This review is from: AMD Phenom II X4 940 Black Edition - Phenom II X4 Deneb Quad-Core 3.0 GHz Socket AM2+ 125W Processor - HDZ940XCGIBOX
Pros:
Running this on an MSI k9a2 Platinum at 3.4. Ran as high as 3.5 stable with default settings on 1.5 bios. Runs everything I throw at it without a hitch.
Cons:
H/T at 3600 mhz. Turned up to 4000 in bios, supposedly this also changes northbridge frequency (according to MSI support, haven't verified this), seemed to make a difference although I haven't benchmarked to verify. What the computer can do in the real world makes more difference to me than synthetic benchmarks, anyway.
Overall Review:
Very good processor, especially for the money. My system: K9A2 Platinum, 940 Deneb @3.4, 8Gb GSkill @1066, Perc 5i w/ 4 73GB 15K Cheetahs raid0, WD 750GB SataII and 320 Barracuda for storage. This system FLIES in all respects. I can't imagine NEEDING anything more at present.
