Pretty rapid. Not horrid pricing. Cool at idle. Heats up speedily beneath load. Heatsink fan is cheap and squeaks. Suggest the 970 or 965 more than this. Likely would acquire once more, but with the cost distinction, the 965 and 970 must actually be considerations.

Most critiques say they can clock it to atleast 4ghz with stock voltage on air, wich is why i ordered it yesterday.Cost-free Game as well!!! Coor lol <---- what, what does this mean? are you critical ive never ever heard of such a issue Really should be right here Friday, only takes two days to get to me with 3 day shipping!! I wish i could order all of my stuff from there warehouse in Tennesee lol. My 965 is going into my small brothers next develop most most likely

to the very first reviewer of the product i, can understand that perhaps the new processors from Intel are very good for the value. but you bought this one particular and you purchased it without having getting to buy a new mother board and my guess something ells. acquiring a new processor type Intel signifies new motherboard and in some peoples cases, if you want to get the greatest out of the chip therefore that's why you bought it, also RAM. But that's not my pint. I'm certain you weren't expecting a big difference in improvement over the preceding two phenoms. you didn't even evaluation the item you just bashed it. if you were weren't prepared to pay for a new motherboard and processor from Intel or wait a couple far more months for the bulldozer from AMD than the least you can do is essentially critique the product you decided to get and give an correct description of how it handled within your expectations, not what it is compared to one thing ells you don't even own. from what i see AMD is attempting to get rid of as numerous older processors as the new one is soon to come out. which in quite a few peoples situations its fantastic the final years processors which are a lot more than sufficient for the majority are going to be able to construct a extremely affordable and fast personal computer. for the rest of us it indicates temptation over the revisioned more rapidly old vs. the upcoming new. personally as soon as bulldozer arrives my guess is that phenoms 955 and 965 are going to drop down in value and also the 6 core phenoms 1090t and 1100t. perfect chance to construct a fantastic computer with this processors without having obtaining to spend a bunch of dollars. from what i can tell they can take care of almost everything nicely, games and all. a few much less fps in a game or seconds off encoding isnt going to kill me. unless you are trying to impress your pals than there's no point. my opinion although. absolutely everyone has theirs and i respect it just give some beneficial information as effectively considering that it is a assessment.

Quad core cpu at 3.6ghz, with lots of OC headroom. Fairly simple installation. None I purchased this to replace my 955, because I am using that processor in a new build for a buddy. Installing it in my HAF 932 was a breeze, and I was right away able to clock this baby up to 4.1ghz with MSI's OC Genie. Like a lot of people today, I wasn't sold yet on the Phenom II X6 cpu's, specially given that most gaming benches I've seen favor the X4's. This will very easily hold me gaming for very a whilst, and at its 189.99 price, I couldn't resist. If your operating a Phenom II X4 955 or below, I extremely recommend receiving this cpu.

Good upgrade for my AM3 technique. My earlier processor is a Phenom II X4 970, so this is a pretty tiny upgrade but I had to have it :) My Fritz Chess Benchmark score has gone up from 17.56 to 18.05 though. Woo-hoo! Rapidly fast rapid Given the competition, I would like to see this a bit cheaper but oh well. Also, my previous Phenom II X4 970 idles at .86V, this a single idles at .99V, so a small more power hungry and a bit hotter. Removing my PII X4 970 cooler (Scythe Katana) from my motherboard (Asus Crosshair IV Formula) pulled the processor correct out of the ZIF socket with out having to lift up the arm issue, bending various pins in the method :(. Not certain who to blame for this... Asus for the ZIF socket, or Arctic Cooling for creating their thermal paste to sticky. Or could just be negative luck... oh nicely.

Simply overclocked to four.2 GHZ stable on air. I'm fairly positive you could probably get to four.5 or far better water cooled. I got a clean post at four.3, just couldn't maintain it stable. The 6 core might be a far better cpu overall but if your a gamer this is the way to go due to the fact there are no present positive aspects in gaming for 6 cores and it's easier to push this CPU to greater speeds. You might be able to produce similiar or quite close clock speeds on the x4 970. This is the very best factor for gaming AMD has to offer at least until the Bulldozer hits and all we can do is speculate on that until we see some evaluations.

All intense gamers need to have this processor, packs really the punch. The heatsink that comes with it is difficult as hell to clip on the motherboard. To get it on put the side with the lock on initially and then force down the other side, trust me it won't break but your not going to be able to lock it simply because it's tight sufficient already.

Excellent looking FAN/heatsink assembly - not but able to run the CPU - see Cons:/Other Thoughts: for the reason why. BIOS Problems with HP/Compaq's H-Apricot-RS780L-uATX Motherboard - Let me be quite clear - This is an HP issue, not an AMD challenge, and not a NewEgg challenge. Fix is supposed to be coming by Mid-May per HP Tech Support - So if you own a Presario CQ5720F Desktop method - this CPU does not yet function - but is promised to be supported with an upcoming BIOS update. HP spec sheets for the motherboard mentioned it was supported... but apparently it was not. Not a reason to steer clear of this CPU - just some thing to be aware of. This is a fairly new CPU - HP was apparently, or is now, conscious of the dilemma for the H-Apricot-RS780L-uATX motherboard utilized in the CQ5720F system. NewEgg did a terrific job on delivery - therefore they get 5-stars.

I've noticed my computer's been quite a bit quicker since my upgrade. I upgraded from an Athlon X2 6400+ 3.2GHz, and I think this is a great processor for the price. I decided not to go with the 6 core phenom for price reasons and the fact that gaming won't take full advantage of all cores at this time. My decision was a good one, as I see a pretty good performance increase in gaming now.
