TOP FAVORABLE REVIEW

for a sixty five dollar processor, this thing is a beast (when overclocked, that is). got it to 3.625 Ghz on my first attempt and is completely stable, idling at 26C. i'm satisfied until the tris and quads get a little cheaper

the heatsink is the smallest i have ever seen for a CPU, didn't even consider using it

if you spend money like a grandparent (as i do), this is a great buy at half the price of most other processors.

TOP CRITICAL REVIEW
Processor DoA

Should be a nice processor.

After troubleshooting a no post issue on the bundled ECS motherboard that came with this processor, I popped the Athlon II into my 6 month old ASUS board that is AM3 ready. The new ECS board posted with no problems when I put my Athlon 64 X2 on it.

However, my ASUS board exhibited the same problems as the new ECS board out of the box. No post. I received a bad processor.

I realize I am outside of the Newegg 30 day return policy, but I just found the time to get this put together and troubleshoot the problem within the past few weeks. I initially thought this was a power supply issue and had to wait on a new case and powersupply before I could continue the troubleshooting process.

If you folks at Newegg could help me out with this processor, that would be fantastic.
