FPS
-Counter Strike:Source(css) 350 fps average everything turned up, hit 1000 fps on deagle_5 one time :O with 20 firefox's open, and everything in the accessories in the start menu open. I was awestruck.

-Left 4 Dead 2 hovers around 100fps everything maxed out.

-Team fortress 2 gets around 200fps average on the =eGO= servers everything maxed out.

-Borderlands runs at a buttery smooth frame rate with everything turned up to max.

Just try and slow it down, you can't. Although, the standard heatsink is ok, I would advise getting an aftermarket. Mine stays at around 32C at a 10%OC at 3.01 with the stock heatsink/fan

If you want a good value for gaming, buy this, you seriously won't be disappointed.
Cons: none
Other Thoughts: For valve games this is seriously a good CPU. Haven't really tried out anything else besides borderlands for non valve games, but I imagine the result would be the same. ABSOLUTELY PHENOMENAL.

Pros: L3 cache, not a bad little OCer. Stays decently cool with stock cooler. Pairs nice with my motherboard which has an Easy OC switch. OCed to 3.36Ghz and stable which seems to be the common maxing out of this chip on stock cooler.
Cons: The stock cooler seems a bit cheap. It has done alright so far but does not seem as well made as the one that came with my AMD AM2 Athlon x2 Windsor 6000+. Will probably replace it with a ZALMAN CNPS9700 later on down the road if I run into any trouble.
Other Thoughts: Was going to buy the 630 Propus quad core for budget purposes but am so glad I went with this chip instead as it has 6MB L3 cache and suits my gaming needs a lot better.

-runs my games great at stock and oc'd
Cons: none whatsoever. i know what i bought and i got what i paid for.
Other Thoughts: first time system builder and overclocker. took a few trys to get it stable while overclocked above 3.0 but needs more time close to stable at 3.2 ghz requires voltage tweaking.
using a msi 770-g45 mobo, allows for easy tweaking.
