Good Overclocker

white Reviewed By: BBell on 12/17/2008
Rating + 5
Tech Level Tech Level: high - Ownership: 1 day to 1 week
This user purchased this item from Newegg
Pros: Very low power, low heat, good overclock, low price!
Cons: None thus far
Other Thoughts: I bought the 5050e for an HTPC and decided to see how far I could push the OC since no reviews seem to have done so, yet. I replaced an Athlon X2 5000+ Brisbane (65w/65nm) which I could only OC to about 3.0Ghz @ 1.54V. Temps ranged from about 30C idle to 48C under full load.

I got the 5050e to 3.34Ghz @1.44V running stable. Windows Vista boots stable and prime95 has been running stable for about 4 hours now. Temps seem to be running about the same as the OC'd 5000+ (30/48C).

All this done on air with a Zalman CNPS9700 cooler + paste. Motherboard is an ASUS M2R32-MVP

Silent...but deadly

This user purchased this item from Newegg
Pros: Super quiet. Pretty fast. When I initially booted it up in my new system, with case open, could just hear a gentle whisper of the fan. When the case is closed, the entire setup is nearly silent. Like awkwardly silent. Perfect for a HTPC setup.
Cons: So far, none to speak of.

EXCELLENT

white Reviewed By: "Rusty Shackleford" on 12/31/2009
Rating + 5
Tech Level Tech Level: somewhat high - Ownership: 1 month to 1 year
Pros: Low power draw.
No cooling hassles.
More than enough power for BluRay with an HD3400 graphics card or AMD 780, 785 board.
It's back in stock!
Cons: Newegg was OOS when I needed mine.
A little pricey but there are very few 45W dual cores left.
Other Thoughts: I have this on an ASUS 740 board, Gigabyte HD3400 card with HDMI, 4 gigs of DDR2-800 and BluRay is 100% perfect!

Churns out about 57 watts idle and 68 watts under load, according to my Kill-aWatt.

This user purchased this item from Newegg
Pros: Runs what I need it to, and does it without much heat. I used the included fan and I can't hear it over any other (fairly quiet) components, which pleasantly surprised me.
Cons: None really. Sure there are faster chips available, but this will get the job done for 99% of everyone out there.

Tech Level Tech Level: high - Ownership: 1 week to 1 month
This user purchased this item from Newegg
Pros: Just got this processor to replace an old P4 (Energy saving) server that was running around a total power consumption of around 150-180watts. With this new Processor and a new motherboard now im running around 60-80watts MAX!! Got this CPU running at 1GHz and a voltage of .896V and CPUIDHW is reading a temp of around 25-27C. Just amazing! I know this server may not requiere much CPU power but theres times it does, its mainly a server used for DHCP, connecting about 20-30 users online 24/7 and a file hoster and so far its been running almost 2 weeks straight without a reboot and still running as if i had just restarted it!
Cons: NONE!

AMD64 is designed to enable simultaneous 32- and 64-bit computing with no degradation in performance. With dual-core technology there are two complete processor cores in one physical package running at the same frequency to deliver TRUE multi-tasking power, allowing users to switch from one program to another without pausing for the computer to catch up and reducing annoying processing pauses.
newegg HyperTransport Technology
HyperTransport Technology (HT or HTT) is a high-speed, low latency, point-to-point link designed to increase communication speeds between integrated circuits in computers, servers, embedded systems, and networking and telecommunications equipment. With HT technology the AMD Athlon X2 4850e Dual-core processor enjoys 2000MHz system bus speeds.
