Tech Level Tech Level: high - Ownership: less than 1 day
Pros: 3.4GhZ
Quad Core
Cheaper than the other competitor on Price:Performance ratio.
Can be OC to 4ghz+ with a Third Party Cooling solution
Newest and Most powerful AMD CPU you can get as of now
Cons: 140watt cpu
Some Motherboard Bios may need to be flashed for this new CPU since 955 version is freshly new and some mobo are still not recongized yet

See Other Thoughts
Other Thoughts: This is exactly the same as 955 version. This CPU multiplier is set to 200Mhz x 17

If you already have a Phenom II X4 955 Black Edition you DO NOT NEED TO UPGRADE to 965, basicly you can set your 955 multiplier to 200mhz x 17 (Default is set on 200mhz x 16) on your Bios or overclocking software to gave the same exact 3.4ghz that 965 does.

I don't see the need to upgrade 955 to 965.

If you want to compare both 955 and 965 please check the famous Wikipedia for detail info :)

If you have not yet got 955 version, feel free to get this one, Is the same price as 955 before it went down by like $50 cuz of this arrival.

Oh, Watch out for the electicity bill, this beast is 140w compare to 955 125W.

Do your reasearch before buying, as mention before, May need Bios to be flash for this CPU.

This is just my opinion and advice for you guys, please don't let my word stop you from buying this :)

If you have 955, in my opinion i would wait til AMD made 995 edition, save your $

Tech Level Tech Level: somewhat high - Ownership: 1 day to 1 week
This user purchased this item from Newegg
Pros: Delivers 3.8 to 3.9 on Stock Volts...+.75 for 4.0 Ghz.
North Bridge seems to OC better for great ram performance.
Cons: 140W Power Hog, If your Overclocking on Air then don't expect 4.1-4.2 to get stable, Water clockers should go for it!!!. To expensive for a step up over the 955.
Other Thoughts: My ambient is pretty lousy in this part of the house, and I live in Florida so I'm pressing for Winter to get here quick. These CPU's don't like Zalmans:(

Tech Level Tech Level: high - Ownership: 1 month to 1 year
This user purchased this item from Newegg
Pros: Couldn't be happier with this processor. It overclocks well since it has the unlocked multiplier (3.8 Ghz stable idle 36C, 49C load for 24/7) on good air cooling. Complement this CPU with a good graphics card (mine is a Sapphire Radeon 4850x2) and a good motherboard (I chose the MSI 790FX-GD70) , you have a very solid gaming system. I play Crysis Warhead on high settings and get very solid Frame/Sec Rates. If your looking for a price/performance CPU I would have to say you'll be very happy with this processor.
Cons: None at this time!
Other Thoughts: Buy this CPU!!! As It appears as though the AM3 socket will be sticking around for a good while, according to the reviews and press releases I've read.

Pros: excellent processor for the price. I paid a little more than present price but would buy again. I multipled x 18.5 it can go more but I'm happy. Does really well on newer games. If you like having a super computer this is a good place to start.
Cons: none for me
Other Thoughts: A good psu comes to mind, aftermarket cooler for overclocking, I put this in my own gamer with crossfired 4890s and it's a screemer, nice to see a price drop. AMD fans will love this processor.
