Update... Still amazing

white Reviewed By: estaban on 10/9/2009
Rating + 5
Tech Level Tech Level: high - Ownership: 1 day to 1 week
Pros: Update from my last review... I got an aftermarket cooler (Rosewill RCX-Z5) and have further overclocked this processor to 3.2 Ghz. (I was trying to go further but my motherboard doesn't like it when I go any higher). The processor is idling at 29 degrees! Sometimes it dips as low as 27 but it consistently stays at 29 :)
Cons: Lack of L3 Cache I guess... but read my other thoughts.
Other Thoughts: I was reading an article on Tom's Hardware that tested how the lack of L3 cache in the Athlon II X4 affected performance when compared to a Phenom II X4. It showed that overall, an Athlon II X4 at the same clock speed as a Phenom II X4 will give you about 95% of the performance of the Phenom. Impressive. This processor was effortlessly overclocked to 3.2 Ghz, so hypothetically I am getting 95% performance of the 3.2 Ghz Phenom II 955 for about 65% of the price... I am happy with that ;)

Cheap quad core, good results

Tech Level Tech Level: high - Ownership: less than 1 day
This user purchased this item from Newegg
Pros: Processor is working well. I overclocked this cpu to 3.5ghz so far with only a .025 volt increase on the cpu (it booted without raising the voltage, but restarted during the stability testing without the voltage increase)
Cons: I was hoping I would get the version based on the deneb core instead of propus(since that version can have the l3 re-enabled with ACC), but unfortunatly I did not.(oh well)
Other Thoughts: I am not using the stock heatsink that came with this cpu. I am using the stock heatsink from my old 6400+ (since it is beefier than the new stock heatsink and has a copper bottom)

AMD for the win

white Reviewed By: Mike on 2/8/2010
Rating + 5
Tech Level Tech Level: somewhat high - Ownership: 1 month to 1 year
This user purchased this item from Newegg
Pros: 7.4 on Windows 7's Experience Index.
Beats out the budget Core 2 Quad for $50 less.
Exactly what I wanted.
Cons: No L3. For games, it would have been nice.
But that's the sacrifice I made to keep my quad core system under $300
Other Thoughts: Haven't overclocked yet. Still deciding on how I'm going to go about cooling. I plugged it in, turned the computer on, and when i ran CPU-Z it tells me it's running at 2.94Ghz. I'm not sure if this is normal since this is my first Athelon build, but I'm pleased its running faster than the rated 2.8, stable, for whatever reason.

Top Notch Processor

white Reviewed By: rikat on 2/8/2010
Rating + 5
Tech Level Tech Level: somewhat high - Ownership: 1 day to 1 week
This user purchased this item from Newegg
Pros: I researched processors for some time before buying the Athlon II X4. This is an excellent and fast CPU. The difference between it and the Phenom II X4 line is the lack of an L3 cache. I don't need that extra level so I saved some $$ buying this instead.
Cons: none
Other Thoughts: Easy to install - the processor drops right into place and the heatsink/fan are more than adequate (I don't overclock) and also easy to install. You don't need thermal compound as it is already on the heatsink.

Great Processor

Tech Level Tech Level: high - Ownership: 1 week to 1 month
This user purchased this item from Newegg
Pros: This is a great CPU! Quad Cores easily overclocked. The system based on this is fast, and is very stable even overclocked by 20%. A great CPU at a great price.
Cons: The CPU cooling fan is a bit noisy in my HTPC system, but easily replaced.
Other Thoughts: The cooling fan wiht my processor alrady had thermal paste in place, so no need to buy extra.
