Tech Level Tech Level: high - Ownership: 1 day to 1 week

Pros: Overclocks very well on stock HSF. Have mine at 3.25GHz on stock air and voltage. Most reviews say this is the sweet spot for this chip; much higher and you'll have to throw voltage at it in unacceptable amounts. Oh, and it's running temps of about 38-42C idle (I never really stay still long enough to properly check :).

Runs video editing/encoding applications as fast or faster than Phenom II X4 series. Costs well under half what a similar chip would have cost just 45 days ago.
Cons: There's really no con here. If you want an elite gaming chip, perhaps look elsewhere. So maybe the con is that at one tenth the price of a bleeding edge Intel chip, this little guy only gives you 45-60% of the same performance... Hey, wait a second!
Other Thoughts: Seriously, if you NEED four cores for video encoding, the price/performance ratio of this chip blows EVERYTHING on the market out of the water.

We had the GHz war. We're still counting casualties from the Core war. Enter the Price/Performance war... and not a moment too soon!

Tech Level Tech Level: high - Ownership: less than 1 day
Pros: "Incidentally, AMD has confirmed that early Athlon II X4s are being sold on Propus and Deneb core designs, the former without any L3 cache by design and the latter with 6MB of L3 disabled." - tomshardware.com
Cons: none
Other Thoughts: Early adopters may get lucky and score Deneb cores with the L3 turned off either due to the cache being faulty or possibly simply to fulfill demand. Don't forget that the majority of AMD's products are based on a single processor design (currently 45nm Deneb quad-core) that is modified to fill different market segments. This is a practice that allows AMD, and Intel for that matter, to maximize yield rates. Consequently since demand for cheaper chips outpaces demand for the flagship core designs every once in a while chips that were binned at the high end get re-badged as cheaper components to fill that demand. That's how we sometimes get lucky with higher overclocks, functional core unlocks, or the ability to activate the L3 cache.

Perfect match for Asus M4A785TD-V EVO mobo

Tech Level Tech Level: somewhat high - Ownership: 1 week to 1 month
This user purchased this item from Newegg
Pros: Great price, great performance.
Easily OC's to 3.42Ghz on Asus M4A785TD-V EVO mobo, with room temp of 76F. I ran stability test on AMD's AOD Utility for 1 hour with no problem.
Idle at 40C, load at 52C with Arctic Cooling Freezer 7 Pro
Cons: None.
Other Thoughts: AMD rocks!

My system temp is at 31C, would probably be cooler if I don't have three SATA HDD in there running.

On my mobo, I set the bus speed to 262Mgz and multiplier 13. All else on Auto (memory, CPU over voltage, etc.) I have the best luck with this settings compared to trying to overvolt it manually. Core voltage went from 1.024 (stock) to 1.392~1.4 on Auto setting, according to CPU-Z and Asus Probe II monitoring software.
