Runs too hot for its own good
06/14/2009
This review is from: AMD Athlon 64 X2 7750 - Athlon 64 X2 Kuma Dual-Core 2.7 GHz Socket AM2+ 95W black edition Processor - AD775ZWCGHBOX
Pros:
...it's fast for the price.
Cons:
Runs hotter than my Athlon 64 X2 6000+ 125W at stock settings. I've tested it on various systems using different cases, heatsinks, fans, thermal solution, etc. I know all this because I went through the process of determining that my CPU was bad. It was -at 64 degrees Celcius it would shut off. I got it RMA'd and the new one runs just as hot, but hasn't shut off on me yet. I don't dare overclock it, which I think defeats one of it's main purposes.
Overall Review:
AMD's website is a complete joke. Their warranty instructions tell you to go to their site to file a warranty claim. However, this model of CPU isn't even listed as an option to file a warranty. In fact, their whole online account system is bogus. I finally got in contact with a good rep who pushed everything through for me and was able to get my new CPU shipped. I didn't even have to pay for shipping the old one back :)
