This review is from: AMD FX-8150 - FX-Series Zambezi 8-Core 3.6GHz (3.9GHz/4.2GHz Turbo) Socket AM3+ 125W Desktop Processor with Liquid Cooling Kit - FD8150FRGUWOX

Pros:

great processing speed. Decent multitasking, runs cool and stable. the liquid cooler is awesome keeps chip very cool and is quite silent. As mentioned the light on the cooler is pretty cool. I feel I got it at a steal well under 200 bucks.

Cons:

none i can think of (no I won't mention the eight cores not being real cores. one nothing runs on eight full cores at all. two this feels just as zippy as my i7 970 six core but didn't hurt my pockets like the 970 did.

Overall Review:

I would have bought it at retail price need be
