a turion dual core even though, so no fair comparison. Performs excellent. Paired with ASRock Mobo, 4th core unlocked, but not stable sufficient to boot windows. Payed for a triple core, got a triple core. Unless your performing bleeding edge gaming this CPU with a AMD 5770 plays anything on 1080p higher settings devoid of difficulties, rapid sufficient for daily use.

I did not know what to count on when I bought this cpu.Hands down this cpu is incredible! It was uncomplicated for me to unlock the 4th core and I OC'ed it from 3.2ghz to three.8ghz. Even although I unlocked the 4th core and OC'ed it, I can't seem to discover the further 6mb of L3 cache every person is raving about!!!

amd.. which signifies tough and dependable. really cool operating on 3 cores.. overclocks good.. three.5 stable utilizing burn in 2008 all night wish i could have unlocked it to a x4 denab... got a phenom ii x4 b 50 propus.. no l3 cache. NOT A CON AT ALL! im just bein greedy ;) just to see how far it can go i took the bus speed up to 250 and the multiplier to 15.five. ran at three.875mhz 32c steady with thermaltake contac30!!! but maintaining it at three.5mhz

worked out of the box. no difficulties. paired it with the MSI 870-G45 AM3 AMD 770 ATX AMD Motherboard and unlocked the 4th core with no issues. it now shows up as a quad-core phenom II. none

Eggcellent worth. A major step up from the old program that had a Celeron D 420. Following I settled on the Athlon II, the triple core seemed like the ideal alternative in the cost range. Incorporated HSF is kinda pitiful. I haven't handled a chip with pins in a couple of years... makes me a bit nervous. We mainly function with Dell Optiplex/Latitudes and Apple Intel Mac's at work. Intel's LGA style is a lot less complicated to handle.For the cash, no complaints. My upgrade on a fairly tight price range (spent 趁):AMD Athlon II X3 450MSI 870A-G45 (SATA III, USB 3., and so on.)G.Skill 4GB DDR3 1600 F3-12800CL9D-4GBXL

An remarkable processor can deal with any game I can throw at it although nevertheless having the convenience of multi-tasking. I was also in a position to unlock into a quad core and it EVEN had the 6MB L3 cache which I was really excited to see. I managed to overclock it to four.0Ghz but the temperatures have been uncomfortably higher so I'm maintaining at three.6Ghz rather till I get a superior CPU fan. Even though playing StarCraft two I occasionally get odd crashes which began when I place in the new processor. It's weird even though because I've tested it with Prime95 for a complete evening unlocked and overclocked with no failures. Great processor and the 4th core and L3 cache were a Incredibly good bonus.

Unlockable core. Win 7 64 bit views it as a phenom quad coreStock heat sink is adequate Whilst adequate, you'll in all probability want to upgrade the Heat sink if you do any overclocking or gaming.

I purchased this for a class I was teaching - Develop Your Personal Laptop. I paired it with an Asus M4A89GTD PRO/USB3, two sticks of Kingston 4GB 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1333 (PC3 10600) Desktop Memory Model KVR1333D3N9ǚG, XFX HD-485X-ZNFC Radeon HD 4850 1GB 256-bit DDR3 PCI Express two. x16, and a Western Digital Caviar Black WD5002AALX 500GB 7200 RPM 32MB Cache SATA six.0Gb/s 3.five. Booted correct off and right after installing all the updates and MomBd drivers I have a rocking machine. All windows encounter ratings are above 7.1 except the challenging drive at 5.9 (I suspect I have completed one thing incorrect - ought to Study The Funny Manual ! The 4th core unlocked NP but I may lock it back down due to the fact it does not influence my WEI of 7.1 and this build is strong no require to tweek cept the HD issue. It is way too significantly enjoyable to play with. I utilised an old case, stock fan (CPU at 34 but will go into higher 40s although gaming all acceptable), an additional old DVD R/W, 450W ATX2 PS, and leftovers from other builds.

It is as advertised, a triple-core Athlon II. Blazing quick, aspect of a new make (my upgrade from a 6 y/o P4!), appreciate this CPU. Insufficient thermal compound on the heat sink, but not enough of a bother to dock an egg (thermal compound is cheap). I was hoping to unlock the fourth core, but it seems AMD's die sort folks have performed their job, so I can't complain about QC. AMD, get your defects below control!

Unlocked complete on Deneb with 6mg L3 cache!! "AMD Phenom(tm) II X4 B50; Deneb Core L3 6 Mbytes 48 way."I under no circumstances get lucky in fact luck and me just don't appear to get along. But (knock on wood) this puppy unlocked to a quad core with the operating L3 cache. I had to RMA the 1st a single due to a undesirable memory controller, didn't expect this one particular to unlock, I figured all these have been extended due to the fact gone. Minor flaw with temps but a fair trade in my opinon! AMD need to be ashamed of the stock heatsinks they ship with these. (Just cut aluminum blocks, mine looks like it was cut with a table saw and in no way sanded at all.) And if your hoping to unlock or OC you need to think about the price of decent heatsink vs the Phenom's with the far better heatsinks. If you already have a good heatsink then go for it, even at 3 cores these are quite sturdy and rapidly cpu's at 4 cores there monsters. With the additional core unlocked I can not see the individual core temps but CPUID's Hardware monitor nevertheless reports overall Cpu temp (which is all I want.) And it's not stable with four cores at one hundred%, effectively at least my computer freezes but that may possibly not be the cpu's fault, even so any three cores can run one hundred%. I went ahead and bumped the voltage on the cpu and northbridge and so far so good, WIE rating of 7.four running at 3.36. But I'm no master oc'er and I don't have the best PSU in truth I'm shocked it's held up as nicely as it has and my Asrock 890GX S3 isn't recognized to be a excellent overclocker either but I haven't ran into something as a result far other than anxiety test that has come close to pushing this to one hundred% so I'm freakin thrilled with my 79.00 acquire!!Nominated for the Consumer Selection Award.

1. Runs cool (idle 39*C)two. Unlockable 4th Core! You can turn this CPU into a quad core. How awesome is that? Took 5 minutes to do (only two settings will need to be changed in bios).3. Great price tag for what you get. 1. Fan has moderate sound. Not also loud but wish it was a small quieter. Not adequate to take an egg off even though. Men and women who buy intel cpus dont realize it provides them only tiny FPS gains in video games. In other words - they are hardly worth the cash. Some men and women just like bragging rights... But if you want performance for the $, this is what you need to have.
