It works

Booted up first try, runs all cores at 36º. My bios recognized fully on boot. I updated it anyway to F4a. No regrets, 'cept the multiplier being locked.

125W TDP for a 45nm chip? Easy Energy Saver (EEG) did not work on installation boot. Using CD at desktop, it fixed itself. No real cons.

TOP CRITICAL REVIEW
AMD is loseing me

its a fast CPU. its quad core.

if you buy a Phenom and a board with DDR3 support you have to manualy set mem speeds (down clock) most of the time because the CPU was designed around a 1333 max mem controller this came from the AMD rep who told me why mine i got here was flakey. down clocked and its fine

wasted money on faster ram supported by the board but not the fastest CPU that will go on it?
