cabledog2tuff4u 5/23/2013 8:46:29 PM Tech Level: 5/5 Ownership: 4/5 Verified Owner	Rating: 5/5major bang bang Pros: second one what can i say i am addicted Cons: was not free Other Thoughts: where is my t shirt Did you find this review helpful? Thanks for the valuable feedback you provided!
zer0ed 5/22/2013 4:35:08 PM Tech Level: 5/5 Ownership: 4/5 Verified Owner	Rating: 5/5Great Price & Performance Pros: - 4 Cores @ 3.4 Ghz - Excellent performance for a lower price range - Comes with a fan and heatsink Cons: - Stock cooler may not be acceptable for some people. With all 4 cores under 100% load I almost reached AMD's stated max temp of 62 C. At this temp the fan was screaming loud and running at over 6000 RPM! Other Thoughts: Good little chip and a great price. It may be older but it can handle heavy tasks. I used this in a budget build for school where I'm taking networking. This chip, an asrock mobo and 8 gigs ram was the build. I was running Linux with two Windows 7 virtual machines and a Windows 2003 Server virtual machine. It handled my needs with ease. I've decided to stick with stock heat sink for now despite the above mentioned issues. My setup idles around 35 C (with cool and quite + C1E enabled) and with the fan speed set around 3500-4000 RPM. NOTE: make sure your AM3 socket motherboard supports this 125 watt CPU. If your upgrading an older chip, check the manufactures website to make sure! I would easily buy this again if the price remains competitive! Did you find this review helpful? Thanks for the valuable feedback you provided!
WineAggregate 5/22/2013 4:17:23 PM Tech Level: 4/5 Ownership: 5/5 Verified Owner	Rating: 5/5Hot workhorse Pros: 4 real cores, CPU throttling keeps it running cool (idles at about 30C), easy overclock. Great value. Cons: Runs a little hot at full load, but this is almost never for me, and temps are still not real high (<70C). Get a decent cooler to go with it. I use the ARCTIC COOLING Freezer 64 Pro. Other Thoughts: I've had this workhorse for 3 years, paid $166 for it, and it has performed flawlessly. At current prices it is a steal. I'm not a gamer but it competes with the better Intel CPUs in the gaming niche. I do software development and my personal desktop functions with it, where it has more than enough capacity, especially coupled with a SSD. Under Windows 8 it gets a 7.4/9.9 WEI rating, overclocked to a modest 3.8GHz. Unless you do high-end video work or other CPU-intensive applications which require the best CPU you can get, this should be plenty. Even late in its life cycle, I'm expecting this to last several more years for me. Did you find this review helpful? Thanks for the valuable feedback you provided!
N/A 5/22/2013 7:37:51 AM Tech Level: 5/5 Ownership: 4/5 Verified Owner	Rating: 5/5 Pros: Good processor. Handles all the games I run on it fine. Cons: It seems to heat up quite a bit under a heavy load. Not sure though, although I know I can hear the fan start spinning really fast whenever I start putting a heavy load onto it.

N/A 5/21/2013 9:40:44 AM Tech Level: 3/5 Ownership: 3/5	Rating: 5/5 Pros: -Fast -Cheap -Overclocks easy Cons: -Stock cooler runs a bit hot. Don't OC too much without an aftermarket cooler Other Thoughts: I am using oc genie right now to bring this guy up to 3.6 gHz until I get an aftermarket cooler. Anything I do manually past that runs too hot for my taste. Did you find this review helpful? Thanks for the valuable feedback you provided!

Sterling 5/18/2013 12:18:23 PM Tech Level: 4/5 Ownership: 3/5 Verified Owner	Rating: 5/5Ooh, Aah... Pros: This chip is a fabulous improvement to my system that ran a x3 core clocked to a four... I suppose there was a reason it was a three. Good and fast! Cons: None. Other Thoughts: No benchmarks, but I love my new setup: 3.4GHz AMD Phenom II x4 CPU 16GB DDR31600 RAM ASUS M4A87TD/USB3 MB ASUS 2G GDDR5 GeForce GTX660 Windows 7 Pro x64 Did you find this review helpful?

Pros: Fast easily overclocked (4.1 @1.44 volts) Runs decently cool Fast great price to performance ratio Cons: None so far Other Thoughts: I am using an h60 to cool it and haven't even taken the stock heatsink out of the box. Great price to performance ratio. 7.5 on wei out of 7.9 10/10 would buy again Did you find this review helpful? Thanks for the valuable feedback you provided!
