AMD Phenom II x4 965 BE

Price on sale is hard to beat for the last of the Phenom II x4 processors out there. Easy to overclock.

Runs hot, even stock. You have to make sure you have adequate case cooling, and a good fan and heatsink for this processsor. Don't even consider using the stock cooler unless you have a well ventilated case and a fan or fan driven duct port on the side of the case, and if you plan to overclock, don't even use it at all.

This processor offers good bang for the buck. It is capable of being overclocked well with adequate cooling. Mine runs at about 3.7 GHz with an aftermarket heat pipe cooler with a push/pull fan setup. Using Cool N Quiet, it runs about 30-32C at idle, and when at full load running heavy Video encoding procedures for up to two hours at a time, it never reaches 55C. I can live with this.

TOP CRITICAL REVIEW
Watch the ram

Great cpu!!!

Wacth the ram frequency. Anything higher than 1333 voids your warranty because it is deemed factory overclocked and the memory controller for any amd processor right now is 1333.

I am not saying that any ram higher than 1333 will not post. But it will eventually make your system unstable and crash. I am trying to save you from a headache. I wish what I ve been through with my mobo manufacturer on no one. So please just get 1333 with this processor.
