This is perfect for budget builds for almost any setup up, games and otherwise. This unlocked stable for me (bumped the voltage a step just to ensure it get the power it needed) 4 cores running prime95 overnight with no errors. When i woke up the cpu temps were at 46c full load on corsair a70 (that's with the inculded paste, better temps with better paste of course). pretty amazing. Make sure to turn cool n quiet off to prevent a crash when going from full load prime95 to nothing (has to do with voltage/vdroop)
It's out of stock and i want another!
Wish it came in better package since i had a few bent pins (bending them back was easy enough).
Very powerful CPU. A huge step up from Athlon X2 (65nm). Was getting random frame drops in Crysis Wars, now I can crank up the graphics settings. Overclocked to 3.6Ghz daily on water with 9800 GT and Nvidia 570SLI chipset using a 360mm radiator. Still runs cooler than I need it to. I can keep the radiator fans on low and still game.
Arrived in a little plastic coffin, fumbling around inside a cardboard box. There was almost no insulation in the 10 cubic inch box. The plastic CPU coffin was not tapped closed. When I opened the shipping box, I found an empty CPU coffin and a processor free and flopping around in the shipping box.
At least a dozen pins were bent on the processor. This was due to poor shipping and I even took pictures of it. **Zero eggs + two eggs** for Neweggs great custom service (and fine talking women). I called and the (attractive-sounding) young woman I talked to set up an RMA if I so chose to use it. I decided to straiten the bent pins out and test the processor. Low and behold it worked.
Newegg probably used drop shipping or something. This was a complete outrage. Newegg has never shipped something so poorly packaged before. I certainly hope it was a fluke and someone got fired or written up for it.
