Pretty amazing budget chip
Pros: Inexpensive, decent performance
Cons: None so Far, except it would not go past 4 ghz with an aftermarket cpu cooler ;)
Overall Review: I bought this to build a budget system and OC the heck out of it, with a Xigmatek cpu cooler setup (air cooled) I managed to adjust voltages and get it up to 4ghz for a day, it was not completely stable at 4ghz as after one day of it being on it did crash. I have it set to 3.8 ghz and it is great, it is a little choppy playing D3 but 4 cores would be best for that also using an old video card. Honestly I would use this chip again seeing as how I only paid $50 for it and have gotten over a year of amazing performance
Awesome So Far
Pros: Amazing performance, amazing price for performance, nice and light, easy to use.
Cons: Not the most attractive case
Overall Review: Honestly I bought this as my work laptop and I am an IT guy (desktop to voip and network) for a real estate company and at the price I was able to order 16gb ram with it and stay under my budget for a new laptop. It performs flawlessly and I am quite happy.
