This review is from: AMD Athlon II X4 645 - Athlon II X4 Propus Quad-Core 3.1 GHz Socket AM3 95W Desktop Processor - ADX645WFGMBOX
Pros:
This was my first CPU upgrade and it worked! Price & performance are the two main reasons i bought this CPU. It is much easier to install than i thought it was going to be. Once i did some research and figured out the necessary steps, it was easy to do. The heatsink is smaller than my old duel core, but the temps on this CPU run slightly cooler than the other one. I did not have to apply any thermal paste, the fan was ready to go. It was a super easy install once i got the old CPU out. I highly recommend this upgrade It runs Crysis 2 & Call of Duty Modern Warfare 1 & 2 beautifully.
Cons:
The heat sink fan is much smaller than my original.
Overall Review:
Newegg has several how to install AMD CPU's i used them for reference. I would recommend highly that if you have never upgraded to do all the research you can. Make sure you know what to do next, be prepared don't get stuck in the middle. It was a great experience to do this, i feel more confident about my skills than i ever have and am very relieved it worked.
